notice on Japan through Its ambassa-'

Military activities and the mobiliza-

daily, although experts are Inclined to
attribute them to the propaganda of
White Russians, of whom there are
about 100000 in Manchuria. The

that 1t would participate in negoti-

Bang, you're dead
mo, I'm not. Just walt until load
my gun again and I'll pop your head
off,
heard this conversation between
two small boys as was passing down
O street. Their parents were evidently
unaware OF the danger OF allowing
them to play with toy guns In the
manner their words suggested.
II children were taught never to
point q gun--eithcr mako-belieye Or
real---at any one, we should not have
so many accidental shootings with the
agc-old remark, II didn't know II was
loaded" When one talks over the
situation with children who like Ia
play with toy weapons the CONVERSE
ton generally runs something like
this:
u like guns"
"Whyp"
ITO shoot people"
"And why do you want to shoot
people2"
"Oh, don't knowl"
The child really does not want tc
shoot anyone but the suggestion comes
with the gun. He feels Its purpose is
to shoot something or someone. Wller
the effect OF the shooting Is analyzee
with him he sees that Is not the req.
son he likes his gun. The converse.
ton continues:
"Then why do you like your gun2'
ooh, to shoot rabbits
us IL because you don't like furr,
little Dummies that you want to shoe
them?"
II like them"
Then why do you want to shoe
them?"
II don't believe / do"
Talks of this kind would soon shov
a child how unsatisfactory guns are

with no idea Of killing anything have

Fathers and mothers sometimes
think that the practice Of shooting

to something worse Children's in
tcrests should be aroused In all living
creatures to the extent that they want
to protect rather than TO kill them
Worthwhile animal books will help
with this problem.

scorn at modern youth. How can we
have patrtotic children, amienable to
the laws Of our country when we, their
parents, are in so many cases vio-
lators?
Modern youth, with It's pitiful
tawdry pretenses; its claims to super
ior views on the present and here
after; its denial OF Supreme Being;
Its hypocritical scorn of the basic de-
cencies of life; those poor young
things striving in a few years to cast
off all Of the fine precepts and princi-
pals that have evolved in the past
twenty centuries; are they not but
following the example of too many
parents who are trying by devious
methods just as futile as those Of
youth to deny that some day reality
must be faced.
Modern youth, disciplined by par
ents who can discipline themselves, is
as fine or finer than youth of any
previous generation. 1t isn't neces-
sary to admonish group of active
youngsters, busy with some legitimate
work or play ito avoid the indecencies
of life. The mind of youth in a large
