Stealing Adams Stuff

The British boys club leader who announced' the
other day that his modern boys all too often
corrupted and egged on to such high crimes pet
ting and cigaret smoking by the modern girls may
have issued a social diagnosis of greater import
than he reckoned
Only yesterday it seems, girls being eau
toned by anxious mamas on what they should do to
keep amorously inclined young men in their proper
places This, says the British protector of good
boys morals, is changed, and youths must be
instructed how to deal with the modern girl. The
agitation for single standard of morals has rel
suited not in bringing men up to the elevated moral
plane once occupied by sanity womanhood but in
bringing wcmanhood down to- below, the plane
occupied by men, says the boys protector.
Whether not there is truth in these utterances,
no mere male in America would dare say in the
presence of his womenfolk, for fear of having his
hair pulled. The charges have however. familiar
ring, and smack somewhat of passing the buck.
Wasn't it Adam who declared that Eve was respon-

Claus received editorial assurances that have since
become part of the classic literature of hope and
optimism.
A little girl who recently wrote to a casting d.
rector in Hollywood asking if there was hope for
a job in moviedom has received advice to stay at
home. The casting directors letter, made public
in a movie distributors magazine, is literature Of
dark despair. but it deserves lasting fame none the
less.
"There are $4,000 men, women and children in
Hollywood looking for work in the movies" writes
the casting director, who then gives figures to show
that only 40 Of them can be used on an average
day. and that few of the $4,000 make $25 week.
III it is riches you SEEK" writes the director,
"you will have better chance if you bet all your
money so to shot at the races. If you want
fame, jump off the Brooklyn bridge. You have u
better chance to land safely than you have to be-
come moving picture star.
mo matter what other profession you choose,
you will have better chance to gain the top in it
than you will in motion pictures. Try banking, or
surgery, or singing engineering, or flying-any-
thing will give you better return your invest
