CRIMINAL TRAITS

How early do criminal traits show
themselves in children? Is there any
way by which these dreadful tenden-
cies can be checked? Can you bend
the twig that seems to be starting
crooked, so it will grow into a good
straight tree?.
These are questions anxious par
ents are asking. They see their boy
stealing apples, or little daughter
telling lie about why she was late
in getting home from school. They
Il ask if some evil stain in that child's
life is beginning to show itself. They
pass sleepless nights dreaming of the
dark possibilities of that child's' fu-
ture.
Mrs. J. L. Whitehurst, education
chairman for the General Federation
of Women's clubs. said in a recent
address that if such criminal traits
could be recognized in early youth.
much could be done to prevent young
people from going wrong.
The parents ask what specific
things you can do when you discover
such criminal traits. The old-timers
said, Take the bad boy out into the
woodshed and give him a licking and
beat it out of him." In these indie
pendent times, that might make him
still more rebellious. What is needed
is to give that child some incentive
to good behavior, to show him some |
very desirable result that can be had |
if he will play the game according
to the rules.
A chance to earn some money at
honest work has effaced the criminal
tendencies of many. Many other
boys have become so absorbed in
their baseball and football that the
game of teasing the police seemed
less interesting to them

THE BAROMETER OF PROGRESS

The barometer tells when a storm
is coming and when fair weather can
be expected. The state of retail busi-
ness in a town is a barometer of that
towns progress. If retail trade is
dull, look for storms in that towns
future. There isn't energy and pat
ronage enough there to provide many
jobs for the people, or many trading
advantages for the buying public. So
much money is going away from
home, that a fog of uncertainty COW
ers that towns future.
II retail trade is active and grow
ing. it is a sign of fair weather. The
town will have increasing opportuni-
ties for business and employment.
It will be able to raise more in taxes.
and in contributions to public well
fare agencies. to build better homes,
and make itself attractive to new res
dents. When you spend money at
nome. you help the barometer say
your town sees fair weather ahead.

SUPER HIGHWAYS

The statesmen at Washington are
considering a plan to spend some big
sum of money on super-highways,
to be operated as toll roads. The
construction of these routes would
give work to a large body Of idle
men. and the tolls should eventually
pay back the cost to the govern
ment.
Millions of motorists might gladly
pay such tolls. Also truck compan-
les whose cars drag but slowly thru
congested traffic. could save money
by doing so. Yet it takes some faith
to believe that the American people
would continue to pay those tolls un-
til the roads were paid for. Too
many people feel that the United
States treasury is a bottomless reser-
voir of inexhaustible resources, and
they would get tired Of paying the
money.
Milford chronicle., 1938-02-18
THE SELLING ART

Why is it that some people al
ways do well as statesmen, while
others make no progress at it, and
are never able to hold a job very
long? This is an important question
in a community, for if town has
stores full of efficient salespeople,
that town will extend its trade and
grow and succeed.
The answer seems to be that al
most anyone of good intelligence can
be a successful salesperson, if he will
comply with the requirements OF that
occupation. The first essential ap-
pears to be courtesy and effort to
please. People will not buy OF
grouchy or Indifferent clerk. The
second essential is intelligence. Peo-
pie dislike to buy of clerks who have
made no effort to acquire knowledge
about the goods they sell.
Milford chronicle., 1938-02-18
TOO MANY STUDENTS

DR.. James B. Conant, president Of
Harvard University. says American
universities should reduce their
number of students, to avoid the dan
ger of overcrowding the learned pro-
fessions. Probably the majority of
college presidents would agree.
A great army Of young men are
striving and sweating to pay the ex-
penses of a college education, believ-
ing that a learned degree will help
them earn more money. If too many
of them crowd into these literary
courses, there will be so many grad
yates that many of them will earn
no money at all, until they seek
some plain and simple job.
The world only needs a. limited
number of professional people and
business bosses. Better ask what the
world wants done. before spending
thousands on higher education.
Milford chronicle., 1938-02-18
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE

Honors are given in many schools
for pupils who make records Of per-
feet attendance. It is not so easy in
the season when small people get
colds and sore throats and coughs,
not to speak of more serious trou-
bles.
Children should realize that their
education becomes easier when they
show up behind the school desk each
day. Every absent pupil is drag
on the class. Time has to be taken
when that child returns, to explain
the lessons he has missed. He may
get so behind that he finishes the
term tagging far in the rear.
Children should never be forced to
go to school when they are really
sick, or have ailments they can COM
municate to others. Parents who
keep them out for personal conven-
ience, or because the kids are tired
of study and want to go of on some
good time" are hurting their chill
dren's prospects.
Milford chronicle., 1938-02-18
NATIONAL UNITY

