TRAINING YOUNG DRIVERS

What can he done to train young
automobile drivers to operate their
cars correctly and safely? Many of
them are so impetuous and impa-
tient that they create serious
peril. Many parents will say they
keep talking to son and daughter,
but the youngsters keep doing these
same things.
There is a considerable demand
that the schools give such training.
Some of them do so now. Some may
say the young people are so rushed
With their present studies, that they
can't take on any more school
work.
A youth who has become public
peril could well he required to do a
little less book work and find out
more about the rules of the road. 1t
may be expensive TO put courses of
driving instruction into
schools. but the costs of bad driving
ire already enormous and will con-
inue so until people are taught to
lrive better.

R0OSTER SALrTE DIsLIKED

The poets have written beautiful
verses about the cherry call of the
cock as he salutes the dawn. In
many places where this hopeful
sound is heard, the sleepers com
plain they are aroused too early. In
St. Louis. the Chamber of Commerce
anti-noise committee reports a num-
ber of protests against this sound.
Apparently the only way to cure
Mr.. Rooster of this habit is to chop
off his head. which many of us are
reluctant to do. So far as possible
families should be encouraged to
keep poultry. One can sympathize
with the light sleeper who is too
easily awakened. Perhaps if he could
look at the ROSTERS joyful call as
one of the pleasant sounds Of coun-
try and suburban life. it would seem
a calming suggestion that all is well.
and he can turn over for one more
nap.

.THE WEDDING MARCH MONTH

The strains of the wedding march
echo through thousands Of churches
and homes as the June days pro-
ceed. Blushing grooms march up to
the altar. while the feminine portion
of the audience issues its "Ohs" and
"ahs" i'm admiration of the lady's
loveliness. Then the fateful words
are said. and the vows are made to
love and cherish until death do them
part A hush spreads over the as
semblage as such solemn things are
said.
Love still dominates the world
but il takes a bit of courage to allow
it full fruition now. Many young
people are delaying this step be-
cause the business skies are not
clear. There are plenty of coura-
geous ones left who believe that
Providence cares for willing and in
dustriOus folks.
Marriage is said to promote in
dustry and good habits. The young
man who had celebrated too freely
now has a regulating power. which
should check any too frolicsOme
wanderings. And the girl whose only
thought has been on her dancing and
her makeup. should see that life is
something more than that, and must
be faced i'm a new spirit.
The question often rises as to whe-
ther young people who have quite
limited incomes should marry. IT
they would compare their incomes
with those their parents had when
they married, they would find in
countless cases that they have much |
greater resources. The cost of living
has greatly increased. but if people
were willing to live in a simple way
as their parents did. and avoid the
more costIjy, ip6Ieasniries.' the small in
come might do pretty well. Mar
riage is said to make people work
harder. If they do that, better
chances are likely to come.
So best wishes to all setting sail
On the turbulent sea of matrimOny. 1
Nay they have a safe and peaceful
yoyage to the port of their dreams. 4

COLLEGE HONORs

Now comes the annual time when
the colleges and universities hand
out the learned degrees. These GER
tify that a vast army of students
have become Bachelors of Arts.
Then other groups have become Doc
tors of Philosophy. Masters of Arts,
etc. Some of the Bachelors of Arts
don't look as if they had thoroughly
mastered the art of study. Or at
least few years after graduation
you see but slight evidence of know
ledge of these arts.
In an age which values money
more than learning. and social prom
inence more than scholarship. it is
we'll that some authority gets up
and commends men and women for
climbing the steep hill of know
ledge.

