FORD AND GLENN SCORE
AS AUTOMOBILE TOURISTS

The comedy relief for the many
solemn programs of Saturday was
the Ford and Glenn tour Of the
world in what they call the "WLS
Twin Wheeze," from Chicago.
These two versatile young mus
icians, accompanied by Ralph
Emerson, organist, make an
imaginary tour OF the entire
continent in q dilapidated auto
mobile every Saturday evening"
visiting all the people who make
requests for particular numbers on
the program.
The tour Saturday evening was
one Of the most successful Of their
season. Watch for it next Satur-
day night-from WIS, Chicago. It
is worth the trouble of tuning.
Florida--the LAND. of sunshine
and flowers"-came into loud speak
ers Saturday and Sunday with con-
siderable volume and fairly gooi
programs. But so did Toronto and
Montreal, where some excellent
music was presented and some
more very desirable programs are
planed for the coming week, so the
Toronto announcer stated in sign
ing off last night.

CHILD GRIMES
DECREASING

Criticism OF public speakers for
making sensational. speeches on the
subject of juvenile delinquency,
when a survey Of statistics shows
a marked decrease in the prolem,
Is contained in a report just issued
by the Children's Bureau Of the
Department Of Labor.
A review Of statistics from thir-
teen leading American cities COW
ing the last ten years reveals that
child delinquency has decreased in
nine instances. There are small
increases shown in four of the
thirteen cities, the report states.
On the subject of scare speeches, :"
the bureau says:
1T would be far more sane to
give thoughtful consideration to
this problem rather than to make
headline attacks. The first essen
tial in meeting and discussing the
situation is adequate statistics.
There has been a marked de-
crease in child crimes in Washing
ton, the report states. Contrary
to many hearSay reports, the city
of New York also shows a large
decrease. Other cities showing a
decrease are Boston, Buffalo, Chi
cago, New Orleans, Providence
Richmond and ST. Louis.
Increased delinquency was found
in Philadelphia, Detroit, Minneap-
oils and Seattle.
The bureau reports that due to
faulty records 1t has been difficult
to compile thoroughly accurate sta
tistics. However, there is almost
a uniform decrease shown by the
available figures.

St. Johns Day Rites
Observed in Mexico

June "a Is universal bath day In
Mexico. Throughout the republic
men, women and children. by going
down to the streams or swimming
pools and bathing, commemorate the
day on which st. John the Baptist
baptized Jesus Christ.
This custom of observing "St.
Johns day. was originated by the
Spanish in the Sixteenth century,
when all recent converts among the
natives were taken to a stream of
running water and baptized. The
custom Is believed to be peculiar In
Mexico.
AS the tradition began to lose its
hold on the people, following the
gaining of independence, the cere-
mony began to take on a more fes-
tive aspect and lost somewhat of its
religious significance. In the Nine
teenth century, therefore, the day be-
gan to be celebrated by aquatic

7,740 feet above the sea. The noun

foreground and those who love noun
tain scenery have here treat which
hey will remember. Leaving this scene
the next point of interest was The
Thumb. The west arm of the Yellow

this vast body of water whose surface
glistens in the sun. Situated away up
in the Mountains surrounded by vast
mountain ranges and high peaks this
lake is continuously fed by the melting
snow from those mighty peaks. 1t is
bewildering but enchanting sight.
One who has lived near the waters or
lakes looks for white sails and motor
craft such as would naturally be found
on such lovely body of water, but
none appear but in their place are seen
groups of Pelican which live on the
lake. This Thumb is branch of the
lake proper. The auto was sent for

crosses the divide is at Shoshone point
a few miles beyond lisa Lake, where
a fine view of Shoshone Lake and the
Giant Teton Mountains, overlooking
Jackson Lake, is to be had. These lay
to the south. This glorious sight drew

Away to the south was seen the
three Tetons whose three giant peaks
stand high above Jackson Lake. They
are prepetually snow capped which

to stand as sentinels overlooking a

view from Shoshone point is very at
