Cure for Endurance Fad Aimed
 at Parents Of Boys

Chicago. July 4 GP)-The old reli- able statutes, which may be depend ed upon to provide a don't" for al most everything that anyone might want to do, have finally provided a cure for tree-sitting.
 Careful search of the law has un- covered no specific ruling against tree sitters, but it has found a rule striking at fathers and mothers of tree sitters, which amounts to the same thing.
 Carl J. Appell, assistant corpora ton counsel had discovered that parents may be fined S1O0 and sent to jail for three months for allowing their children 10 endanger their lives and limbs. The law is dusty with age, but still it's the law.
 Police today were to be given or ders to get the boys out of the branches by nightfall. The only tree sitter who viewed the threatened police invasion without alarm was Steve Makowski. who is 19 years old and therefore outside the authority of the juvenile officers. Besides he has an attorney all ready to get a writ of injunction.
