FRICTION IN FAMILY is FATAL

fitted to enter upon the work Of life
is friction in the family. Young people
are by nature loyal to their parents
and it is almost never that a young
person will give as reason for his
leaving home the fact that his father
and mother quarreled or nag at each
other or do not agree upon certain
points.
Friction in the home creates an in.
tangible. impalpable, atmosphere In
which the sensitive child chokes and
pants for the free air of happiness,
or is warped and stunted mentally and

operation of these routes.
A further extension of the employ
ment of gOvernment-owned motOrve-
hicles by its adoption for the parcel
post service of the rural routes, will
be made whenever congress enacts a
law now pending for that purpose.
Operating under the law as it now
