We listened to a walled com plaint the other day with pity i
 our hearts and sympathy in ou
 eye. A s. Y. T. (Sweet Youn
 Thing) was mad about everything
 She didn't like this fair city o
 ours. She thought the police fore
 was inefficient. Men were horrid Those who adorned the monumen on Central park were-well-sh was very explicit in telling what sh thought of them.
 Her complaint was Justified. Tn poor child had suffered in silence until finally her restraint had snap ned, her will power had given ava! with a crash and she had gone Der serk about the whole proposition.
 T don't care if the city wants tt let those people hang around thu monument" she tearfully stated That's up to them. Personally think it's a shame to have that nict monument spoiled by all those mer in front of 1t. But I don't minc that 50 much. It's when it gets SC that a girl can't walk along the street in broad daylight without having some of those worked-three' years-ago John Gilberts say some thing-thats when I get sore.
 "We girls have gotta stand foI enough anyway. without the city providing a parking space for those shiftless yaps. (She was getting madder every minute). It's not SC bad when a decently dressed boy with at least a collar on says Hello One can snub him or smile or can just ignore him altogether. But when somebody who looks as though he had last shaved three days before Grant entered Vicks- burg and bathed eight days before that says some low-down thing in a loud voice to you, it makes it tough"
 It must be tough, we agree. The modern girl isn't any shrinking vio- let by long shot. Maybe she likes her pack of flags a day and maybe she knows just how much lemon juice should go into a gin cooler but she's entitled to lot of respect.
 Every central street corner IS adorned with these specimens of err manhood who, like Solomon's lilies toll not, neither do they spin, but stand arounA in shirt sleeves and say things to Sally and Anne as they pass by.
 Meanwhile, the white-capped guardians of the law frown on little boys roller skating on the sidewalk and draw chalk pictures on automo- bile tires. Situated as it is. virtually isolated from other and perhaps more efficient cities, 1t is possible that the local police haven't heard of that simple and yet effective lit tie speech that prevents such oc- currences in other cities. Only two words, easy to learn and to remem- ber-
 Keep Moving"
 This week we are going to round out our series of instructions on with a resume of things which we are sure you Will md helpful to you. In case you cannot use the suggestions we are offering rewrap securely the ship back to Box A, Winisipee (Mich) P. O.. Return postage will be guaranteed if you want to go into that.
 We promised last week that we would give you the fine points of canoeing this week and here we are in our best bib and tucker, ready to fulfill our promise.
 In choosing the canoe. it Is all ways worth while to look it over before purchasing. A sponsor canoe will not tip over, or at least the advertisements say they won't We have seen some sponsor canoes which forgot about the non- tipping phrase of the advertisement but they were probably half-breeds and had a little straightside blood in them. At least it can be said that a straightside distinctly WILL tip over if given half chance so, to get all the thrill possible out of canoe ing, one should choose a straight side.
 The correct manner in entering the canoe has considerable to do with the success of the venture. The canoe should be brought up along side the dock and one foot, prefer able the left should be lowered into the boat. The canoe will then begin to leave the dock and as the boat gets farther and farther from the dock, the canoeist will be observed doing split" as the feat is called in stage dancing. After emulating the Colossus of Rhodes, the canoeist will fall backwards into the water with a pleasing splash.
 In making long trip in a canoe it is best to decide against the ven- ture and go by train. Small arti- cles such as ice boxes. pianos and may be slowed in the bow. directly under the third class cabins. The larger articles which will be carried on the trip should be included in the rear hold and en- closed in the bill Of lading under Section 444s-B.
 In shooting rapids. the canoeist should always remember to keep the canoe above water. A large stone in the path of the craft may be re- moved by two pound charge of or dinary black powder, fired by an electrical contrivance which is on sale at most book stores. Falls over 300 feet in height should be shot by means of a rope ladder.
 Now that we have explained the fine points of camping to you. we are leaving the rest to you. We
