the old English club here. Among
the exhibits are some of the original
documents connected with the revo-
luton. These include Lenln's papers
filled out by himself as member Of
the Communist party.
In these papers Lenin gives the
date of his entering the Communist
party as 1893. He was accepted by
the founder of that party.
Lenin was arrested three times. In
1887, when seventeen years old, he
was sent out of Kazan and in 1895
he was sent to Siberia, where he re-
mained until 1897. He was arrested
again in 1900.
He has no religion, having been an
atheist since he was sixteen. He was
educated in gymnasium, finishing In
1887, and passed his examination In
law in university tKazan) In 1891
as extern. He described his profes-
sion as literature.
Lenin's income, as president Of peo-
ple's commissars, that Is, prime min
lister Of Russia, was given In January,
1921, as 1880 rubles month, and In
August, as 27OO0 rubles. Those
amounts at those times were equiva-
lent to 81 or So.

Parents Turn Son

"Yes, sir, do was the answer.
"You know that this offense Is pun

Lynch.
"Yes, sir, and l think he knows
that, too answered the father, in
dicating his son.
The Mother Near Her Son.
While the papers were being pre-
pared the father from time to time
readily answered questions as to his
sons acts. The mother, resting her
head against her hand, sat within
reaching distance of her son. The
father did all the talking.
The parents and an older son,
Ralph, trailed into the court room be-
hind their other boy.
The accused boy stood before Judge
Buckner as the information was read.
His father, mother and brother took
seats inside the railing.
Are you guilty or not guilty?'
asked Lynch.
"Tm guilty." he answered.
Lynch addressed the court.
Before you assess punishment" he
said, II want to direct the courts at

previous wrongdoings. The youth ad-

Judge Buckner indicated that an

Kansas City.-Where is the limit to
parental sympathy for wayward
child? When may the law be sum
moned into the sacredness of the fam
lily hearthside and told:
Here Is our boy, to whom we can
not be father and mother He is our
youngest and we have failed. Take
him."
Ihat limit was reached recently by
Mr.. and Mrs. Russell w. Branson of
Kansas City. as they saw III They are
middle-aged. They have worked to-
gether for years, reared two children
to maturity. And their baby, now
nineteen years old must serve two
years In the States prison.
The decision was made after the
wells of tears of the gray-haired
mother had dried up, after the father
had spent $4,000 to bring his son
back TO straight ways OF living and
after the family had suffered disgrace
before their friends. 1t was the end.
Mother and father had talked the
matter over. There was only one way.
A few nights ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Branson were sitting at their dinner
table A third plate with clean
napkin was on one side. The tele-
phone rang:
Yes the father answered.
Its Claire, dad. I'm in jail at
police headquarters and want you
to come and get me. They say you

have made up our minds. | told you

that II was the last; and you must
get help from the ones you have
chosen as your friends"
The receiver was snapped back on
the hook and Mr.. Branson went back
to the table.

There were tears in Mrs. Bran.
sons eyes. She said later she had
wept all she could foi her boy.
Almost from infancy Claire had
been headstrong. At first he was
called mischlevous. Then neighbors in
Cbtiohct' hull., where tne FAMILY
formerly lived, began to call him by
harsher name. AS the youth grew
to manhood. the pranks soon devel
oped into "scrapes." There were for
geries of the elder Branson's name 10
checks. There we're times when the
youth would remain away from home
for days ut time. There were times
when the worried parents were the
only friends the boy had. But through
II all Claire kept up his role of fool
And he played the string to the end
