BOYS VOICE FAVOR
FOR DIGNIFIED GIRLS
Declare "Petting" Endangers Char
acter and Suggest Solution
for Own Problem.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK. July Boys prefer
the girl who does not pet" although
admitting that they themselves in
dulge. They are. however at times
inclined to blame their girl friends
for encouraging ''petting" and neck
ing
This was revealed in data Just com
piled by the National Council Of the
Young Mems Christian Association.
following worldwide survey OF boy
attitudes in preparation for the
Worlds Conference at Helsingfors,
Finland. in August.
| In general. according to the dis.
| CuSSiOn summaries, boys standards
are high. Boys feel that Indulgence
| in 'petting" is detrimental to charac-
ter, and they propose that such prob
! lens affecting both sexes should he
worked out by boys and girls To
gether." This plan Of Joint discussions
was followed in a few localities.
| Groups of boys called together In
more than 100 communities to discuss
various youth problems brought out
such comments as these:
IF fellow wants a hot date he
gets it. and if he wants a clean date
| he gets it,
| We would not like to have wife
whom every one had paved over"
"A girl should be one that a fellow
can look up to-"
Smoking and profanity are both
| the results of trying to show off
why don't the girls object to pet
ing? Why do they seem TO like it,
They expect us to take the initia-
tive to stop it, complained one
youngster.
In Brooklyn. during a joint discus
sion for boys and girls averaging l.
years of age it was decided that To
check the habit of ''petting" self-con-
troll was necessary on both sides. The
boys admitted that sometimes they
deliberately attempt to take liberties
while the girls confessed that they
permit too many liberties and give
the impression that they expect 10
be petted."
MANY fellows act questionably by
bringing liquor to dances. and the
girls are too anxious to show off by
wanting to smoke" the boys declared
The group diagnosed the trouble as
partly due to the fact that girls and
fellows lose their heads when they
think they are in love"
Other discussions throughout the
country revealed feeling that home
is a place of neglect and unsympa-
thetic restraint and that in school the
boy is treated TOO much like baby

The removal of A foreign body
 from under the cyclid is fairly simple matter. It is a common prac-
 tic" to pull th" lower tyelid down Hs the eyeball is rolled upward. Tho usual method is, of course, to take d clean pocket handkerchief, fold it so as 10 make a point, and remove
 the speck or "inlcr with the point.
 Sometimes if inc lip of the handker- chief is wet with clean water it will assist in the process of removal. In case nothing is seen on the low er "yelid it becomes necessary to evert the upper lid. Again, this process is generally understood and easily done. A match may bo laid across the lid. held in one hand the ryclashes may be grasped with the fingers of the other hand. thc eye ball rolled down and the lid turned upside down by pulling the lashes over the match. Tho lid may he held lin this position with the left hand while the foreign hody is removed with the handkerchief
 In case tho foreign body is en- p"ddel so firmly IS 10 nccessitate it's removal by somo otEcr means, it is best 10 go 10 q physician immediate ly. Your physician will he able 10 loosen the foreign hody from the tis- sue. Do not nsa | toothpirk or other sharp object for this nrposo,

 She dahbed at her eyes with her handkerchief and left the room, and Mary. strangely white faced, stood staring ont or the window for some time before she followed.
 On the drive downtown and dur ing the concert Church wns atten- tiveness itself 10 Mary He made no almsion to his conversation with her mother, but on 'he way home he quite casually brought up the topic,

 Mary, biting her lips, said, "l um happy where I am, Mr. Church.
 You sny that because it isn't In you to be selfish. You think loo much of others, Mary, and not enough of yourself, Think how won- derful it would be for your mother and you---a home like that.
 "Mary." he continued impctuous- ly "I can give you all that and more. I love you and want you to marry me"
 Don't. Don't" she protested, her face buried in her hands
 "I don't want your answer now. Mary. I want you to think it over. Will you""
 "Yes. I will. Please take me in"
 In her room once more, she flung herself face down on the bed, still fully dressed. Selfish" she cried In q strangled voice, "1s that what I am--sel"ish ."

 Jolly round, bright Mir. Sun was smiling down from the blue, blue sky and there was beginning to be warmth in his smile, although the Green Forest and the Green Meadows were still white with snow. Peter felt that warmth and it set him 10 thinking of spring. Sweet Mistress Spring. He knew she must have started from the Sunny South, How glaii h" would be when she arrived.

 "Tt won't he long now" said Peter, talking to himself, "hcfore Winsomn Blurbrd and Welcome Robin will arrive II certainly will be good to hear them. I don't know of any sound more joyous than the voice of Welcome Robin when he first arrives. 1-What's that?" Peter sat mp so suddenly that he scratched his nose with q bramble.
 From back in the Old Orchard there came a voice. "Cheer-up. chccr-up. chccr-up cheer," cried inc voice. and Peter felt a thrill go all over him. There was no mistaking that voice. "Chcer-up, cheer-up, $cheer-up, Cherr," came again,
