III you dtc 'e'"''
acquainted with your bows chum'
Do you know him to be Fl COM
pauy for your son?
Every normal boy has singled
out from his friends and acqusin'
tances one particular chum.
This chum 10 his ''other self, y
all of the ''othsr self" be will
have until years Of maturity de-
vslop In him the sex attraction.
If you have studied boy nature
or even II you can recall your
own boyhood days, you must
know that they are the days
wherein the lasting impressions
of life are formed. II 10 also
the period when the dominion OF
a stroug personality 10 most
potent for good or evil over a
weaker or more plastic nature
Have you studied your boys
chum2 II may be almost as
necessary az a study OF the boy
himself. IL that chum all you
could wish him to ber Is he
stronger, or weaker, OF purpose
and character than your boy'
If stronger. all the more reason
for you to know his real charac'
ter, for he. 10 az sure to impress
his personality upon your son a'
that strength overcomes weak
ness.
The boy rarely develops habits
or traits of character acquired
from mere chance acquaintance
or from strangers. It Is from
his ;ntimates that he absorb'
ideas that become fixed in tht
mind and develop into character
Hence the imperative necesSit,
that those intimates be Of right
character.
Some think 1t is risky business
to attempt to regulate a sons
friendships. Admittedly so, ye'
you have it in your power to II
a large degree control the matter
Every normal boy has grea'
respect for his father, provided
that father 10 deserving OF hi
respect. The first step. there
fore, 10 to secure and deserve th'
boys confidence. This accomp
lished, a little tactful considera
tion on your part, together will
a personal interest in his every
day life, ought to give you con
troll Of the situation.
But the sureSt way to contro
the matter il 10 constitute your
self the boys cbum. This Cal
be done if the matter is taken il
hand early in the boys life.
To every young boy his fathe
is q model of perfection. Hi
first boyish ambition is to imitat
father. If that father is deserv
ing of imitation and will cult
vate his boys confidence. tn
problem is solved.
Every father should seek frs
place in his boys confidence
He should make certain that b
stands higher in the boys regar
than all others. And as th
years pass he should see to ]
that the bond is strengtheue
Instead of weakened. But thi
can only be done by fully enteI
ing into the life of the boy an
by making his life your life.
It will pay better than an
other investment you can make.

Under a fire OF cross-examination,
Hoover cleared away much misunder-

Naturally the civil and religious eman-

denied their elemental human rights.

these things are all the cause for de-
vout Thanksgiving and prayerful re-
joicing. The Jews are now in meas
ure reaping the harvest of seed they
have sown in years past; seed planted
in soil enriched by the blood OF mar
tyrdom and the tears OF exile The
Jews have been prominently identified
with all the intellectual movements
