Hobbies in Children
A HOBBY is a great thing. 1t drives
BY ARTHUR DEAN. Sc. d.

A HOBBY is a great thing. 1t drives
\ the devil away. It occupies the
mind. It keeps children from too much
day-dreaming. 1t stimulates reading.
And IL may even lead to a life work.
I really could not live unless had
my hobbyhorse to ride. From boyhood
have always ridden one of these
SteedS. Once it was collecting birds
eggs Ia mean paStime. for which l am
heartily ashamed. Then postage stamp
collecting. Then rocks and shells. Then
horseback riding, fishing, hunting and
hiking. Now it is rock gardening.
Not one of my hobby-loving friends
let the depression get the better of him.
Most of them lost their money but none
of them lost themselves. Every time
had a cut in nv dividend. went out
and bought new plant. and for every
bit of bad news I gave my flowers a
new dig around the roots. and at the
same time gave myself a little prod
ding. MY garden saved me.
My hobbies saved me when I was
young. They kept me out of much
mischief and quite few real tempta-
tionS. When boy goes to bed phys
ically tired from working In his shop
in the cellar and his mind Is filled with
thoughts of the things he intends to do
the next time he gets into the cellar
shop, he is not apt to get to day
dreaming.
When I collected postage stamps ]
found some real geography. When ]
collected sea shells I learned about sea
life. When I raised pets I had to get
up in the morning to take care of them
and learned responsibility. I had to
come home from school to take care of
my pets. I learned how they were
born. In fact, through my mothers
garden, my fathers stable. my uncle's
farm and my own pets learned at first
hand and in sensible way some things
which are best learned in the way !
learned them.
Oh, I know what you parents are
going to say: Hobbies mean cluttered
up household. Puppies mean that
mother must feed them and clean up
after them. Kittens mean cats and
cats mean more kittens. Stamp coll
Letting means paste and glue over the
mahogany table top. A vegetable OF
flower garden means that father has
to do all the work after the first weeks
novelty has worn off.
Yes, know all about It'll But would
rather spend my time trying to get a
boy or girl to follow a hobby and work
with them by picking up while they are
working on the hobby-working to make
them finish a hobby once started-I say
would rather work harder on
these things than to work still harder
in trying to make girls and boys obey
stay in nights, behave themselves, have
an interest in nice things and keep of
the streets.
Boys and girls cannot choose a voca-
ton without getting some idea of what
vocations are like. Why not give them
pre-vocational experience by letting
them play with some hobby? It may be
tools, gardening, photography, dramat-
les, art, music, poetry writing, star
gazing, print and coin collecting-yes
and even printing.
Through our hobbies we find friends,
interests in life, contentment and some
thing which can never be taken away
from us.

advantages in being an usherl He can
dance with whomever he chooses, and
the moment he no longer chooses, he
signals to q stag, to whom he hands
his partners.
AS I said at the beginning, supper is
very unimportant to the youngest gen.
Grafton. A punch bowl, kept filled with
some sort of thirst -quenching ice-cold
fruit juice, to drink between dances. is,
of course, important, but at holiday
dance sandwiches and hot chocolate,
passed around on trays, is really quite
enough for refreshments. Or, If you
would add more, then have bouillon,
instead of chocolate, with the sand
wiches, and add ice cream and cake.
Beyond this, you can add as much as
you may choose. But for a a really
simple party, something hot to drink,
something cold, sandwiches (not sweet,
cakes (sweet) would be ample.

The Administration made plans
Roday for a detailed inquiry into
charges that Army engineers have
connived with big power COM

dertaken at once, but any ad-
vance publicity might hamper
Its progress"

Ill BOY TAKEN
FROM MOTHER

PITTSBURGH, May 4 G.N.S0.
Boyish grins wrinkled the face
of chubby-cheeked little Billy Les
is as he played with a toy air
plane in his Allegheny General
Hospital bed today, happily un-
aware that the law had taken
him from his mother.
Three-year-old Billy was rushed
to the hospital in a police car
yesterday after being pried from
the arms of his hysterical mother
in juvenile court.
The coutr ordered that Billy be
taken to the hospital for treat
ment of tuberculosis of the spine.
Despite the edict of physicians
that the boy would be crippled
for life, and possibly might die,
unless given proper care, his
mother had fought for weeks
against hospital treatment.

