SEND A KID TO CAMP
Grace Wants to Swim,
Sleep Beneath Stors

When Grace's parents go on
a spree, the children fend for
themselves.
Periodically, both parents get
drunk and disappear for days
at a time.
The last time. Mr.. Jones went
to the store and Mrs. Jones fol-
lowed to see what had become
of him. Neither has been heard
from since.
1t is nothing new for the
Jones home to be without
enough to eat. or enough money
to buy food. An older sister does
the best she can during her
parents absence, but the chill
dren are rarely clean and play
in the street all day. Their big,
ramshackle house is a wreck.
Grace is 10 now. She has
never been to camp. but she
knows what she wants to get
out Of it. She is sure she will
learn to swim, and she can't
wait to 60 camping under the
stars.

He spoke of the last days of
the Shubert. just before the
fire.
On January 20. two hours
after the crowd had gone home
from a performance of Listen

out behind the old stage. 1t
flashed through the wings,
scenery. drops and catwalks.
That was the beginning Of the
end.
Rebuilding Too Costly
THE fire put the crimp' in
it," Mr.. Ferber said. I'VE could
have struggled along"
The Shubert never reopened.
Yesterday the stockholders of
the Washington Theatre Co.,
meeting in New York, decided
to sell the building. The cost
of rebuilding, 1t was said, would
be "prohihitive."
The block-the 500 block of
Ninth street N.W.-will never
be quite the same. There is
little chance of another island
of culture or high art pushing
up in the middle Of all the
neon.
Which is probably perfectly
all right with the people on
the block who have seen and
taken the change.

This whole situation could
have had a far happier out

made promises in the first
place, but he compounded the
error by not owning up his
embarrassing problem. That
would have given Henry the
chance to be generous and
forgiving and would have
established a bond of man-to-

In short, these parents have
treated Henry like a baby and
he has reacted like a baby.

1t is far more connected with
problems of understanding
and trust between parents
and child. It's roots go far
deeper than this immediate
problem.
Henry obviously feels be-
trayed and let down by his
parents, his father particu-
larry. A mature young man,
however, would not have such
a reaction to this occurrence.
He would sympathize with
his fathers problems and ac-
cept the situation.
The fathers behavior and
Henry's reaction suggests
that there is a history of
brides and broken promises.
1t was not necessary for these
parents to announce in ad-
vance what they planned to
do for Henry upon his mar
rage. The mere fact that
they specified they would
give a certain amount indi-
Gates that they had q habit
of dangling certain awards in
front of him and prided
themselves a bit too much on
all they wanted to do" for
their son.
Because this father blus-
tered about the marriage re-
ward he planned to give his
son. he then felt hurt in his
own pride when he couldn't
come through. This was the
reason for his secrecy. IN
doubtedly he wanted to make

as a wedding present, but
shortly before his marriage
my husband had some bust
ness troubles and used the
money to pay of debts. We
told Henry we would give him
that money as soon as pos
sible. but we haven't been
able to do 1t yet.
When Henry made some
hints about it. my husband
became very angry and said
that If he took that attitude
he wasn't going to give him
the money at all. Henry be-
came furious and said he
wanted nothing further to do
with us. We feel that his
wife has put a devil into him.
Henry Rim the first
place, my father should have
told me why he had taken
this money and what he was
going to use 1t for. Part of 1t
had been given to him in
trust for me by my grand
parents and he had no right
to use that few hundred dol
lars.
Then. instead of telling me
about these troubles Of his.
he went boasting to my in
laws about all he was going
to do for me. They are poor
people, but they didn't want
him to Guido them and they
gave US more than they
should have.
All OF this put me In a very
embarrassing position with
my wife and my in-laws. My
wife was quite upset because
we spent more money than
we should have to furnish
our home, so I tried TO find
out whether or not We had
any chance of getting that
money. That's when my faith

years Of age and over 6 feet
tall.
He plays on a baseball team
which he loves and we have
encouraged him to continue.
We have also bought him
other sporting equipment that
he wanted. Although he was
an excellent swimmer when
younger he never puts his feet
in the water now. OF course,
this is not our real problem.
He accepts no responsibility
Of any kind, In school or at
home, and will not even look
for a part-time job during the
summer months. Although his
teachers have told me he has
the ability to learn If he
would only apply himself. he
brings no books home from
school or from the library.
His marks get lower each year
and last year he failed in two
subjects. He refused to go
to summer school. saying he
wanted to look for a job
which he did not do.
He seems to live within
himself and takes no pride
in his appearance. We must
nag at him time and time
again to shine his shoes or
get a haircut. He sleeps fully
clothed. except for shoes, the
year round. He associates with
no one, either girls or boys.
except the boys he plays ball
with.
The rest of the time he
just lies in bed looking at
television or listening to the
radio screeching away for
hours on end. When the
grass needs cutting his father
or l0-year-old brother must
do it. We took a two-week
trip to New York this sum-
mer but he refused to come
with us and seemed to enjoy

Special writers For The star
When you get around to
making your will, you can be
Just about as arbitrary, con-
trary and "ornery" as you
like. It is your property and
you can do what you please
with 1t.
That is - you can so long
as you are not a little of"
or otherwise incompetent at
the time. so long as you have
not been unduly influenced
by some greedy party in quest
Of your dough. and so long
as you do not ignore those for
whom you have legal respon-
sibility such as a wife or
minor children.
The probate court will see
that the terms of your will
are carried out so far as feas-
ible.
People do some pretty
funny things in their wills,
too. Sometimes it seems
that the way they leave their
money, or the conditions they
impose on heirs, has been
carefully calculated as a
final expression of their
earthly personality - maybe
to give vent to deep-seated
emotions carefully concealed
during lifetime.
Baby provided For"
Take George Henry Starck,
for instance. He was q
South African shipping
magnate who died a few
months back and left an
estate Of more than "a mil
lion.
Mr.. Starck left his pretty
27-year-old daughter, Mrs.
Leslie Couch. a reasonable
share of this money. but he
also added a handsome $685.
900 bonus on proviso. Mrs.
Couch was to have the extra
$4,000 only If she had a
baby within a year after Mr..
Starck's death.
The point here is that Mr..
Starck could arrange his will
any way he wanted. If the
conditions imposed in the
will are not met, then the
alternative provisions-what-
ever they are--will then be
brought into play.
Another Example
Another recent example
