"The business of youth is mating.
whether adults realize it or not"
declared Mrs. Margaret Wells
Wood, national associate chairman
of the social hygiene committee
of the National Congress of Parents
and Teachers, speaking today be-
fore the Indiana congress in the
SEVERN.
Mrs. Wells, whose topic was
Guiding Boy-Girl Relationships"
said that the tendency among par

truth or miSrepresenting it" to
children.
If parents do not give their chill
dren the right background and I'M
derStanding, it is inevitable that
they will take up petting. And
petting, because it causes the finer
feelings to become calloused, is one
of the most important causes of I'M

Mrs. Wells spoke on Parents of
tomorrow before the congress
Tuesday night. She said that I'VE
have done a good job of making our
boys and girls stenographerS, clerks,
teachers and engineers, but have
done little in fitting them for life.
Modern youth is ignorant of the
factors that make for happiness and
social adjustment, and the fault
may be laid to the door of the par
ents of today"
Whenever you see delinquency.
prostitution, illegitimacy, and di-
Vorce, you are seeing the results of
faulty preparation for marriage and

Speaking before the afternoon

MASTER MIND
is HUNTED BY
CITY SUBURB
RavenSwoOd Mayor Ready
to Give Job to Any One
With IDEAS.

Here's an opportunity to be the
lord of a. town.
Ravenswood's mayor is ready TO
give it to any one who will solve
its tax problems. 3
The river town with varied past
was offered, with best wishes, today
by Mayor" Charles c. Ford to
the master mind who can solve its
difficulties.
Airing the financial straits, of she
town, Ford asked county commits
sioners to assume control. but the
commissioners refused. They said
they have ee"enough trouble run
ming the county"
The chief trouble seems to be
that the towns tax levy Of 1884
for 1888 was sliced to 81 by the
county adjustment board.
I'VE can't operate on the 81 rate
Ford said. The levy only would
raise $3.50. The town board e-ti-
mated $2,546 will be needed for ex-
penses. Anybody who can guarcn-
tee a solution is the owner of the
whole layout-even the beach"
The beach. with its flock of pa
irons during the summer, is the as
set of the town.
Years of wrangling in court and
scores of town board arguments
have made Ravenswood renowned
as political hotbed.
Ford said bills totaling S64l must
be paid, leaving the town $l,566
short, if the 81 rate is enforced.
Turned down by commissioners,
Ford sought counsel of attorneys.

the rate and save the town.

NO STEPS TAKEN TO
CUT SCHOOL BUDGET
Board Waits Final Action by State
Tax Arbiters.

No steps have been taken by
school commissioners to reduce the
1928 school budget in accordance
with the 1871 cents cut tax levy or
dered by the county tax adjustment
board, it was learned today.
The board is waiting for final
action of the state tax board on
appeals filed by tax reduction
groups following action by the
county board, said Russell Wilson,
school board president.
There is no use for our board
to consider action" Wilson said,
before the tax board hears our case,
as further cuts may be made"
The 1877 cents levy slash ordered
by the county board will force
shortening of the school term, Will
son said, as the school budget will
not stand further slaShes. The
budget was cut 1857, 900 voluntarily
by the board, and the 1877 levy slash
will mean an additional $3.50 900 re-
duction in school income.
