TUBBY, CUTE BOY,
DOWN ON WORLD
Weeks of Saving Go for
Naught When Pal

When a boy is short and fat and
pink checked. and red-headed. and
quick-tempered. the young ladies de-
scribe him in three words. Isn't he
cute"
when Tubby Raymond got a job
in a grocery for the summer. the
brown-eyed young beauty who han

ter aptly tagged him with the stand
ard three-worc label He was d
likeable fellow. She was kind-heart-
ed. and didn't make fun Of him.
When Tubby found a person who
refrained from laughing in his face
and at his expense he ranked that
one very highly on his select list Of
friends Within two weeks Miss
Livingston's name headed the list.
Tubby walked home with her every
evening. They were a very agree
able pair. indeed.
A Suit and n Bike.
Privately Tubby nursed two ambi-
tions. II was these that had driven
him TO a summer of labor. He want
ed first a bicycle and second a suit
of clothes with long pants Both
were denied him at home until.
driven to desperation by his persist
ence. his mother had declared that
he could have them if he would
make the money TO buy them him
self. This is what Tubby. with great
reluctance. had finally decided to do.
A. .-o, ,r h b,S mod, frfapdS Wis D,
Miss Livingston he concluded IL was
the wisest decision he had ever
made. Tubby decided that long
pants were just what he needed to
make himself worthy of his friend
Two weeks passed. and Tubby's
pocketbook grew fatter. He knew
where he could get a bicycle for $50.
He thought he could get a suit for
SEQ. II was the proudest moment of
his life when ne put $40 in cash in
mis- pocket and started down town.
Tubbyis Disappointnent.
But somehow hard luck dogs the
footsteps of all boys of the Isn't he
cute?" type There were suits for
$50, but not the kind to be worn in
the company of young ladies like
Miss Livingston. When Tubby went
home he had a $40 suit and a lump
of disappointment instead of a BIZ
cycle. But he arranged to go to the
movies that evening with Miss Liv-
ingston? He would wear his long
pants for the first time.
He felt uncomfortable enough at
the beginning anyway. Suddenly all
grew black. He heard Miss Living
ston saying:
"Tubby. what in the world did
you get those long pants for? /
thought you looked so cute in that
other suit. Now you've spoiled IL
all"

BOYS OUTGENERAL.
MEN BY INVITING
Them TO BANQUET
Achievement Youths Who
Lack Cash Financed -
BY Banks.

Two Thousands boys of one town
reported their achievements.
One hundred and sixty boys were
entered out Of q total OF about 2 oct
The survey and the selecting Of
boys from their report cards was
conducted by the Rotary cub.
The men Of the Rotary planned 20
give the boys q dinner.
Each man was 20 invite . boy ss
his guest.
But the boys beat the men 20 A.
The First Achievement Bow, held
q meeting and elected a committee
to arrange for a regular BANQUET 20
be held at one Of the hotels. =
Then each boy got busy ana in-
vited man TO be his guest. -
About 30 OF the boys did not have
the 80 in cash with which 20 nav for
the dinner for themselves s,o
guests.
But this was easily arranged. as
these achievement boys discovered
their credit was good at one OF the
banks.
Regular 80 and so day notes wsr.
given, and the boys who were TEN.
porsrily short OF funds were enabled
TO secure cash for their banquet.
There were not enough boys 20 in
Vite all the men who wanted 20 at
tend this banquet
The boys entertained. rave
speeches, thanked the men for their
interest and then each boy told his
guest about the things he was doing,
and each guest told the boy sitting
by his side what he was doing and
what ne did when he was a boy.
One man said il was the greatest
banquet he ever attended. He didn't
know whether they were all men or
all boys.
The boys OF Binghamton, n. Y
for that was the city-who were for
tunate enough to be called achIevers
started in, and the schools got into
the game.
The superintendent OF schools
DaniFh Kelly. was a big man and
also = big boy.
He understood that the boy who
does things outside Of school Is a
good citizen. so now in the Bing-
hsmton public schools the pupils re-
port cards which signify their stand
-ng in schools have three depart
ments - Education. citizenship and
health
Pretty good kind OF a school sys-

JUDGE EXPLAINS
GROUPING OF BOYS
Many Listed More Than
One Achievement and
Caused Confusion.

