Blanche felt that they were chums

young to hold a job-and their free

Yes, it was her radio. But she
heard no girlish voice singing with

Of the ST. all apartment and looked
upon a Cherry curled up in misery
upon the davenport, sobbing out
loud.
Choking over the story, Cherry
told her mother that she had found
out that-that-well, there was TO

boy was gone. Where? oh. she
didn't knowl She didn't want ever
to see him again! Blanche's poor
heart labored under this emotional
strain without much help. There
was only one thing to do: to pro-

for her and the baby. But she did
not live to do so. Only a few wee,,s

The education OF a boy is not merely matter
of schooling and discipline. The boy himself does

of his life in the hours he spends with
Heroes his heroes, who teach him ideals and
of ambitions and write their message in
his heart. These heroes, mythical and
TOdGU shadowy though they may be, have
power over him and gain his love and
confidence, and the bent and fiber of his character
will inevitably reflect their inspiration.
1t used to be that knights of old or spectacular
heroes Of pioneer days were the boon companions
of the youthful spirit But the daily newspaper in
every household has wrought its miracle even with
the boy His heroes today the front pages
of the paper; they athletes, soldiers and sailors
aviators and explorers, and men everywhere who
give their strength hazard their lives in some deed
Of unselfshness and sacrifice.
Boy nature demands heroes and the boys heroes
today are Of his generation and very much alive
IN the world with them. He may see them hear their
voices and follow their story from day to day. The
picture OF Lindbergh hangs the walls of countless
boys beorooms they can read the book he has writ
ten and catch glimpse of him he rides his swift
steed above the cities Of America The wise parent
and teacher will encourage such hero worship SO that
the torch OF high empire may day pass to hands
that are ready for it.

We believe that there ought to be liberty of
expression for these officers. 1t is of course better
for them to express their critcms in private before
the department heads and higher officials. But, if
these higher ups" will not act nor change their
methods then it becomes necessary that the public
should understand the inner workings of affairs.
Officers should be granted, at least, the privilege
free expression in criticism or praise so long
they keep within the bounds of good decorum. In
this way can better keep our military affairs free
from decay or extravaganza.

Is there a bird called the great
horned owl? Describe it.


The great horned owl, also known
as the eagle owl, belongs to a group
of large fierce owls of the Northern
Hemisphere, of which the American
great horned or hooting owl is a
familiar example. They are char
acterized by somewhat incomplete
facial disk, two tufts of feathers OF
considerable size on the head, ears
with small external openings, legs
and toes covered with feathers, short
strong curved bill and long curved
sharp claws. They prey on hares,
rabbits, voting deer, grouse and
cartridges. Their prey is seized with
the feet and the owl seldom touches
it with the bill till its struggles are
over. These owls have deep loud
syllabled boot, varied somewhat into
a horse neighing laugh.

of people to whom the name of this
idol Of American baseball fans is "A
household word to see him not only
as 1.-THE swat king" in action but as
an actor also. 80
Oddly enough, however, it is not
just q picture written around the
character and exploits or prowess Of
the baseball hero. Instead, it is "a
real story which called for just such
character. Ruth was available and
he was engaged fot the role.
1t was evident that the purpose
was to make a picture to please the
public at large, even those who arc
not baseball fans, when a cast Of
real favOritcs was engaged to sup
port Babe Ruth.
Anna Q. Nilsson and Louise Fa-
zenda are featured. Both are prime
favorites with the amusement-loving
public. Ethel Shannon has the in
gcnuc role; Lou Archer and Arthur
Stone are both cast in good parts.

deed, it was a magazine tale before
it was adapted to the screen, stor,
