Probably there is no other phase
in the world that parents so dread
to hear as "all the other kids are
doing it." For that is the ultimatum
that silences all discussions and
puts an end to discipline, and that
leaves the poor unfortunate fathers
and mothers helpless to make their
youngsters do what they should do
and keep them from doing the
things they should not do.
The law of the majority rules in
the juvenile world, and no one
father and mother can segregate
their Johnny and Mary from the
herd and make them follow a
different code of behavior from that
of their gang. They are Just bound
to wear the same kind of sweaters,
60 to the same places, do the same
things. II Johnny goes with his
shirt tail out, 50 do the other boys.
II Mary wears filthy shoes, all the
other girls in her class consider it
a disgrace to have clean ones. And
against this wall of rubber stamps
parents beat themselves up in vain.
Father may be man world IA
nous for his intellect and nations
may be guided by his opinions. but
he can't keep Junior from smoking
If 1t is the fad for ali the other little
pipsqueaks to be cigarette fiends.
Mother may be social leader and
renowned for her taste, but she
can't prevent her bobhy-s -sox daugh-
ter from smearing her mouth with
lipstick and painting her face up
like q barn door.
And so many millions of fathers
and mothers wiring their hands in
anguish when they see their chill
dren headed for the pits In which
they are bound to stumble, but they
feel they can do nothing about 1t
because to all OF their tears and
pleadings and argument their
youngsters return the invariable an
swer: "All kids are doing 1t" as II
that justifies their mass folly.
And, curiously enough, otherwise
intelligent parents seem to have
overlooked the fact that the young
sters have themselves furnished the
cue to the solution of the problem OF
how to get our children back into
bounds, instead of letting them run
wild. It is the cooperation OF the
parents. It is for parents to get to-
sether and organize themselves into

Pitchers Picturesque
By BETTY Miles

Latimer,s oldest pitchers are de-
signed to allow liquid to flow
through a hole in the bottom of the
handle, up the handle and out any
one OF several holes around the top
Iof the pitcher.
Georgetown's Opportunity Shop
and other Georgetown shops have
yielded pitchers of all vintages and
shapes, some at fantastically low
prices. Some have also come from
the Good Will Industries. Red
Wedgewood, Haviland and Limoges
china are included in the collection.
Mrs. Latimer found one of her
pitchers in the slums Of Cincinnati.
Another came from the Chicago
World Fair. Niagara Falls, Bunker
Hill, Winnepeg, Canada and points
east and west are also represented,
One of her recent acquisitions still
causes Mrs. Latimer to marvel.
Made in Paris, the pitcher was sent
by mail from Turkey by friend in

1t was inevitable that Candidate
Harold Stassen would be forced
to touch on the South's alwdy 5
delicate race question on his quest
for delegates IN his trip down
through Dixie. His most signific-
ant statement touching this sub
ject was reported to have been
made at Orlando, Fla.
| Mr.. Stassen said in urging tn
development of Republican party
in the South:
"You have a right in Florida
and i'm each of the southern states
to develop strong Republican
party with is own views of the
/ manner in which state and nation
| al affairs should be conducted.
"You need not echo the posi-
ton of Republican parties Of
states of the North. AS you will
find, there are great differences
in positions between the Republic
can parties in some states of the
West and Republican parties in
some states of the East"
Thus you have Mr.. Stassen's
philosophy on the political party
situation in the South. The only
great difference in beliefs between
the political parties of the south
ern states and the rest of the
country has always been that con-
corning the Negro. Mr.. Stassen
very subtly invited the South into
the Republican party on its own
| terms Those terms have always
been that the South be allowed
to do as it pleases with the citi-
zenship rights of its millions OF
Negro citizens.
When Mr.. Stassen very cleverly
says. you need not echo the
position of the Republican parties
of the states of the North" he
is actually saying, "You need not
support FEPc, anti-Iynching or
anti-poII tax legislation even if
the Republican party in the North
does give lip service to such mea-
sures."
In Gulfport. Miss, Mr.. Stassen
came out boldly against the lilly
whites" of that state by stating
g" would not accept the support
of any delegation on the basis Of
race, color or religion, and the
reorganization of the party lin
Mississippi must be in accord
ance with the constitution of the
United States"
