| missed most of the story on the
screen because another story was being
unreeled in my mind = the story of
an impressionable boy being trained
as chiseler by his own father; being
taught that it's smart to get away with
what doesn't belong to you, so long as
you're not caught; being conditioned
for the next petty infraction and the
one after that until presently the heavy
hand of the law drops on another
trembling shoulder.
had talk with that father before
the show was over - but he is only
one of million of the same ilk. What
has become of our old spirit of home
discipline? Has it been hidden beneath
the bridge table, tossed into a corner
of the garage, thrown out with the old
bottles from the family bar?
Few parents, indeed, have any right
to exculpate their children when these
youngsters degenerate into crime, for
our greatest ofense today is not muir
der, nor arson, nor burglary, nor even
kidnapping. 1t is the disgraceful paren-
tai attitude which leaves children to
shift for themselves - or gives them
so many cheap liberties that they
reach their teens lacking any distinc-
ton between right and wrong.
To aggravate this condition, Ameri-
can indulgence has reached a point of
insanity. And with so many parents
so busy doing idiotic nothings, they
soon begin to shunt their children into
positions of temptation merely to be
rid of them.
We cannot cure crime among youth
until we cure the greater crime among
parents, and the place to begin is not
only in your own community, but in

~ what sort OF CRIMINAL he tears
- most, and he will say that it is
not the seasoned thug, but
the youngster, gun trembling in his
hand, who is taking his first step into
desperate crime. Nervous, excitable,
perhaps filled with false courage from
a marijuana cigarette, he believes he
must shoot in order to escape. So a
gun blazes and another law-enforce-
ment officer dies at the pagan altar of
criminal youth.
This thing is CHASTITY and appalling,
especially to me, who day after day
must watch the parade of youth to-
ward the reformatories and the prisons.
Equally horrible is the realization that
much of it could be prevented.
OF our fourteen million petty crimes
each year, majority is committed by
persons of less than voting age. Over
twenty-four per cent of our murderers,
our rapists, our arsonists, burglars,
extortionists, bank robbers and kid
napers are SO young that they may
still be technically called children. This
means that thousands of major crimes
are each year laid at the door of youth
vicious, dangerous crimes, the per-
petration Of which often leads to mur-
der.
Our youth has been allowed to stray
into crime; it has not gone there de-
liberately. Too often it has been led
there by the cheap romanticism of the
thoughtless who have painted the
gangster as figure to be emulated and
who have emphasized the monetary
rewards of crime as depicted in the
headlines, rather than pointing to the
price which must be paid for every
tainted dollar.

Control the
Middle-Age
''Spread''
Stretch and Twist
Body to Keep Fat
From Settling.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

DON'T be slt-downer and sit
arounder Or, the middle-aged
spread will get you if you don't watch
out. It's the young thing who keeps
moving who invariab bly, keeps young.
She has to have the stamina to say
no" to an offer of lift" when there's
half-mile walk ahead of her; just as
she has the self-control to say mo"
to an offer of sweets, an extra helping
OF rich desserts and such.
Sitting down and sitting around is
the surest way to encourage flesh to
settle. Then the waist thickens into
the hateful spare tire. then the hips
become padded and the middle-aged
spread starts spreading.
Moving and stretching has exactly
the opposite effect. Pull the spinal
column up to its full height and you'll
discover that you have a very definite
waistline. Breathe deeply, stretch,
fling and circle arms and you'll soon
find that you have firm, youthful,
yell-defined bust, too Roll around a
bit and you'll have hips. not pads
but the charming, flowing, slightly
rounded line.
One thing about the middle aged
spread-you don't have to be middle
aged to have it; there are any num-
Der Of young girls who, sadly enough,
have the spread appearance. On the
other hand there are many women
active enough to preserve youthful fig
ure lines. So repeat you don't have
to be middle-aged to have the So
called middle-aged look. but it GER
tainly makes one look old who has it,
Stretching exercises are as good as
any to keep upper and lower parts of
the torso in trim, and keep each part
going about its own business. Imnle-
diately on aWaking, throw off covers,
breathe deeply and start the stretch
ing. Stretch hands and arms high
overhead. Stretch toes downward
Stretch as though you were trying to
pull the figure apart at the waist.
Then try this one Lying on back
on the floor, brace feet under heavy
piece of furniture. Palms close to
thighs. Without moving knees, try to
lift upper part of body slowly. You
have to be very good to come to sit
ting position. Do this slowly. Now
just as slowly down again. Don't
strain the back muscles. If you are
not accustomed to this exercise do it
just once or twice at first, then grad
ually add.
My complete set of exercises is
yours for q self-addressed, stamped

Manners
of the
Moment

SOMETIMES we stand on q street
- corner watching two women strug-
gle over a taxi fare, and we shudder
for them both. They push and tug
and yank and shove. Really, if
newsreel man would only pick up one
OF these spontaneous fights, he'd have
something that would put the free-for-
all boxing matches in the shade.
OF course, If you have an energetic
girl friend who has paid the fare for
several times running, and won't let
you pay even when you explain that
it's your turn, we can see why you'd
have to battle bit But it would
be much more sensible to let her pay.
Then next time try to get your money
out surreptitiously before you reach
your destination, and sneak the coin
over to the driver before the girl
friend knows what's happening. And
if you can never beat her to it, we'd
suggest that you give up. It's her own
fault If she makes you into = chiseler.

