BROADCASTS
BY LORA KELLY

They have q new name for EN- in
Keokuk, Ia. Back home on Main
street we always called them corner
l%oafers,' and had a corresponding
contempt. But now they are dubbed
"curbstone morons,'' and are drag
ged into Jail for their social errors
In speaking to young women without
the formality of an introduction.
The term moron" used by scien-
tidc uplifters to denote a certain de-
gree of feeble-mindedness, is not one
to be flung around carelessly. 1t is
a strictly technical word and should
be spoken only in such environment.
We used it inadvisedly the other
day, when one of our associates as
sured us that he could take his lit
tie old bus and peat that car up a
hill any day"
Be thai as it may, we are glad to
see that no parking space is allowed
for these curbstone morons and
hope the movement will not be con-
fined to the estimable limits of
Keokuk.
These pavements rovers are in
rather hard straits in towns where
they have adopted the p-olicewoman
plan.
An attempt to firt with a good
looking, %unescorted young woman
may result in her flashing a shiny
badge and blowing a whistle to sum-
mon official bluecoat help.
We did a "mashing" story in our
cub days, at the behest of a city edi-
tor. In our survey we found that no
male was immune to the flashing eye
and a come-hither smile. And there
were all sorts and conditions of mas
culinity abroad on that occasion.
We gathered material for about
two columns and got on beautifully
until we 'picked up" a handsome
reporter for a rival sheet who had
been sent out on a similar mission.
Introductions are always the best
policy. Your flirtee may turn out to
be a policewoman, or worse still, a
reporter who writes 0 up so ac-
|curately that your wife will know
you.

One Mother Says:
| have put away for my children
a collection of "Rainy Day Books
which l am always adding to. They
are brought out only on bad Satur-
days or Sundays when the children
are restless. These books are good
adventure and mystery stories, by
such writer's as Collins and Poe,
stirring tales by Scott and such sto-
ries about real heroes as Whites
Boys Life of Daniel Boone" At
meal time we discuss the books they
have been reading. as | have care
fully read all of them before n so
the rainy dav passes quickly while
the young prisoners of the weather
sned it in a land of adventure and
romance.

times at night to quiet and cover
her. Is that natural?
She gets twenty drops Of pine oil
in orange juice every day. Are there
other cereals besides cream OF

can have?
Answer
II is quite plain that the child is
hungry all the time. and very, very
much underweight for her age. 1t
is useless to continue her nursing at
this age, when your milk is appar-
emily so insufficient. Tho sensible
thing To do is to give the bottle each
feeding, in addition to the cereal and
fruit.

of milk, and for the whole day pre-

Another illustration of how little children regard the
rights of their parents you may see in their nonchalance
with which young mothers turn over their children to their
own mothers.
When Sally wants to go to a bridge luncheon or Maud
wants to take a trip, they dump the children down on Mother.
When ClarabelLwants to go to Europe for the summer, she
doesn't worry at all as to what to do with the children. She
leaves them, with a thousand instructions as to diet and
clothes, and manners and morals, with Mother. So that in
innumerable families Mother becomes nothing but a sort
Of universal nursemaid.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-12-19

1t is a curious thing. in a way a beautiful thing, and it's a selaa
thing that children rarely ever think of their parents as human beings

Children think of their fathers and mothers as the source
ing justice. But it seldom occurs to them that their parents
are men and women. in addition to being parents; that they
have the same preferences and long for the same pleasures
as other people. and that they have a few rights that even
their children should respect.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-12-19

of course, a small child unquestionably takes for granted that all
that its parents give and do for it. 1t is merely the order If nature that
Mother should appear at its bed with the cup of water for which it cries
out in the night; that Mother should clean up the dirt it brings into III
house and spend hours over tho stove cooking the things IL likes to eat;
and that Father should work while it plays and go shabby to give 1t fine
clothes. tEs

A" they grow up, children continue to demand more and
more of their parents. They bleed Father and Mother white
for the things they want. They are not Intentionally cruel,
but they will take the last dollar they can wiring out of the
family purse without ever once thinking that Father and
Mother might like to spend some of the money they earn
ON themselves and in gratifying their own desires.

Perhaps. If they realized that parents had rights more young people
would consider how their marriages would react OIL their parents and
many a dsgrunted wife would carry on with a marriage that wasn't per-

Apparently, it never crosses the mind of these despicabie young peO
pie that after they are old enough to support themselves the have me-
right to sponge upon their parents, and graft their living off them. STU

And. curious1y enough, even after they have grown to mans and we
mans estate great majority of people still hold to this point of view about
their parents. IN regulating their lives, they do not take their parents

OF course, the most fragrant illustration Of this Is found
in the loafer sons and daughters who let their old parents

things that could be done to remedy
the motor car parking question in

He points to the fact that in Akron

the lower floors designed as garage
space for tho tenants. This Is one of
the first steps taken in this direction.
Both the downtown parking ques-
