Federal Road Bill

Among the measures awaiting action
in Congress is that which is called the
federal aid bill for the promotion OF
good road, works in the States. 1t has
already passed the Senate, and its ap-
proval by the House will put it in ope-
ration. By means Of the federal aid
granted through this measure road con-
struction now under way in the States,
which is subject to early suspension
through lack of funds, can be con-
tinued. In the State of Maryland. fol-
example, the funds will not suffice fol
continuance of the pending road works
for many days longer. If the fedora
aid bill does not become law, and the
Government funds are not thereby
made available, it will be necessary tt
Law off many thousands of men in Mary
land. And what is true in Maryland
applies also to many other States. II
view of the prevalence Of unemploy
ment it is likely that Congress will giv'
prompt attention to this legislation.

Only recently a youth appeared
at the office Of the captain OF police
In South Bend. Apparently he had
seen better days. The earmarks Of
refinement were very obvious, yet
the battle with life had defeated
him. He was a bum" seeking
shelter from the rain that was fall
ing in torrents outside. He was
peniless, dependent and his inter-
est in life had ceased. He was
pitiable.
He approached the desk sergeant
and nervously asked for a nights

geant rather gruffy inquired. for
even the usual good disposition Of
this police officer is sometimes i'm

inquired. Surely. your father and

wouldn't they?"
The lads head dropped. Tears

And then the young man broke
out into the story Of his life and
how he had left the doorstep OF his
father, yowing never TO return.
He had been just an ordinary boy.
according TO his story, and as all
young men do, had sometimes step

and to conceal their own, had made
him the target Of their conversations

Dear Annie Laurie:

Dear Annie Laurie:
I have known a young man for
two years. and think the world and
all OF him. 1 would do almost any
thing on earth for him. He was
away some time ago. and he met
some girls while away. no doubt
Since he has come back he does not
seem TO care as much for me as he
did before.
He used TO take me out in the ma
chine and talk about the nice homes
we would see, and say how happy he
would be with me in one Of those
homes. He used 10 tell me about his
business. but he never speaks Of
anything any more, and never seems
20 want 20 talk with me even. We
never quarreued with each other.
What do YOU suppose is wrong
with him? He never speaks OF me to
anyone. and I never speak OF him TO
anyone. When we meet he always
tells me he has 20 work. and this is
the reason I never see him any Of
tener.
What would you do II you thought
OF no one else on earth but one boy
and he never paid much attention TO
you Ike he used to?
LOST LOVE.
Lost Love;-I'n tell you what I'd
do. my dear. I'd so away with all my
girl friends and all my boy friends
and enjoy their good times. I'd make
myself so agreeable and be such a

ADVICE TO LOVELORN
By Annie Laurie

Dear Anne:-
l met a young man in September,
1919. We had a long talk when we
met. and we each thought that the
other was very disagreeable. We
went with each other afterward, and
became very fond Of each other. We
live in different towns. We became
engaged on my 18th birthday, in No
vember. 1920. He said il would be
best for Us to wait until / was 49, He
writes me most Of the time. the most
wonderful love letters. then for two
or three days at a time he will write
me short letters. saying all girls are
not 10 be trusted. but he invariably
adds that boys are the same way.
We are 10 be married in the summer
OF 1922, he says. I love this young
man dearly. Do you suppose he
loves me?
This young man doesn't go with
other girls much. though he cores
ponds with other girls some. But at
times, say about a week every month
or so. he Will have several dates dur
ing that week. He seems TO be hon
est, and seems always willing TO do
the right thing. l can't tell whether
he loves me or not.
Do you think he loves me, and
would you advise me 10 let things go
on as they are? 1 have dates off and
on now and then with other boys, as
this boy lives in another town.
VERY MUCH PERTURBED.
Very Much Perturbation are
engaged TO him. so why do you go
with other young men II you love
him. Why not devote all your
thoughts TO him, and spend your
spare time getting things ready for
your trOusSeau, instead Of going with
other boys? This would show him
how true you are. and might make
him change his opinion about all
girls being untrustwOrthy.

but his father only believed he was
trying 10 deceive him. Then fol-
low a rather stormy scene IN which
the mother helplessly tried TO defend
her offspring. but was forced 10
give way 20 the will OF her husband.
The boy. in his anger. had left the
home with the warning that he
would never return.
After listening 20 this tale OF woe.
the sergeant ordered the boy given
shelter and as he was being led into
the cell room. advised him TO take
the first freight home" the next
morning and 10 attempt a reconcil-
iation with his parents. And the
boy gave promise.
Little has been said and little has
been written as TO why boys leave
home" Volumes on this subject
have been presented TO the public
as TO why girls desert their domicile
but the young men have been al
ways sighted.
AS a reason for this, authors have
oft times said that II was the spirit
OF adventure that lei the boys away
from the apron strings OF their
mother" Perhaps this is true in
many caseo. hut there are some
where other reasons might be as
signed.
Judge O'Donnell. in the probate
court in the city Of Toledo, recently
said while passing sentence on a
hayward lad. that 'gissping neigh
bors cause family rows and family
rows make buns out OF boys" And
the magistrate was right.
BLAME "WAGGING
TONGUES"
There are numerous cases on rec
ord in the Juvenile and higher courts
OF Indiana where boys who have
been committed 10 prison have as
signed their downfall TO the ''wag-
ging tongues" of the neighbors. And
OF course. the parents must accept
part of the blame, for it was they
who had accepted the story Of their
friends" rather than 10 believe that
told by their own son.
II is the family row that drives
the majority OF young men from
their nOuleS. lleN 10 nut want ~
be the cause of worry TO their par
ents and would rather go out to
make their own way among strang
ers. And while attempting TO make
their living, they oftimes fall into
the companionship Of the dishonest,
and many times are thrown into the
dark cells Of the Jails or sent to the
gallows for their acts.
During the recent crime wave
which swept over the entire country.
the police commissioner of a large
eastern city ordered that all sus-
poets who were In the jails be
brought before him. At that time
the jail was crowded and when the
official presented himself, there were
more than 900 crowded into the ex-
animation room.
