YOUTH NO WORSE NOW Than CENTURIES
AGO. SAYS EDUCAT0R-H0mE IS MAJOR
INSTITUTION FOR SHAPING CHARACTER

Formerly tied together, now hopeless
.ly separated, void is created which
literally cannot be filled.
"A sage Of old enunciated thought
helpful for our guidance-'let US live
with our children Living with our
children is almost an impossibility
now The call Of our social obliga-
tions is too imperative and often
we're SO uninterssting to our off
springs. this latter growing out Of
our neglect, perhaps.
What Home Should Be
If home is always a place where
the companions Of our children are
welcome; If it exists for their whole
some enjoyment; if parents can enter
into the group sports and activities
with q pleasure belying their years;
if they seek ways Of keeping their
children unsophisticated as long as
possible 50 that all the thrills Of life
may not become exhausted while the
iuvenility still exists, then energies
which will out become directed into
channels worthy Of approval" !"

clash of expert opinion AS Ia
whether Charles Elrod met death last
Saturday night by poison or from n.-
tural causes. today deepened the mys.
terry facing local officials.
In letter written by Elrod to the
19-year-old school girl while he was
in a dying condition, he told her he
had dreamed she poisoned him and
declared that although she once
threatened his life, he could not be.
lieve that she had attempted to kill
him. But if it were true, he added
he forgave her.
Accusations Denied
The girl has denied that such 9
threat ever was made by her, adding
that Elrod himself had talked of sui.
eide because Of troubles not directly
s4elated to their disrupted matrimonial
plans.
The difference of opinion among
experts includes a statement by two
physicians that Elrod died from poi
soning, while Dean Wilbur J. Teeters
Of the University Of Iowa, has re-
ported he was unable to find trace of
poison.
A coroner's jury yesterday agreed
with the tvo physicians and returned
verdict that death was caused by
violence" probably by poison.
Dean Teeters described the Elrod
case, as the "most unusual have
ever experienced" He said he had
no idea as to what caused death and
that his tests had revealed no, trace
of any poison in common usage. The

BOY seen ON
FLOATING ICE
CAKE SOUGHT
Little Hope Held For Rescue
Of Youth, Who Disappeared
In Darkness
HIS IDENTITY UNKNOWN
Fear Expressed That He May
Have Become Numb and =
Slipped Into Water

Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 2O.-LP)-An
unidentified boy on a bobbing cake
of ice in Lake Erie was the object Of
frantic search by rescue workers to-
day. n
Little hope was held for rescue of
the youth. last seen beating his arms
against his sides to keep off the
numbing cold as the floe upon which
he stood floated into the darness last
night.
Throughout the night the fire tug
John A. Farley, equipped with power
ful searchlights, plowed through the
ice searching for the cake of ice
and its pathetic human cargo, but
no trace Of him was found.
Darkness Envelops Him
Early in the night watchers had
trailed him along the shore as coast
guardsmen and police tried in vain
to launch rescue boats. Thin ice
gave way under the weight Of row.
boats, or banked floes reached jag
ged heights which made launching
impossible.
Coastguardsmen pointed out that
she ice upon which tho boy stood
might have broken up, and declared
that even should it drift shorcward,
he was in danger Of being crushed.
Dropping temperature added to the
danger and it was feared that he
might have slipped into the icy water
after losing his precarious footing
on the ice.
Efforts to learn the identity Of
the youth were fruitless.. Police re.
ported no one missing, and other
agencies failed to identity him. The
reason for his being on the ice also
z was unknown.
