4 MOTHER whose only adored
~ daughter is bent and deter
~ mined upon marrying a youth
a who is lazy loafer, drunk
ard and gambler, asks me if I can
tell her any way in which she can
break off such an undesirable match.
! Oh. yes. there are hundred ways
Of killing cat besides choking it to
death on butter, but one of them is not
by assault and battery. When fathers
and mothers see their darling children
about to commit hari-kari by rushing
into marriages that are bound to wreck
their lives and end in tragedy, their
first impulse is to forbid the banns
and to shut the door in Mary's boy
friends face, or threaten John with
dire penalties if he even so much as
looks at Susie Smith again.
The ensuing result is merely to hurry
on the wedding Parental opposition
has famed more Pickering fancies,
that would have died out If left alone,
into the flame of passion and precipi-
tated more ill-advised marriages than
any other one thing.
There are many reasons why this
should be the case. One is thet the
misguided youngsters are at the time
of life when they are almost morbidly
jealous Of their independence and re-
sentful OF any authority exercised by
their elders. They are particularly
infuriated at their parents interfering
In their choice of wife or husband.
The nerve of them! What do old peo-
pie know about matters of the heart,
anyway? They'll show Pop and Nom
thing or two. And so they step
around to the magistrate and tie the
knot with their tongues that they
cannot unite with their teeth.
MOST of all, parents promote a
marriage instead of prevent it
when they foam at the mouth every
time Toms or Susies name is men,
toned and spend their time knocking
their faults and explaining what un-
desirable members of the family thev
would be. This puts the children
on the defensive and makes them
partisans who refuse to recognize the
faults in Tom and Susie that thew
cannot fail to see.
No. The situation calls for diplo-

If purchased trees or shrubs
are properly handled by the
nurserymen they will come to
you with balls of earth around
the roots and the earth wrapped
with burlap. If they come any
other way you should file

are that the plants will not
thrive even if they do not
promptly die.
When roasting chicken or tur-

BY ANGELO PATRI.

THE boy that stood before the Judge
was scarcely out Of his infancy.
The bloom Of innocence was still upon
his cheeks, but he had broken a law,
and here he stood at the bar Of Justice.
The Judge looked long and earnest-
ly at him. He studied the papers in
his hand. He looked keenly at the
policeman who was standing beside
the boy, noting the sympathy in the
officers face and the gentleness in
his touch as he guided the boy toward
the bench. He looked at the boys
mother. white-faced, tense with fear.
Then he cleared his throat and spoke
to the boy.
you broke the law. You should
have known better If I carried out
the letter Of the law you would be sent
to reform school. You are young. with
many years ahead of you in which to
make good this mistake. I want to
give you another chance for your sake.
and for the sake of your mother, who
has tried so hard to make a good man
OF you. What do you say? Will YOU
try hard to go straight If I give you
this chance, this one chance?"
A great light came into the boys
face as he lifted it toward the Judge.
He tried to speak, but no words came.
only the tears of relief and gratitude.
Placed on probation for a year"
said the Judge, and dismissed the little
group before him.
Next day the boy went back to
school. He felt the eyes of the other
children upon him and he felt the
teachers silence and aloofness. They
were shy about speaking to him lest
he be shy about speaking to them.
Just go ahead and forget it." said
the principal when he admitted him
that morning. But how could he for
get what hung about him in the very
air? 1T will be hard for little while,
but you'll soon get past it. Keep try
ing to earn your place back" he had
said encouragingly. So the boy clung
to that
Nothing happened to distress him
until last class in the afternoon. The
teacher was elderly and Grabbed and
tired after the days work. The class
were bit tired, too, but he forgot
about that and snapped out a sharp
order for silence. Cant YOU make
less noise finding your seats? Sounds
like company of mules getting to
their stalls" At that one of the
boys stumbled, fell forward on the
paroled boy, who hit his head against
a table corner and laughed nervously.
Il might know you'd disgrace the
class You couldn't behave if there.
wasn't policeman at your elbow.
Keep on the way you're going and next
time you'll convince the Judge that
you really belong in Jail"
There was sudden hush; indignant
glances were shot toward the angry
teacher and the boy crept into his
place, shamed anew.
The teacher did not mean to drive
the boy out of school and into Jail.
but his behavior tended to do lust
that. If there had not been other
forces fighting to save the boy and
help him to save himself, he would
have been lost, If boy needs another
chance, give it to him, whole hearted
ly, generously, until seventy times
seven. Woe to that man by whom
the offense cometh!"

Cleaning Linoleum.

