besides arranging the furniture and sleeping

THE younger generation today is pathetic
generation. It gets less affection and con1-
panionship from parents than any other genera
ton did. At heart the boys and girls are lonely.
They are given material things and allowed to do
what they want, but they know little of family
comradeship and devotion. Each child is encour-
aged to be completely independent and self -sufd-
cient His budding ego Is allowed to develop
as it will and he goes his way unthwarted
Parents are perfect to the child the first five
or six years. But after that they have no con-
ception of what parenthood means Between
the ages of and IA they don't give him the
companionship and guidance that he needs. A
mother will tell the child: You don't have to
give me mother love. Regard me just as you
would friend AS soon as she does that she
divorces the child from the greatest bond he
can know. The result is that youth is lonely
and tries to find some other way to assuage its
craving for love and companionship. BY the
time the child reaches the age Of 49, the parents
suddenly realize how far away he has grown
from them; they realize, too, how they them
selves are beginning to be lonely, and they make
desperate attempt to win the child back"
1t is because boys and girls are lonely, Miss
Perkins pointed out, that they are inclined TO
form serious attachments at early age.
But when these youngsters want to marry.
the parents dismiss it as 80 much puppy love.

girl safe and normal outlet Is frowned upon.

there is to know and can take proper care of
themselves. But their knowledge is SUPER
fcial and incomplete. They catch at some pop
ular misleading phrases and use them to justify
their conduct. II their information were really
scientific and thorough, they would not think
they could run the gamut of experience and
easily come of unscathed. They would realize
the dangers and consequences involved.
Certainly In day when it Is considered
smart to have gin and petting parties, boys and
girls need better protection than the knowl-
edge they get from popular fiction and psy-
chology books
But, even granted that they are we'll in
formed, why should parents assume that these
ardent, reckless youngsters are able to control
themselves that they can go off for long
night hours to unknown places and pet and
drink and yet stay within the bounds of pro-
priety? While I don't suppose we could bring
back the old chaperon, who certainly had her
uses, do think that the least the parents can
do is to be at the helm and guide youth
But parents today are too concerned with
their own pleasures and their own desires to
enlghten or discipline the boys and girls or to
see to 1t that they are occupied with whole
some interests They give them all the liberty
and spending money they want and tell them to
60 off and amuse themselves. They spoil them
and encourage them in laziness and extrava-
gance. They allow them to become lax In their
manners and don't give them any standards
OF good taste.
"Boys and girls are not trained for any of
the responsibilities of life. They are not pre-
pared for marriage. Parents do not try to
establish center for them in the home Con-

down to the old conventional life. But each
year sees it more determined than ever to live
and to love it pleases, while the still younger
generation at its heels eagerly follows in its
path.
With the newspapers now focusing attention
on a succession of young couples in parked
cars who have become victims of hold-ups and
murders, this problem of petting youth has
become an acute one. Many are beginning to
ask just where this freedom In love is leading
to. Has the lifting of taboos gained for youth
anything in the way of more satisfactory
life? Or is 1t just smokescreen for q dam
gerous license?
Grace Perkins, who writes skillfully of sophis-
ticated life well adolescent love, as is evi-
dent in such diverse types of books as Personal
Maid" "Ex-M Mistress" Might Nurse" and boy
Crazy" was emphatic in her disapproyal of the
petting indulged in by modern youth.
She discussed the subject with considerable
elan in the sitting room of her New York home.
She is a tall, lovely looking blonde with large
blue eyes, fawless skin and a cameolike pro-
file Dressed in rose-colored gown that was
trimmed with bands Of black fur, she presented
a striking picture. In private life she Is the
wife of Fulton Oursler, the playwright and edi-
tor, and they have one daughter.
4 Ass PERKINS, who rs herself q Young
tVi woman, knows youth its ways problems
and ambitions. 1t is more casual observation.
therefore, that makes her take q firm stand
against the liberty youth has in it's social reIa-
tionships, particularly as far as the girl Is
concerned.
"In the first place" she told the interviewer,
there Is the very important question Of good
taste and delicacy in living One should have
certain standards of conduct, especially when 1t
comes to the most personal of all human rela-
tions. Frequent indulgence In variety Of
meaningless affairs is bound to make one COM

WANTED-REAL HE-MEN!

Unless red -blooded men reassert
themselves and take charge as the
head Of household, the American
home as an institution is doomed,
according to Grace Perkins.
Men today seem to be of weak
caliber. They just sit back and let
the flood of feminism rise over
them.
Women of today are incapable of
management, either by training or
fitness. Look at the home and
marriage today as a result of her
management. Look at the ire
sponsible youngsters and the eff
Terminate boys
A woman cannot bring up boy.
She makes a nincompoop of him
and coddles him so much that he
cannot do any vital work in the
world.
The fault lies with the man. Just
to give a boy liberty and spending
money is to spoil him with laziness
and extravaganza.
Man must be the head of the
house and have the final authority.

balls. So again it's just a
matter of taking your choice.
The big advantage Of choke
hitting is that the hitter can
wait to see the pitch before he
swings. He isn't as easily
fooled by a change Of pace.
There's one fault with the
boy hitter here in the picture.
He's holding his bat too low
and too far forward. A fast
ball would be across the plate
before he could even get his
bat back to his shoulder.
Hold your bat back, but free
from the shoulder. Keep it
shoulder high until the pitch
starts. It's easier to shift down
for a low ball than it is to lift
your bat from the waist to the
shoulder to cut at a high fast
one.
All of which brings us back
to the same old thing. The
first rule in hitting Is to be
natural and free and easy. Babe
Ruth, Rogers HOrnsby, Lou
Gehrig, Babe Herman, Ty Cobb,
Eddie Collin S-all of them
pretty good hitterS you'll have
to admit. Yet no two of them
hit alike except for one thing.
They're all natural and easy up
there at the plate. Their styles
are their own but they're
natural styles.