These States. that border our South
land, came TO develop some extra fine
specialties in the food line. If, for
example, you've ever eaten Philadelphia
you'll be prone to agree with me If
you've come up Squarely against
well-cooked Virginia ham, poured over
with cider sauce, you won't argue
at all.
Baked Virginia ham, by the way, is
because it's the mainstay dish of
Easter Sunday in this part of the
world. Here's the way to do it:
Pick out ham weighing at the
most IL pounds Scrub it all over
well with small brush and put it in
a good sized kettle. cold water to
cover. Into the kettle put one small
bayleaf. one sliced onion. two Or three
branches of celery, two SprigS Of pars-
ley and two sliced carrots Bring your
water to the boiling point and 5immer
the ham slowly for four full hours.
from the broth, put it down on a firm
surface and peel off the top skin,
leaving a little around the shank end.
Then put the ham in a baking pan.
fat side up, together with one cup of
hot water and one cup of cider. Put
in a moderate oven for one hour, and
haste every 10 minutes or so. When
1t is finished, score the fat surface
evenly and spread it with brown sugar
and bread crumbs Dot it with cloves
and put it back in the oven for brown
ing. Do not haste during the time it
is browning
NO VIRGINIAN will forgive YOU if
you forget the cider sauce-Which
IS as follows:
Put one cup Of the ham liquid into
the pan in which the ham was baked
Cream butter and -four for thicken-
ing purposes and bring the sauce to a
boil. Then add one-third of a cup of
cider. Season the sauce with Just
few grains of paprika and be sure to
strain it before you serve.

him, either. Youth Graves compan-
ionship and pleasure. and it is natural
and right that it should have it.
FURTHERMORE, the more young
people see of other boys and girls
the better chance they have of testing
out their own feelings and finding out
whether what they think is love IS
merely a passing fancy or an undying
passion. 1t is only by giving many
boys and girls the once-over that they
can be certain that they have picked
out the one they really prefer. To ito
oneself up for life with the first boy or
girl with whom you ever get acquaint-
ed shows as little judgment as to buy
the first article you see in shop with
out looking over the stock.
Another reason why a girl makes
mistake in refusing to go about with
other boys when her boy friend is
absent-and there will be long years
before they can possibly marry. any
Way-is because she has no certainty
that he will ever come back. Tastes
| change, especially in youth. Absence
dulls affection, and propinquity does
its deadly work, and only too often
the young man forgets the girl he left
behind him and breads nothing so
much as going back to her.
Or, as is equally likely the girls
taste may change, and when the man
she has waited for comes back, she
wonders what she ever saw in him
that made her think she was in love
with him. Many girl is an old maid
because she let some monopolistic boy
cut her out of all dates with other men
while he was away.
OF course, if man is definitely en-
gagged to girl and the wedding day is
in sight. he has right to expect her
to refuse dates with other boys, but
not otherwise.

Definition
Of Abused
w O d S
Meaning of Charm Is
to Please Not One
But Many.
BY EMILY POST.

I is the asset people usually speak
of as charm only transient
attraction, which one either has or
hasent? And is it confined to people
only? If so, I can't account for hav-
ing heard of charming house or
for your having written about charm
in china Can elderly people have it
as well as young people, and does
it in any case depend upon good
looks? l have been given a paper
to write in school on the subject of
charm and after spending all this
evening really thinking about it, I'm
more confused than ever. Will you
explain the meaning of charm in its
best sense?
AnsWer-Charm is something for
which the world has been trying to
find the perfect definition for the last
300 years. The hospitable host of a
certain great estate abroad even had
a guest book in which each partaker
of his hospitality was expected, like
Tommy Tucker. not to sing for his
supper but to contribute his Tor herr
definition of charm. Casually speak
ing, it is that which pleases. But
to be real it must please-not you
alone, nor me, but many. It is also
that quality in person or in an object
or in place, Of which we never grow
tired. At the present moment the
overuse Of the word charm is becoming
abused and it is to great extent
despoiling its meaning in the same
way exactly that lady and gentleman
and elegant have been despoiled
through the vulgarizing effect of over
use.
, I HAVE been assigned a topic in
school on The Instincts of a
Lady and Gentleman and it would
help me more than l can tell if you
would write me briefly about these.
AnsWer-The instincts of lady and
gentleman are much the same Both
are equally punctilious in the pay
ment of their obligations. equally
averse to pressing their advantage
and, above everything else, they can
be counted on always to show con-
sideration for the rights and feelings
of others, no matter what their sta
ton in life NAV be.

