dividuals on earth. He quotes their
sayings and considers their opinions
final with the preference given to the
maternal wisdom.
BY the time he Is old enough to

the matter and decides that mother
isn't as smart as he thought she was,
but father knows good many things
and cites to himself their respective
opinions on swimmin'. fishin, and

About the time he sneaks dads

ments a little with the fuzz on his
chin he concludes father is we'll

knows less than nothing.
Five years later he pities the ig-
ncrance of the whole world and
especially that of the old folks.
At thirty, about the time he wants
to borrow money from dad TO cover
some of his financial mistakes he
thinks fathers and mothers advice
is pretty good sometimes.
Ten or fifteen years later when he
has a lad or two of his own, the old
boy begins to wonder Why he never
appreciated the old folks.

dead, he idealizes them as the great