Ever since I've been in the
big league, stories have been
written about my batting
stance. Maybe / do stand
queerly up there at that plate.
But it's my natural style and,
as I see it, the first word of ad-
vice to any hitter is to be
natural and easy up there at
the plate.
In this picture the yOungster
is using my own hitting style.
But there are other things to
note, too. He's using a long
bat to overcome that stepping
in-the-bucket business. Note,
too, that he's standing far back
in the box. That's to take the
ball after the break. There are
two types of hitters. One
stands up front in an effort to
hit the ball before it breaks.
The other group stands back
and gets the ball after the
break. Either style is Okay if
it's natural. I, personally, stand
back far because 1 think such a
hitter has a better chance
against faSt-baIl pitcher.
"SOme fellows crowd the
plate, others stand back from
it. The fellows who crowd are
usually "chOke" hitters. The
others are what we call free
swingers. The choke hitter is
apt to have trouble with inside
pitches. The other chaps will
have difficulty with outside

CENTRAL NINE.
LOOMS BIG
|NSER|ES
BY GINO SINH

With two wins salted away in
two starts and this Steve Thomp-
son kid looking better with each
new appearance, Central looms as
likely to nose out Eastern for the
interhigh school baseball title.
Yesterday with Emmett Buscher,
Centraps pitching ace, in un-
steady form, the Hillmen punched
their wallops on several memor-
able occasions to down Western,
12-4.
The Centralites took the often
sive by chasing over a run in
the first inning, mainly through
anemic fielding of the Western
erS.
Snappy Fielding
The Rauber outfit gave the
Georgetowners a snappy fielding
lesson when the Westerners
smashed out three hits in their
half of the first inning but
couldn't convey them into tallieS.
1t was a closely fought battle
up to the seventh inning, with
George Clarke, Western twirler,
handling himself well at all
times, and alert fieIders keep
ing Buscher out of trouble.
Clarke weakened in the seventh,
filling the bases, and Steve
Thompson decided that it was
time for him to play his role. A
vicious slash far out into left
field, went for a triple, clearing
the bases and breaking up the
ball game. Thompson drove out
a homer in the eighth. Western
tailed thrice in it's turn, and
Central augmented the score
with five more runs in the last
two frames to keep things
moving. Roy Yowell sparkled all
around for Western.
BatsOn Shines
Tech defeated Baltimore Poly
at Baltimore yesterday, 14-2, with
"Eggie" Batson turning in a two
hit performance and registering
IL strike-outs. The M anu a !
Trainers started off with a five
run splurge in the first inning,
and ended with another five-run
rally in the seventh. Russell,
Tech initial sacker, drove out a
homer.
Eastern High tracksters
trOunced the Maryland Fresh
men, IS to 81, yesterday, but
again felt the weakness of their
running department, in which
the Cubs OutscOred them, IS
to 28.
Georgetown Prep was no match
for Gonzaga diamonders, once
the latter warmed up to the
game. The PUPPIES won, 1l-2,
chalking up IA hits, while Cleary,
Eye Street hurler, allowed four
bingles.
While Central baseballers we're
having an easy time IN downing
Westerns hopefuls, the Western
netmen were getting even, hand
ing the Centralites a lopsided
81 licking, and practically tying
up the pennant for another year.
Central was considered Westerns
strongest foe.
Friends racquet wielders nosed

MAKING MONEY OUT OF
WAGE CUTS

We have repeatedly shown that the
injustice in wage cuts lies in the fact
that it is a way of making labor pay
twice. A prolonged depression such
as this has already cut labor's in
come 20 per cent in loss of work
In simple fairness, when business re-
sumes, it should be at previous rates
of pay. But this is not to be the
case, it appears. Under the guise OF
economic necessity, wages are being
slashed, despite the efforts of wise
and cool heads in the business world
And like every other transaction by
some bankers and industries, money
is being made out of cuts.
The justiication-if any-for wage
revision is the declining cost of living
But the cost of living has fallen
only 7 per cent.
While the smallest wage cut aver
age 10 per cent.
1t is a recorded fact that the 66a
wage cuts made in January and Feb.
ruary of 1881, averaged 1925 pei
cent. This does not describe ali OF
the picture. Professor William Leis.
erson is authority for the statement
that income to investors was 6 pei
cent higher in 1880 than in 1929
Wholesale commodity prices, reports
from Consumers Research, Inc, show
have fallen 20 per cent, while prices
show only per cent drop. This
indicates that large chain stores do
ing retail business made more money
in 1880 than in 1929, and business
reports support this statement.
What kind of business code is i
that allows business heads to spou
pious platitudes in public and thel
through series of manipulated wag'
cuts, make money out of the miser,
of millions?
