Immoral Behavior

This week Faye Eldreth, a young girl
from Watauga county was brought before
Mayor H. c. Tucker charged with nuisance
and public drunkenness. She was found
guilty of the charge and given a sentence
of IL months in penal institution for i'm
moral women.
This was not the first time the girl had
been brought before the Mayor, and not
the first time she had been sentenced to
such an institution. Judging from her be-
havior here she should have been kept in
a place of this nature or at home under
strict surveillance.
Public drunkenness within itself is mex
cusable. The other charge, nuisance, has
been defined as offensive, injurious, or an
noying.
Judge Tucker is to be commended for
his efforts to rid the community of indi-
viduals of this character; for it is only
through definite authority that such be-
havior can be definitely curbed.

Freedom to express any opinion,

it is impossible to permit everybody

WAR INTERPRETIVE

has succeeded, perhaps beyond ex-
pectations.
The proof of that lies in the fact
that the German and Italian ar
mistice makers were fully aware,
when they demanded internment
of the fleet, that France could car
ry out these terms only at the price
of a clash with the British fleet.
They knew that the ships were
under British guns; that if they
were permitted to escape to add
to England's danger, the Churchill
war ministry might be toppled
from power as was that of Neville
Chamberlain in the wake of the
allied debacle in Norway.
History is apt to set that item
in the Franco-German and Franco
Italian armistice terms as the most
ingenious ever devised to liquidate
completely a military victory.
It struck directly at the heart
of Franco-British friendship which
for nearly a century has been the
dominant factor in balance-of-
power Europe for which Berlin and
Rome have decreed a new order
of. their own creation. Future his
torians almost certainly will rem
der the verdict that it was con-
ceived for that purpose and in the
hope and expectation that it would
tend to throw not only the emer-
gency government of humbled
France, but the French people, in
to the arms of the Axis allies.
Crushed France asked a ''sold-
ier's peace" She received-a d
accepted-something so utterly out
side the realm of a soldiers con-
ception of his duty to an ally that
historians will wrangle more over
why a soldier premier accepted
these terms than over the motives
of the Axis mates in debating
them.
No one can guess the ultimate
effect Of the fleet surrender clause
upon Franco-British relations and
the destiny of Europe or the world.
Its. immediate military effect
upon the conflict is more easily
discernable. 1t has definitely clFa
ed the air for imperilled Britain In
more than one way; but it has
not, so far as it is possible to fore
see, changed the probable strategy
of Germany's impending blow at
England.
That was certainly planned and
is being put into execution without
reference to the status of the
French fleet. Axis strategists never
could have counted upon that
fleet. a

However, one cannot fail to rec

agencies and institutions to continue
to practice rigid economy.
''There is only one safe course to

The department of labor report
showed 1,O36 plants had l43,626
workers on May Is and 1926 ex-
actly month before and paid them
$2,232,363 for the week as compared
with $2,301, ,674 a week in April.
Gains in payroll and employment
were reported by tobacco, lumber,
printing, structural clay and retail
trade establishments.
These were offset by declines IN
cotton, hosiery, furniture and mis-
cellaneous manufacturing plants.
Silk and rayon plants had a slight
increase in workers but paid them
less as did wholesale houses but
mines and quarries had slightly less
workers and paid them more.

VAST CLEAVAGE

Roosevelt's expression of five points
necessary for peace among nations
merely shows again what a vast
cleavage there is between the view
point of the United States president
and that of the authoritarian states,
Informed German sources said to-
day.
Further, these sources said, since
the United States is not involved
in the European war, it hardly is
conceivable that she expects TO par
ticipate in peace negotiations that
will end the conflict.
Hence, Roosevelts remarks must
be regarded, they said, as designed
for home consumption.

Dorothy Dix Says a:
Mothers Write Own Price Tag
In Regard to Child's Respect

who has ungrateful children
brought her misfortune on her own
head. For every grown man and
woman treats mother exactly as she
taught them to treat her.
Babies do, not come into the
world with an ethical code in their
hands. They grab for what they
want and take what they can get,
without any consideration of the
rights of others or their obligations
to them. They have to be civilized
and taught the amenities of life.
So it is perfectly logical and in
evitable that if from its earliest
infancy a child sees his mother
make doormat of herself before
him that he will trample over her.
If she asks nothing he will give
her nothing. If she enslaves her
self to him he will treat her as an
inferior. If she lets him abuse her
he will insult her at his pleasure,
for such is human nature.
Every mother whose adult sons
and daughters fail to show her re-
spect and appreciation has only
herself to blame. You have to teach
children how to treat you and to be
grateful for what you do for them,
just as you have to teach them
how to eat with their forks. You
can't cultivate selfishness in chill
dren for 20 years and then have
them turn into altruists.
The most important thing that
any woman can remember is that
every mother writes her own price
tag for her children.
DOROTHY DIX,
Evening star., 1940-05-29

Among the most tragic letters
that come to this column are those
from the mothers of ungrateful
children. They sob out the oldest
hnd most pitiful story in the world,
Of the long nights and days in
which they have watched by the
bedsides of sick babies until they
almost tainted with fatigue, of
how they ate scraps that their
growing boys and girls might have
good food. of how they toiled and
sacrificed that their children might
be properly clothed and educated.
And now their children are ado
1escent and do not treat them with
even the civility one would show
TO a servant. Their girls and boys
insult them to their faces. No
word of thanks, no suggestion even
Df appreciation from the boys and
rirls for whom their mothers have
zone hungry and shabby and
Morked their fingers to the bone.
Or, these forlorn mothers write, that
heir children are grown up now
Ind have husbands or wives and
fnildren of their own and that
Maey are so absorbed in their own
Nves that they never even think
0f mother.
b About the only time the chill
Aren remember mother is when
Ehey get out of a job and want
some place where they can eat
Kithout paying for it, or when
they need a little money and they
Know that mother will spread the
Mltter little thinner on her toast
and put little less sugar in her
tea to pinch it out of her meager
income for them, or when there is
sickness in the family and they
want good nurse without pay.

the metal underpinnings. These

especially pleasant when shaded by
a large umbrella, for they do have

For the porch they may be used to
good advantage with the popular

most attractive features of these
pieces is the fact that they may re-
