ST. PAUL MOTHERS
REGULATE 'CRUSHES'
Parents Draw Up Code of Rules
Aimed at Younger Sets
"Steadies"

Half a dozen brushes" may be all
right, but just one is one too many,
st. Paul mothers have decided in
drawing up terms of an armistice to
be offered to their sons and daugh-
tiers.
1t was decided at a meeting at the
home of Mrs. Charles Weyerhaeuser
that a code of rules should be drawn
up that would be broad and reason
able enough to satisfy the flapper,
and strong enough to win the moth
er's endorsement. An organization
was formed, with Mrs. William j..
Dean as president, and Miss Sarah
Converse as vice president and Mrs.
James c. Otis as secretary.
Suggested rules include:
Changing partners between dances.
A request by the hostess that boys
refrain from smoking at her parties,
as an example to the younger mem
bers of the set.
Closing hours for entertainments
IL D. m. for freshmen, and midnight
for seniors.
Giving the young male fapper" a
sense Of responsibility by expecting
him to help entertain guests instead
of simply sitting back to be admired.
Watching of movies" by parents,
getting together a list of suitable
ones and not broadcasting the others.
Anyway, the parents are going to
try it out and see how it works.

CHURCH URGED TO
OUTLAW ALL WAR
Resolution Will Be Presented to
Presbyterian Assembly
in May

MADISON, WIS, April IA reso-
luton against all war has been pre-
pared by pastors here for presenta-
ton to the general assembly Of the
church at Grand Rapids, Michigan,
May Is.
THE church cannot justify any
participation in war on the part OF
her various organizations or members,
or justify the use of her pulpits,
presses and buildings for war propa-
ganda," part of the proposed reso-
luton says.
Eleven members of the Madison
presbytery, covering q considerable
portion of the state, signed the pro-
posed edict. They argue that since
war is morally wrong, it cannot be
justified by the church on any pre-
text.
"Many Of the men in our churches
who loyalty supported the last war
and have come to see the fearful
devastation of that war, the millions
killed and mutilated, and the era OF
reckless extravaganza and debauch-
cry, have now come to such changed
mind they are ready to take a person
al stand against war" the resolution
says. The time has come for the
whole church to do likewise.
Whatever useful purpose war may
have served in the past in establish
ing freedom and overthrowing wrong,
the character of war has been
changed by modern conditions. 1t
now becomes an agency of disintegra-
ton so terrible that it has ceased to
be of any use and, if continued will
mean the end of civilization.
"War is no longer a combat be-
tween armies of professional soldiers
under careful rules, but is rather a
grim life and death struggle between
whole peoples, wherein little chill
dren, women and the aged are no
longer exempt. All the cherished
material and cultural resources of
civilization are modified and devas-
tated."
In addition to outlawing war on
the part of Presbyterians, the church
men propose to "direct educational
agencies of the church to prepare lit
erature and set apart at least one day
a year for definite instruction of
children and all members in accord
ance with this declaration"
Efforts will be made also to get
other denominations of the Protest
ant church to adopt similar edicts,
the Wisconsin ministers announce.

BARON MATSUI IN
LONG STATEMENT

Tokyo.-The gravity of the situation
arising out of the decision Of the
United States house of representatives
In regard TO the exclusion Of japanese
Immigrants Is clearly reflected In a
long statement issued by Baron Mat
sui, the foreign minister, to American
journalists.
Matsui states, In effect, that the ex-
cluslOn proposal coming after pro-
tracted efforts TO develop friendship
with the United States, is source Of
grave anxiety, and II seems to us we
are appealing against an action that
can only wound us and can bring little
satisfaction to you,' and I'VE desire
a provision by the United States for
the operation of the gentlemen's agree
ment."
The United States, he said, Is In a
position either to take arbitrary &C
ton or to behave with fine magnanim-
ity, setting an example to other ma
lions or inducing their resentment
Matsui concludes by saying: IF now
we get from you an experience of a
different character 1t will undo some
of that spirit of friendship and esteem
In which we have long been happy to
regard you. With a nation Of the
character of yours, regard for others
is, We believe, a consideration Of no
mean Importance"

HIGH-GRADE HOME TOWN
To Secure Fine Qualities In . Com
munity Something sssItes
Money 10 Needed.

The great trouble with American
life today Is the tendency to see ev-
erything from a money point Of view.
People are forever asking with regard
to every choice In life. VIII II pay-
They Judge education and occupation
and marriage and all ether relations
by the money point Of view. But there
Is q side Of life still that Is to some
extent and In some minds free from
this sordid standard. There II group
Of things to which We give the name
Of home. There are values In ones
home that cannot be measured by the
mere coarse yardstick Of money. so
people will often sacrifice money re-
wards in order to retain the home as
sociations that they prize.
The question Of developing what Is
called q good residential town depends
In a large measure on the requirement
Of this point Of view. You can't have
a good home town II you ask in re-
gard to everything you do, II 1t will
pay In terms Of money.
II the object for improving home
or a street or a neighborhood Is pure
ly to make money, a lot Of folks will
never cooperate In such efforts. II
the only motive for planting fine trees
and shrubbery Is that they make a
residence sell for more, a lot OF peo-
pie will never do II. In all probable
ity such efforts to beautify place
do pay in cash, but that motive alene
Is not sufficient.
To secure these fine qualities that
constitute n high-grade home town,
something besides money ambition has
to be devoted to this purpose. Peo-
pie must feel a love for their commun-
ity, an attachment to that spot that
they call home. There must be kind
of affection for the scene, a desire to
nurse IL and make 1t as lovable and
romantic and beautiful as possible.
Somehow civic beauty seems to have
its effect on the character Of the peo-
pie Of q town. IF you have dull
and drab looking town, you will draw
dull and drab people," said a lecturer
on civic topics.-Salem News.