I'm going to include an egg dish, be-
cause there's nothing like Easter TO
remind you of eggs, and especially so
If you've ever been near Washing
ton, D. c., on Easter Eggs from
poultry yards the world over must be
rushed to Washington for the kids TO
play with on the White House lawn
on Easter Monday. That's the day
when the White House grounds are
free to every child who wants to roll
eggs-and maybe you've seen the lawn,
showed under egg shells, on Easter
Monday evening.
This fine sight may or may not re-
mind you of eggs benedict, but I've
a bunch egg benedict will stay in your
memory if you try them once.
Split English mullins in half and
toast them brown. Butter them and
cover them with thin pieces of brolled
ham, cut to their size. Put a poached
egg on top and cover all with Hol-
landalse sauce.
YOU can use Hollandaise splendidly,
too, with asparagus, broccoli or
caulifloWer:
Beat four egg yolks up well, add to
them one-half cup Of melted butter,
one-fourth teaspoon of salt and lit
tie cayenne. Pour this into the top
of double boiler and cook it over
hot water until the sauce thickens,
while stirring gently. While you're
stirring drop in one tablespoon of
strained lemon juice and continue
cooking for about two minutes, If the
sauce begins to separate. take il off the
heat quick and add to 1t a few drops
Of hot water.
And if that isn't enough recipes for
one day, maybe you would like TO try
dessert waf1es:
Sift together two cups -four. three
teaspoons of baking powder. one-halt
teaspoon salt few gratings of nut
meg and three tablespoons of sugar.
Add one and one-half cups of milk
gradually with three beaten egg yolks.
Then add four tablespoons of melted
butter and fold in three stiffly beaten
egg whites. Have the waffle iron hot.
If the iron is electric, no greasing is
necessary, otherwise grease lightly
with melted butterD Drop one table
spoon Of batter in each section, brown
on both sides and remove to hot plates
and serve Immediately. The follow
ing is a very delicious maple sugar
sauce: Break one-half pound of maple
sugar into small pieces and put II in
a saucepan with three-quarters of
cup OF heavy cream. Stir slowly until
maple sugar is dissolved and boil
gently for five or six minutes. Re-
move from fire and beat briskly for
several minutes. Pour into warm
pitcher and serve with the waffles. No
butter is necessary with this sauce.

make us long 10 give party, or we
might turn the phrase and say the
party gives us the excuse to buy the
famous Irishman's symbols that tempt
us as we pass each shop window.
Counters are filled with miniature
hats and full-size ones; green pipes
with wick in the bowl which may
be lighted just before the guests are
seated. and attractive gold harps with
the shamrock which rises above a
shell into which the hostess may put
nuts or candies.
There are any number of SuggeS-
tons to carry out the holiday spirit
for the luncheon, tea or dinner, as
there are a number of green foods on
the market such as olives, peppers,
pickles and green cherries, with which
to garnsh any dish, and little veg
etable coloring matter added to GER
tain dishes will do the trick. Salads
may be made with lime favored gela-
tin and fruit, served ice cold on
bed of lettuce and with this have
sliced pepper which has been stuffed
with cream cheese mixed with tea
tablespoons of ground peanuts. When
the peppers have been stuffed place
them in the ice box to chill and just
before serving slice with sharp
knife and the effect will be surpris-
ingly like that of shamrock if you
have selected a Well-shaped pepper.
Among the green desserts there is

For the hostess who prefers to make
her own candy rather than buy it
here are several good recipes, and
after the mixture has been poured
out may be cut into any shape de-
sired.

J a good home. Also have
boy friend working his way
through college. We are very fond
of each other. or think We are, and
he does not want me to have dates
with any other boys while he is away.
He has no smoney and it will be sew
eral years before he is able to marry.
What is your advice? SUE.
Answer: My earnest advice to you
is to have all the dates and all the
fun that you can and refuse to accede
to the boys selfish and unreasonable
request that you make lady hermit
Of yourself.
There are many good reasons for
this. One is that you will virtually
throw away your youth and all the
happiness that belong to youth if you
do. You will have pretty thin time
of it waiting for five or six years for
your boy friend to finish school and
get into some business. You will be
as much cut off from all pleasure as
if you had retired from life. There
will be no parties for you, no gayety,
no cumming up with other boys and
girls. You will be laid on the shelf
and get old and dessicated and un-
attractive. No man has a right to
ask that much Of sacrifice of a girl,
and she is lacking in all good, hard
common sense if she makes it.
He won't make the same sacrifice
for her. He won't give up all femi-
nine companionship because he is
separated from her. While she is sit
