CALLS DIVORCE
CRIME CAUSE

Indifference Of parents and the
frequency Of divorce are prime
causes of the growth Of juvenile
crime, Senator William H. King
CD, of Utah, chairman of the
Senate District Committee, said
last night before the Mckinley
Parent Teacher Association in the
Mckinley High School. He de-
clared:
SCHOOLS are the foundation,
next to the home, Of our civil
zation. They can be improved;
they are not yet perfect. In
them the children learn the
things that make them good
citizens"
Other speakers were Frank c..
Daniel, principal, and Miss Aida
Bowler, of the Children's Bureau,

DIST|LLER|ES
OPERATING At
CAPACITY
BY ROBERT S. THORNBURG
Copyright. 1898, by International
News Service)


Whiskey production has been
increased from the annual rate Of
1900, 900 gallons a month ago to
more than 100000 gallons, In
ternational News Service learned
today from official sources.
A tremendous California fruit
crush indicated a production Of
from 25.000,000 to 80 100000 gall
Ions of high power wine this
autumn. In addition, 20 brandy
distilleries, principally on the
West Coast, are operating at
capacity.
Ten whiskey and three rum dis
tilleries likewise reported capacity
output.
Running 'Wide Open"
The Government is permitting
the distilleries to operate on a
capacity basis, technically pro-
ducing medicinal liquors. The
wine manufacturers are permit
ted to produce wine of more than
80 per cent alcohol, and store it
pending the actual date of re-
peal, now set for early December.
All distilleries making applica-
lions for permits which met the
conditions laid down for the OPEN
ing of medicinal liquor plants
have been licensed. Five more
diStilleries are under construction
in Maryland and several in other
sections Of the country.
Officials said they did not think
there could be any limit to the
number of distilleries, wineries
and breweries licensed, unless the
President decided to place a linn
1tation Of production under his
emergency NRA powers.
Increase Likely
1t was expected that by the
new year the whiskey output
would be at the rate of more than
125, 100000 gallons a year. After
proper ageing that would leave
somewhat more than 100000, 900
gallons available for distribution.
The capacity for the produc-
ton Of pure grain alcohol in ex-
listing plants was given as about
100,000,O00 gallons annually. Of
ficials pointed out that the al
cohol production could be speeded
without difficulty.

or keep them sound. Remember this:
Any preparation that polishes teeth
and fails to kill germs-millions of
germs that cause so many tooth and
gum troubles - ONLY HALF.
CLEANS TEETH.
One dental cream in the world
that kills troublesome germs as it
cleans the teeth is Kolynos. Try it
a half.inch on a dry brush, morning
and night. Soon your teeth will look
cleaner than ever before.
The Washington times., 1933-11-08

This unique, scientific dental cream
contains two priceless ingredients
that give the teeth a DOUBLE.
CLEANSING. As one foams into
every crevice, over every tooth sur.
face and washes away food accumu-
lation, stain and tarnish-the other
kills millions of germs.
Thus, in a remarkably short time,
teeth are cleaned right down to the
beautiful, naturalwhite enamel-with-
out injury. They look more attrac.
tive than you ever believed possible.
No, you can't get by with dull,
HALF-CLEANED TEETH. Don't try
to. Start using Kolynos. Overnight
your teeth will show great improve
ment. Your mouth will feel cleaner
and fresher. Get tube of Kolynos
from your druggist today.

MEASLES KEPT BOY ROOSEVELT OUT OF sPAsAAERcAN WAR;

ing air Of tension somewhere
about the table as Franklin
continued:
Really, a most unusual letter.
It begins Dear Rosey," he
read, impressively, but got no
further, for Franklin, jr., aged
H.. and as tall as his father,
was out Of his chair and around
the table faster than our eyes
could follow him. When the
hubbub had died down, the let
ter was safely slowed away in
young Franklin's pocket, and
my sons air Of innocent sur
prise had dissolved in peals Of
hearty laughter.
Among the Leaders
AS time went on we heard less
and less Of Franklin's pranks at
Groton, for there were his final
Harvard examinations in the
offing, and, while he was never
q boy to cram, he had every
hope Of making a decent show
ing. Once the sixth form had
been reached, the scholastic ca
pacity Of the various students
had made itself fairly evident.
There were six boys who con-
sistently maintained a lead in
their studies, and I must admit
to a certain understandable ella
ton over the fact that Franklin
was always among them. There
were Edward Bell Krumbaar of
Philadelphia, Wendell Phillips
Blagdon Of New York, William
Appleton Burnham and Warren
Motley Of Boston, and Lathrop
Brown, who later became
Franklin'S roommate at Harvard.
The Washington times., 1933-03-27

uninterrupted by any further
contemplated deeds Of valor, to
end in a solemn and touching
graduation ceremony which his
father and I attended.
Temptation to COddle
There was q great temptation
to coddle Franklin after the sew
eral illnesses he had just been
through. I should have liked
either to have brought him
home for an indefinite stay or
to have made frequent visits to
Groton to satisfy myself that
everything was going along as
it should, but I put the notion
promptly behind me. In those
days week-ends were unknown,
and visits away from school
sternly discouraged-not a bad
thing, for the boys were COM
Portable, well housed and fed,
and had no opportunity to hun
ger after trips to the theater or
to insist upon the other indul-
%gences which modern boys de.
mand-and usually get. We
stayed away from the school
for the same reason, and our
rare visits were all the more
welcome because we made them
an occasion.
But that meant that Franklin
had to write regularly, which he
did, painStakingly and conScien-
tiously, once a week. I must
say that on the whole he was
very good about it, for it could
not have been easy at all times
to unearth the rather scant
news that went into some Of
those weekly efforts. A school,
boys letters are notoriouSly
lacking in sentiment and sense,
but in all fairness I cannot rec
ollect any grave omission Of

