way to the woodshed with his dad, to OBJ
serve a rite that seems to have been lost
in recent years.
While the male portion of the family is
woodshed-bound, ma" and the boys Sis

shed trip-a Diamond Dick novel,
The caption on the picture is Born
Thirty Years Too Soon.
Thirty and more years ago, the height
of juvenile depravity was the pernicious
offense of reading nickel novels. Read
ing them was uniformly forbidden by
parents and they were just as uniformly
read by boys all over the country, in
barns, sheds, out at the swimming hole
and quite frequently in bed during the
late hours of the night.
The boy addicted to the reading of
nickel novels was bound directly for
prison here and hades hereafter. So
said the parents. Some of them got side
tracked enroute though. Theodore Roose-
velt, Nicholas Murray Butler, and John
]. Pershing might be mentioned as a few
of the thousands who got sidetracked.

anyone infamous. The nickel novel was
nothing like it was painted. The worst
sin was bravery and daring on the part
of its characters, exaggerated beyond all
sensible proportion. In its stories truth,
honor courage and the right. always tri-
umphed. Wickedness, cruelty, treachery
and cowardice might have the upper
hand for a while, but in the end they
were vanquished.
Compared to the trashy sex novels
available to the youth of today, and not
only available but widely read, the nickel
novel was as harmless as "Swiss Family
Robinson" or Robinson Crusoe". The
confession" magazines and others of
their ilk are deadly poison to youthful
minds. They appeal solely to passion
and passion should have no place in ado
lescent youth.
The nickel novel might justly be con-
sidered silly, but it always impressed
the moral lesson that right is to be sought
after and evil stunned. Right was her.
oic, wrong was cowardly. 1t did not, as
modern publications do, glorify the Grim
inality of the gangster.
While we may smile at the predica-
ment of the boy in Williams cartoon, our
sympathy is with him. He was more
wronged than guilty of wrong.
The relief bill having been signed,
many are going to be disappointed If
they don't have fat bank accounts in the

WASHINGTON, July 22.-One of

campaign difficulties. His troubles
were made somewhat more acute
when one of his colleagues charged
that he sometimes took a drink.
Word of the unpleasant challenge
was brought TO the campaigning
politician late at night.
The correspondent who brought
it found the candidate sitting on
the edge of his berth, clothed only
in his night shirt, pairing an apple.
The correspondent told him of
the charge. There was an oath.
The knife went flying into one
corner of the stateroom and the
apple into another. Comment was
refused.
Several hours later the cores
pondent was awakened by knock
on his stateroom door. The CAM
paigner, still in his night shirt,
was standing outside.

Seems like every animal boy anC

I'm sorry, Uncle Wiggily, but

"Oh, dearl' sighed Baby Bunty
Lets go to another store"
But it was the same at this
store, also. The jolly old Sea DOG
who kept it was all out of water
guns and would not have any more
for several days.
What are we going to do?'
asked Bunty.
Uncle Wiggily twinkled his pink
nose and said:
II have an idea, Bunty. First
of all we'll buy two rubber balls"
They're easy to get," said Bunty
Il saw some in the cat lady's toy
store window. But it takes more
than rubber ball to make water

II know it does," said the rabbit
But let's first get the rubber
balls"
When he had bought two of these
Uncle Wiggily made the holes in
them little larger with his knife
Then he hoped to the field and
picked two long hollow dandelion
flower stems. He stuck dandelion
stems in the holes of the two rub
Der balls, fastening them in place
with some sticky gum from a
pine tree.

one to the little orphan rabbit.

You're so good, Unkie Wig, to make

ODDS AND ENDS
ON ENTRIES FOR
OLYMPIC GAMES
BY GEORGE ii. BEALE
United Press Staff Correspondent

