friendless, cold, haggard ghost of
a house.
The Dodge estate couldn't sell
it. The property will be easier to
sell with the house removed. There
are still men in Detroit who could
pay the price, but the fashion has
changed. These American castles,
which would make Marlborough
Blehneim look like a weekend
lodge. have seen their day pass
Who shall mourn for them? Few
indeed
1t is still possible for Americans
of outstanding ability or luck to
have homes on q grand scale. But
the houses built on a scale of sheer
ostentatious grandeur, far beyond
any sanely imaginable need of their
occupants-they are passing. They
are passing, not because an indig-
nant people tore them down as
h appened in pre-revolutionary
France, or in Russia, but because
native American good sense, made
dizzy for a while by the merry-go-
round of the twenties, has come
back to balance.

NO PLACE TO co
50 MISCHIEF STARTS

Idleness is the breeding ground Of trou-
BILE. for adults and children alike. Adults.
if they are Of a mind to. can keep them
selves busy. For the youngsters whose
interests have not yet broadened beyond
a very limited field of activity, II Is not
so easy.
That is why many of the BOYS taken
into custody in HOltville and FL Centre
following an epidemic of petty thievery,
involving mostly automobile accessories,
told Probation Officer Z. A. Nance that
I'VE didn't have anything else to do.
For an adult. the excuse would have
been a pretty weak one. For youngster,
it is strong enough. In effect what jheE
said to Nance was
eve had no place to go for entertain
ment We couldn't afford to go swim
ing every day. There is no place we could
90 in the evenings to dance and be to-
gether. (The boys ranged in age from
15 to 21.) The only places we could get
together in the daytime were the pool
halls"
Almost without exception, the boys m
dicated they would have welcomed the
establishment of some sort OF fecrea1
tional center or facilities such as would
give them the something to do they
needed so badly
Where does all that leave US, as a COM
munity? ,..-,.-
Certainly it in no manner indicates
lifting of responsibility from the shoul-
ders of parents "a responsibility this
column has insisted upon for many
months. 1t does, however, present an
additional problem to a community which
faces the facts squarely. The facts are
that not even children whose parents
maintain the strictest and most intelll-
gent control are immune from trouble
when thev associate with others, less well
directed, who turn to mischief to while
away the time that hangs so heavy on
juvenile hands.
In Difference to realism, we must ad-
nit that not all parents discharge their
obligations, that all children are there
by affected, and that the community, as
a result has forced upon it responsible
ity to society as a whole. The respons-
ibility can find expression in giving the
children something to do.

THE SILK
STOCKING SCRAMBLE
lCulver CitY Star-NeWsl

Culver City Star-News)
August achieved historic distinction as
dating the greatest silk stocking scramble
in the history of the world.
And it was no small scramble. Approx
imately half of the 130,000,000 inhabi-
tants of this country are of the sex bent
on sheathing its calves in sheer silk, or,
at least, silk.
Those too young or with elbows too
tender to get into the stocking counter
stampede were represented by harder
battlers.
Hitler and Stain have few million
men engaged at strategic points along
a front of 2000 miles or so. But here in
the great American stocking scramble
was the charge of tens of millions.
They We're engaged not along single
line They swarmed conqueringly over
a great eXpanse of terrain from the tide
washed shores of Cape Cod, Mass, to
Tatoosh. Wash, whose hardy fishing folk
watch the sun go down into the Pacific
ocean; from Blackjack, Mimi, at the
head waters of the mighty Mississippi to
Ell Paso, Tex, where Mexican maldens
trekked across the international bridge
from JuareZ, Mexico, to join the charge
of the skirts: from Gnaw Bone, Ind, to
Southern California and from and to all
other points of trade in this broad land.
All had part. 1t was a nationwide
stampede Millions of women with but
a single thought.
And now the stocking dealers and max
ers come forth to say, Don't worry"
that they have few aces up their sleeves
and that there will be hosiery for every
one now and in the time to come.
Of course, some substituting may be
necessary, but this is an age of ingenuity.
There are nylon, rayon and other artifi-
cial fabrics. Should all other sources
fail, there is cotton, American-grown cot
ton, in the warehouses, in the pod and in
prospect with the return Of each growing
season.
The return of cotton stockings to the
market places wouldn't start a scramble.
However, in this distraught and out-of-
joint stage of civilization, who shall say
what may be worn next year or the next.
Cotton may become a badge of patriotism.

A SYSTEM OF PARKS
is NOT ENOUGH

There are in most Imperial Valley
cities one or more public parks, so-called,
in which juvenile recreation programs
could be developed. As they stand now,
most of them are practically worthless
for such use. They consist of trees and
grass. and a fey benches. A few make
a pretense at having playground equip
ment, but even that is intended largely
for N1ildren Just past the baby stage
Active, adventuresome boys are not
going to a park just to sit on the grass
and talk. If they do, they'll talk only
long enough to plan some more active
pursuit.
Development of the parks with an eye
to juvenile entertainment might not be
a complete solution. but it would be
step in the right direction. And there
is a lot of room for development.
In Ell Centro, for instance, the north
half of the county plot opposite the
court house (Which is today poor eX-
cuse for a park if ever there was one),
could be turned into a series Of playing
fields, with the proper equipment set up
in season If the equipment such as
football goal posts, baseball diamonds
and paraphernalia, basketball hoops and
tennis courts in sufficient number were
available, the boys would organize their
own games.
Give them some place to go, and they
will find their own things to do. a
Our Job is to see that the places they
90 are conducive to mental and moral
health.

THE CURE FOR GOSSIP

(William Allen White)
An item in the Atchinson Globe, en-
titled "The Eleventh Commandment"
which, being translated, means "Thou
shalt not gossip" is appearing in the
papers with editorial comment
Gossip, like sin, is easy to sock, to
Whack in short to condemn. But, also
like sin, it is hard to stop.
Take it by and large, there is just one
cure for gossip that is to print the facts
that breed gossip. Half of all gossip is
sheer lying, putting two and two together
to make five. But of those who are Cos
newspaper and say, in effect: Here's an
item. First, this is two, and second,
this is two more, and the sum of these
items is four. Please print it in the
paper"
But no. When slander attacks a man
he gets sensitive and doesn't want any
thing in the paper-not line, not word
He is Mortified at any publicity that will
convey the cold unimportant truth upon
which the misinterpreted facts of gossip
