LONDON. Sept. 1.-THE birth
rate in England and Wales has
now fallen below that of France
With the exception of Sweden, it
is the lowest of the principal Eu-
ropean countries, according to the
Registrar-General.
The birth-rate for 1926, was
IFS per 1000 population. Except
ing the rate Of III in 1918, the
last year Of the war. which at
that time was regarded as pheno-
menally low, that for 1926 is the
lowest recorded since the estab-
lishment of civil registration in
this country.

PARIS, Sept. Juvenile Grim
inality in France Is decreasing.
Statistics show there have been
only three-fifths as many cases
&s during the few years just after
the war.
Juvenile courts began to operate
in France few months before
the war, though they were nor
at their best during the five years
of battle.
The average number of criminal
trials of minors was about $4,000

even more marked because police

Co-Pilots on Old Glory
Experienced Flying Men
HILL STARTED
FLYING EARLY

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Jamcs
De Witt Hill. co-pilot and Co
navigator of Old Glory, the New
York-to-Rome plane, was born in
Scottdale, Pa, March 2, 1885, the
son of Scotch-Irish parents.
His boyhood was marked by a
bent for things mechanical, with
the usual disastrous results Tor
alarm clocks and locks. His first
indication of laundering after the
air was given when he swiped
a tablecloth from his mother and.
with this rugged out as a para
chute, jumped from the barn roof
Although the parachute" did not
perform its expected function. Hi
was not injured when he hit the
ground.
Hill began his college education
at Lafayette, shortly after the
Wright brothers had made their
first flight. and when he did not
get in college the sort of studies
he thought would prepare him for
flying career. which he dc.
cided upon, he quit Later he went
to Cornell. taking up mechanical
engineering III health forced Hill
to quit Cornell and he returned to
Scottdale and went to work as an
automotive engineer.
Prepares for Flying
Still interested in flying, Hill
went to Cleveland to see Clean
Curtiss' plane on exhibition This
resolved him and he began to de-
flnitely to fit himself for flying.
In 1910 while in Portland Oregon,
Hill met Charlie Hamilton at a
county fair, and every day he
went back to watch Hamilton fly
From this time on, Hill studied
aviation. and even Hamilton'5
death in crash did not deter
him. His health was still such
that he needed care. but the
spirit OF aviation was burning
brightly within him.
To bring back his health. Hill
took grant of 100 acres of land
and homesteaded for IS months.
This restored his health and he
went to North Island, near San
Diego, Cal. and learned to fly at
the Hammondsport, Ind There
was not much opportunity for fly
ing in those days, but Hill wens
up whenever he could.

CINCINNATI, Sept. IS, R-The
Reds were perched between two hos
tile fires tonight.
In one camp the world champion
Cardinals plotted scalping tomor-
row that would net them three
straight in a series with the Reds.
About a block away the Pirates
listening intently to the flapping of
the world series flag, were polishing
up their walking plankS ready to
make the Reds their victims Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. They will
watch the Cardinals-Re battle from
the grandstand tomorrow.
The third game of the Red-Car-
dinal series today was decisively
rained out after the Cardinals hac
taken two straight. The precipitation
started before the sun got a chance
to come up and continued steadily
all day. The field will not be pleas
ant for tomorrow's game unless old
Sol does some mighty good work
tomorrow morning.
There was no visiting between
members of the Pirate and Cardinal
camps. The Pirates are confident but
not boaSting. The Cardinals also have
plenty of confidence and are Stimu-
lating it with prayer for a break
that might let them squeeze in ahead
of the Pittsburghers.
While the flag contenders unused
overthe next few days the Red
management had "Red" Lucas cor
nered in the headquarters. 1t was
understood that as a result the
pitcher accepted bonus for his

himself sizeable increase in salary

which is to be three-day affair; the

White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1927-04-22

| During the. last decade much con-
sideration has been given to the prep
aration of the youth of the present
day for some definite, practical career.
Where expense must be taken into &C
count the problem is always more COM
plicated, for definite plans seem al
most impossible to formulate, but par
ents and guardians would do well to
impress upon the girls and boys I'M
der their care and direction the abso-
lutte need in this day and age of close
competition that they prepare them
selves definitely for their future ca
reer, which is in great measure
made or marred by this preparation or
lack of it.
To those who are fortunate enough
to be able to bear the expense of train
ing their boys and girls in schools and
colleges for an indefinite time, the
problem is not so acute, but for those
whose children must earn their daily
bread as soon as it is possible for them
to do so, should commence very early
to direct these young people to choose
some career for their future lives,
which could be prepared for to some
extent all through their school course.
At least, it could be borne in mind
mi auarufhfY,o ha
done to help the idea along, so that
when the time came to leave school
and take up the serious business of
earning livelihood, chance need not
take such a prominent place in the
choice of work, for there would be the
plant growing from the little seed
sown in the early years, and perhaps
it would blossom early and give pleas
ureable results in bearing fruit in the
shape of position obtained because
efficient preparation was shown.
All this seems more necessary in the
case of girls starting out to earn their
living. Boys can rough 1t and change
jobs without dire results, but girls
seeking economic independence must
have something definite to offer, when
they apply for work. Especially Is
this true of rural girls seeking en-
ployment in the city Disappointment
through failure to find employment
has caused more tragedies among girls
than any other one thing. They start
out so hopeful and sure of themselves,
and when failure comes, courage goes,
and shame to admit failure to their
home folks often leads them to deg
radiation which they never can re-
cover
This story is as old as the hills, and
still it goes on, but it could be such
different story IL parents would COM
mence early enough with their chill
dren to instil into their minds and
hearts the necessity Of steadiness of
purpose, integrity of mind and truth
fulness; to have method in all things,
to make good rules and see that they
are kept. And above all, Parents,
train them to love God and believe in
Him, and let them see by your exam
pie that you believe in Him. Take
