 It was back in 1920 that Rotary Club members of New York City were so impressed by the woeful lack of understanding by adults of the problems of tomorrows and women they decided to do something about it. The activity they started had so universal appeal that it has gone far beyond Rotary circles. In America it is now called Boys and Girls Week and is administered by a national com mittee of which Major John L. Griffith, of Chicago, famed Big Ten athletic commissioner is current chairman.
 Boys and Girls Week is not just an American institution It, like Rotary has spread around the world adapting itself to conditions and taking on local color

Did He Really Shoot Them?

Among the stranger than fiction tales
going around about Adolph Hitler is the
one that charges him with deliberately
shooting the African troops, who were
captured with French troops, in the battle
of France
For many centuries it has been the Gus
tom for the conquerer to accord the cour-
tesies of war to the conquered. Such cour-
tesies have included quarter and food, un-
til the cessation Of hostilities, and then
an honorable discharge. This practice was
based upon the theory that soldier
shoald not be incriminated for defending
his flag on the battlefield.
If Hitler has really directed the execu-
ton Of African troops before a firing squad
the Christian world should know the rea-
son that prompted such course. It does
not seem likely that a whole group of
thousands of soldiers should be found
guilty Of misdemeanor warranting this
punishment. The report arouses a deep
suspicion that Herr Hitler means business
when he says that Negroes havesno place
among Nordics While one does not agree
with his thesis, nor his definition of Nor
dic,' better method Of separating the
groups might be suggested Doubtless not
single African trooper would have re-
belled against being sent back TO Africa.
But were they given that option2 On the
other hand were they really shot, We.
hope not. We hope that even Hitler
could not be that inhuman. The judg-
ment of unwritten history rests upon the
head of any man who would stoop to such.

Divorce Is "A
Wicked Instrument

Too many lives, too many homes lie
wrecked from the folly of divorce. The
percentage Of divorced persons, who
finally adjust their lives satisfactorily is SO
low as to call for strong protests on the
part Of the moral forces Of the country.
So important is this problem that the
following article, by Benjamin E. Buente,
is reprinted from the Religious Digest:
1t is estimated there are 100000 child
rem involved annually in American
divorces. About six out of ten divorces
are "repeaters," that is, either one or the
other, or both Of the persons concerned
have been married and divorced before.
This alone makes it evident that every ef-
fort should be made to make the first mar
riage a success.
Marriages in which there are children
appear to be more successful than child
less marriages. The Importance of chill
dren in cementing the marriage relation
ship and in holding the parents together
cannot be overestimated. Furthermore,
marriages which has lasted five years have
a greater chance for success than those
under FIVE years. 1t has been said that
after five years, the wife has learned TO
make good cup Of coffee, or the husband
has becomed resigned to drinking bad
cup of coffee. This refers of course, to
the period of adjustment after which
husband and wife become SO dependent
on each other that one cannot get along
easily without the other.
Marriages in which the wife is gainfully
employed have more difficulty than mar
riages where the wife's entire interest is
devoted to her family. The most common
grounds for divorce are cruel treatment,
non-support, and abandonment
If the matter Of marriage would receive
more serious consideration, the problem
OF divorce to great extent would solve it
self A vital factor in any successful mar
riage is the element of compatibility A
husband and wife who have common in
terests are more apt to be happy in their
marital relationships than those whose in
terests are widely divergent. 1t has been
said that opposites attract but my exper-
fence has been that they frequently blow
up One of the most important things to
consider il the matter of compatibility u

and 10th of November--or Just after
the election. Provisions of the bill
can be roughly summarized as fol-
lows:
Every male citizen and every male
alien of the United States who, on
the day Of registration, is between
the ages Of twenty-one and thirty
six must register. Aliens who have
not declared their intention of be-
coming citizens will be exempt from
service
The length Of service is twelve
consecutive months except in case
Congress declares national emer-
gency, whereupon the conscripted
men may be required to continue
to serve as long as necessary in the
interest of defense. At the end Of
the twelve month period Of service
the conscripts arc then transferred
TO the Reserve, where they arc sub
jcct to duty until the age Of forty
five, or for period Of ten years.
BY serving in the Regular Army for
two additional years after the one
year training period, the conscripts
| may obtain exemption from reserve
training and service.
Service Of conscripted men is re-
| stricted to the limits Of the Western
! Hemisrher tcrrit ories and possessions
of the United States, and the Philip
pine Islands.
Quotas Of men to be conscripted
| shat be fixed for each state accord
ing to populations, with credits
against such quotas being given for
men who have already voluntarily
enlisted in the armed forces Of the
country.
Members Of the Regular Army.
Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard,
National Guard, Reserve Corps. Mil

Is Maine a
Good Barometer

Much Is being made of the recent Maine
Republican victory, as indicative of a ma
tIonal landslide for the COP. in the fall
election. It only takes an ordinary me-
mory to recall the enthusiasm caused by
an election in the same state during the
last presidential campaign. Maine went
Republican, but the fact had little if any
influence on the nation at large Many
traditions were upset in that election The
Literary Digests presidential poll had
shown that the country was overWhe I'M
ingly Republican in its sentiments Yet,
the defeat of that party was disgracefully
unproportionate, while the Digest lost
many Of its readers, who took the attitude
that something was wrong with the poll
Now comes Maine in another election
that seems to point to national sentiment
Can this instance be relied upon any more
than the last2 IF the Republicans spent
undue funds in persuading and influencing
this election it will have no more bearing
on the country's fall vote than the Maine
poll of four years ago.
But there are those, who feel that the
conditions are different at this time, that
Maine is still holding to what she knew at
first and to what other states, even in the
deep south, have, to their sorrow, found
out: namely, that the New Deal is fizzle.
If this is true the Maine barometer is sig
nifcant Of Republican landslide this fall.