J. Edgar Hoover, hero Of eyery
American boy and Chief of the Fed.
eral Bureau of Investigation, gives
a G-Mar's advice to parents, in an
article BY himself and Herbert Cor
ey published in the current issue OF
Woman's Day Magazine.
Although a bachelor, there is
probably no man in the United
States better qualified to discuss
children, for he has had more ex-
perience than any other person in
the world with men who were
brought up wrong as boys.
Mr.. Hoover says the whole matter
Of good citizenship revolves around
the single proposition of honesty,
and for that reason he would put
truthfulness first in dealing with a
child. If he had a son, Mr.. Hoover
says, he'd tell him the truth, encour-
age him to join the Boy Scouts, have
him go to church. give him duties
to perform, and urge him to take
part in good rough games.
'If had a son, I'D swear to do
one thing" Mr.. Hoover writes in
Woman's Day. I'D tell him the truth.
I'd never let him catch me in a lie
because l wouldn't tell him any lies.
wouldn't skimp the truth, either.
That might be a trial at times, for
little boys are sometimes very in
quisitive and persistent. Some of the
thousands who visit the display
rooms of the Federal Bureau of In
vestigatiOn will certainly grow up
to be cToss-examiners
This matter of the whole truth
is doubly important because every
boy is a herO-wOrshipper. His incli-
nation is to look up to his father as
head of the house, a repository of
all knowledge, the universal provid-
er, the righteous Judge. He cannot do
so If he's continually catching his
father in half-truths. A lier is a
weakling and a boy admires !
strength. No matter how difficult it
might be, I'd tell my boy the truth.
"And in return I'd insist that he
tell the truth. That might be hard to |
enforce. But though some scientists /
have said that all children are born /
liars. it's certain that the courage !
Gus telling of truth is a character |
builder. If my son broke a rule and |
told the truth l wouldn't punish him.
But If he tried to take advantage of
me by covering deliberate mischief
with a cloak of truth I'd show him
that's cheating-and penalize him
for II.
Each year a parade of rogues
passes under the eyes of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. They're of
all sorts-handsome, old, young.
rich, ragged. plausible. murderers.
.hieves, fOrgers. They're alike only
in one thing: They're all liars.

of honestly. A truthful

GETTYSBURG RTERNAI LIGHT

1t is expected that President Roose-
velt will dedicate the eternal light
peace memorial overlooking the bat
tlefield at Gettysburg, Penn, on July
3. This light will be a symbol of
eternal peace between North and
South. One of the inscriptions on
this monument will say: "An endur-
ing light to guide us to unity and
fellowship"
The sight of that light burning
forever in peace and quiet will be
strange contrast to those dreadful
days of July 1. 2 and 8, 1868, when
$4,000 Federal and Confederate
soldiers met in deadly combat, in
which nearly $4,000 men were killed
or wounded. Where cannons rOared
and men groaned and sank into death
now visitors will hear only the quiet
singing of birds and see only the
beauty of a national park and the
peaceful resting places of the heroic
dead.
The United States is a vast cOun-
try, almost the biggest one on earth.
Its different sections include differ
ent types of people, with more or
less conflicting interests. They are
located so far away from each other
that it is easy for Observation-Disclosures
10 develop. North and South and
East and West have wrong ideas
lbout each other. Every section at
ines does things that are against
he welfare and just claims of other
ections.
What can be done to produce the
ternal friendship and unity which
his light is supposed to symbolic?
Iuman sympathy and understanding
re necessary. People must be as
eady to listen to just complaints
.om their fellow countrymen living ,
of miles away as they are
, attend to the needs of their own
,,
If this spirit can but prevail. the
lernal light at Gettysburg will not
c a mere symbol, but an object that
Expresses a living reality. and the
fection and enthusiasm of a har-
lOnious nation. :

go wrong. also trying to help them
get back to normal life.
The road back can he found, if
the youth who has gone wrong really
wants to find it, II is not an easy
road. II would be less difficult il
people were more generous toward
those who are sincerely trying to find
it.
The graduates of prisons are not
the only ones who need to find the
road back. Thousands of young men
who are wandering aimlessly around
the country should seek it, They
usually left home full of eager de-
sire to find work. and with feeling
that any place was better than the
dull old town. Now they hate to go
back and take what their home town
has to offer, because it would seem
as if they had failed.

belliOus against home influences, that
they went out ION their own" Many
went TO large cities. hoping for am
