HOqe, 70 Keep
Youths at Home

(By Ethelyn Middleton and Anna
Coyle)
Say at sweet sixteen for girls
and perhaps little younger for boys.
when the inclination lis strong to
voyage into the unknown OF the outs
side world, little conscious direction
on the part Of parents may easily
keep the young people home. And
that, of course, is something all par
eHlts desire to do.
healthy sports the young people take
evenings, though, comes the danger
time. Then it is that thoughtful
parents make home the most attrac-
tive place there is. All the young
people want is entertainm @lt.
Perhaps there is victrola or piano
in the home. Encourage your boys
and girls to use them. Forget the
sacredness of the parlor rug and the
furniture. Let the one be rolled up
and the other showed aside and the
dances go on-in harmless, healthful
fun.
1t is about this time in the family
life when mother and dad belong to
the youngsters, rather than the other
way round. And wise are the parents
who make their children feel this re-
lationship. We all know of homes
that are regarded as havens by the
coterie of young folks
and invariably, of course. it is where
they are given the freedom Of the
house" Perhaps it would not be
amiss to say that usually such homes
are known for frequent "eats" after
the fun Maybe that's the main at
traction. If it is and you want to

were being carried out.
The bells. five of them in the one

of Yanks, to whom the old concierge
had turned over the job. I pulled

was a privilege.

labeled it Boche' and started pa

an, with a baby on her arm became
so enthused that she ran into the
street and tried to kick the thing.
"a huge line Of our fellows formed
a snake dance led by a Jew from the
Third battalion. He had dug up
an old black stove pipe hat which
he jammed down over his head. He
led off with a typical Jewish stage
walk with his head going back and
fourth as he walked.
"Our regimental band, paraded
playing Dixie Hot Time etc,
whereupon the French promoted a
drum, trumpet and half a dozen al
lied flags and started a parade Of
their own. Flags appeared every
where and there were as many big
American ones as French. People in
the streets were vociferous in their
rejoicing, but it wasn't all that way.

saw one woman who wore mourn
ing and was crying softly as she
closed the windows overlooking the
main street. She was one, / think,
for whom the end Of the war does
not mean the return of husband or
a son. There are many in the same
situation.
"Cne old woman had two sons in
the war, one was lost in action at
the very beginning. The other be-.
longed to the Chausseurs a Pied,
one OF the most famous of the
French infantry organizations. He
had a leg taken off by a shell and
has been working in munition fac
tory near Paris since his discharge
from the hospital. Tonight Madame
is rejoicing because the end of the
war means the closing of the muni-
tion factory and the return home OF
her son.
THE chief topic of conversation
is when we will get home. and the
general lopinion is that we will be
back in six months. Lets hope so"

Mr.. McAdoo operated the first cleo

sorts of damage and death. and the
director general soon found his toy
line on the rocks.
