Sometimes Parents Are Right, After All

What do you think Of this nice

Ii never could have been true
ten years ago, could IL?
Sons have left high school be-
fore now and grammar school,
too, but very. very few of them
have had their fathers arrested
before they disappeared.

Will Son make a very good
mechanic, and earn money, save
it and invent something useful
to make the wheels go round
faster? Will he get rich, marry
a nice girl, build a fine house,

smart new car and say TO his
Father:

Or will he be impudent 70 the
chief mechanic, lose his job,
then get another and be "too
smart" lose that and get an
other job and lose that-and
will he dream Of the corned beef
and cabbage and the boiled po-

bedroom and his two good suits
OF clothes? Will he 20 home
and ask his father to forgive
him and il he does will Father
forgive him. or will there be
another thrashing - and then
what?

Father or Son?
I'm sorry for Father. He's
older and it's harder for him.
After all, he was just trying TO
do the best he could for his
son.
I'm sorry for Son, too-it GER
tainly must be hateful to feel
that you're a full-sized man and

boss you every minute of your

comes to wearing the proper materials and more
comfortable styles during the dog days?
The Summer just past has been, in the East
particularly, one of the hottest, most humid and
altogether most enervating on record.
Alert minds became dull; innaginations, other
wise active and fiery, simply didn't function;
reasoning was blurred; memory Jagged; concen-
tration was difficult and physical e~xertion some
times correspondent to actual torture.
Most any observant male must have noted
these changes in himself. He must have been
struck by his decided lowering of efficiency from
the heat, not to mention his own personal
discomfort.
How many, / wonder, realized that their
clothes had a lot to do with making bad matters
decidedly worse.
