L American mothers about their
daughter behavior is a strange and
mysterious thing.
Because they don't want to be-
lieve it, and it is humiliating and
troublesome to believe it, they simply
refuse to credit any suspicious of the
girls morals; their girls don't drink
and they don't go to night clubs and
restaurant bars and hotel lounges
and roadhouses. Jean and Marjorie
are Just dear old-fashioned daugh-
ters-they don't know anything
about such places
"The others may have been drink
ing. but our Jean wasn't" say the
mothers, when the scandal breaks, or
the car turns. over, or the whole
young crowd is rounded up in the
police court. "We had two drinks"
the Sullen young voices admit, when
the investigation starts.
1t is always just two. Perhaps
even their young audacity doesn't
dare claim that it was only one.
1.-TWO" admits to more than one, and
often stands for seven or eight or
ten.
Marjorie went into that bar with
the Davis girl" says NJ arjorie's
mother. "She had no idea that it was
such rough place. Poor little thing,
she simply wasn't sophisticat e d
enough to realize what was going
on"
WELL, perhaps Marjorie was too
w innocent in heart to get the full
meaning of the whole thing, but
Marjorie's mother isn't an ignorant
adolescent, and it is about time that
she walked up to the fact that a good
deal is going on. That public bars
are being thronged with young
women every afternoon and evening,
and that the moral fiber Of the whole
nation is being slowly but systemati-
cally undermined by them.
Your notwithstanding little girl
knows a great deal more than you
think she does. She is laughing at
jokes of which you couldn't see the
point at all. She is laughing at mat
ters that you have always handled
with seriousness and reticence. She
has a vocabulary of brief terms for
the essential facts of life that would
horrify you.
She may have picked some of this
up at school, for young humans are
rather close to the earth, filled with
natural curiosity, and apt to feel that
because certain subjects are not
made material for dinner table con-
versation they must be filled with
fascination and thrills. Also, basic
physical truths are often awkwardly
impaired to children at home, or
withheld from them entirely as dis
gushing and unnecessary, and their
appetites for them are consequently
sharpened.
DUT it is in after-school hours that
u the night club, bar, lounge, road
house lingering begins, and it is from
these little separate hothouses of i'm
morality that a nationwide wave Of
vice is starting. This years stats
tics on motor casualties are stagger-
ing; we are actually running more
young bodies on our highways than

1.-TWO drinks"
In great eastern city last year
| sat in court whole morning listen
ing to the accident cases. More than
half of them began when idle women,
seated at bar, decided to ride home
with men who had had 1.-TWO drinks"
One case was that of girl of IA.
She was a gentle little thing, she
looked horribly frigh tened. Her
mother, seated beside her, cried
steadily. She might we'll cry.
1T WAS the second time Marian had
l appeared before this Judge. The
mother was working in defense
plant; she could not watch the girl
continually. America needed the
mother; the mother, deserted, needed
her salary; nobody needed Marian.
So Marian was packed off to re-
form institution for one year, poor
little scared thing,
ut was Penny JOhnsOn's fault"
Marian burst out in an agony, when
the fatal sentence was pronounced,
and her mother tainted away. "She
took me the other time and she took
me last week to Harry's place. l
never would have gone! She told ne
Id like cocktail"
This didn't change the verdict.
Marian's mother, who was once so
proud of her!-is a lonely, hard
working woman still. Marian is still
in big, roomy, comfortable place
where there is plenty of food, and
games, and library-but where
there are barred gates, too.
Well, perhaps it was the other
older girls fault. But | don't believe
it. Fourteen is quite old enough to
have some sense, some instinct of
self-protection. Mothers are quite
justified in claiming that they can't
hold onto the hand of big girls in
their teens, day and night. They
shouldn't be expected to.
Girls of that age should be able
to make their own decisions, and one
of them-frmly inculcated by mother
from the tenth year on, should be:
"YOu never under any conditions
60 near a bar, or indulge in any
drinking away from your own
home"
And many mothers might add,
nor at home either"
YOUNG girls don't have to form
1 drinking habits any more than
their brothers do. The old idea used
to be that it was inevitable for the
boys, few years of drink and dissi-
patton, sowing of wild oats" That
kept them safe the rest of their lives.
But nowadays many girl scan-
dalizes her brother by her much
more lax behavior, by her speech and
her jokes and her lack of standards
generally. And many boy gets
through to manhood without spend
ing 20 hours a week lounging at a
bar.
During the long generations
when that sort Of vice was confined
to the young males, it was women
who were patient and decent; who
held to the code Of finenesS and
purity, frowning down coarseness
and blasphemy and drunkenness;
waiting for the day when their men