The Big Brother Movement

dences, someone who can explains
away their fears and remove the be-
lief i'm limitations due to heredity or
environment. One hundred ana
eighty-five men can do much in o.
city like Minneapolis, but two or
three times the number of men, prop
erly equipped, could do more.
That more men are not active In
such work as this is due, no doubt,
to the fact that many men who are
fitted for such activity do not real-
lie that fact, and that they do ncs
appreciate the need. Nothing, In the
language Of the business man, pays o
greater dividend. There Is . qufek
responsiveness in the consciousness,
Of q boy. even if that boy is deiin-
quent. There is q thin but not inn
pervious armor which must be pierced
but the process is not difficult. The
right man can obtain the boys con-
fidence quickly. He can lose IL just
as quickly. But failure should not
be suggested. The delinquent boy 10
often condemned because of no in
herent fault. He has erred, perhaps,
because he has sought activity along
the only line which seems to him to-
be open.
The dividends promised will not

That is not the promise. But can
anyone imagine greater satisfaction
than that realized in the knowledge
that one young boy has been re-
deemed from moral delinquency and
made a self-respecting and law-sbid-
ing member of society by the timely
extending of brotherly help? Love
has unnumbered ways in which to re-
claim and restore the fallen. Perhaps.
it finds it's fullest exemplification In
the expression of brotherly love.

(From Christian Science Monitor)

An occasional inconspicuous item
in a newspaper tells of the interest
manifested in some community in the
big Brother" movement, which
means the pledging, quite informal
ly, of a number of men, young or old,
each to take a friendly but unofficial
part in reclaiming or restoring some
boy whose home training and sur
roundings have not given him a prop
err start. A recent item from Min
neapolis, Mimi, told of the enlist
ment of 1S5 active big Brothers" in
that city. Perhaps the number, while
comparatively large, should have been
many times greater. The secretary
of the Minneapolis branch of the or
ganization is authority for the state
ment that so per cent of the boys
who come in contact with the broth
erhood's activities are what are re-
ferred to as predelinquent.
One could hardly imagine a richer
field for properly directed brotherly
effort. In every city of the world
there are, no doubt, hundreds or
thousands of these unfortunate boys
whose activities and ambitions need
wise direction. They need someone
to whom they can give their conf

The Lost Stanzds
of "America"

Our national song. America" was
first publicly sung July 4, 1882, at
Park Street church, Boston, and orig
inally there were eight stanzas, four
that have become familiar to all and
four that for some reason have been
neglected. These four stanzas are
presented as follows:
Our glorious land today,
Meath education's sway,
Scars upward still,
It's halls of learning fair,
Whose bounties all may share,
Behold them everywhere,
On vale and hill.
They safeguard liberty,
The school shall ever be
Our nations pride;
No tyrant hand shall smite,
While with encircling light
All here are taught the right,
With truth allied.
Meath Heavens gracious will
The stars Of progress still
Our course do sway;
In unity sublime
To broader heights we climb,
Triumphant over Time.
God speeds our way.
Grand birthright of our sires,
Our altar and our fires
Keep we still pure!
Our starry flag unfurled,
The hope of all the world,
In peace and light impaired,
God held secure.
Just why these four stanzas have
been lost all these years is something
which no one seems to be able to ex-
plain. The Enterprise Is publishing
them so that our readers may clip
them and paste them In their song
books, so that they may be sung II

PAINT ADDS VALUE TO HOUSE
Ragged-Looklng Buildings on Farm
Makes Place Look Run Down
and Reduces Its Value.

The man who cares about the ap-
pearance Of his farm buildings will
be a liberal user Of paint. Painless
buildings make a farm look ragged
and run down. II a man goes out to
buy such place, he turns It down be-
cause Of the locks of the buildings.
He thinks the land Is poor or the farm
er would show prosperity by toning
up the buildings about the place with
paint.
The neighbors who pass will say that
surely the man Is making a failure or
he would not neglect his house and
barn as he does. SO, II the farmer
thinks anything Of how his buildings
look to the other fellow he will keep
them painted nicely.
Then paint saves the farmer money
In preserving the life Of the material
In the buildings. Implanted buildings
In most any climate soon show EVIL
dence Of decay. In a short time re-
pairs must be made at considerable
expense. The cost Of such repairs will
pay for the paint that should have
been used long ago. Some farmers
make It point to put a coat Of paint
on their buildings every three or four
years. In other words. they keep their
buildings looking like new most Of
the time. You could visit such places
any time In the year, and you would
not find the least sign Of naint falling
away.
A painting b 10 important the quail.
ity Of the paint used is worthy Of con-
sideration. Most all the cheap paints
are adulterated, and II will hardly pay
one to purchase them. Only the best
brands Of paint should be purchased
although the price Is higher. When
II Is applied It will not blister and
peel of.
