HEY, YOU KIDS, CUT 1T OUT!
NO MORE NICKNAMES, NOW
Boy Scouts Are Asked by P. P. Claxton to
Drop ''Wop" "Dago," "Dutchy" and
Other Popular Ones

It's farewell to our ''Kikes and
Mickeys, Spaghettis and Sheenys.
Waps and Dutches, and Rats and the
rest" IL Commissioner of Education
p. P. Claxton succeeds in a newly
formulated campaign for the elimina-
ton of nicknames for American boys.
The Boy Scouts Is the first juvenile
organization asked to ''cut out" the
use of such nicknames. So, hereafter.
IL the organization follows out the
plea of Mr., Claxton, SWap' will be
Antonio, and "Froggy" will be Fran
co.'s, and Mick" will be Michael, and
Paddy will be Patrick with the
Scouts.
THE use of-nicknames and names,
of derision as applied to the foreign
born of America is a considerable
obstacle in the way of Americsniza-
tion," said Commissioner Claxton in
a letter to Chief Scout Executive
James E. West.
80 long as the foreign-born person
feels that we do not respect him, he
does not want to join America, learn
English or become an American
citizen"

We must not lose sight of the fact
that now the fighting is over il viii
be a great deal harder to find enter

were on the firing line they we're
keyed up to the highest pitch Of ex-

to do police duty and other forms of
labor that will not be exciting and
they will want recreation during
their leisure hours. Our opportunity

they are not neglected. Keep them

work for our boys to do before they
can come back to u.s. Miles and mil
es Of wire entanglements must be
rolled up, and millions OF dollars
worth Of equipment Of various kinds
must be salvaged Ard the work will
be hard and tiresome.
We sent cheer to them while they

that the reversing Of the gears Of the
great broken German machine will
not be simple
There would have been no sur

some places even that line has been

Behind the American line the ac-
