A COUPLE of boys pleaded guilty to
n driving away an automobile. They
had driven it with such a complete alb
sence of any care whatever that they had
ruined the tires and burned out the bear
ings After they had successfully accom-
plished this they left it at the roadside.
One Of them was II and the other
one was 16. They both had good homes
When arraigned, they pleaded guilty.
Of course, both lived in Grand Ira
verse County. Neither had gotten beyond
the ninth grade in high school, and both
wanted to quit high school because there
they were not making any money. The
homes of both were excellent.
The only excuse l could see in one case
was that the young man thought that he
knew all that it was necessary for him to
know and wanted to get out and make the big
money that is being made now so that he
could spend it and have a good time He had
no idea of saving any of it.
The other, in his 18th year, had been
endowed by nature with a perfectly mag
nificent physique At his age, you expect
young fellow to be awkward and clumsy, if
he has grown fast This fellow was 6 feet, 5
inches tall and weighed 1S5 pounds, and was
beautifully proportional at that-no trace of
awkwardness that could see.
He had a record of truancy and back
wardness in school. His excuse was that he
was much bigger than the boys he was with
that he was ashamed to be classed with them.
Since pleading guilty he had secured job
truck driver and was making, as recolect
it, something like $40 week.
In these two cases, the homes were respec-
table and adequate: The excuses for nonattend-
ance at school seem inadequate, but the existence
of those excuses points 70 a lack in the educa-
tional system of something that is interesting to
boys at that age.
These two fellows did not lack ambition;
both were anxious 10 work. True, their incentive
was the earning of money
However, il seems TO me that wisely regu-
lated educational system could well include the
suggestion of an incentive for learning something
which would be more attractive to the boy than
that presented by the mere temporary possibility
of earning S35 or $40 week.

n HREE boys and girl lived in Kingsley. This
i is in the southern tier of townships in Grand
Traverse County in the middle of a good farming
district
Kingsley is pleasant little village, with
comfortable homes and no lack of open air and
possibility for wholesome recreation
They were. respectively, girl, 10, and three
boys IT. Is and 49, One Saturday they went out
TO a dance al a tavern few miles east OF Kings
ley, and they drank a few glasses OF beer ana
danced until II 30
that age TO be out and away from home in the
company of three boys of those ages. You would
naturally expect them to go home at that hour
at night. Instead. they drove some II or ID miles
further west TO tavern at Fife Lake.
They arrived there about 12:l5. and stayed
until about lis. They finally decided that. in
the want of anything further exciting to do, they
might as well 60 home.
They were some 20 miles from home. The
boy who was driving was the 19-yearod A mile
or two from Fife Lake, where the road turns and
Joins the main highway, instead OF making turn
he kept straight on, and went through fence.
The car rolled over two or three times, and ne
was killed
Again all four of these young people had
perfectly comfortable homes They had parents
who we're responsible people. They were not lack
ing in opportunity for recreation because they
had been out to a dance where they had stayed
until / / 80 and could have stayed longer. Some
thing within them dictated the need of going
farther and getting more excitement that night,
and this need within them was much stronger
than the wishes of their parents that they come
home and go TO bed at a respectable hour.
Fairgrounds will not meet that need. Par
entail discipline ought to, but il did not in this
case. Questioning of the survivors. all put on the
stand as witnesses in prosecution Of the resort
keeper for selling beer TO minors produced the
impression that their education and mental and
moral training had been gained from the movies
and the radio.
If this training has any very widespread ef-
tlnon no Youth of the nation, a need indl-
Gated for radical toning down Of the radio
drama so-called and the movies which are
patronzed by folks who must see from two to
four of them every week.
These four youngsters were restless and
that restlessness OVERRIDE all Of the inhbtions
that boys and girls used to have when i was
at that age and drove them into a course Of con-
duct that resulted in the death of one Of them.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-THE
w question now is how long
the Nazis can take il on the
Russian front.
Rumblings from within Fin
land and Estonia suggest they
are planning as sensational a
withdrawal al the north end OF
the line as was forced upon
them in the south. The under
ground telegraph has reported
the whole NaZi force OF 10 di-
visions in Finland 150,000 mem
may be withdrawn. leaving that
nation 10 surrender. Prepare
tions for abandonment of Es-
tonia also are evident.
IIitlcr'S generals apparently
intend 10 draw back the north
crn tip Of their line 10 Riga or
Whereabouts. thus shortening IL
by several hundred miles and
making the front defenSible
theoretically at any rate by
much fewer troops.
IN THE center the NaZi army

hind them they cannot find solid
ground for a continuous line with
good communications until they
reach BreSt-Litovsk. nearly 200
miles in the rear.
In the South their semide-
moralization Cif not more) is
already known, n d g d is no
longer concealed from the Ger
man people by Berlin commune
ques. They started Monday pre-
pairing their people for a vast
further retreat and possible
heavy losses by entrapment.
The winter line to which the
Nazis probably are running
would extend roughly from Riga
through BreSt-Litvosk and along
the Dniester to the Black Sea.
CAN they get there without
~ losing much of their army?
Can they hold if they do? The
first question is unanswerable.
Your guess would he as good as
the most authoritative. Mine is
that they cannot make 1t.
4 RETREAT is the most dam
"A gerous military operation.
Napoleon, writing from the
same ground in an ancient win

Germans have done better than
fair so far. BY systems of

one they staged a few days
back at Krivoi Rog is an ex-

Evidence also suggests they
have reserves, and if they get
their armies safely back be-
hind Riga-Dniester line, they
can defend il with possibly half
as many troops as they needed
