Those Sex
Problems

There may have been . time.
In the Puritsnic smailtown past
Of this nation. when the young
were brought up In ignorance Of
the eternal mysteries that have
10 do with generation Of the spe-
ei-s. Probably there never was
such . time The young usually
know n number Of things that
VIC suppose are hidden from them
Hut certainly the day has passed
when any parent may hope 10
keep a child in ignorance Of these
fundamental forces that lie at the
root Of all life.
Tho parent may choose between
two courses: to enlighten the boy
and Eiri ssn~iy. modestiy. prop
eriy: TO tell them the big truths
Of creation In the home atmo.-
ph~rr. and 10 incuicate . love Of
deccney and venerAtion for pur-
lily; or the parent may dodge
these subjects and allow his chill.

from their fellows. chiefly from
the pr~cocious and evilminded
youngsters that are TO be found
In every school
When high school dances arr
barred by secret vote Of the male
students 10 girls who wear cor.
sets, evidently young America has
not spent In complete innocence
ia pre-puberty years.
And such q barrieade has been

least one big Western city. Tho

the boys and girls. the young men

There Is no working girl prob
lem Of this sort. shop girls.
young women who have to work
with men eight hours day
whether they feel like u or not.
these women early discover few
vital truths. And as their whole
future Is bound MP in their pres
ent conduct. and as their hope Of
a home Is dependent on their de-
cency. there Is but one conclusion
10 the matter: working girls see
with open eyes and keep them
selves whole Of heart and Of body.
The girls from good" hom~..
on the contrary. too often have
no understanding Of life. or its

and temptation, and without stay
or anchor they too frequently

ireiand's success In resisting
British rule was something new
In history. Ireland had no army
in the ordinary sense Of the term
Her resistance was Of the invis-
ibIe, unseen sort. There was fight

Ne. when Great Britain finally
became convinced that the great
mass Of the Irish people were
with the forces Of resistance. she
treated with the invisible govern
ment as with an equal. and gave
Ireland her liberty.
And now Great Britain has an
other revolt OF . somewhat sim.

India In fact, she has had II for
several years, but the success Of
the Irish must have given the
findus that courage which Is now
seen mxnifesting itself anew.

sive resistance only. but his fol-

lie sentiment in the world has
now reached n plane OF develop
ment which will not allow any
government to function unless
the people not only consent, but
actually cooperate with II.
Great Britain could not adopt
a tyranny which would stamp out
this passive resistance. Her peo-
pie would not permit II. Unless
this marks n mere temporary
spasm Of sentiment In India IL
puts the British in an impossible
position. They can meet force.
They cannot meet the intangible.
How can they meet n boycott
against the government?
Whether India can govern her
self Is a grave question; but she
seems In fair way TO have the
chance to try.

 In their protest the latter poin; out that various clubs are but clandes- tine cabarets and furthermore the city funds do not receive any percent age on the receipts of those es:a5- iishments. whereas the Montmartre establishments have to pay heavy duty.
 Finally. they ask 70 be allowed to remain open all night and in so do- ing give work to hundreds of un- employed walters. or that the other downtown places be limited as to hours and heavily taxed.
