BAD BOYS.

BAD BOYS.
DARENTS have been in trouble
ever since Adam and Eve raised
Cain. That is an old pun but it is
pertinent. | am frequently called
into counsel concerning bad boys.
There are bad boys. How bad
they are, l should not like to tell.
They have in them badness that
runs out Of their mouths in vile
words and out of their finger-ends
where they scrawl lewd pictures and
sentences on fences and walls.
They are guilty of hold-ups and
innumerable crimes. Before the war
the English reviews contained arti-
cles on the startling increase of juve-
nile delinquency, and now that de-
linqeuncy is still apparently on the
increase they are charging it to the
war. There are boys that are bad,
criminally bad.
But all good boys are bad some
times. And it is these good boys
who are sometimes bad of whom |
am now writing particularly.
| have sons. You may ask any
of the neighbors about them, and
you will be told they were good boys
and are now good men. l have not
made a failure of my boys. They
have a good mother. And their faith.
er has never been Indifferent toward
them.
My boys have always been good
boys. But even good boys, inelud,
ing my own boys, and perhaps in
GLIDING my self in boyhood, Rave had
periods of being less good than usual.
1t is not necessary to take too
sriously the naughty pranks of
habitually good boys. Some of
those things would better pass I'M
noticed. Some of them should be
corrected promptly, by means of a
frank and loving conference. 1t
pays to be frank with a boy.
A thing parents need to remember
is that not all boisterousness and
forgetfulness and rudeness is DELHI
| erately bad. Nearly all the good
men in the world had periods of
restlessness and rudeness and oc-
casions for anxiety to parents. That
is one part of the processes of max
| ing good men.

A few times, when a little girl,

The afternoon sun, playing on her
hair, spun a web of gold. Against

were beautifully slim.
Though she spoke to me, Mrs
Ames was smiling at a good-looking

"Goodby-Li," he was saying
Then his lips brushed her hair and

WHEN II Is considered that the war
ended nearly three years ago,
it seems incredible that the people
and government of these great Unit
ed States continue to be as criminal
ly negligent as they are in their
treatment of sick and disabled sol
diers.
As fact piles up fact, proving be-
yond the slightest question that the
situation is unspeakably bad, one can
only marvel that the officers of the
American Legion have been as pa
tent and restrained as they have.
The testimony brought out by the
Senate Committee on Soldiers Re
lief since it began its hearings, sew
eral weeks ago, should bring the
blush of shame to every government
official directly or indirectly respon-
sibe.
Unfortunately the whole matter is
in such chaotic condition that UP
to now it seems impossible to fz
the responsibility.
The latest disclosures have to dc
with the way the thousands of poor
fellows who contracted tuberculosis
while fighting for their country
have been and are being treated.