! LOS ANGELES. July %. - Mis-
handling of its own track stars
was charged to the United States
today as competitors of many ma
tions went into the final stretch
in their training for the 1882 Olym-
pic games.
Most American athletes are not
properly trained and they general
ly are overworked, Dr. Paul Mar
tin, prominent physician and in
ternationally known middle distance
runner, told the United Press.
AS an instance of an overworked
runner, DR.. Martin, himself pre-
pairing to represent Switzerland in
the Olympic games for the fourth
time, pointed to Frank Wykoff, of
the University of Southern Califor-
| mia.
Wykoff, a consistent record break
er through the season, failed tc
place in the sprintS in the finals at
Palo Alto, losing out to Metcalf,
Tolan and Simpson. He later was
given position on the relay team.
| "Wykoff ran too much through
, the season." DR.. Martin claimed
"He was overturned at Palo Alto
and he just couldn't make the
| grade"
Americans are not properly ex-
ercised in training nor are they
properly massaged," he continued.
"A distance man should be good
for a number of years but United
States distance men usually are
burned out quickly. This, in it
self, should convince handlers that
they are not training the men as
they should"
Despite his charges, DR.. Martin.
captain of the Swiss team, believes
United States takes "a beautiful
team" in to the games July 80 to
August IA and he thinks the United
States should win the track and
! field title easily.
DR.. Martin, now only 81, a clean
cut easy-spoken man, first compet-
ed in the Olympic games in 1920
when he ran the 800-meter race
at Antwerp. He saw action again
in the 1924 Olympics at Paris and
the 1923 Olympics at Amsterdam.
Ran at Paris
His best race was at Paris where
he lost to Lowe of England in a
finish SO close that cameras were
called upon to settle the race
Loves time was 1:52.2.
DR.. Martin and Paavo Nurnni. the
Finnish distance hero, are the only
athletes here who have been in
the past three games. Nurmi NAV

because OF squabble over his eligi-
bility.

found support in an unexpected
quarter,

won the 400-meter finals at Pale
Alto, attributed the poor showine

ter, with indications that the demand for
aid will be Just as heavy if not heavier
than 1t was year ago.
The central committee which operated
here last year, did splendid work in seek
ing to consolidate the activities of vari-
Gus organizations engaged in relief work.
1t is quite probable that, profiting by the
experience of last year, it can do even
greater good next winter.
Granting that all organizations and in
dividuals interested in relief work are
sincere and are inspired solely by the de-
sire to help it must be stated that there
was much cross-firing here last year
which did not increase the efficiency of
the relief work nor did it stimulate to
the greatest degree, many who wished to
aid
Jealousy as to which organization
should get the most money, irritation be-
cause some organization seemed to be
given more credit than another, and vari-
Gus similar undesirable human traits
crept to the surface.
Complaints of what this one did or
that one didn't were rife. They came to
nt dl OI6 IlItlt III SUCH
that this publication would have been
relieved to wash its hands of all efforts
to help out the relief work. 1t didn't,
for it knew that the work must be done
and aided by publicity, and if it could
help it was its duty to do SO.
Charity-and relief work is charity
should be silent. 1t should seek no glory
for itself and find its payment solely in
the inward knowledge of good deed ac-
complished. 1t is pity that some so
willing to aid in this sort of work cam
not accept that payment only.
Publicity for the work is essential, and
it is a pleasure-indeed duty-to give
it. But publicity for any single organ
ization or individual cannot help but in
jure the cause.
These remarks are not directed at any
individual or organization. We are writ
ing in generalities, in the hope that be-
fore relief work starts in the fall or win
ter, those concerned in it will get to-
gether, specify one particular agency to
direct and supervise all effort and sub
merge personalities fer the good of all.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
OUTLINES NEW REQUIREMENT

Longer educational preparation
for teachers being employed for the
first time in Alaska high schools
accredited by the University of
Washington will be required by
that institution, beginning with the
Opening of school in 1882. says the
Alaska Bulletin. The new regula-
ready employed in any accredited
school, as long as they remain in
their present positions. However.
under the regulations it will not
be possible for a teacher to leave
employment in an accredited school
and secure employment in another
accredited school without making
preparation in accordance with the
new requirements.
This information was received
from DR.. Frederick E. Bolton, Chair
man of the Committee ON Relations
with Secondary Schools and Col
leges. of the University of Wash
ington, and is in accord with the
new accreditation standards promul-
gated for accredited schools in the
State of Washington. All of the
larger high schools of Alaska are
accredited by the University of
Washington and will be affected by
this change in standards.
Dr. Bottoms letter reads in part
as follows.
ut is true that all teachers ex-
pecting TO teach in the high schools
of Washington must now have at
least one quarter of approved COL
lege work in addition to the four
year preparation. Beginning Sep
TENDER, 1882. they will need two
quarters and beginning September,
1888. must have three quarters or
a full year beyond the bachelors
degree.
I'm considering the certification
of the Alaska schools accredited by
the University, l shall certainly not
wish to be arbitrary. There will be
no ex Post Facto regulations APP
proved teachers already in their
positions will not be dropped.
think it would be fair and equitable
that all new teachers beginning
with this coming year should meet
the new requirements. l shall give
the matter further consideration
and if there are any suggestions l
shall communicate them to you"
1t would be noted that elemen
tary teachers are not affected by
the above regulations. However,
with the present over-supply of
teachers, it will not be difficult for
school boards and superintendent
to secure teachers for both elemen-
tary and high schools with training
above that required for an Alaska
certificate, and they are urged to
do so whenever new teachers are
being employed.-Alaska Bulletin.
