Morals Best Taste of Best People
Throuoh Thousands of Generations

learned by these failures we have
built up the code Of conduct that
we have today. They do not
understand that what we call
morals is just the best taste OF the
best people through thousands OF
generations.
They think they have discovered
sex because it is new to them, but
Adam and Eve knew all there was
to know about that and there
hasn't been a new temptation de-
vised since the serpent triangle in
the Garden of Eden.
Nothing has never been found
to take the place Of the old
fashioned code of conduct. The
eternal verities will still stand.
Evening star., 1949-12-06

DEAR MISS DIX: Is there any
way to impress upon young people
the fact that moral laws are the
regulations formed by generations
of experience to enable society to
function and permit us to get
along with other people with as
little friction as possible? That
right is common sense, that wrong
is stupid and stupidity is the
greatest sin? Surround these laws
with any brand Of religion, say
them in any language and they
still hold good. They are as old
as the universe and you can't get
away with breaking them.
Marriage supplies the solution to
all the most serious problems in
the relationship between the sexes.
It guarantees the man the right to
the sole enjoyment of his wife's
affections. It gives the woman a
man to stand between her and
the world, and a home in which
to rear her family. No arrange
ment between men and women
can take the place Of marriage.
and those who make a failure OF 1t
would fail in any other arrange
ment. What a pity the young will
not accept these age-old truths.
H. G. H.
Answer: It is indeed, for they
would save themselves much OF
the suffering they are destined to
60 through while proving for
themselves that the great funda-
mental facts Of life do not change.
They are like the immovable
mountains. They are for all time.
I get thousands Of letters from
boys and girls telling me that the
old moralities are dead and that
the younger generation refuse to
be bound by them. And you can
not make them believe that all OF
these theories have been tried out
q thousand times and have failed,
and that through the wisdom
