Ethical principle is shaped early in life and
the development of its integrity is the respon-
Sibility of the parents. Its Importance cannot
be denied when we realize that the right princi-
pies determine the course of ones life.
Weakening Of our ethical principles is the
big factor in this great crime wave, and it may be
directly traced to faulty training in the home.
We cannot expect crime to disappear until
we realize the importance of moral principle in
youth.
A proper and sufficient conception of respon=
sibility of parenthood of our nation, is the one
main agency that will deliver posterity from a
condition that at this time is appalling.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-09-25

When all parents make it their business to
see that their children receive the proper train
ing in the home and develop the right principle
that goes with it; and see that their children
educated mentally, spiritually and physically,
then, and not until then, will conditions change!
In other words, whether it is ignorance or
indifference, the parents responsibility is to lay
the right foundation for the right principle in
youth future business men and women
of our nation.

LITTLE BENNY
ny LEE PAPE.

Ma took me for q ride in the Spar
row this afternoon after skool, and all
Of a sudden there was Q Suspicious noise
sounding like one Of the tires puncktur-
ing itself.
Being just what 1t was, and ma drove
up to the cerb and stopped, saying. o
deer have no more ideer how to change
a wheel than the man in the moon.
wouldent know how to start, and I'm
sure Id never finish. Well, according to
the theoretical rules of the road, If q
woman has a fiat tire all she has to do
Is stand there and look in deep distress
and some man will infallibly immeeditly
change 1t for her, she sed.
And she got out Of the car and stood
alongside Of the fiat tire poking one
finger into 1t with a sad expression, and
about 5 men wawked pass and looked at
her as II they thawt 1t was q intristing
site and kepp on going. and sed, May
be you don't look in distress enough, ma
think Ill get the munkey rentch, ma
sed. A woman holding a munkey rentch
is rather distressing thing to see, she
sed.
And she reeched in the tool case and
got the munkey rentch and stood there
looking at it doubtful, and some more
men dident stop going pass, me saying,
q WIZ, ma, nobody's stopping.
Are you trying to tell me some news
by any chance? ma sed. Meening she
knew it herself, and she started to hit
the outside of the wheel with the mum
key rentch to make sounds, and some
man stopped and looked at her awhile,
saying, Having trubble, madam?
Well little, bleeve, ma sed. seem
to have a decidedly fiat tire and I feer
that changing wheel Is not quite one
OF my accomplishments. she sed. and
the man sed. see, well there's a garage
about blocks fertilizer up the street.
And he kepp on going as II he had
did all the duty he was going to do.
Being short man with long mus
fash and ran to the garage and the
man came and changed the wheel and
ma payed him for It.
Proving there's always q way to get
something done even II its not the most
popular way.

SPRINGTIME
BX D. c. REArTIE.

At Just this jocund time of year,
some IL years ago, cut my botany
class, as the boys and girls call it, and
armed with my new and crackly
manual (now a dog-eared ruin) went
out in the fields to meet little botany
first hand. away from the smells of
the laboratory and the leftover of the
dissecting microscope. And one of the
first flowers I met was the grape
hyacinth, Muscari racemosum.
It took me an hour of painstaking
work to track down this really very
simple little flower to its neat compart-
nerlt, boxed-in by Latin, but my Joy
was great when at last I had arrived
there, and no mistake about it.
The description in the book of clus-
ters of small jug-shaped blue-purple
blossoms with heavy odor was unmis-
taxable. But why did those dis
tinguished gentlemen, the editors, call
it musk-scented? Years later, in q
book written by a woman, I saw the
odor of the grape-hyacinth described
as like the smell OF a baby's mouth"
Only a woman, / own, would make
this comparison, and since becoming
a parent I grant that it is brilliant.
The little grape-hyacinth is album
dant now northwest Of Washington, and
though 1t is not an American native,
it is none the less lovable for that. 1t
has, in the phrase of the botany books,
escaped from old gardens" and am
very glad it ran away for GypSy's
life. For it is not often grown in
gardens of today, and, though we
have much finer gardens than our
grandmothers knew in their child
hood - the blossoms bigger and
brighter and more prolific-we prob
ably get no more JOY out OF them than
did ladies in crinolines and gentlemen
with ruf1ed sleeves out of their prim
flower beds, where, with squill and
hyacinth and asphodel and star-of-
Bethlehem, the little grape-hyacnth
grew.
The fora of the District boasts also
one other species of grape hyacinth,
but it has been found only on Plum
