Full of fines and modern punish
ments. And so he plays his part
The scene then shifts into the lean
and slippery taxicab stage,
With goggles on nose and palm
always open,
The pirate chauffeur is given sway
a world too wide for his shrunk
conscience.
Then the delivery wagon,
The springs turning toward child
ish treble. pipe and squeak,
While motor gasps with leaky
valves and carboned cylinders.
Last scene of all,
That ends this strange, eventful
history of the uninsured car,
In vacant garage yard and mere
Oblivion, it lies,
Sans tires, sans lamps, sans wheels
sans everything.

as he climbed out of the big rock

Johnnie, don't you hear mother
calling you!"
ooh, how dumb!" CALCULATED the
boy as he climbed back into his
car. II never turned on the switch
"Buzzz - chug ~ chug - chug,n
sounded the engine as he turned
an imaginary key and put his foot
on the starter.
Johnnie, If you don't come now,
you won't get any supper" came
the voice again.
"Now she's going fne,v sighed
the lad as he turned the steering
wheel-an embroidery hoop which
he held in his hands.
For some, little time, Johnnie
drove his car through imaginary
towns, up hills and across rivers.
Better get some supper here" he
said at last as he stopped his
rocker before make-believe inn.
The word supper seemed to
bring something to his mind and
he jumped up and trotted down
stairs at breakneck speed.
AS he entered the dining room,
his mother and father were just
finishing their dessert, and neith-

there. He slid into his chair and
at last yentured, I'm hungry"
Two big tears suddenly made the
table look bury. sI'b hungry"

and rebellion in the tone.
ssYou know mother always keeps
her word. If you are going to act
like that, you had better go right

At that suggestion Johnnie
jumped down from his chair and
threw himself on the floor, kicking
and screaming. After a moments
hesitation the father picked up his
son bodily and carried him up TO
bed. undressed him and left him
to sob himself to sleep.

Your first duty in life is toward

Far away in the years he is
waiting his turn. His body, his

hands. He cannot help himself.
What will you leave for him?

lust or dissipation; mind trained

to the truth about you? Will you,
Boy, let him come as a man among
men in his time?
Or will you throw away his in
heritance before he has had the
chance to touch it? Will you turn
over to him brain distorted, a
mlnd diseased; a will unframed to
action; spinal cord grown thru
and thru with the devil grass we
call wild oats?
Will you let him come. taking

Or will you fling it all away,
decreeing, wanton-like, that the
man you might have been shall
never be?
This is your problem in life
the problem vastly more important
to you than any or all others. How
will you meet it, as a man or as
fool? It is your problem TO-DAY
and every day, and the hour of
your decision is the crisis in your
destiny!
