Dealings were exceptionally slow on
the come-back, however, and the lack
OF vigor encouraged sufficient selling
in the final hour to cut down top
marks substantially in many cases.
A few losers also were in evidence at
the close.
There was no special stimulation in
the news, and brokers suggested day
to-day traders may have climbed
aboard early for quick-turn profits on
the theory the list had been oversold
and was due for at least brief rally.
Some short covering was reported
by those who wished to extend the
Labor day holiday without worrying
over what may happen in the interim
that would affect stocks Others stuck
to the sidelines because of the cloudi-
ness of Far Eastern and European af-
fairs.

it did so. Neighbor Andrews had lost

that q Fox was the killer.

quently is tragedy. Yet the fault in the
circumstances is not always their own.
Parents and adult neighbors likewise
have an obligation. 1t is their duty to
warn the children when they see them
in peril. Also it is their responsibility
to insist that the warning be needed.
The father who permits his small son
to swim too far from shore is culpably
to blame II the lad is drowned.
Study of accident reports shows that
Saturday and Sunday are particularly
hazardous days. That, surely, signifies
that there is direct relation between
leisure and Jeopardy. 1t follows, logical
ly, that the public needs education in
the saner and more sensible use of time
outside the normal routine Of labor and
rest. Summed up in word, supervision
is wanted. Children ought to be watched.
And the same observation may be sug-
gested for too adventurous oldsters.
Life, after all, is more important than
the kind of fun that must be paid for
by suffering. Such is the Judgment of
those who have learned the lessons of
reasonable prudence in the bitter school
of sorrow

one in the Old Testament came from the
lips of man who accepted defeat before
he had really learned how to use his own
weapons. Reaching an impasse where
the road seemed to be blocked he cried
out: "All these things are against me-"
His first defeat was too much for him,
and though he afterWard recovered, it
was only when stern experiences and
dlScipllneS had been imposed upon him.
The second instance we have in mind
is in the New Testament and is part OF
the story of the Apostle Paul. He, too,
accepted form OF service that involved
him in difficulties and hardships that
tested his mettle. He was the champion
of cause that was unpopular, but he
dared to carry his accepted standard into
places where strong opposition awaited
him. UnembarraSSed and undefeated he
cried out: None of these things move
me" He survived every crisis and left
to the world a record of incompatible
service that has given him place among
the greatest leaders the world has known
The supremest of all examples is that
of the Man Of Nazareth. OF Him it was
written: He came unto His own and His
own received Him not" From the be-
ginning of His mighty ministry and with
the bitter opposition of His own country
men He moved majestically on to the
attainment of His divinely appointed
mission. He knew that in Jerusalem, the
capital Of His nation, forces had con-
spired to destroy Him and yet to His
wavering followers He boldly said: Be
hold, we 60 up to Jerusalem" In Him
whom the world acclaims the Master of
men" is the highest exemplihcation Of
definiteness of purpose.
AS we think Of the thousands of young
men and women who are emerging from
classrooms at this time, after long years
of study and preparation for life, we
are compelled to wonder as to the places
they are to fill in the great scheme of
things. We would arrest them with the
query long ago given to one who was
pursuing an obscure and uncertain high
way: "Whither goest thou?" The sooner
that question is answered the sooner
will the youth discover the place he is to
occupy in the world of action.

Supervision of PLAY.

OF course, 1t is a trite and weu-worn
theme, but the present season of the
year is the time for repetition of the
plea for more careful supervision of the
recreational activities of children. Each
week end of the Summer, it seems, pro-
duces its sorrowful quota of accidents
In which youngsters are injured or
killed. The loss is one which cannot be
Ignored. Moreover, it has been demon
strated that it can be decreased by prac-
tical application Of the principle Of
safety first No apology, then, is re-
quired for another appeal for caution.
Boys and girls are naturally venture
some. Fear does not govern their minds.
They take chances without thought of
consequences. And the result too fire.