LONDON, Dec. l0.-Gen. Sir Ber-

the British 9th Army, has written a
book on the use of air power. High
service commanders say it is the
textbook for the new invasion of
Europe
The book was written soon after
Gen, Montgomery landed with his
troops in Italy. Privately printed
and circulated in high army and air
circles, it sums up tie whole expert
ence of combined air and land pow
er which was born in the desert, de-
veloped over the mountains of Tu-
nisia and Sicily and perfected in the
early weeks of the invasion of Italy
The book probably will not be
available generally until after the
war because of Gen. Montgomery

No Chance With Red Sox

What Griffith obtained in ex-

and Spence, an outfielder apparently
with less punch than even the will
lowy Welaj Spence had batted 232,
which approximately is what your
grandmother would bat if you sent
her up to the plate with instructions
merely to hold the bat over the
plate.
Spence, though, hadn't done much
more than decorate Boston's bench.
He couldn't break into action and
remain there because the Red Sox
were going along all right with an
outfleld composed of Ted Williams,
Dominic Di Maggie and Lou Finney
or Pete Fox. 1t was wonderful
sort of outfield that boasted .4O6

Manager Joe Cronin of the Red

the few occasions he examined

Turf Mile Mark
ByCount Fleet
Is Predicted
Hot 1:383/5W Workout
By Derby Fovorite
Amuzes Checkers
BY SID FEDER,

Associated Press Sports Writer.
NEW YORK, April Ia loud
whistle of amazement went up from
the railbirds as the brown streak
tipped by the finish pole and the
knock down the champ" marching
society dissolved right there.
The streak was Count Fleet, Mrs.
John D. Hertz's Kentucky Derby
glamour boy, and he had just
whizzed through what the older
buzzards among the railbirds said
was the fastest mile workout ever
turned in by horse this early in
the season after winter vacation.
The work" came up quietly with
the sun Tuesday at Belmont and
few knew about it until the clockers
had their watches checked. The
Count romped the furlongs in
1888 3-5, and the only times that
even came close this early, the older
birds" said, we're by Grey Lag and
Sporting Blood, couple of gee
gees from way back in the '20s.
= Workout Held Clincher.
WELL" one old-timer shrugged,
that's the convincer. Nobodys
gonna knock down the Count after
that one"
He wasn't kidding. The favorite
early spring sport of pooh pooling
the Derby choice is as missing now
as those 2-pound sirloins smothered
in mushrooms. Sure they still talk
up Ocean Wave and Blue Swords
and Devils Thumb and they point
out that Count Fleet runs with his
head too high. But pin 'em all down,
and they come back to the Count.
So, this spring, the fgger flberts
are spending their time trying to
prove that the Count not only can
waltz in the Derby, but actually
is distinct threat to Equipoise's
great mile record of 1:342s set IL
years ago.
1t all comes down to a matter OF
2.76 inches per second. The filberts
argue that the high-headed Count
ran the mile last year in 1:344s, or
$50 feet per second. Ekky tore it
off at 5593 per second. The differ
ence is % feet.
Count Has Grown Up.
And one of the flberts pointed
out, 'the Count did it as a 2-year-
old. Now he's grown up and his
stride has lengthened If he's just as
fast as he was-and that 1885
makes it appear his motors still
hot-then Ekky's record is about as
safe as the last pound of butter in
the neighborhood grocery"
The grownup part of it is easy
to see. Just visit the Count in his
barn at Belmont and you can spot
the difference. He's added three
inches in height and has put on
more than so pounds. and he still
loves to run. But Derby hot ones"
have a habit of turning into ice
cubes. So the winter book bettors
start crossing their fingers-just in
case of tie.
