NEW YORK, July 29.-The old

 'Of all the persons in the world who is the most misera ble, the most worthy of the sympathy of respect ed people. is the young person who doesn't do his own thinking, who allows the crowd to think for him. He is the fellow who Is the most de- plorable.
 What fine thing it Is to find a young person who has the courage or his own convictions and the will power to back them up. The young person today doesn't need to take otf his hat or do homage to the ages Of the past, but for the young person who is able to think for him self the road to the future looms straight ahead with the doors of possibility and unlimited opportuni- ties open on all sides.

ATTACKS
 MERCURY EDITOR
Calls Him Enemy of Democratic
 Ideals

Brooklyn, N. Y. Oct. r (UP)- H. L. Mencken. editor of the Ameri- can Mercury. was attacked as an enemy of democratic ideals by the Rev. James NJ. Gillis, Paulist father and editor of the Catholic World. in an address to the Knights of Colum bus.
 The Catholic divine also spoke in uncomplimentary terms of Mus solini's manner of Italian govern ment.
 Mencken's writings were termed Continual vicious, vile and deter mlned expression of disdain and dis gust for all democratic principles. Father Gillis cited the following list of terms from Mencken's book. Notes on Democracy:
 "Booboisie. the city moron, coun- try yokels, righteous clodhoppers, minds of Dayton. Tenn, anthrapoidal proletariat' and Mencken's assertion that American people were sheep, goats, donkeys and jackasses."
 The principle involved is that you and l and the mass of men are a crowd of boobs and should not have the right of suffrage" he said. But if boobs are to be dis franchised, say let us continue the process and also deprive the shrewd capable, intellectual fellows of their right to vote. They are working more harm towards democracy than anyone else"

RUTH ELDER WALkS'
 OVER PLANE IN AIR
Refuses to Have Horta Barber
 Cut Her Hair

Horta. Island of Fayal, Azores
 Get, r tP(-Ruth Elder has "snub-
 bed' the town barber.
 The American aviatrix who start ed on flight from New York to Paris with a pastel-tinted bandeau over her rebellious brown hair. was
 introduced to the barber yesterday
 by her copilot of the lost "Ameri-
 can Girl" George Haldeman, who
 had decided she needed her hair
 trimmed.
 The aviatrix refused the barbers
 services. Haldeman tried to per
 suade her, but Miss Elder stuck to
 her guns" declaring her hair must
 now grow onward" and that she Is 1 through with bobs.
 Another chapter in the story of Mss Elders heroism during the ill., fated flight was added during a day of receptions and laudations Before their descent to the sea 360 miles from land last Thursday. it became known, Miss Elder had her courage tested in a breath-taking manner. The fliers had been driving their plane. even then slowed down by defective oil line, through sleet storm. The tail of the plane. on which heavy coating Of sleet had formed, became too heavy for the plane to be kept on an even keel. Something had to be done to right this. There was some gasoline stor- ed in the tail of the plane-a reserve supply to be used in an emergency. ! Haldeman and Miss Elder gravely consulted each other as to what should be done. They decided that the reserve supply of gasoline would have to be jettisoned.
 They then took turns at the stick while one or the other crawled along the icy fuselage of the plane, then flying over the tossing Atlantic, and threw overheard some Of the re- serve supply.
 Ruth took her turn at crawling along the fuselage without tremor, it was related, and this chore ac- complished, returned to do her shift at the stock.

 Miss Elder and Haldeman had luncheon in the cable company's mess room, where the American residents kept them so long telling of their adventure that the fliers were prevented from accepting the invitation of the British consulate to have tea there.

baggage" He said many young people today are carrying excess baggage of another type.
 They don't see how superficial some of this baggage is. They fail to realize many of these things are not essential" he added.
 Often some of the excess baggage modern day youth is carrying has been unloaded unto them by their elders Who ought 10 know better
 "Whcre are they going? Whom with? How will they react to life? God has given to every human be- ing a life, what is to become of it? It depends on the possessor of that life.
 Man is reasoning, thinking choosing animal. The advantage of this is that he is free moral agent This situation also is fraught with danger.
 One of the dangers is the atti- tude of modern youth. no more keen or fragrant than it was with their parents to float with the current, let others do their thinking, think with the crowd.
 II would rather see a young per son think for himself even if once in awhile he did show poor judg- ment. Even then he wouldn't do any worse than his elders have done.
 Take a street with IS houses on it all alike. What does it look like? Won Nf bar 1 4 before you find the right house. People who build houses alike seem to be poured out of the same mould.
 Take another street where the houses express the individuality and personality of the occupants. That also is true of some people.
 T hear young men say, Well, the fellows all do it, I don't see why l can't Such a person is beginning to allow to die out the privilege of acting and thinking for himself.
 T have a lot of respect for peo- pie who will stand up for their own convictions and for what they think is best. Let me quote you a para graph from Little Leads to Leader ship by Frank Cheley:
 Dare to live your own life. Dare to think your own thoughts. Dare to possess personal convictions. so- cial, political, religious. Dare to stand on your own feet-row your own boat-eXperiment, investigate, inquire. Dare 10 defy the whole world, if the still small voice within prompts you to swim against the stream.

If you can't do that, then in Heavens name be a clam and shut up.
 If a persons chooses to let the crowd think for him, no power on earth can stop him. But, it is also impossible for that person to go on that way forever without coming up against some of the sign posts of warning on the highway of life,
