MODERN youth IS
S70U7LY DEFENDED
Women's Clubs Federation
Speaker Upholds Them

San Antonio. June S Rl-Modern
youth was stoutly defended here
today by Mrs. Laura Kuykendall Of
New York, who told the biennial
convention OF the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs that the
slang phrase apple sauce was the
younger generations triumphant
rejection of the hokum which once
fooled parents.
Our youth OF today is less credu-
lous, less crudely suggestible, keen
er to detect insincerity and hokum
than formerly" she said.
Their minds go straight to the
bottom OF things. Youth is too keen
to be misled by the things that mis-
led the older generations. The old
hokum of spurious religion does not
appeal to them. The old hokum of
convention does not appeal to them.
but they are susceptible to much
new hokum-jazz music, petting
and silly nonsense and rough and
direct laughter"
Mrs. kuykendall found many
things to criticize in youth of to-
day, but she was optimistic as to
the future.
Eighty per cent OF our girls are
under weight" she said. They are
slightly anemic: the majority of
obstetrical cases today are patho-
logical and we would do we'll TO
study this problem with all serious
ness. 1t Is really an occasion for
alarm to be told by physicians that
4 normal birth is rare
Excessive use of cosmetics is bad
and our modern girls are most in
temperate on that point. However,
athletics has done much for our
boys and the greater hygiene OF
bobbed hair and short skirts for our
girls has helped. We should keep
these things.
Youth is physically more fit to-
day. This is especially true Of our
boys and l think it is true of our
girls too. although the immediate
fashions are not conducive to robust
health.
IL 10 lily pcIitl tIldL lIib ullltE-
ence between modern youth and the
youth Of your day is, at the point
Of relation between sexes, a purely
superficial difference. Undoubtedly
there is more petting and there is
far greater frankness and freedom
OF speech and deed than before,
but l believe our youth of today IL
just as virtuous rs ever. Youth is
more free but no more licentious.
Whatever defects appear in our
younger generation can be traced
directly to a lack of proper home
surroundings and parental dis
elimination. We are responsible. We
have made their world. On our
shoulders lies the blame"
Most OF yesterdays session was
devoted to American citizenship
problems. Mrs. Edward Franklin
White of indianapolis. chairman of
the law observance division, report
ed that the clubs of the federation
have been almost unanimous In
their support Of the prohibition law.
Her declaration that the federation
has stood like the rock of Gibral-
tar for the principles. possibilities
and permanency Of prohibition. ''
aroused the most vigorous applause
the convention has yet known.

DERHAPS you recall reading in the news
L papers the case of Gretchen, the girl Sphinx
1t was the piteous, sordid story of girl who
put poison in her fathers coffee and then,
throug oh a long drawn>out trial, steadfastly
refused to utter single word in her own
defense, preferring to take whatever punish
ment the court decreed rather than describe
to the Jury the terrible details of the soul
destroying life he had forced upon her.
You read of her conviction and Incarceration
and there, so far as the public was concerned,
the story ended.
But really it was only the beginning -t the
opening episode Of one Of the most amazing
human dramas ever enacted.
