AMERICAN YOUTH FORTUNATE

American boys and girls - in the United
States particularly-have a social growth and
development more wholesome than that offer
ed the youth of any other nation. They have
opportunities for clean development in whole
some environment that is not possible any
where else in the world
The normal life of the High Schoolers in
our country, with the large metropolitan cities
offering some unfortunate exceptions, includes
school affairs, sports, dances, dates the drug
store, the MOVIES football trips, house parties,
and other group activities in general While
all may not be just as it should be and some
mistakes are made, the average conduct of our
young people is amazing ly good compared with
those OF European countries.
Of course, the Europeans have had wars and
they have lived under adverse circumstances
in the past few years, but the European way
is different in peace time. It is inferior.
1t is far more involved than the average Amer
lean boy or girls life becomes at the age of
sixteen.
In the first place, the Europeans have no
counterpart to the drug stores of the Amer
leans. Young boys and girls must go to a
neighborhood pub for their drinks and there
is no cola or crush to order It's usually
mild or bitter.
Until the young Englishman becomes old
enough to take his mild beer, he has practical
ly nowhere to go. He doesn't have chance
to get milk shake, soda, cone or hot dog
Only in London are the English just beginning
to catch up.
France and Italy are as bad Spain and the
other Latin nations also drag behind in pro-
viding their youth with the MODERN wholesome
environment offered in the United States.
Of course, there is much room for improve
ment in some things here but, as far as the
rest of the world is concerned Americans are
far ahead in giving American youth the chance
to begin life with education to fit them for
life in this complex world

PREWAR SERVICE IN STORES

The National Retail Dry Goods association
recently observed that retail trade has job
to do in the field of reconversion. That job
ble prewar standards of service - standards
which could not be maintained with the labor
and material shortages caused by war
First of all, the Association suggests, stores
should get rid of arrogant, bad-mannered per-
sonnel who had to be kept on the payroll in
able. In other words, stress common courtesy
Next departments should be adequately
stated in order to eliminate that old war
custom Of standing in line. This will take
time in localities where labor is still short but
the customer will expect it.
Stores should also, in the opinion of the
Association, eye merchandise carefully with a
view to eliminating the shoddy. During the
war years, merchants were helpless and were
forced to sell whatever they could buy. Con-
ditions are gradually improving, and efficient
buyers obtain more reliable goods
It's safe bet that most retailers, chain

problems these for some time. The typical

JUVENILE DELINQUENCY DROPS

The International Association Of Chiefs of
Police, meeting in Mexico City, have been ad-
vised that juvenile delinquency figures for the
first six months of 1916 "a distinct leveling
off" and that arrest of boys under eighteen
decreased 1914 per cent as compared with the
first half of 1916.
These figures given for what they are
worth and should have some interest in view
of repeated assertions that the young people
of the United States have gone on criminal
parade. The fact is, however, regardless of
comparative figures, too many crimes are COM
mitted by young people and too many COM
munities make little effort to assist young peo-

TALL TALES
BY Elizabeth Whitten

We usually think of any tall tale
as humorous incident, and yet,
sometimes there are those that
strike a pathetic note.
Recently someone told me Of
visiting poverty-stricken home
where a little girl was standing in
the doorway holding a coat in her
arms as the visitor approached.
She was slowly moving her arms
back and forth, yet the coat was
empty.
"Why are you holding the coat?"
the visitor asked.
"Why this is my DOLL" the child
answered smiling.
Christmas came a few weeks
later and Santa did bring doll
to the little girl.
Right, now with many jobs avail
able it will be easy to believe that
it is possible for every child to
have a happy Christmas. The idea,
however, is not entirely correct for
there are instances where a father
has deserted a family, where some
one who is the sole support of a
family is i'll and luxuries cannot
be bought this Christmas
I mention the story now because
later in the season funds some
times have a way of slipping away
rapidly and a carefully, planned
budget may help to bring Christmas
presents into homes which might
otherwise be forgotten.
