Pastor Says Every Church

BALTIMORE, Aug. 15.-The art
Of love making should be taught in
every Sunday School, and every
church should have a secluded
nook in which young people could
court under limited and competent
chaperonage.
This is the opinion the Rev. D.
L. M. Zimmerman, pastor OF the
Christ Lutheran Church, expressed
discussing the future of the youth
and their ability to make home and
conditions that will survive tie
complexities Of modern life. Com
menting on divorces and scandals
Of matrimony, the pastor said:
"Girls today are inherently as
good as their grandmothers. It is
the lack of emphasis of the essen
tial facts Of life by those in au-
thority, which permits conditions
to result as they do. Boys and
girls should be given sex instruc-
ton, not only by the Church, but
in the homes, in the schools and
everywhere.
Young people should have oppor.
tunity for wholesome association
with the opposite sex, and some
place where they could be taught
the real meaning and responsibilities
Of courtship.
''These matters are far too lightly
considered. Girls rush into mar.
riage without the faintest concep.
ton OF what they are doing. II

JERSEY CITY, Aug. 15.-My ad-
vice to q young man who has saved
his first 81 1000 is to invest it in
good building and loan association.
Then get married.
But let him be sure to pick out
the right girl and the building and
loan association.
Then he should pick out a good
location, and build a home with
money borrowed from the associa-
ton.
II he does not wish to get mar
ried, let him put his money into
Liberty bonds or other borrowed
securities. There is no safer invest
ment on earth.

I made an initial payment with
that sum and then borrowed money

in time paid off my loan from

strongly advise any young man
not to put money into real estate,
as q speculation. There is too
much fluctuation in values Of prop
erty of that kind.
To a young, man who has his
first $1,000 would say: Don't
speculate. Don't take chances with
your money.
A very successful banker once
said, in speaking Of the investment
of money:
Never invest your money in
business you don't know any
thing about.
Never put your money into
something where. If you cannot alb.
solutely control your capital, at
least be in a position where you
can have something to say as to
how 1t shall be invested.

BOOTLEG MAY BE USED
TO KILL OFF MOSQUITOES

TUCKERTON. N. J., Aug. 15.-
Ccnfiscated bootleg liquors might
be used effectively to exterminate
mosquitoes in the nearby sections
of New Jersey, according to ex-
perts, who say that the pests are
about as bad as ever this summer.
Those communities are more or
less immune from the "skeeters"
where systematic work has been
done in ditching the meadows and
sprinkling stagnant pools with
crude Oil.
Instead of pouring the rum down
the city and town sewers, natives
say that the blistering liquid would
be even more effective than oil in
discriminating the millions of wig
glers by pouring it over the mos
quito-breeding pools.
