The boy expects this time to come.
He will never forget mother at whose
knee his prayers were taught and
by whose hands was tucked warmly
in bed. But when this period is past
he wants father as a chum to speno
few moments at play and story
telling and lend a service Of a reai
Echum.
Fathers: Wealth, success, fame
power, fortune and honor will become
but the cold ashes Of desolate home
building If you have lost your sons
He will indeed be a glad father down
to old age who has raised and held
through the fool age period of life
and sterling manhood a wise son.
and happy will they both be in a
warm fellowship of the growing
years sharing each others PLEASURES,
purposes and hearts. Father and Son
Week, Feb. 20-28, may get many sons
and fathers together on a new basis
OF understanding chumminess for
life. The boy needs you and your
love and hungry you are for his.
Sons: Be wise and make a glad
father. Better take advice first than
get the al told you So afterwards.
If son is wise, industrious, virtu-
Gus and poius, his father must call
him not only son, but also friend.
If father has time for play, respects
modesty in a boy and understands
boys conscience, the son must call
him not only father but also friend.
Read Proverbs 1857. Here is a
text for both fathers and sons. Could
father give year to write them
on the tables of his sons heart, he
would do good years work. 1t
would be to him fully paid-up
moral insurance policy.
Thus we present the purpose and
motives of Father and Son Week, Feb.
20-28, 1921, and urge its observance
with special sermons, banquets and
programs in Church and homeg

'MORAL GOWN" is SCORNED BY
WOMEN OF NEW YORK CITY.

New York, Feb. 17.-Thatt Inter

may even look well, on some. But
the verdict of New York about it is
that it--does-not--gOi
You know, of course. what the lin
terdenominational gown" is? 1t is q
frock which originated in Philadel-
phia, and was approved by represent
atives of fifteen different church
sects, in the belief that it would
standardize women's costume, and al
the same time get them away from

It must not drop more than three
inches below the neck, nor must its
elevation be more than seven and

sort of diaphanous stuff.

Gently gave it an immediate mirth-
full razz. Here are a few of the
comments they made:
The Rev. ]. L. Bedford, Brooklyn
priest: There is no fool like pdous
fool and they all seem to seek womer
as their targets. Women know how
to dress, always did know how, anC
always will, and they're not going t.

trying to make the women veal

Mrs. Evelyn S. Tobey of the faculty
of Columbia University. who also
advises 5000 business girls, members
of the Carroll club:
"Those men ought to know you

don't think any one who reclas'

1t is wrong, too, to deprive womer
of their opportunity to express theil

SPANISH HEIREssEs

Sometime ago The Journal received
story from Apalachicola concerning
an alleged Spanish heiress who want
ed to come to Florida to live with
her dear kinsman," a gentleman Of
that city who is a prosperous mer-
chant.
1t had been some years since Jose
Rodan last pulled the Spanish heiress
trick and created near-international
complications so The Journal prompt
ly carried the story in all its details
but on it's editorial page (Which al
most every Journal reader scans close
Iy) it commented on the fakes which
had been perpetrated.
In addition to this comment, The
Journal correspondent at Apalachicola
was asked to keep especial watch on
the story for future developments.
Here Is the result:
'SThe niger in the woodpile has
shown his kinky head Recently Mr..
H. L. Flowers heard directly from his
Princess in Spain'' This time the
girl herself wrote She gave him all
possible data concerning the tragic
death of her father, Senior Herrera.
She inclosed a photograph of herself
A photographic copy OF her fathers
will and testament, was also thrown
in.
"Oh, IL was all in order These
clever Castillian grafters had built up
true Castle in Spain Every step
in the story was done in an unusual
way. Only at the last did the real
motive for the correspondence pop
out; for on the last page of her letter,
the unfortunate orphan asked Mr.
Flowers to advance her seven hundred
dollars ($7Oo.oO.)
It's needless to repeat, that she
hasn't received the money. Further
more, the publicity that the Journal
has given this bold piece OF graft will
end rather clever and widespread
bunco game, which has been spread
| ing over the state of Florida: for sew
eral of the prominent citizens OF this
small town are now acknowledging
the receipt of similar'letters. only in
the case of the Herrera graft, the use
OF the actual newspaper account of the
death OF Spanish politician gave .
fresh punch to the fraud
But they didn't turn the tr,cL
Senorita Herera's photograph was not
pretty enough to blind any mans eyes
| 20 the mercenary issue which wa
woven th.ouoh her last letter."
