Basically, happiness is the feel
ing of security in yourself and
in your surroundings. Because
people do not feel that kind of
security, they are threshing about
for some kind of short cut to it.
Unfortunately, these short cuts
lead to the bar, to cheap, ready
made recreation, to casual per-
sonal relations - or to crime.
OUR greatest need today is to
assert a new code of manners
and morals based on the reali-
ties of modern times. That does
not mean going back to Queen
Victoria but it does mean
moving forward to new and bet
ter ways of living
We're not going to find the
solution by uttering pious gen.
eralities or by ignoring disagree
able facts. We are not going to
find it by hiding our heads in the
sands of hypocrisy.
We can begin to find it by ex-
aiming frankly the codes we
live by to see what honest mean
ing they have for us.
Mr.. HoovER's article on these
pages is one effort to gain some
perspective on a present-day
problem involving our standards
and beliefs.
From time to time in forth
coming issues, THIS WEEK will
present other such articles -
not to decide for you what your
moral codes should be, but to
stimulate your thoughts on the
ever-present problems of living
in a modern world.

harvest of delinquency was reaped from seeds

in life. Only tragedy can result when par
ents are jolted out of their lethargy too late.
Fourteen-year old Jimmy drank little
beer, smoked and ran around with girls. One
terrible day he beat neighbor to death with
a shotgun barrel and took the mans car. He
drove it around until evening when, filed with
remorse, he confessed the deed to his father.
Jimmy's home was comfortable; his father
provided good living. The mother was very
devout, but neither the father nor the chill
dren went to church. The element of disci-
pine was lacking. Jimmy was permitted to
quit school because he didn't like the teacher.
He had access to his fathers car and fire.

to gambling houses, saloons, and even to

she were ashamed to invite

protagonists in state of mental turmoil but
also contributes to the emotional instability
of their children. The rebellious attitude of
many delinquents may be traced to their
home background If parents must quarrel
violently, their differences should be settled
outside the presence of their children.
The case of Bill is certainly one in point.
Fourteen years old, a natural leader with
above-average intelligence, Bill came to the
attention of authorities after series of burg
laries and robberies His mother blamed his
youthful associates; his father condemned
city officials for permitting cheap dance halls,
pool rooms and low dives to cater to boys.
The father worked from IL to Is hours
a day to provide for the family. The
mother continually nagged him and ac-
cused him of unfaithfulness. He in turn
began drinking and became more interested
in his bar friends than in his family. The
mother completely lost control over Bill dur
ing the illness of another child. The result:
Another career in crime was begun.
~ Bad Examples:
Lack of responsibility enters the picture
more often than lack of money. A teen-age
girl from wealthy home and with an exclu-
sive boarding school background, confessed
to burglarizing eight apartments in the fash

not associate with her classmates, whom she
feared to invite to visit her home because of

spectacular in the seven-year-long
series were the 1915 eruptions, which
were accompanied by extensive
flows of hot lava. These created
the devastated area" which still
ranks as one of the parks points
of principal interest to tourists.

park.
AT CRATER LAKE National park,
in southern Oregon. on the crest of
the Cascade range. is presented the
spectacle of lake of deepest blue
in the crater of Mount Mazama. an
extinct volcano. Many biologists
have concluded that the basin occu-
pied by the lake, which has neither
inlet or outlet, resulted from col
lapse of the volcanic cone of the an
cient peak.
The lake is supplied with water by
rainfall and snowfall as well as by
snow which is blown into it from
the rim. Collapse of the mountains

volcanic activity; Wizard island, a
symmetrical cinder cone, was
| formed later and rises $50 feet above
surface of the lake. Covering an
area of 20 square miles, Crater lake
| is miles across; it has shore line
| of 20 miles and the multi colored
cliffs of the crater's rim rise 500 to
1000 feet above it. The park con-
tains 10000 acres.

of the western United States is
Mount Rainier, II, 408 feet in eleva-
| ton, which is the central and domi-
nant feature of Mount Rainier Ma

eral hot springs are found nearby at
picturesquely named Ohanapecosh
hot springs.
From the lofty central cone
radiates the greatest single-peak
glacier system in the United
States, with 26 active rivers of
ice. On of these, the Emmons,
which starts from the summit of
ice and snow fields, is 51s miles
in length, the longest glacier
in the United States. Most of
them extend far below the tim
berline.
John Muir, who perhaps did as
much as any one person to further
the spread of the national park idea,
considered the wildfower fields of
Mount Rainier the finest he had ever
seen in all his Wanderings through
out the mountains of the West. The
most extensive and colorful dis

rivers of ice and above the dense

The two babies died Of skull frac-

The victims were Diane j.

BACHELOR WINS
ON SWEEPSTAKES
$500, 900 May Get Woman
Or Good Horse For
New Yorker

NEW YORK. June 7-W.H-Rob-
ert Mckenzie, 46, a bachelor, won
500, 900 in the Irish sweepstakes
today. It left him in a terrible
quandary.
4 can't make up my mind
whether I'll spend this money on a
good wife or another good horse,'
he said.
Mckenzie said he had been TAX
ing chances all his life-"an but
the one chance of getting mar
ried."
The Scottish carpenter, a native
of Canada, held a $100, 900 ticket
on Pearl Diver, the winner. When
he heard the news, he headed for
Devlin's, his favorite bar and grill.
81 need a smile,' he told the
bartender. Smile is McKenzie's
term for Scotch and soda.
Mckenzie had hardly finished
drinking his first smile before
the bar was jammed with people.
They were all drinking smiles on
Mckenzie. The winner slipped his
Scotch slowly.
Hmm" he said. "Ttastes just
the same as when I was a poor
man. But winning this ticket is 60
ing to take 10 years off my life"
Somebody asked him if he was
going to keep on being a carpen-
.er. Mckenzie grinned.
Going to get off the .saWdust
trail, he said.
Mckenzie said his ticket, listed
under the name of "Goodbye,'
didn't cost him a cent. He didn't
elaborate.
Five New Workers held winning
tickets, and three of them, like
Mckenzie, held 500, 900 tickets.
The other two New York first
prize winners were identified only
as Charles Moore" and 20. K.