Steps Into Deep Hole While Wad-
ing Between Here and

Wading in the Potomac River off the
Virginia shore. half way between Wash
irgton and Mount Vernon last night,
Michael E. Borono, 80, stepped into a
deep hole and was drowned despite ef-
forts Of other bathers to save him
Three swimmers went to his rescue,
but. frantic with fright, he began to
choke the first to reach him and sank
for the second and last time when the
man broke his hold.
Police today were attempting to To-
cate relatives of Borono and find where
he lived. The address found on his
drivers permit was 1913 Eleventh street
southeast but there is no such address.
Borono is said to have told companions
he worked ct the Senate as a typist,
but there was no record of him there
The body was not recovered until
o'clock this morning, when 1t was found
by Policemen w. j. Nealon and w. F.
Fey Of the harbor precinct as they
dragged the spot where he went down.

clicked the voice Of the desk clerk at
No. 8 from the receiver now lying on
the bed.
In the meantime, the burglar had
gotten to his feet.
Stand right where you are" Mr..
Kaufman warned the intruder.
Turning to the telephone, he gave
the impatient desk clerk at No. 8 the
address. with the additional informa-
tion that he had the burglar cornered.
The intruder then turned to him In
an appealing voice, and said:
Mister, please give us a break"
Asks How Many.
"Us," Mr.. Kaufman queried nerv-
ously. For Gods sake, how many are
in here?"
There's another guy under the bed,
toO," the intruder confessed.
Mr. Kaudmann bravely peeped under
the bed. Out rolled the other guy"
In his hands was the pair Of flannel
trousers Mr.. Kaufman had planned
to don for his dinner engagement.
Stand right where you are" he
warned the second one.
And, strangely enough, both intruderl
did not make move, despite the ah-
sence Of q gun or other weapon.
In q few moments, the scout car
arrived from No. with Ofncers Russell
and Swanson on board. They took the
pair to the station house and later
transferred them to the National Train
ing School for Boys.
The intruders gave their names as
George Greek and Eugene Clainos.
Both said they were 16 and had es-
capped from . training school in Dam
vile, Va. They entered the house by
breaking q window in the basement and
claimed their only purpose was to steal

said, might be used by Virginia, North
Dakota. Louisiana and California, and
the white and blue by Maryland, Illinois,
Texas and Washington.
Age Limits Vary.
The existing confusing Implications In
tag color combinations is particularly
bad in Washington, according to Van
Duzer, because of the heavy concentra-
ton Of tourists In order to determine
the number of cars entering the District
from various States, he had an 8-hour
traffic count made recently at three of
the most important highways leading
into the District from Maryland and
Virginia.
This survey showed total Of 1896
cars during the 8-hour period OF this
number, 1921, or 1877 per cent, were
District cars, followed by a total of
1857, or 298 per cent for Maryland,
and 1886, or 81 per cent for Virginia
Cars from other States were as follows:
Pennsylvania, 200; North Carolina,
no: New York, l03; New Jersey, 54 3;
California, 46; Georgia, 43; Ohio, 40;
Florida, 36. and Massachusetts. II.
The color combination is to be taken
up by the motor vehicle administrators
in connection with number of other
problems involving needed standard
iZation.
As an illustration Van Duzer said of
the 48 States and the District, the
expiration date on tags, expires in 40
December 81 in 2 September 80 and
the balance in four other months This
situation, he declared, is confusing to
the enforcement agency and is the
cause of an inconvenience to the travel
ing public.
Van Duzer also pointed out that the
minimum age limit of motor vehicle
operators is Is years in 20 States, 18
years In 3 States, Is years in 9 States,
IA years in 5 States. 13 years in l State
and II years in another State. One
State has minimum age of II years
and States do not stipulate any age.
