Lovejoy thought that over

about buying the little Stallings

Youth 'ReyOltS' Early

A scientist at the recent Des Moines convention arose
and solennly announced that the revolt Of youth
usually begins during the high school age. At that
point. he said. a young person begins to be irked by
authority. and takes up arms against it.
This conclusion, he added. was gained as a result OF
studies made Of some thousands of public school and
college youngsters.
Maybe it's all very scientific. but We insist that the
gentleman doesn't know what he's talking about. The
revolt OF youth begins just as soon as the youth in ques.
ton is able to crawl around the floor. If youv We ever
tried to get a dish of spinach down a child of three
who didn't want to cat it. or tried to induce q toddle:
to go up to bed when that fodder had other ideas on
the subject, you'll know at once what we mean.

The Submarines Usefulness

Submarines. evidently, will play a big part in the COM
ing naval conference at London. England and the Uni
ted States would abolish them; France and Japan want
to keep them. 1t will take much patient negotiating to
reconcile these divergent views.
We arc inclined to wonder. now and then, If the I'M
portancc of the submarine as a naval weapon is not
exaggerated. In the World War Germanys submarines
clamped a tight blockage on England: but in the end.
England and America found q. way to cope with them.
The submarine menace steadily diminished from the
summer of 1917 on.
We have a notion that i'll any future war the submarine
will be found a less efficient weapon than many people
suppose.

said . would drop OF tho train
