By L. Lamar Matthews

DURING his summer vacation
~ from school, Benton worked
at a soda fountain. He was
only fourteen years old and his
mother felt very sorry that he
never had any time to play.
For his hours were from nine
to nine which is the way of
such jobs in small towns.
Benton did not mind so much.
He wanted to work. The only
pleasure that he especially craved
and missed was going with the
other boys to the swimming
pool. But his father said flatly
that no child of his could go
swimming at night.
Then on Saturday he called his
mother over the telephone,
Mother. 1 want to go to the
swimming pool tonight" he said.
John and Berry are going and
i haven't been this summer"
IF you don't care I'll take a
chance on him." the boy laughed.
Il don't know what your father
will say. son." replied his mother
in a tone that indicated her own
willingness.

A BLUE-EYED

THE United States is in the

but, due to climatic conditions

his assertion on the results of
