When a woman is feeling blue
or discouraged she can always
go to the nearest beauty parlor
and have her spirits lifted and
her vanity re-charged.
For a man, finesse in love
consists in knowing intuitively
when the psychological moment
has arrived to take the first
kiss; for a woman, in knowing
when the ultimate moment has
arrived for the last kiss.
Tears make a bachelors
heart shrink, but nothing will
make his love fade so quickly
as too sunny a smile of encour-

Romance spread her wings

Twenty-Five years ago, to-

THE HITCH : HIKER
MENACE

The hitch-hiker is beconn-
inp more and more unpopular.
And there is small wonder,
especially in Washington
where motorists have had so
many sad and costly exper-
fences with these thumb tour
lists. It often seems selfish
and hard-hearted to turn
down the ride beggars, but
that is the only safe and sens
ible thing to do.
How is one to know wheth-
er the hitch-hiker is an limo
cent pedestrian, merely look
inc for a lift, or whether he
is a prospective criminal seek
ing an opportunity to rob or
even murder the motorist
who befriends him? The
hitch-hiker, darting out on
the streets and highways to
beg rides, is a traffic menace
of the worst sort. Then, too,
if he is given a ride and the
car is wrecked he usually loses
no time in suing his benefact-
or for damages.
Three states have passed
laws prohibiting hitch-hiking
and similar legislation is be-
ing considered by a number
of others. Whether the hitch
hiking nuisance can be sue
cessfully controlled by law re-
mains to be seen. But there is
one sure way to end it. 1t
every motorist will consistent
~ pass up persons who loiter
along the streets and roads
begging rides the nuisance
will be eliminated in a hurry.

SAVING OUR YOUTH

Even a community where
Everybody swims" is not nee
essarily a community where
"everybody's SAFE" The Red
Cross has gathered statistics
that show it is among young
men between the ages OF ID
and 35 that most deaths from
drowning occur. Because they
are young, active and adven-
turous, they go into the wa
ter fearlessly, with a false
sense of security. But when q
dangerous cir c u m s t q n G e
arises, they frequently are
without knowledge of how to
save themselves or their COM
panions.
The community and the ma
ton can i'll afford to lose
these splendid young lives.
But they will continue to be
sacrificed wherever people
are permitted to battle in un-
protected places.
The primary purpose OF the
Red Cross campaign here is
to make the joy-giving and
health-giving water : sports
safe for all. Every citizen and
particularly every parent will
welcome the opportunity to
help make so fine an enter
prise a success.

city life that will be theirs?" asks ! the President. And he believes that i the answer is to be found in the children of a New Generation New Americans-a generation So trained that it's environment, it's morals, it's schooling and its mor- als will create the brains, the cour- age the character to cope with the new order. of things and new prob lems.
 MT. Hoover believes that the re- cent Child Health Conference was a start towards the new order of things. But he believes this con- ference in order to be effective must be followed by a series of State conferences, group meetings and individual town and city con- ferenees if the Charter for Chil- dren" is to be actively drawn into the activities of government ana social institutions.
 The President believes that a perfect new generation would do much to lessen the problem of the young criminal.
 There are more than 100000 criminals in our Federal and State prisons, and there are that many more criminals at large who should be behind bars. Most of our na- tive criminal class are products of city slums.
 No Criminal Class
 If the character and quality and health of these children were watched and nurtured, criminal class of child would not develop. It would be difficult to estimate what the single item of adequate playground facilities would mean in the bringing up of normal city children"
 That ten years will see the start of this new generation, is the opinion of the President. It is, he thinks, still too easy to find money for other things than to find the wherewithal to create an intangi- ble thing like the protection and adequate upbringing of children The question of proper food is an other vital problem to the Presi. dent, for, according to the recent Child Conference, one hundred pel cent of all deficient children are simply the product of bad feeding And he thinks that health educa- tion must largely originate in the school through constant and ire quent health examination.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-Presi- dent Hoover is more interested in increasing peoples incomes than in worrying about their expenditures.
 When Frazier Hunt, the famous newspaperman, was invited by the President to dine with him at the White House he certainly was not prepared for the interview and conversation that was to follow. Tor the first time, Mir. Hoover has talked freely to Q newspaperman and permitted his words to be cuo.ed. And students of world af- fairs, soeiologists as well as ordi- rary men and women will find much Of interest in the interview which has just been published m ibe Cosmopolitan Ma gazlno.
 We spend more in this country, but We earn more, said the Presi- dent Ycu know, contrary to the cid maxim, it isn't so much what We spend that counts, it's what we earn Before we are a spending nation We are an earning nation"

 There is a certain type of in- d.vldual who .chides this country about cur ao-called 'standardiza- tion.' Well, I don't mind how much we standardize or what we stand- ardizes So long as everybody gets # and uses i le purpose nf standardiizng is to make thi,.gs cost less and to make tfem more accessible to everybody.
 Take bathtubs, 1 wouldn't care if every bathtub was exactly the same. if all people had them and would use them Its all right to stardardize so long as we stand arJize UP not Down"
 President Hoover believes that one generation of properly born, trained, educat cd and healthy children could cope with the prob lsnas that the changing world of science and invention is sure to ering, the changing world with new and changing problems that lies before us. The President wants tc know just what our grandchil- dren will do with the added leisure that new, efficient machinery and shorter hours of labor will give them.