To clean linoleum which has been
cemented down. use mild soap suds
and warm, not hot. water. and scrub
quickly, so as not to loosen the
cement. To keep linoleum looking
new. frequently apply a coat of thin
wax. This gives a seal which helps
prevent stains.

glad to help you in your campaign
for ION time" dates.
We don't blame you for feeling
peeved. The girls habitual lateness
indicates selfishness, and it's certainly
not much fun to sit and sit wondering
why 1t Is that women takes so long
to dress when they have so little to
put on.
"A young man I've seen = lot Of
recently has returned to his home
city for about month. He recently
wrote and asked me TO visit him
there, saying that will be welcome
to stay with his married sister over
= week end. We will all 70 to a
big party together. I'm sure I'll
enjoy myself very much, but have
several questions to ask. First, will
1t be all right for me TO stay with
the sister? (2) Will the young man
expect to pay my train fare? 81
Shouldn't the sister write also
inviting me to stay with her, before
accept her brothers invita- tion?"
m. P. r."
Answer: 1t will be perfectly correct
for you to stay with your friends
sister. And you are correct in believ-
ing that you should receive an invita-
ton from her before making final
plans. If she doesn't write soon. it
would be good idea to send her a
short note. asking whether the plans
her brother has made will cause incon-
venience.
You buy your own round-trip rail-
road or bus ticket, and it would be
thoughtful of you to give your hostess
small gift before leaving for home.
If you double date with fellow
who owns and drives a car will he
expect you to pay for the gasoline?
CAL r."
Answer: Unless you are going to
drive long distance with him be
probably won't expect you to pay for
all, or part. Of the gasoline necessary.
However, he will appreciate your offer
to do so.
If you don't buy gasoline. why not
pick up the refreshment check at the
end of the evening if it's a reasonably
small amount? That will show him
that you want to do your part.
AT = party for about eight
couples which 1 plan TO give, would
1t be correct for me to pair off the
guests myself, rather than have
them select their own partners for
the scavenger hunt? l have my
own reason for wanting to do so.
Also. will it be proper for me to
accompany the other couples on the
hunt with the partner have chosen
for myself? II not, what will do
with him? What are some good
objects for the scavengers 10 bring
In: "R. N w"
Answer: You know the crowd and
your reason Tor wishing to pair them

nave the right to choose teams anG
assign partners in any way you think
best, But it won't be a good idea to
break up romantic combinations (if
any)-the going steady" and Il don't

Doing so will probably handicap the

You may accompany the crowd on

Nautical Novelties
Aviation and National Defense

In the face of the present
world unrest, the question of
national defense, in particul-
ar, air defense, is causing con-
fusion in the minds of the pub
lie.
The startling developments
made in the field of aviation
throughout the world natural
ly have introduced a new naval
function of ever-growing impor-
lance, that of the protection of
the United States against air
attacks.
The Navy believes that the
country's best defense againSv
large-scale air raids from over
seas can be given by the Navy
itself. Since there is no i'm
mediate prospect of an airplane
able to fly to the United States
from across the ocean carrying
a destructive load, any air at
tack must, therefore, come most
of the way in surface ships or
by making intermediate stops
for refueling. The latter could
not be done, however, without
first ablishing great air bases,
and the Navy is the best defense
against such an undertaking.
In considering the former,
our greatest threat of air at
tack, namely airplanes carried
by hostile ships, it must be
borne in mind that such a force
must be met, sunk or driven off
by our naval forces before their
air strength is launched against
our coast.
1t may be seen from the fore
going that no serious threat OF
invasion of our coast, either by
air or ships, is possible so long
as our fleet controls the sea. In
building up naval aviation, the
Navy has required that it's fleet
air arm must conform to the
same fundamental requirements
Which control the development
of all naval forces, namely, that
it is justified only to the extent
that it exercises an important
Influence On the control of the
sea areas and that it must be
capable of operating efficiently

which mounts 16-inch guns.
Battleship Requirements
The battleships U. S. S. Ark
ansas and U.S.S. Texas will be
the first two battleships of
six to be replaced by the pres
ent construction program. These
will be replaced by the Wash
ington and North Carolina,
both of which are under con-
struction.
The U.S.S. New York and the
U.o.S. nevada will be the sec
ond pair of capital ships to be
replaced, and the funds for the
construction start on the two
replacing battleships were pro-
vided in the 1889 Naval APP
preparations act.
The second deficiency bill
provided funds with which to
, commence construction on two
! battleships that will replace the
Pennsylvania and Oklahoma.