At the meeting of 500 of the 1.l2s
achievement boys held in the Cen
trail High School Auditorium Judge
Brown explained to the boys about
their grouping.
He said that the committee found
many cards which recited two or
more achievements. for instance:
IT play the violin in our school
orchestra.
Il built a boat which will hold
two boys"
II am raising thirty chickens"
In cases like this. the first
achievement was counted in classi-
flying. So this boy was out under
music.
Perhaps this boy would rather be
with the boat builders. or the poul-
try raisers. To the 500 boys at the
meeting, choice was given them to
join the group they desired.
Each group then elected a chief
inspector for that particular work
in which they were interested. The
names of all boys belonging to that
group were given to the inspector.
Every isste of The Boys Daily
Herald will carry the names of the
inspectors OF eaCn group ana all
first Americans should send in their
names to the inspectors of the group
they wish to join.
1t was also explained to the boys
that of the 1000 achievement re-
ports sent in many outside of the
l,12s allowed may be achievement
boys who did not report correctly
because they did not understand
fully what was meant by achieve
ment.
In this daily is printed a first
American blank achievement report.
Any boy in Washington who did not
receive a FIRST American member
ship card can make out a new report
and send II in care Boys Daily
Herald and II will be referred to
Mr.. Charles Demonet. the adult
chief counselor. and to the inspec-
tor OF tire group to which the
chievement beings.
Any boy who wants to start in
doing something should fill out a
new blank telling what he expects
to do and send II in to The Boys
Daily Herald and II will be entered
and referred to the proper inspector.

One mother said that her boy was
a very good boy and did not belong
to the gang.
The boy also said that he was
good boy.
Yne other boys said nothing.
oh! yes, the leader called Red
Top. did say that this good boy was
always hanging around with the
bunch" but that he never did
nothing much"
II am glad that you are a good
boy" / said to him. Now tell me
some of the good things that you
have DONE"
.The boy looked at me and then
at his mother and she finally said:
John goes to Sunday School

Red Top said this.
John, look out of the window
and see that telephone pole" 1
said.
John looked.
'Is that a good pole?" l asked.

yet is it John. 1t just stands

"'Cause l don't do anything but

Would you call Red Top and
these other boys good for nothing
boys?" 1 asked John.
why no." he said.
Would you call them good boys?''
John was puzzled. He knew they
were in the juvenile court for COM
mitting offenses. He knew that
these boys had done things which
were not right. But John also knew
that he had done things which were
wrong. He had called himself a
good boy. Why not call them good
boys?
yes. they are good boys" said
John.
Then Johns mother interrupted
and said. "'I think my son does not
understand you, judge. You con-
fuse him. OF course these are bad
boys or they would not be in the
judges court for doing bad things"
Johns mother said to him.
But you said John was a good
| boy. giving one reason that he went
to Sunday School. Red Top also
goes to Sunday School," replied.
Then it is just that much good,

stick to the gang. They are good

bad things. just like do at home
sometimes. ] wasn't in this scrape
with them. but I might be in an
other one sometimes, for I expect to
go right on seeing them and play
ing with them. suppose"
Then it was decided that Red Top
could take his gang and lead them
into being good for something.
They knew how to do things, in
fact they were before me for doing
things.
Red Top and his gang and John
and his mother and some other
mothers understood that day that
there were no thoroughly bad boys.
and that the good for nothing boy
was very scarce. that most every
boy was good most of the time and
that in his off-time when he wanted
to do things. he would rather do
worth while things than the worth
less things.
This is the kind of a juvenile
court hearing we had that day.
Each boy wrote something worth
while he could do in the next thirty
days.
These were put into envelopes and
sesSed and each boy write his name
