WOES OF YOUTH
 UP 10 FAMILY
Domestic Shortcomings Re-
 SpOnSible for Evils

New York. April 30 NH The family shortcomings again are held responsible for the mooted nervous symptoms and the delnquencies Of the young people today,
 The truth is. assert socioogists and educators, that the position ot both parents in the family and of the family within the social pattern, is changing.
 The family of the future, as pie tured by these authorities in their published symposium Concerning Parents" will give the mother full scope of her powers as an individ- ual; will give the father the chance to study child training and take more active part in his child's up- bringing, and will transfer from both parents 10 the community some of the more irksome tasks of the home.
 Mothers today fail to provide their children with the serenity" as necessary to them as milk, orange iuica and spinach, said Dr. Ethel Puffer ''owes. director of Smith College In flute for the Coordna- ton of Women's Interests. They fail 10 dispense serenity because they have not achieved it, she added,
 "Talk of suppressed desires, If is suppressed powers that l believe is

at the root of much of the rest lessness and instability among our women today, and have found psychiatrists 10 agree, The fact is society has now no frame for the mother who needs also 10 be per- son, Children need letting alone"
 Helen WooIIey, assistant director of the Merfill-Palmer school at De- troit, can sec no reason why the type of educational opportunity that offers study of childhood should not be thrown open to students of both sexes, Let the father take over the reins of the family" she sug- gestcd.
 "I know many a family in which 1t is the father who has far more native intelligence about the train ing of the children than the moth or" pr. Woollcy declared. "rhat is a matter of personality rather than sex"
 The chief difficulty in the care of little children in the home consists in the overwhelming effect of the parents conduct upon the child, as- serted Dr. Beatrice Hinkle, child specialist.
 And when one realizes that by far the larger number of parents are cmotionaIy undevelopcd, it is clear why sociologists begin to dcs- pair of ever finding in tho family, conditions which will contribute 10 q more emotionally mature and evolved humanity.
 "The new relations between men and women demand an emotional maturity on the part of each, The labor of family care will be put on a professional basis, with only those eligible who have qualified by as strict a training as is required for any other of the modern professions. This will inevitably bring about a new family relationship, and an at mosphere most desirable for the children"

Artists May Starve But
 They Live tO Old Ace

. London, April 30 P -- Artists may starve in Chelsea garrets, as Sir Joseph Duveen suggests, but starvation does not shorten their lives, if one may judge by the longevity of many of England's painters.
 Sir Luke Fidles is S2, Joseph Farquharson is 79. Both Sir David Murray and Sir Aston Webb are v, and Walter Ouless is 7S. Sir Frank Dicksee, the president of the British academy, Is mere child among the academicians, being only Fl.

Movie "Heartbreak House"
 One True to Its Title

Culver City, Cayn April 30 R9 - "Hcartbreak House" is a place in the Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer studios that lives up to its name.
 Here directors, executives, play CTS, experts and others gather to decide on necessary operations upon pictures Then the film goes to the cutting rooms, where scis- sors, razor blades and glue do the actual work.
 Sometimes a directors favorite shot one that he has spent nights in developing - is found unnecessary. So out 1t goes. Many star may be seen weeping tears of disappointment as the scenes she wanted to appear in all her life, are ordered whacked out as irrele- want. Or 1t may be the author or the camera man.
 Many thousand feet of negative are used In every picture, so when the cutting is made to bring the action within five or ten reels al- most every one connected with the play suffers.

HOTTENTOT LAND
 BEING SURVEYED
Scientists Are Visiting This
 Strange Country

Washington, D. C., April 29 R)- Brukkaros, little place on the plateau of Southwest Africa, has been definitely selected, after a search of the dry regions of the old world. to be an eastern hemisphere outpost Of American science. Dr. Charles G. Abbot head of the Ma tional Geographic socety's solar ra- diation expedition in cooperation with the Smithsonian Institution has chosen the place as a site for an observatory which for four years will study daily variations in the suns heat.
 The observations will be made in connection with simultaneous obscr- yations at sun stations in North and South America, with a view to determining whether fluctuations in the heat poured ou by the sun di- rectly influence the earth's weather. Dr, Abbot inspected proposed sites in Morocco and Bauchstan, and looked favorably on a point near Quetta in the latter country; but the more favorable climatic conditions in Southwest Africa as well as the stability of the political situation, brought about the selection of the more southern location.
 Location of Station
 "Brukkaros lies about 200 miles from the Atlantic ocean in South west Africa and about 800 miles all most due north of Cape Town" says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C, headquarters of the National Geographic society. Tt is near the railway which runs north and south in the uplands of Southwest Africa and less than 100 miles from the junction of that line with the east and vets line which connects with the coast at the port of Luderitz. Two hundred and fifty miles to the north is Windhuk, capital of South west Africa.

This coastal strip is known as the Namib,' Few coast regions of the earth are more desolate.
 Shallow water. low desert islands, absence of harbors, and dry, sandy shore, devoid of vegetation, combin- cd to make the region so inhospit- able to seamen that for centuries they gave t wide berth. The sand, mostly blown into dunes, extends in- land from ten 10 forty miles, and the barren, descrt character of this strip is marked from the southern boundary for about GOO miles north. The few stream beds that have been worn into the Namib during the ages have water in them only now and then over long period of years, and when moisture does flow down from tho highlands, 1t seldom reaches the sea.
 Rains Every Ten Years
 "Tho northern two hundred miles of the coast region is only little less dcsoate than the Namib. It Is more mountainous. less dominated by loose sand. and lies in more tropical latitude. The stream beds are better defined and usually sup port q growth of bushes and trees.
 Perhaps once in ten years the Namib receives q drenching rain and demonstrates the magic that nature hides in her drops of water, Yer dure springs up all over the parched sands, animals flock in almost over night, and for a while the former desert teens with game. Soon, however, the sun parches the soil again, the animals disappear and lance more the desert is supreme.
 Prom ten to forty miles inland the desert gives place to transit ton belt Sparse grass and bushes appear on rising ground and afford some pasture, Immediately beyond Is the escarpment of the inland plateau, its edge marked in many places by fantastically piled bould- CTS.
