to Germany-and if the people
had their way they would still
be there. Always, also, there
had been flowers on the tomb
of old Emperor Francis Joseph
and on that of his son, Rudolph,
who either killed himself and
his sweetheart or was slain with
her as they lay in each others
arms.
More flowers had been piled
close to the dust of Macmillan,
Francis Joseph's younger broth
err, Emperor of Mexico, who was
sent to death by a firing squad
of revolutioniStS. More flowers
there used to be-over the re-
mains of Archduke Franz Ferdi-
nand, the old emperor's nephew,
whose murder brought about the
World War and the eventual
wreck of Austria.
Happy men, u n h Apply
women, these Hapsburgs. Sorrow
has always been their personal
portion and they in turn have
spread sorrow and tragic death
over Europe. War has always
seemed to be with them. But
Austria, her love proven over
the centuries in the one-time
piles of fresh flowers among the
tombs of the once-mighty, had
seemed to wait and to hope for
the return of a Hapsburg-and
never for a Hitler.
OTTO, 25-year-old son Of the
" exiled Karl, waited years for
the welcome that was never
shouted though frequently whis-
pered. If the common people
had been asked their preference
they would have called him from
Belgium. Prince Starhemburg,
before he was ousted from a
sort of military overlordShip by
the now imprisoned Won
Schuschnigg, leaned to Otto'S re-
turn and then mysteriously
veered away. Commenting on
his final decision he said:
1.-The states of the Little En-
tente (Czechoslovakia, Jugo-
Slavia and Rumania) are nerv-
Gus lest a HapSburg restoration
should lead to an attempt to re-
build the old Austrian empire
of Maria Theresa in Europe. To
that Austria replies that she is
content to remain within her
existing frontiers, but asks that
she shall be secured from ag-
gression from without and also
from political interference
within.
''In seeking a better under
standing and confidence among
the Danubian peoples we in
Austria are obliged to resist the
Nazi theory Of one race, one
fatherland.' An attempt at the
building Of a Pan-Germanic
Middle Europe will lead to de-
Struction."
But that is what is being done
and so far as destruction is
concerned that has already
come to Austria. And the Little
Entente is more nervous than
ever.

made that It was because Of
wrong influence in their homes
that made some Of them what
they were, and girls and women
are to a great extent responsible
for that.
I have been in but few Of
those homes, but from what I
have seen outside for a long
time I judge that this may be
true. For example, many Of
them-some not yet in school
are seen with toy pistols, rifles.
ETC., ordering people to "stick
'em up, I'll shoot you, bang.

in wars and elsewhere, and here
in wars is where they, and
grown people who lead them
into it, do get rewarded for do
ing wrong, and for which others
must pay at the expense Of alb
solute necessities.
Big Sister and others who are
inclined to criticise, should
realize what boys are doing:
Thousands of them are out early
and late, in all kinds Of weather,
selling papers, carrying mes
sageS, saving people from in
jury and death, as the school
boy patrol boys do; they are
alert. industrious, not inclined
to be shirkers. And where girls
do their part they get the same
credit.
Give youth a chance-health,
strength and all that is their
right to have-the majority Of
them will go right, and make
good. It is the duty Of adults
to see that their needs are sup
piled, and direct them in the
right way. This is the best way
to make the world. safe for de-
mocracy. FOR JUSTICE.

Urges Widows' Pensions

Now that the budget has been
balanced at the expense of the
war veterans, it would be inter-
esting to know why the same
Senators and Representatives
who voted for $4,000 a year pen
sions for Presidents widows,
pigeonholed the $24 a month
pension bill for the World War
veterans widows and orphans?
Why do these same Senators
permit Swivel-chair practitioners
to draw from $4,000 to $4,000
a year, for no other reason than
that they wore a uniform dur
ing the war?
Why cannot we have a real
investigation of the u. s.
Veterans Administrations Stop
blaming the unemployed and
disabled veteran for everything
and get down to the real cause.

Parsons Case "Murder''

Parsons Case "Murder"
I read your excellent editorial
headed:
Levine Boy Found Muir
dered."
May I suggest a correction?
In the last paragraph the
writer states: "The Omen have
done excellent work They
have not yet, however, solved
the Mattson, Parsons and Le-
vine cases."
The Parsons case, Mr.. Edi-
torial Writer, HAS been solved.
And it wasn't kidnapping, but
murder. And as such was not
a case for the FBI, as the latter
crime does not come under their
province.
In defense Of the Omen, I
would like to say they solved
the murder-shortly after 1t
happened.
The murderers have not been
brought to justice because no
body can find the corpus deficit
and you can't try people for
murder without it.
So that only leaves two kid
nap cases left. And with the
FBI cut in two for lack Of
appropriations it will probably
be some time before they are
solved. MRS. G. r.

Not All Boys "Bad"

A short time ago you pub
lished a letter which was headed
ut Pays to Be Bad"
This letter, written by Big
Sister, told little sister, that the
reason Boys Clubs have been
organized by "a lot Of noble
men" and that they have been
given beautifully equipped club
rooms-from which girls are
barred-is because boys are bad,
unruly, have no respect for law,
order, personal property-are
generally hoodlums."
True, it is claimed that since
these things have been done for
them, there has been much i'm
provement in them, which sig
nifies that they were not per-
feet before, but they cannot be
so strongly determined to do
wrong, or there would not be
such an improvement in them
in such a short time. I don't
think that the men who have
done these things want to re-
ward them for being bad. but
to keep them from doing the
things Big Sister accuses them Of.

bouquet of plums on the shoul-
der Of a dress that was fashioned
Of aQuamarine blue crepe.
