s.. l It never can be compared to any other tragedies of modern times; it has none of their motives, passions or purposes.
 Challenges Explanation.
 It beggars all comparisons and chal- fenges all explanation as judged by the records of modern crime. It is new kind of a murder with new kind of a cause. That cause is to be found in the modern mentality and modern freedom of youth, with the misunderstanding between parenthood, and childhood. Thus we have the modern misdirection of youth.
 Do you not then see that this is more than the story. of a murder?
 It is the story of modern youth, the story of modern parents, the story of modern education, even though it be an extreme and exceptional episode in the stream of modern life.

MY FAVORITE STORIES
BY IRWIN COBB

During the recent hard times-which some
people insist are still present-Wall Street
gentlemen were specially concerned. Ny
own observation has been that as a class,
Wall Street gentlemen get frightened over
money matters sooner than anybody else and
stay frightened longer than anybody does,
and are more excessively frightened while
they frightened, than the run of us are.
Be that as it may, there a period
; when the average stockbroker tried to look
confident and really was scared stiff A
member of the broking fraternity was walk
ing through a quiet sidestreet one night,
and even under the cover of the friendly
darkness still endesyoring to counterfeit a
fine air of prosperity and optimism, when
two lusty footpads called upon him to stand
and deliver, or word to that effect.
Instead OF complying. the lone pedestrian
flew at them He fought like tiger, with
fists. feet and teeth Both of them were
sorely battered before they succeeded in ham
mering him into insensbility.
Then, seeking recompense for their wounds,
they went through him. Tucked away at the
bottom of a fob pocket they discovered a
single, solitary dime-and not another cent
to reward them.
The one who had found the coin looked
in stricken admiration from the unconscious
form of their victim to his psl and Back
