HELPS FOR MOTHERS
By EMILE HOFFMAN

In an uptown street janitor was having an altercation with a dozen kiddies the other day, the cause of which was very apparent. The steps and the front wall of the house was covered with chalk marks.
 The irate janitor remonstrated with one of the mothers, who hap pened to come out of the house. As she walked away she remarked to her companion: "Oh. that janitor is a perfect crank. He won't let the shildren have any fun" This is the attitude of many mothers.
 On one block up in the Bronx populated by Rooseveltian families, it is common sight to see the en- tire pavement throughout the street covered with drawings and writing in crayon. It is a busy thorough fare swarming with youthful artists and decorators energetically ply ing their art until the street is besmirched. Steps and front doors are included in these recommendations wherever this can surreptitiously be accomplished. Mothers look on and smile.
 It is these children who when grown up carve initials on park trees and in public places. who de- face fences, scrawl on walls and in different ways mutilate other peo- ple's property.
 To regard the property of others should be impressed upon children while very young Teach them that it is up to the public to protect pub lie property and that they are, in- dividually, part of the public, there fore the preservation of the play grounds and the school buildings, with their equipments, is decidedly up to them.
 Do not permit them to deface pub lie walks nor strew papers in the parks. Carelessness in this respect should not go unreproved.

are offered by only few states
the flow of workers will be to
those states, depriving other
states of their needed labor re-
quirements, leaders of the Fed
Grafton hold. Therefore to be
practical, all states must enact
old age pensions legislation, the
contend.
Opponents of the proposed leg
islation cite Denmark, Great Brit
ain and France to support their
claims. In Denmark the increaS
in pensioners between 1910 ana
1920 was 81 per cent compared
with a population increase of
only ~ 1-2 per cent. Britain
and France have had similar eX-
periences, they hold.
The very foundation of union
ism is threatened by state or
government pensions, one leader
said. The union principle, he
said. is for the worker to earn
wages sufficient to enable him to
save enough for the support OF
his family when old age forces
retirement from labor.

SULPHUR is BEST
TO CLEAR UP UGLY
BROKEN OUT SKIN

Any breaking out of skin ir-
ritation on face, neck or body is
overcome quickest by applying
Mentho- Sulphur, says noted
skin specialist. Because of its
germ destroying properties, moth
ing has ever been found to take
the place of this sulphur prepa-
ration that instantly brings ease
from the itching, burning and
irritation.
Mentho-Sulphur heals eczema
right up, leaving the skin clear
and smooth. II seldom fails to
relieve the torment or disfgure-
ment. A little jar of Rowles
Mentho- Sulphur may be obtain
ed at any drug store. 1t is used
like cold cream.-Adv.
