SUICIDAL YOUTH

Much has been said lately ABOUT the wave of STU
dent sulciacs. he newspapers have carried

ally accepted

and remedies.
Now the New York World, after looking into the
records declares that there is really such wave
Iamentable there indeed, of boys and girls
in high school and college giving way to despair and
choosing death the only solution fer the ills they
see in life. But figures submitted by the World make
it doubtful that the situation is SO bad represented.
Mortality statistics show that more than 1900
young people from IL to II. take their lives in
this country every year according to government re-
ports. This means more than three day Naturally
considering large high school and college Dopula
tion good many Of these are students.
The current misapprehension is attributed to the
fact that, early this year, several rather prominent
students happened to make away with themselves,
thus attracting widespread attention. and latter that
the newspapers began to count. Abnormal attention
had been attracted to situation that may not have
been really abnormal IN itself.
The evil is still great enough to merit al that can
be done by way of alienation, especially greater sym
pathy and understanding for youth. But it is we'll
not to exaggerate the evil and thereby give it still
greater power over the minds of boys and girls OF
morbid tendency.

THEAIERS

Anybody who fears that laughter
may increase their girth is here
with warned to stay away from the
Valley Theater, where MeFadden
Flats hads its premiere yesterday
For this latest First National
picture, filmed by the producing
, body of Asher, Small x Rogers, is
one of the greatest laugh hirs ever
thrown upon the screen. Not only
have all the comic situations that
made the original hit for more
than thirty years been retained, but
new and novel situations have been
added. The result is that nobody
who cares for wholesome fun can
afford to miss this, the most pro-
missing of the season S successes.
Two of the reasons for the com
plete success of this picture are
Charlie Murray and Chester Conk-
lin, who have been teamed up for
the first time in this production.
Charlie, always excruciatingly fun-
nu, finds greater opportunities than
ever in his association with the gift
ed Conkliu.
Other important roles are cxcep.
! tionally we'll handled by Larry
Kent, Dewitt Jennings, Aggie Her
ring, Freeman Wood, Dot Farley,
Cissy fitzgerald and LEO White.

theme, the splendid treatment IT
has been accorded by director, au-

F.. b. O. Gold Bond Special which
comes to the Palace Theater tomor-
row night only is something new,
distinctive and absorbing. "Her

by Hyatt Daab and Weed Dickin-
son, and Doris Anderson handled
the adaptation for the screen. The
role was created with Miss Frede-
rick in mind, and T. B. o. held up
the production for months after the
purchase of the story awaiting for
the actress to complete her recent
triumphal tour of Australia
Director Chef Whitney has handled
rich dramatic material with remark
able sagacity, and the cast, which
includes Carol Nye, Greta Won Rue,
Thomas Santchi, Stanton Heck,

in the featured roles, is perfectly

Ohio Man Restores Beauty to Famous Central P.r

Central Park in New York, cele-
bratod in song and story. Is to remain
beauty spot in the heart OF the
most congested city on earth.
The worlds most famous park has
) been rescued from impending decay
as result of the single-handed fight
OF an Ohio man, Congressman Martin
L. Davey, President Of the Davey Tree
EXERT Co., Kent, Ohio.
When Congressman Davey made a
speech on conservation two years ago
to the Ohio Society Of New York he
startled his listeners by telling them
that. the fine old trees in Central
Park were dying because Of neglect;
that they were starving to death.
without trees, he said the park would
! become sun-swept plain, having
| neither shade nor beauty.
Then the battle began. The park
commissioner admitted that the trees
were dying, but contended that they
were being poisoned by noxious gases
| from auto exhausts and chimneys. 1t
was his argument that 1t was physi-
cally impossible for trees to live In
congested New York. Newspapers took
sides, and. for days attacks and coun-
attacks filled the news columns
and editorial pages.
Finally the Herald-Tribune sug-
gested editorially that Congressman
Davey be allowed to offer proof of
his assertions. One hundred dying
trees were selected for the expert
ment. Davey volunteered to have the
work done without cost to the city.
Meantime, under Davey's direction,
exhaustive chemical analysis were
made of the air. They demonstrated
conclusively that neither carbon
nnonoxide, from auto eXhausts, nor
sulphur dioxide, from chimneys, was
present in sufficient density to affect
vegetation. In fact. human beings
could not live if the gases were strong
enough to destroy trees.
The dying trees were marked for
Identification and treated. Proper
plant food was placed at their roots,
the ground was aerated, and the trees
were given plenty Of water to drink.
Then scientific pruning. was done to
establish balance between the tops
and the impoverished roof system.
Ten elements are required by every
plant, whether it be a tree or stalk
of corn. One element Is taken from
the air and absorbed into the tree
through the leaves by breathing
process, similar to that Of an animal.
The other nine elements come out
of the soil Under artificial city con-
ditions Jome OF these elements are
prematureiy exhausted. and it then
becomes jile ree surgeons task to
MAKE an analysis. and 20 supply the
