When the youngsters fall short, they get the idea tat they are terrible, sinful people almost un- worthy to live.
 And ask you-is that any way to nurture self-respect? To have an idea that one is vile Is terrible thing. and yet a tremendous num- Der of children have it.

 societies we have for boys and girls.
 And he stressed this idea of 1n- feriority, born of the societies codes

And if I don't make good I'll be fired. But you all know that there isn't extra money floating around our house. The newspapers played up the Cinderella end of the story pretty well.'

 s
But He Will Have No Un- usual CelebratiOn-WilI Spend Day at Work in Office

Washington, April II - (UP) - Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes observed his birthday today in a manner befitting his 69 active years in public life. He will spend the day, which beckons thousands to the countryside. closeted with his eight associate justices, whipping into shape a number of complicated court opinions to be handed down Monday noon.
 Unlike many other members of he bench, Hughes is not spending tn" day so in order to avoid the lime light of attention. On that score he has retired from public life scarcely at all since assuming the bench lit- tie more than year ago.
 His strict attention to duty is at : tributed chiefly to his inability to leave work undone. And the supreme court Is a busy place just now. As it's head Hughes has had to carry on the tradition which has been built up in his lifetime. He must keep things running smoothly in order to avoid any snarl which might throw pending litigation into a tangle.

Due to the depression which has been in evidence here for the past year and more competition among produce dealers has become very mo- ticeably keen. Local merchants have organized for a campaign against unlicensed dealers, aiming particu-. larly at out of town men, who buy second hand produce in New York city and other places and endeavor to sell it here. The fight will be car ried on even if it is found necessary to ask federal. government aid when enterprisjng grape merchants at- tempt to reap harvest here and obtain the cream of the trade with out paying a penny of assessment. When one considers that more than $500,000 worth of grapes are sold here annually the battle for the pa- tronage becomes a very important one. It's a seasonal proposition and competition is sufficiently brisk among local merchants without the presence of out of towners. accord ing to the claims being made.
