taste, as we'll as good manners, is the
best assurance that boys and girls at
the top of their teens will behave as
human beings approaching maturity.
But l rather hope this letter I
quoted may provoke replies from a
few Jims and Marys. They them
selves can most fairly settle this prob
lem of give and take between parents
and the younger generation. 1t is, for
instance, very hampering to the holi-
day freedom to be obliged to hurry
home because mother insists on hav-
ing meals earlier than any one else -
and on the dot at that!- or because
Dad is going to come home at six and
be waiting. To those who usually have
to live on schedule, not having to be
at definite place at definite time is
chief meaning of holiday"
For mothers to try to be flexible in
this matter of time does not mean dis
carding promptness. 1t is sufficient to
agree to have hampering meal hour
set later. or perhaps to arrange to have
buffet type of menu put aside if the
children are uncertain about when
they will get back.
On the other hand, I'd like to say a
few personal words to Mary and Jim
of the letter and to all others like
them. 1t is only fair to believe that,
when you get back to college, you will
feel very shabby if you have given
nothing of yourselves to Mother and
Dad. There are very few days left this
time but at least enough to make and
keep an engagement with your parents.
Though these holidays are ending.
there will be future times. Before you
come home next time write down in
your books definite engagements with
the family. If you don't do this, you
are apt to think, ''Oh, can see the
family any timer And in the end
''any time" is mo time" This suK-
gestion is, of course, emphasized for
those of you who are especially popu-
lar with the crowd at home, which
probably tries to make your short
holiday as exciting as possible.
To the parents - those especially
whose very unselfshness has made
their children selfish 1T is simple
enough to say: Don't sit on the edge
of your chair listening intently for the
footstep coming up the path. for the
opening of the front door. Don't let
your heart be so centered upon your
children as to have no other interests
which absorb you during the hours of
waiting! In fact, it is hard to say
whether the results of being so en-
crossed in your children as to lose
interest in other things is more I'm
happy for you or for them.
willingly agree that giving advice
is very easy - to succeed in following
it is something else again!

missing he makes it point to find out
where they are, and why. 1t makes it
lot tougher for the boys who are
tempted to try this method of stealing
their fortunes. So far, not a single case
of this type of fraud has been per-
petrated in the banks in which this
procedure has been adopted.
As a matter of fact, Pratt says, they
ought to know that they can't get
away with any kind of stealing. But
these inside robbers. no matter how
clever they may be. are muddle
headed lot. They almost always start,
he says. by just borrowing" and
thinking that they are going to pay
the money back before the loss is dis
covered. But they almost never do.
Instead they go on taking little more
and a little more, until they are in
over their heads.
This is particularly true, he says. of
the most common method of all, called
labbing. One teller whom he caught,
for instance. had started just borrow
ing lunch money from his cash drawer
between paydays. When his loan"
got SO big that he couldn't meet it out
of his salary check. he withheld
deposit made by customer instead
of crediting it to his account. When
the customer began to draw on the
deposit. he withheld larger deposit
from another customer - and SO it
went, pyramiding up and up until he
was caught That is lopbine.
But it is not only the small-salaried
tellers who kid themselves into ''bor-
rowing" in a pinch. In recent case -
typical of many that Pratt solved -
the manager of the savings depart
ment of a big bank in an Eastern city
had embezzled almost $85, 900 by Jug
Cling his accounts. A man respected in
his community. and in line to 60 even
higher in the banks organization, he
had started helping himself to meet
some pressing household bills - and
couldn't seem to stop piling up his
thefts.

manufacturers, many of them large

by the wayside.

was promoted from one department

story. se'@
people say he is the best in
formed banker in this section. The
reason is that he never stops ask
ing questions. I've gotten in taxi
with him and before long he has
found out how much driver makes
a day, what share the company
gets, whether the company is fair
to its employees, how long cab
will last and SO on. A week later
the head of that taxi company may
be asking for a loan and wonders
where John Graham ever learned
so much about his business.
"In one way or another the aver
age business man comes in contact
with at least SO people a week.
Most of us never think of asking
them questions. But think of the
information a man like John

away each week."

THERE'S one thing that
i must be admitted about
Bette Davis; she's not afraid to
stick her chin out. She'll ask
for anything that she thinks she
deserves. If she gets it, fine; if
she doesn't, she proves that
she's a good loser.
She wants to do a play that she
saw last summer in Provincetown-
at least, at the moment of writing
she wants to do it. She persuaded
Warner Brothers to buy it. They're
willing to let her do the movie YER
sion, after it had been produced on
the New York stage with names
that mean something in the legiti-
mate theater.
With characteristic confidence in
her own ability, she can't see why
they won't let her have try at it
in New York. It's said that they're
afraid of what might happen to her

They were shooting an important
scene, in which a midget plane is

plane was turned loose it headed for

Then the crew had to stop work and
