Two Quick Thinkers W ere
Too Much for the Cop

Two men in a car sped past a
traffic light when it was red. A
policeman stationed there gave
chase and stopped them.
''Well, where's the fire?" he
bawled out.
"I'm sorry, officer" said the
driver, thinking quickly, "but I
happen to be a doctor and I'm
rushing a patient to the asylum. !"
The policeman was suspicious
but the passenger also was capa-
BILE of quick thinking. Looking up
at the officer with a seraphic
smile, he whispered: kiss me,
you great. big, handsome man."
The cop, fustered, blurted out.
"Get agoing, doc, and I think
you'd better hurry!"

him as his wife, but otherwise he
will take Maureen to his sister, who
has two older children.
Sylvia, at Is, writes me that an
overdose of sleeping pills will be her
way out if Leo insists, and I don't
know what to advise.
Not every girl who is going the
night-club route will find herself in
such a predicament, but hundreds
of them have gotten into different
sorts of trouble, causing their fami-
lies infinite anxiety and distress, and
sometimes getting into the hands of
authorities and finding themselves
trying tearfully to explain in court
just how it all came about. One
case here some years ago was of
returning merrymakers whose in
toxicated young driver sent the car
over a bank. The one girl who sur
vived, in a party of five, sat for three
hours in the dark with her dead
chum in her arms, waiting for dawn
and help to come.
Another case, quoted in this col
umn before, was that of the mother
who was trying to tell bandaged
17-year-old, in hospital, that She
the young daughter, victim of
drunk-driver accident, would always
be blind. Last weeks case was of
the social-register beauty who was
cut about the eyes with a broken
plate in a night club, when she got
between two quarrelsome boys.
They have saved her sight; she will
see. But when she looks in the
mirror, she won't like what she sees.
But even these young tragedies
don't seem to me as sad as the
mental and moral scars that these
reckless youngsters carry all their
lives. Girls who really want to be-
come fine women some day, to be
cultured and admired human be-
ings, are busy in the precious years
between is and Is, coarsening and
destroying everything they hope to
save.
Debauchery Leaves Scars.
No girl, no matter how smart she
is, can touch that sort of pitch and
not be defiled. To lounge in smoke
filed, liquor-scented places, night
after night, laughing vacuously,
dancing and drinking herself into
disorder and indifference, to keep
bad hours, to waste money she does
not earn, to listen to vulgar talk and
indecent jokes-al this is poor prep
aration for a responsible, respect
able life to follow. It must be evil
dent even to the most self-willed girl
that these things leave their mark.
They are not to be picked up for
awhile and then dropped again, per-
hitting her to transform herself
overnight from rowdy into a gen.
tlewoman.
Fine women instantly perceive the
difference. Sylvia may have her fun
now, for few years, but she pays
for it all her life. Over and over
again, considering some entertain
ment, some distinction, some club
honor or social event, the men and
women in charge of arrangements
find themselves faced with the diff
fcult problem Of coarse personalities.

Some SpeciaIties Up,

BY VICTOR EUBANK.
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, May lit was
another fair day for assorted stock
market specialties, but many leaders
continued to operate indifferently in
a cloudy area.
Dealings lacked vim and vigor
from the start. Price variations of
fractions either way ruled near the
close. Transfers for the full pro-
ceedings were around 100000 shares,
with low and medium quoted issues
accounting for most of the volume.
While boardroom sentiment was
more or less cheerful for what bro
kerS refer to as "the long pull -
purchases were deferred in numer-
GUS cases pending a possible tech
nical correction of the lengthy
comeback from the April decline
The likelihood of important wal
news appearing at any time, al
though inspiring little selling, tend
ed to restrain bidders.
Ahead the greater part of the
session were R-K-O common and
