Mr. Dodge's plan for the suppress
sion of 1.-The Yellow Dog is outlined
In his most recent work of fiction. In
| it he portrays the manner In which
the boy power of the suburban town
has harnessed under the name of the
"Poy Detectives of America" and the
town was cleansed of yellow dogism
without untoward friction and with
out the use of the usual police chan
nels Now he wants the boy power
OF every municipality In America har-
messed In the same manner In order
to accomplish the same result ma
tionally.
All that Is necessary to make the
campaign an accomplished fact. ac-
cording to Mr.. Dodge, is a few de-
,ermined men-leader of boys in every |
municipality who will take the trou-
bic of explaining the details to the
youngsters.
The boys first are to be organized. |
They are to be regular detectives for
the purpose OF ferreting out "The
yellow Dogs" Every boy must keep
his ears wide open for direct and H.
Piled attacks upon the government
and keep on the end OF his tongue
the one question How do you
kow?"
The first move insthe campaign Is
for some patriotic CITIZEN TO arrange
fer a meeting with the boys and ex-
plain to them just what the boy De-
tectives of America" is and the mean
Ing Of the organization to the welfare
OF the United States. Then the club
is to be organized. Every boy is to
be given an official membership card
and every member is to receive a s'p-
ply of 1.-THE Yellow Dog" cards 10

the ''feeble-minded twaddle."
