Mother and Daddy had been try ing to grow front lawn for three years. Each spring fresh seed had been sown and each fall the grass was a sorry sight.
 We simply cannot get our lawn started. With these children 1t is imposslble,n said Mrs. Blank. They have lots of room in the back yard to play. but they insist upon rolling and tumbling right here. We sprinkle it every day but it never really has chance to grow.
 Sonny, come herel For the last time, Pm telling you and the boys to stay off that grass. The first one Iscatch on it will go out of the yard for the rest of the dayl"
 As soon as Mrs. Blank and went into the house, the boys were back on the lawn again They were unafraid because Mothers throat was an old one. She might just as well have added, q don | mean "a word say"
 When. left. they were trying to outdo each other at somersault3 all over the grass. very healthful exercise for young boys but most unhealthful for a young lawn. Yet they had a spacious place all their own for such play and upon it was a newly built aeroplane and an i'm provised tent.

COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo. Oct. 20.-Today's world is the most interesting for girls that hi5- tory has ever known, but it is also fraught with confusion and dangers, Jane Deeter Rippin, na- tional director of Girl Scouts. re- ports to the organization nat,on- al council.
 we are living and working for young people in great period of social change-a period when air planes dare the painless and the untried as did Elizabethan ships, when technology, business, science and new ideas in education are making before our eyes a new world" she says in report pre- pared for submission to the coun- cil's convention here.
 "The girl of ability and charac- ter who has been fortunate in her home atmosphere and her cdg- cation has the opportunity today to make a life for herself which queens of the past would have envied Great numbers of oui girls arc going ahead, using in the best sense their new opportunities anud building ID an inner disci- pllne and control. But the task is difficult "
 Proof that Girl Scout environ ments are meeting the life needs of girls is in the membership fig mes. she says, IT out of every l 1000 girls between the ages of 10 and IS in the United States being scouts in 1927 a3 compared to 12 girls in a thousand in 1925.
 By observing girl at her tasks, on the trail and in other scouting activities the wise leader will find opportunity for unobtrusive voca- tional guidance, she suggests.

ton with regard 10 the front lawn?
 Mother suggested that they point out the unreasonableness of this state of affairs to the boys, in- stead of threatening punishment that never was inflicted, and then enlist their interest by getting the boys to help start the lawn again and take care of it. But Daddy had a more drastic plan. He said, "Ill teach them a lesson," In some heat he went cut into the back yard and deliberately overturned the aeroplane and tent; ill fact, he ihade general havoc.
 The boys arrived after the dam- age was done. They stormed in to mother, somebody's smashed our aeroplane and torn up our tentl"
 Said Father, who was waiting for them, Yes, boys. I know all about it. did 1t myself"
 The boys fell back astonlshed- how could Daddy do such thing!
 You see. boys. it seemed only fair that if you could destroy the lawn Mother and 1 were growing, we could destroy the things you were building"
 The plan worked The boys stayed off the lawn But Mother maintains that the boys have less just a little respect for Daddy since he lowered himself to de- stroy their property. She believes her plan would have been better for all concerned. Daddy un- doubtedly admits-to himself 1t would have been very difficult to do that bit of destruction had his anger not been the urge.
 The question is, can there be any sound value in the sort Of punishment which, to inflict, re- quires the lowering on ones self respect?

 Ex-Inspeetor Arrow suggests one criminal investigation department for the whole United States and one central records office for the registration of criminals instead of a multiplicity of police forces that often work at cross-purposes and fail to pool their resources and information.

That was fine evidence of

the hospital authorities de-
clared her only hope lay in
blood TRANSMISSION. We prefer
to stress acts of this kind which

man nature rather than the
many sordid and selfish deeds
which betray baseness and abb
normality of human nature.

SPEAKS HIS SPEECH

Richard l.. Metcalfe, demo-
cratic candidate for United
States senator from Nebraska,
launching his campaign, strikes
out in his characteristic way of
taking the people into his con-
fidence and letting them know
Just where he stands and what
he hopes he may be able to do
Those who have known Ricn-
ard L. Metcalfe for years, as
we have, know that frankness
and candor are dominant notes
of his character. He also de-
lights in finding what he deems
vulnerable spots in the armor
of an opponent. This trait is
quite apparent in his thrusts at
Senator Howell, whom he be-
lieves should have as his pri-
vate secretary a Nebraskan
and not an fastener; should
work for Nebraska, not play
politics at Nebraska's expense,
nor "aspire to shine as CEN
trail star in the political firma-
ment' or "try to solve every
problem that happens to con-
front mankind" neither does
he think that his republican
opponent should use the influ-
ence of his office ito throw in
to the hands of receiver a
great tram system.
In making these thrusts at
his republican opponent, the
democratic candidate declares
that his attitude in all these
matters will be directly oppos-
tie to that of his opponent.
Mr.. Metcalfe states it as his
belief that Nebraska senators
should do what other senators
do in looking after the interests
of their own state and pledges
himself to do that. Standing
by the Houston platform and
democratic principles Mr.. Met
calfe promises to work with
whoever may be elected for
the best interests of the coun-
try as his conscience and judg-
ment may dictate. He sums up
his position and desires in the
following statement: My
highest ambition will be to
have the regard and affection
of the people of my state be-
cause of the constructive serv-
ice | will give to Nebraska, the

let alone regarding the 18th, 18th and
18th amendments and the north is to
be let alone regarding the 18th
amendment. Then, where will the
colored American be? The constitu-
tional rights of the Negro rest on the
war amendments. With a president
committed to the doctrine of States
rights" and QUALIFICATION, APP
pointing judges of the United States
district courts and the supreme court
of the United States, what chance will
the Negro have as citizen?
After notification shall have be-
come the order in America, repeal
will follow. Under the Smith plan
and deal four amendments would be
taken from the constitution. First
the 18th, then the 18th, 14th and
18th. And the Negro would be back
where he was when John C. Calhoun,
champion of Negro slavery, said !:
"Show me Negro who can conjugate
Grek verb and l will show you
Negro who has soul"
The hope of the Negro, the hope of
America, indeed, lies in the mainte-
nance of the national constitution in
the field of social and moral action az
well as in the field of law and eco
Monies.
The Negro leaders in many fields
of endeavor have already taken the
position that the whole constitution
should bee nforced, the 18th amend
ment and the 18th, 18th and 18th
amendments, embodying, as they did
and do the moral aspiration and con-
science of the NATION.
In this tremendous struggle, the
mere matter of the ability to imbibe
''spirits frumenti'' is of small mo-
ment, almost obscured by the ques
ton of having sufficient liberty to
imbibe at all.
In connection with the issues in
volved, we have the personalities of
the presidential aspirants, with THEN
origin, their background, their men
tai, moral and social development and
their grasp of national and interna-
tional problems.
We now know one state of facts
Hoover stands for the integrity of
the whole constitution throughout
the nation; Smith believes that some
parts of it should be enforced and
other parts nullified.
The Hoover philosophy was the
philosophy of Lincoln; and under that
philosophy chattel slavery was ban
ished from the land; the Smith
philosophy was that under which
John c. Calhoun became famous,
and through which slavery endured.
The principle has not changed. For
the moment the eighteenth amend
ment has been thrust forward,
but the doctrine of states rights
means now what it always meant
denial of liberty to the Negro who
stands in greatest need of it.
1t it on these questions which the
Negro is to vote in November. To
him it is the most important election
in the United States since 1860. Let
him remember that Lincoln and Sum-
ner, and Douglas and Garrison and
Phillips are dead; their voices stilled
and their successors silent. The Ne
