YOUNG AMERICA sAYs-"HAs ROMANCE A BREAK IN 1937?'
By T. E. Powers

you'd better stay single. And
let the girl do likewise.
That's my answer. What's
YOURS, Youngsters? Would you
not marry a girl unless you could
"keep her in the style to which
she had been accustomed? o.
would you expect her to make as
many sacrifices as you are max
ing, endure as much hardship, and
do it all willingly?
Let's hear from both sides-the
Brides as we'll as the Grooms OF
Tomorrow. How big a price are
YOU prepared to pay for mar
riage?
Last week Mary Ellen Wicks
told the world what she thought
of modern education. This.
said Mary, "is a stream-lined age
why don't we modernize educa-
ton to fit it? Give us practical
subjects instead Of academic
hooey!"
USELESS
Now comes JIM TOLEDO, aged
1s, with more snappy remarks on
the same subject.
''Why doesn't young America
appreciate the education 1t is
receiving?" demands Jim. "IH
tell you. You elders say that you
are preparing us for our future
life.' But that's exactly what
you are NOT doing. Seventy
five per cent Of all we learn is
useless In the struggle we face
when we leave school
"Why not touch on these old
academic subjects lightly, then
give us PRACTICAL WORK?
We'd prefer knowing what the
President said in his last speech
.. discussing current events.
"Our tipping claSs-we're really
interested in that because 1t
leads somewhere. So would
classes In barbering. plOwing,
rOadbuilding, domestic science,
etc.
"And how about marriage
which, to any normal young
person, is the greatest career Of
all? Why should We have to
pick up our sex information
from the gutter?
I'm not discrediting educa-
ton. We want it-need far
more of it. BUT GIVE US A
KIND OF EDUCATION WE
CAN USE!"

So WHAT? Now it's your turn!

ka's new legislature.
This pioneering unicameral
legislature in Nebraska" says
Mr.. Toll, "has enviabIe OppOr-
tunity for utilizing improved
and mOdernized legislative de-
vices. 1 mean such devices as
the legislative council, legisla-
tive research services, and .
wellplanned. properly organ
lied committee system.
THE true merits of the Ne
braska experiment, however,
cannot be determined from the
opening days Of the session, nor
even from the entire session.
1t will require the record Of two
or three sessions Of this one
house legislature to determine
its merits as a legislative body.
Conditions will Of course be
very different when the people
of the State and of the Nation
have ceased to focus their at
tentiOn on this novel law-mak-
ing body, and when the ZeSt of
the new enterprise and the flood
light Of publicity have died
away"
FIRST TEST
"It is the opinion of this expert.
enced observer of the workings Of
State governments that Nebraska's
one-house legislature will prove
more effective than the two-house
legislature in the enactment Of
good measures, but less effective
in the blocking of bad measures.
There are, however exceptions to
this rule. Probably it's first test
on a measure of national impor-
tance will come when the Nebraska
legislators take up for considera-
ton the proposed Child Labor
Amendment to the Federal Con-
Stitution.
This propose amendment,
which was submitted by the Sixty.
Eighth Congress to the States in
1924, was ratified in 1929 by the
Nebraska State Senate but indef.
initely postponed by the Nebraska
House at the same session.
In 1925 and 1927 one House of
the Nebraska Legislature rejected
and the other indefinitely post
poned action on the proposal. In
1885 the Nebraska House rejected
the proposed amendment and the
Senate took no action.
With President Roosevelt, ex-
President Hoover, Senator Norris
and the very active titular leader
of the Republican party, Governor
Landon of Kansas, on record in
support of the ratification Of the
proposed Child Labor Amendment,
the whole country will watch with
interest the forthcoming action
on this proposal by the new legis-
latiVe body of his native State Of
which Senator Norris is the polit-
ical godfather.

Desirable Reforms

TNIE Judges of the Police Court have shown commend
able aacrity in considering the proposals advanced
bv Judge Edward NJ Curran for improving the effi-
cheney of the court.
Already five of the judge proposals have been given
approval of the bench and the judges have taken under
advsement the recommendations for the establishment
of behavior clinic and system of uniform fines in the
traffic branch
Several of the changes proposed by Judge Curran
would require legislation, such the establishment of
a public defender and the behavior clinic.
There doesn't seem to be any doubt however, that if
Judge Curran and his colleagues the bench are able
to present united front these matters after careful
consideration that Congress could be induced to enact
the necessary laws.
The action of the Police Court judges in giving
sderaton to and partial approval to the Curran pro-
posals should stimulate the movement for establishment
of "poor mans branch' of the Municipal Court as
sponsored by Judge Nathan Cayon.
The efforts being made by both Judge Cayton and
Judge Curran would improve the Judicial machinery
of the city and there is why both proposals
should not be put into effect promptly.
JUDGE CAYTON's SUGGESTION FOR MAX
ING THE MACHINERY OF THE MUNICIPAL
COURT FUNCTION MORE CHEAPLY. AND MORE
SMOOTHLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE WITHOUT
FUNDS TO RETAIN EXPENSIVE LAWYERS AND
PAY HIGH COSTS COULD BE PUT INTO EFFECT
ON THE SAY-SO OF THE JUDGES AND WITHOUT
LEGISLATION.
The proposals have received the overwhelming ap-
prova of the bar and it is regreabe that the Municipal
Court Judges have not their way clear to give them
formal approval.
The suggestions for both courts would result in I'M
provement of conditions and they certainly deserve
prompt trial.
Everyone who has had to go to Police Court will vel
come the institution Of system of staggered hours
which will save considerable time Of defendants police
and witnesses.
This suggestion it is understood, is to be placed in
effect first and its operation will be welcomed.
We hope the judges Of both courts will give the neces
sary approval to these highly desirable reforms.

The burden Of his remarks
were directed toward the effect
the Presidents message on the
state of the nation is having,
Representative Clifford said that
he believed the members OF the
House were a little fearful. He
said he thought it was a wise
thing to continue in fear and to
illustrate why he said:
pat said: In the war I was
shot through the left chest and
the bullet came out through my
back"
mike said: How could you
have been shot through your
chest and the bullet have come
out through your back without
passing through your heart?
ooh Pat said, at the mo-
ment my heart was in my
mouth"
A little later on, in commenting
on the Joyful entrance" OF tne
PresiderS when he delivered MS
message, Representative Glfford
said this is what kept running
through his mind:
"Here comes the fall BRIDE
With a smile q mile wide
As down the church aisle
She doth trOt him;
Every line Of her grin,
Every tilt Of her chin,
Seems to say:
I got him. 1 got him, ! got him."
So it certainly appears that even
with so small a minority, the Re
publicans are going to be able to
take care of themselves in the
matter of vocal expression.
