into counsel concerning bad boys
There are bad boys. How bad
they are. I should not Ike 10 tell.
They have in them badness that
runs out Of then mouths in vie
words and or 81 their fInger-ends
where they scraw. lewd pictures and
sentences on fences and walls.
They are guilty Of hold-ups and
innumerable crimes. Before the war
the English reviews contained artl-
cles on the startling increase Of juye-
nile delinquency. and now that de-
linqeUncy Is still apparently on the
increase they are charging it 70 the
war. There are Boys that are bad,
criminaLy bad.
But all good boys are bad some
times And It Is these good boys

Guiding my self in boyhood, fave HAD
periods Of being less good than usual

A thing parents aeeS to remember
is that not all bosterousness 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.

ONE would think that these help
less sufferers would be given
the same character of treatment
which private citizens able to pay
the highest fees could obtain.
But such is not the case. Far
from it. Read what Dr. N. A. Patti
son, supervisor of the medical serv-
ice Of the National tuberculosis As
soeiation, told the Senate committee
about the way the tubercular sol
diers are being treated. DR. Pat
tison gave his testimony following a
visit to so hospitals in Al states.
The facilities in these hospitals,
Or. Pattison told the committee,
"are grossly inadequate" Most of
the hospitals now available for ex-
service men suffering with tubercu-
losis are wholly unsuited" for use
and wholly unadapted to the care
Of tuberculosis patients.
To large extent the government
is utilizing old base hospitals, made
UP Of flimsy, inflammable struc-
ture. A particularly bad example
is the hospital at Greenville, S. C,
which the doctor described as made
up Of 'wretched deteriorated shacks,
Involving a terrific fire hazard" .
! If it caught fire. in. high wind,
the whole hospital would soon be
burned to the ground probably with
heavy loss of life
Az many of the hospitals there is

OkMULGEE PLAYERS
THREATEN STRIKE
MANAGER DISMISSED

Okmulgee, Okla.-Action of the
directors of the Okmulgee baseball
club of the Western Association in
cancelling the contract of Harry
Womack, manager, Saturday does
not mean that Okmulgee will have
no representative in the Western
Association this year.
Immediately after Womack had
been notified that his services were
terminated, the directors appointed
Edward Klepfer manager of the
team.
Directors gave no statement to
explain their action but it was said
that the reason for Womack's dis
missal was based on dissatisfaction
with the manner in which he has
conducted the affairs of the team
during the training seasons.
About 20 players who are under
contract signed petition asking
that the action Of the directors be
reconsideyed. 1t was announced by
E. w. Ragsdale, secretary of the
association, that meeting will be
held at which they will be given
a hearing.
Players who are under contract
to the Okmulgee club were told
that their threats to strike" would
mean that they would be barred
from playing professional baseball
and there is said to be no possibil-
ity of their refusing to play under
another manager other than Wo-
mack.

EASY RULES FOR
PUNCTUATION
New Universities Dictionary Pre-
sents Subject Instructive'y

One of the first Things that must
be learned by the young man or
woman who sets out to become a
thoroughly competent stenographer,
is the proper use of punctuation.
Morris w. Croll, Phi. D., of the De-
partment of English, Princeto Uni
versity, has contributed an interest
ing and highly instructive chapter
on this subject in The New Univer'
stiles Dictionary being offered to
the readers of this paper.
Professor Croll explains how the
number of punctuation marks in
common use has gradually increased
with the development of the art of
printing. Through the use of these
signs the meaning of printed or
written discourse is rendered clearer
to the eye of the reader. How and
when to use each of the twelve
marks now employed is fully ex
planned by Professor Croll, and the
rules he lays down can be easily
learned
The remarkable success which has
ATTENDED this dictionary Offer
shows that the people of this city
appreciate the opportunity given
them to secure at a nominal cost
such valuable educational work.
