'Templeton Jones. having definitely
given up the idea of reducing his girth
by a bread.and-water diet, decided to
reform his neighborhood as to noise.
The community, he declared. was
much too noisy. There was a pow
WOW going on in 1t from morning until
night-in fact. from very early morn
ing to very late at night.
They were such healthy people. his
neighbors. and so full of pep" as the
young people expressed it. Din and
racket came natural to them. To be
healthy and to make noise seemed
synonymous in the community.
There was always some one to pre-
vent sleep. On the night that every
thing else was quiet a new noise
would develop. Some one always was
| ready to fill in the breach. There
shall he no quiet tonight 1t was
almost as If this we're the motto.
The small boys. In particular. wor-
ried Jones. Now it was not 80 long
ago that Temp Jones had been a
!'small boy himself. In his youth he
had yelled and screamed and roller
skated with the best of them.
When he was boy, however, he
insisted, children were not allowed
out so late At night. why, when !
as late as 9 o'clock my mother had
| a fit.
Then, too. I had homework to DO.
| believe that homework is no longer
| fashionable in educational circles. 1t
| hampers the free expression of youth
or something. No, 1t represses them.
Yes, that is it.
"The thing to beware of today is
repressing a boy. Do anything to
him but repress him. Knock his head
off. but don't repress Johnnie. 1t
| would injure his soul. A little repres
i sion now and then, would do some OF
them good. but the parents don't
seem to think SO. So
y 4 X
1t was large so" and Jones had
nothing further to say, not even
| so"
| He was a good sport. was Jones.
and he cast around for some method
of uuieting the obstreperous spirits OF
youth without in any way casting re-
| Elections upon the kids.
He finally decided upon museum
of childhood toys.
| He recalled the action OF an esti
mable lady who lived in an apartment
! in which he was a resident. A mem
her of the family was i'll. A neighbOr' $
small child, the owner of toy whistle
| insisted on footing away constantly
An appeal to the mother brought re
suits for exactly 20 minutes: Perhaps
| that was all that could be expected.
Anyway. the whistle continued tG
toot, and the sick person to fret, until
the lady under discussion had
J bright idea.
| She approached Bobbie and onereo
| him 25 cents for the whistle.
Robert pocketed the shiny coin. ane
the lady went away with the oIeno
| ing whistle Perhaps she had nc
business in thus providing the small
bow with some 80 lollypops, 100 choco
late cigars, or ice cream cones
| Or g,
Templeton Jones recalled that Incl
dent: and, as he did so, there came
| TO him the big idea of creating a
museum of childhoods toys in MS
basement.
"Ry George, that is Just the thing,
he said to himself ''I'll buy up al
the roller skates, and all the roller
| skate wagons, and all the base balis
and all the foot balls, and
Jones fairly bubbled with his bls
idea. He was like a boy with a new
| TOW. He expounded at length TO MI
wife the right and wrong ways u

Jones first prospect was Sammy
Pendleton. 10 years. as big as u. and
twice as noisy. Sam had beaut1ful
pair of steel-wheeled skates. with the
aid Of which he became modern
Mercury.
Sammy could make almost as much
noise on them as a two-ton truck
during daylight. while after night
fall he gave very good imitation OF
fire engine at fun speed.
Hello, Sam Jones greeted the
young hopeful.
"'Lo," replied Sam. in the cour
teous new manner fashionable among
the youngest set. Jones had been
brought up to say Yes, SIR TO his
elders.
Sammy, that's a nice pair OF
skates you got there

Jones soon got beautiful specimen
of roller-skate wagon. 1t belonged to
Johnny Myerson. 9. who had con
structed it out Of a soap box and a
pair of old rusty skates. The boz
acted as q resonating cha for the
skates and the whole excelled two

Jones never revealed what he haC
to pay Johnny Myerson for this

eminently fair man and saw to II
| that John made a fair trade.
| Soon Templeton Jones had il palr

Few newspa per interviews have ever
created wider comment than the one
by Bruce Barton. recently distributed
by the Associa ted Press. And no sub
iect has shown by the editorial COM
ment upon it more clearly the truth
Of the ancient adage that one ma
meat is another mans poison.
The whole gamut is Jun from l'i-
some praise to sarcastic criticism.
There are many ready with tributes
which. like the Milwaukee Journai :
