OCCASIONAL FAMILY
CLASHES DEFENDED
Absence Shows Lack of Initiative,
Parent-Teachers Told-Thrift
and Suicides Discussed.
By the Associated Press.


OAKLAND, Calf, May 26,-"Lurid
advertisements" were blamed for the
lack of American thrift, by speakers
at thrift" luncheon held here yes
terday by the National Congress of
Parents and Teachers.
A. j. Gray of the Los Angeles Saw
ings Association placed squarely upon
the advanced American art of adver-
tising, the blame for lack Of thrift in
adults and young children.
So inviting are the advertisements
on billboards. in store windows and
elsewhere that one unconsciously
reacts to the appeal by buying too
many non essentials. Gray declared.
Mrs. Ella Caruther Porter Of Dallas,
Tex, national chairman of the thrift
committee, told the delegates that
California and Washington led all
other States in thrift.
The congress also discussed suicides
of students and dissension in the
family.
Suicides, said DR.. Ernest r. Groves
of Boston University. usually were
traceable to the habit of dwelling
within ones self. Those who looked
upon external things were apt to find
life sunny and agreeable.
DR.. Groves expressed the opinion
that an occasional clash in the family
was normal, and that its absence
showed lack of initiative upon the
part of husband or wife. 1t was
natural. he asserted, to fight for per-
sonaI desires. .-r.-..