The world has been watching with
some alarm the radical reorganiza-
ton of the German government
which has been accomplished within
a few days by Chancellor Hitler. He
has apparently got all strings Of
power in politics, economics, and
military organization into his own
hands. Now the world asks what
he proposes to do with this vast
concentration of power. Does it
mean he will challenge the world to
fight?
This question Of national unity is
also pressing in the United States.
Such a unity is needed, if it does
not cost too much. Lack of economic
unity slows down production. When
class struggle is created by a
widespread strike, the producing
power of a large section Of the popu-
lation is stopped. That destroys
purchasing power, which throws
many other people out of work.
When some section suffers from
economic calamities, and other states
out of sectional hostility, refuse TO
redress its grievances. that helps |
destroy national prosperity. When |
one section loses its ability to pro- |
duce and consume. other parts of the
country can't sell their products.
How are we going to get this ma
tional unity? The Fascists of Europe
say it is caused by democracy, that
the people are too selfish to hand out
Justice to everybody. Our people say
that in the long run, democracy is
he only sure way to progress.
The first essential in national unity
s general intelligence. If you know
lothing of the troubles of the COM
nunity 1000 miles from you, you
Won't listen to its appeals. The news
apers perhaps do more for national
nifty than any other force, since they
i've information about conditions all 9
yer the country. If we could have
nation of thorough readers. many a
iscords would be swallowed up by Il
uman sympathy for distress and b
Misfortune.

lO.OOO.OOO AUTOMOBILES

A leading engineer predicts that
10 years from now the country
will have nearly 100000 automo-
biles. If the roads and streets seem
crowded now, what shall We do then?
The most serious congestion is in
large cities, and suburban districts
around those places. Street WIDEN
ing and construction of new streets
would involve taking much land now
occupied by valuable buildings, and
thus would be very costly. The prob
lens of the time of 100000 auto
mobiles will have to be solved large
" by traffic signal systems and by
more caution and self control on the
part of drivers. 1t should also occur
to many people that life in and close
to the great cities is too crowded
for comfort, and that they would bet
ter move out to the great open
spaces.
Milford chronicle., 1938-02-18
THE GREATEST SELLING AID

A section of the National Retail
Dry Goods association was told at
New York a few days ago by lead
ing speaker, that Advertising is the
greatest single selling weapon"
The big stores of the country
would probably say that if they
should quit advertising for three
months, their sales would show the
greatest drop they had ever known.
The persistence with which these
stores advertise, and use newspaper
space with such freedom, proves it is
an essential in business. These con-
Germs have studied every possible
way of getting trade. When they
turn to advertising as a chief re-
source, it is the best possible demon
stration of the results it produces.
Is it any less necessary in the ordi-
nary and average store?

LIFE SAVING WORK

The National Board of Fire I'm
derwriters periodically issues book
lets and pamphlets designed TO be
of old in preventing and fighting fire.
A late release deals with the vitality
important problem Of how to deter
mine the correct pressure to obtain
a good fire stream for various dis
tances and hose sizes. This bulletin
is of great interest to industrial es-
tablishments having fire fighting IA
cilities, as well as to fire depart
ments.
A good fire stream is defined as
one that reaches the seat Of the
fire as a solid stream and thus eOols
the material to below the ignition
point" The new leaflet shows, by
chart. the number of pounds Of pres
sure needed per 100 feet Of hose for
different sizes Of noZZles.
Work such as this, done by the
stock fire insurance industry
through the National Board, is not
sufficiently known to the general
public. Constant inspection cam
paigns, testing of various kinds Of
materials and machines, suggestions
for bettering fire departments and
water facilities, anti-arson activity
these are but a few of the worth
while Jobs the industry carries on,
year in and year out, without fam
fare. II has saved thousands Of lives
and untold millions Of dollars.

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY
THOUGHT

The most famous story of George
Washington's early youth is the IA
miliar one of the cherry tree. Faith
er, l cannot tell a lie, l did it with
my little hatchet," he was reported to
have said. If that story is a myth.
he probably showed equal honesty on
other occasions.
AS the nation observes Washing
toms birthday. it notes that the
younger generation of our times are
said to be more sincere than their
elders. who were constantly accused
of pretending to be things they
were not.
How many of MS are willing to
tell the truth when we are placed in
some tight spot? If we could only
get at the truth of our national per-
plexities, our problems would be
largely solved. When we have great
controversies. people seem able TO
see only one side Of them. Labor
says it is right and capital is wrong.
and capital brings on a wholly differ
ent view and set of facts. George |
Washington would find a lack of sin
cerity and fairness there that is in |
with the desire for truth. |

LICENSING CORPORATIONS

A bill is before congress which
would put corporations under a fed
eral licensing system. Under such
a measure. companies that were not
disposed to play the game of honest
business according to the rules,
would be likely to find themselves
out of luck. Probably many serious
abuses would be stopped.
That is a tremendous power to
place in the hands of few men, even
assuming that such boards would al
ways be made up of honest and com
petent citizens. Even the wisest per-
son makes plenty of mistakes. Some
concern might be refused a license to
do business across state lines, when
it was really doing the best it could
under difficult circumstances. What
would its workers thrown out Of a
jobg say to that?

WORLDS MOST DANGEROUS
SPOTS

The abodes of wild and savage
people were once considered the
most dangerous places. but a mis-
sionary priest who has just returned
for a vacation at Cleveland, Ohio, af-
ter 80 years at his school in the
Amazon jungles. reports himself as
bewildered by the rush of automo-
biles on city streets. He apparently
feels safer among the Indians Of
South America.
An Indian, even if Of the most
savage type, perhaps even cannibal,
can usually be conciliated if you
treat him like a friend. Try concil-
iating the crowd of fast automobile
drivers who tear through the streets
Of the cities.
