LISTEN, WORLD!
By ELSIE ROBINSON

ITO hell with everyone"-a
bad, bitter taunt for a girl of
II to leave behind. But was she,
alone, to blame for that taunt?
She wanted fun? But that
was natural. Any healthy young
thing wants fun-needS fun.
She wanted excitement-adven-
ture - danger. She rebelled
against monotony and repres-
sion and shabby living. That
was also. natural. Precious quail
ties, all those, if rightly guided.
BUT WE'RE THEY?
Her dad did his best. BUT
WHAT COULD HIS BEST"
ACCOMPLISH IN THE FACE
OF THE WORLD WHICH YOU
AND I HAVE BUILT FOR IT.
YEAR-OLD GIRLS TO IN
HABIT?
She Wanted Fun
There she was, wild for life. =.
and what sort Of life did she see
pictured in the talkies, in the
sensational magazines, in vi
cious, suggestive songs broad
cast freely over every radio.
What sort of life was dis
played to her avid senses as
she enviouSly watched rich
women batting Sugar Daddies
in hotel lobbieS. rich girls
carousing at speakeasies. be
ing carried, pie-eyed, into taxis?
She wanted fun and love and
jewels and dresses and excite.
ment. Those other women had
them all. She figured the
thing out crudely-could you
expect her to have any deep
insight at seventeen? What
price virtue? What price de-
cency and sobriety-early
hours, hard work? NO PRICE
IF YOU WANNA LAND
EN-, YOU GOTTA BE A
SNAPPY NUMBER, KID"
That was her philosophy.
BUT WHERE DID SHE GET
THAT PHILOSOPHY? AND
WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE?
ITO hell with everybody
that isn't a taunt-that'S an
arraignment. YOU AND l
ARE AT THE BAR!

Mr.. Kelley Discusses
School Construction
Editor, Times:

EuLLOTS HCCS'
OF recent date I asked,
through the medium of your
paper, whether or not the work
on the new schools was being
properly inspected. And I di-
rected my inquiry to Mr.. Har-
ris. The answer was the news
paper announcement of the
collapse, due to high winds
hitting the iron work. of one
of the schools under construc-
ton.
Another school must have
gotten jealous of the ineffi-
cient and Shoddy construction
work and not to be outdone
had a touch of the disease
called collapse. This disease
is contracted when one is inoc-
ulated with the germs dubbed
economy, favor and low wages;
causing incompetent supervis-
ion and inefficient non-resi-
dent constructors and contrac-
tors.
A recent article in The
Times, presumably by some
one of authority said that "the
inspectors should have noti-
fled the contractors of the
overlooking" The author of
that article had nothing to do
with it in the manner and
way expressed. It was the
duty of the representatives of
the contractors. Why try to
place the blame on an under
paid inspector? The blame
rightfully belongs in the mu-
nicipal architects office on the
ones who stamped their ap-
proval on inefficient and ire
Sponsible individuals.
I asked, in a former article
printed in your paper, what
The Washington times., 1931-05-13

They found her, hanging
from a tree.
Her pretty head was twisted
sidewise, like broken birds
painted lips, distorted
Beneath the cheap, pink
lacquer of her finger nails was
a rim of deeper red-shreds of
human flesh, torn from some
mans face in that last desper-
ate struggle. So poor little
Louise Teuber came to the end
of her reckless search for joy.
At home, there were letters.
One to her dad. She'd wanted
fun boy friends par
ties lots of new dresses.
But Dad had insisted on early
hours, had questioned her
friends, had tried to hold her
down." So she wrote him a
letter, saying she was going
away-that she couldn't stand
the way he tried to run the
house" And another note, to
her sister, complaining, but
limiting at gay times to come.
And signed-"U. S. WHOOP-
PEEEEE!" Then, across the
margin scrawled-
ITO HELL WITH EVERY
ONE"
Her Trivial Armor
After she had written that,
she went out and bought some
cheap finery-a lace brassier
for the defiant young breast.
chiffon stockings for the rest
less feet. Trivial armor with
which to face her tragic bout
with Fate! Then she dlsap-
peared. Somebody saw her late
at night, with a man. Next
day they found her hanging
from the tree.
And maybe you'll say she got
what she deserved. A bad girl
like that, who wouldn't mind
her father-who only wanted to
make whoopee. Perhaps you're
right. I'm not trying to defend
her. Undoubtedly, I would
have been as bored by her silli-
ness, as exaSperated by her
wildneSs, as you. And yeti
can't help but wonder over that
last. defiant message
ITO hell with everyone!
U. S. Whooppeeee."

ONCE-OVERS
On MOdesty

On MOdeSty
Your modesty is a matter of
pride with you.
Thus, a virtue becomes a
vanity-you are proud of your
modesty as some persons are
proud of their good looks, their
family, their position in society
or their popularity among
friends.
You have little use for vain
persons and like to say so.
You often express yourself as
not permitting yourself to dis
play pleasure which some folk
seem to gain from the good
opinion they have of them
selves.
No, you are too modest for
that, yet, what is it, if not salts.
faction, that you gain when you
constantly set forth your
modeSty.
Modesty when supported by
real merit seeks no credit.
In which case modesty has
some real value.
But your kind of modeSty may
be the result of your not hav-
ing personality enough 70 pre-
sent your own good points ad-
vantageouSly-you can't sell
yourself to others.
If you were sure Of yourself
in the presence of others would
you be as modest, as you pro-
claim yourself to be?
Most people are modest when
they don't know how to be
otherwise.
Very often these same per-
sons are really suffering for ap-
probation expressed by others
and dare not say so and that
is not real modesty.

Why Cancel War Debts?

(Reprinted from the Atlanta GeorgiqnJ
The international bankers constantly busy with their
propaganda urging the cancellation OF foreign war debts to
the United States
Speaking at Salt Lake City recently Reed smoot chairman
of the United States Senate Finance Committee strongly op
posed the proposition which is advanced periodically by
strong financial interests
Senator pointed out that there invested in
FOREIGN countries or loaned foreign governments
900 900 of American money Of this amount 64o
represents owed to this country should not
forgot that the United States settled the of the
foreign war the basis of about 81 cent of the
amounts actually owed.
Generosity no further IN that direction without
working positive injustice citizens who still
without some $600000O000 advanced to the Government in
the purchase of Liberty and other bonds
Senator smoot sees no for cancellation of foreign
debts but many valid why that should not be done
Thoughtful Americans will heartily agree with him in this

DR.. Sharp!

We Thank You,
DR.. Sharp!
Editor. Times:
You are to be complimented
on having such far-sighted men
on your sports editorials as
Mr.. Kirk Miller. His editorial,
which appeared Saturday, May
2, entitled "Once Every Year."
ought to be inserted in every
Hearst paper and every paper
outside of the organization,
with the hope that his thought
might sow a seed in reality,
that the President of the United
States would invite some Ameri-
can boy, every year on or
about this time, to Washing
ton and do for that boy the
same thing he is doing for
Bryan Untiedt.
Just a believer in boys, feel
ing certain that a lot of them
won't be bootleggers, and again
complimenting you on Mr..
Miller's editorial on May 2.