OF the thousand applicants
from the various preparatory
schools who took the tests, each
Of these boys emerged near the
top Of the list with conspicuous
honors; their mark, I believe, be-
ing is points" Franklin head
ed the grade with 16 points"
the best rating conferred, and
we were immensely proud Of his
achievement. He, on the other
hand, did not feel that either
this or his winning Of the all
school Latin prize was Of any
special Importance, but he was
infinitely more excited over his
breaking the school record for
what they call the running
high kick" and establishing one
at z feet 31a inches that was to
remain unshattered for years.
welcomed His Vacations
After the semester's exacting
routine, Franklin always vel
coined the approach Of the sum-
mer holidays. Sometimes he at.
tended boys camps that were
run in connection with Groton,
but more often he spent his va
cation at Campobello, the little
island two miles off the coast
of Maine, where we had a cot

either in Franklin's. His letters
were short and to the point, but
had character and sounded like
him. They did not, I must ad-
init, give any intimation Of the
enthusiastic correspondent he
was to become in later years.
They say that few public men
conduct anything like the per-
sonal correspondence which
Franklin has enjoyed almost

in the face Of the most exact
ing official duties.
DelicateIy Scented Letter
It has happened that his
close contact with his own cor
respondence has proved a little
embarrassing-to one of the
younger members of the family
at least. I remember that once
when Franklin came home at
the noon hour for q hurried
luncheon with his family at the
Executive Mansion in Albany,
he drew from his coat pocket
and brandiShed most oStenta-
tiously a typically feminine and
delicately scented letter. In his
eye was the twinkle which al
ways meant that mischief was
brewing, but he began to talk
very solemnly.

(ContInued from rage -
ity, trivial though it sounds,
may truly have altered the
course Of his entire life.
It was at the time Of the
Spanish-American War, and,
like all boys of his age, Frank
lin and his chums were faSci-
mated by the newspaper &C
counts and by their own dreams
Of heroHm and adventure. I
knew nothing of his enterpriS-
ing schemes, Of course, until
some time later: but 1t hap
pened that he and one Of his
boon companions became so vio-
lently imbued with the bellicose
spirit that they planned to run
away from school and enlist. I
suppose every boy is subject at
least once in his life to the
temptation of running away
from his established habits and
the ties that bind him, but, as
far as know, that was the
only time Franklin yielded to
that adolescent weakness. AS
in all things, he was thorough,
in laying his plans, and would
undoubtedly have succeeded in
his plot had it not been, as I
have said, for that providential
attack Of measles.
A Smuggling Plot
He and his partner in crime
had arranged, by what devious
means I can only imagine, with
the local pieman-s familiar fig
ure at the school because Of his
frequent visits-to smuggle them
off the grounds safely slowed
away in the little cart which a
fat, indolent horse trundled from
place to place. No one would
have thought to look inside 1t,
so we'll known was this commu-
nifty character. AS the boys had
saved up their pocket money
for weeks in anticipation Of this
journey to the Spanish War,
they probably would have been
miles away before their absence
was discovered and, because
they were both unduly tall for
their ages, might easily have
been enlisted and beyond our
reach before steps could have
been taken to stop them.
But on that fateful morning,
as luck would have it, they
awoke with sore throats, run
ming noses and splitting head
aches, and became once more,
through the simple phenomenon
Of physical discomfort, two
small boys who had been tenn
porarily lost in the adult maze
of martial glory. To add to
their humiliation came the dag
nosis that the malady that had
laid them low was nothing more
impressive than old-fashioned
measles, an ailment hardly ap.
propriate to the newly assumed
role Of soldier Of fortune. This
crownjng insult ended Frank,
Inns early military ambitions,
and his school career continued

NEW YORK, March ~ U.NS0.
with q mechanical man as CO.

City, internationally famous avi-
ator, is planning a round-the-
world flight in an effort to smash
the record of 8 days, Is hours and

In June, 1881.
POSTS plan for a solo flight
around the, globe, one Of the most
sensational air fea is ever at

international News Service from
the best Of authority.
Testing Plans in Mexico
The date for the "take-off" has
not yet been determined. Post is
now in Mexico testing the robot
under varied conditions, such as
low attitudes over water and high
attitudes over mountains.
Every indication is that the
robot will perform 100 per cent,
thus injecting a new science INTO
the art Of flying.
Post has drawn his general
flight plan and started grooming
the winnie Mae" speedy Lock

Robot has been installed, syn

Gatty Post has toyed with the
idea of circling the globe alone.
He has acquired complete owner

plane, rebuilt and with new
Streamlining, is faster than ever.
The robot has made hit with
Post. He said:

make mistakes in flying from

Robot fly the ship at various altl-
tudes and to do other things in
the air is to shift a knob, just as
one would operate. a radio. The de-

The secret of the machines
Super-human touch is the govern

to Carlson, operate the jets which
open or close the hydraulic lines.
q sensitive diaphragm governs
the pressure on the lines, keeping
