Especial to the Herald

Bristol, Aug, 2a, -- That 1t is necessary to flush out the sewer trunk lines of the Northside district every few days because of the ac- cumulations of mash" which threaten to clog up the passages, was learned today from several city officials, who discussed the rayagcs of the Nolstead act.
 The quantity of mash" has been increasing of late so that serious trouble can only be averted in the sewer system by having an employe watch the flushing places and clean them out at frequent intervals. Where all of the refuse material comes from is a guessing matter, although the police have succeeded in locating some of the places at various times, However. the over flow has not been cut down to any appreCiable extent, according 10 Che sewer departmental officials who

Youth Changes with World.

Q. DR.. Wilbur, what is the cause of
the tremendous change which has
come over modern youth?
A. Youth has changed because the
world has changed. We should not
worry so much over what ails our
youth as we should worry over what
ails our civilization. We have moved
faster in these last $50 years than
the entire world has moved in the
last 10000. ] can make that even
stronger. In the last 40 years we
have moved faster than all mankind
has moved in previous hundreds. We
live in a rapidly changing world with
slow moving schools and colleges. So.
no wonder youth has changed. Yet it
has suffered no more than adult life.
Most of us have cast aside our old
creeds and dogmas, and it is natural
that youth. should do the same. Fun
damentally, youth has not changed
except for the better. 1t has dis
carded some of our old conventions.
but still clings TO the best in the old
civilization and is creating better
standards in the new. / know what
| am talking about, for l am con-
stantly referring moral problems back
to our students for solution, and |
never fail to strike good, solid bed
rock. 1t works in our student govern
ment and also in our honor system.

Greater Change i'm Women.

Q. How has this change affected
young women?
a. 1t has affected them far more
than it has men. Before the war
woman was essentially home person.
Millions of women all oyer the coun-
try spent most of their lives in their
homes. Now they have suddenly be-
come ambulatory. Within a decade
the motion picture, the radio and the
marvellous distribution of the daily
press have brought the four corners
of the earth to the woman's home.
And what does not come to her she
goes out to get in her automobile. She
has suddenly become a woman of the
world.
q. Are you worried about the fu-
ture of our womenhood?
A. No. Women are better able to
adjust themselves than men. Change
the status of men as Suddenly and
there might be serious consequences
When | see woman, as / did the
other day, going off to Australia after
knowing a man for five months to
face new country and a new family
as his wife, then / am sure that
womankind can adjust itself to any
new condition. Women are great
gamblers. Talk about men being
gamblersi Women are the greatest
gamblers with life in the world.
