Columbus, O., July 30,—That the “freedem” of young folk today or iginated during the world war to a considerable extent ;s the claim made by Mrs. A. H. Reeves, editor-in-chief of Child Welfare magazine and mem ber of the national board of the Na tional Congress of Mothers and Par ent-Teachers’ association, in an ad dress here. - “Seeds for the freedom about which parents now are complaining were I planted by them when they en couraged girls to go to public dances arranged fdr soldiers and to pick up in their automobiles anyone in uni form,” said Mrs. Reeves. “The big factor in dealing with the high school and college prob lem is to remember we ourselves sowed the cares," continued Mrs. Reeves. “We must he more patient with the rising generation than we are and set higher standards. We not feel our children have gone r to the ‘deminhion bow-wows.' just Be cause they are full of life and spirits. "When We parents think the schools nre to lie held responsible for the education of our boys and girls we are unjust. The great trouble with our children is cheir lack of concentrated interest in any thing. Many times they learn more jn the 'school of the street* liven in either Bchool or home. Public "pin ion is the biggest force/outside our own training that can influence our children. We must work in all ways that our sons and daughters shall not be 'spoiled darlings’ but good citizens.” Priest Attacks Test" Reformers Local Pastor Brands Profes sional Workers as Hypocrites and Modern Pharisees. Professional reformers are the publicans and the Pharisees of mod ern life, Father Sinne. pastor of St. Mary Magdalenes church, told his congregation Sunday. He called them "pests" and de clared them guilty of one of the un forgivable sins, hypocrisy. "Just as the Pharisees were the j^^^%4gyiindrnnce to the work of Christ In Hi? public life, so today the modern Pharisees, better known as reformers, are the chief stumbling block to the work of Christ,” Father Sinne said. "The reforomcr of today Is a busy body and a hypocrite,” he continued. "He pretends, just as the Pharisee of old, to be Just a man. He gives to the support of the church, he tells you he doesn't smoke tobacco, he doesn't drink, he doesn't play cards, he doesn't dance, and he thanks God he Is not like other men. “Yet what has he done? The only Christian reform Is the individual re form. Reform, like charity, begins at home." F'athcr Sinne declared that Christ cannot forgive a hypocrite because the hypocrite has no humility, and hu mility Is an essential Integer of con trition. To He, Not Have, Road to Wealth. Says Pastor Cfolumbctf. O., July 3®.—"Every great movement for the world's bet terment has risen from a great per sonality," asserted Rev. Danel F’. Rlt tenhouse. local Baptist clergyman, addressing an audience of over 200 Columbus boys on the subject of "True Greatness.” "Riches of life rests In being some thing, Instead of having something," s.'ifg Rev. Dr. Rittenhouse. "The - power which each man exerts In his ^^aflmunity depends upon his lndlvl fcfiitial efforts." 4 Burgess Bedtime Stories i By THORNTON W. HI RGESS. Who always does his very best Alone is fit to meet life's test —Old Mother Nature. Danny Has a flow ('ail. There is such a thing as being too safe. Yes. sir, there is such a thing as being too safe. It is a good thing to have to watch out for danger at least once ili a while. Those who don’t have to are apt to forget that there is such a thing as danger. This is the way it was with Danny Meadow Mouse. Since he and* Nanny had made their home in the old scare crow in Farmer Brown’s cornfield they hadn't been in danger once. Of course none of their enemies ever thought to look for them In such a place as that old scarecrow. So day after day, and night after night, they played about and went and came as they pleased. At first Danny had kept a sharp watch for possible dan ger as he had been obliged to do ail his life. But as the days went by he thought of danger less and less often, and finally not at all. Early one morning he ran over to the Green Meadows which began just beyond the fence that bounded Farm, er Brown's cornfield. Danny had gone to get his breakfast. He was busily eating a blade of grass when happen ing to look behind him he saw the grass moving as if someone were creeping through it very softly. It was just pure good luck that Danny had looked back when he did. Through the grass stems he saw something black. It was Black Pussy the Cat from Farmer Brown's house! Danny dropped his piece of grass and started to run. Black Pussy's ears must have caught the faint sound of Danny's footsteps, for in stantly she sprang. She all but land ed on Danny’s short tail. Danny squeaked with fright, and my, my, my, how he did run! It didn't seem as If those short legs of his could move so fast. Now it is probable that if the grass had been short I would have no more stories to write nbout Danny Meadow Mouse. But the grass was tall, and Black Pussy couldn’t see Danny. Shs had to be guided by her ears and by movements of the grass as Danny ran through It. Several times she all but pounced upon him. It was a long time since Danny had been in such danger. At first Danny was too frightened to think. He was too frightened to do "I’ve got to get there. I’ve got to gel there,” he kept saying over and over to himself as he ran. anything but run. But he knew he must get to a safe hiding place soon. Then into ills head popped the mem ory of that old tin can at the foot of a fence pest on the edge of Farmer} Brown's cornfit Id. If he could reach that he would he safe. ''I’ve got to get there! I've got to get there!” he kept saying over and over to himself as he ran. And—it seemed somehow as if just saying that over and over helped him to run faster. He did get there, but only just In the very nick of time, just as he whisked in through the little round hole in the end of that old can Bluck Pussy made a last swift spring, and Danny actually felt one of her claws. He squeaked with fright and pain, and then he was inside. He was safe for the present. But It had been a close call. Yes, sir, it had been a very close call. Had he had to run any further Black Pussy cer tainly would have caught him. (Copyright, ml.) Men Told How to Be Beautiful President of Cosmeticians Says “Leave Liquor Alone"— Women to Quit Rouging. By International Nrwn Service. Chicago. July 30.—No more than the convention of the American So ciety of Cosmesticians got under way today, a large sized discussion began on what to do to give our men a clear skin, rosy cheeks and bright eyes. "Any man,” said Dr. Nell Cooper of Baton Houge, La., the president, taking in with a wave of her hand, choristers, truck drivers, brokers, motermen and such, "can beautify himself easily.” "Oh, doctor,” shrieked her inter viewers aghast, "what makes you think men are interested in it?” The doctor, quite nice looking her self, rolled her eyes up, down and across several times. "My dearest own," she sighed, "aren’t the half of my clients men?" "Are they?” "They jire. And you'd be surprised. Once they get to coming to a beauty shop they wouldn't go bark to barber shops for the first. Usually their wives—or someone—bring them. But they get used ot it. Dear, dear, yes, they get used to it.” "Well, now, doctor, if t should wish to become beautiful, what would I have to do?” “Complete abstinence from alcohol is necessary, coupled with exercise whereby the foods are complete oxi dized, with external cleanliness and applicationvof constructive cosmet ics.” The doctor said letting a barber make mud pies on one's face with beauty clay was terribly wrong. Dr. Contpor said clay was good only for oily skins. Asked what sort of makeup would succeed the recently popular leaden and rust complexion with brilliantly carmined lips, Dr. Cooper said there would be none at all. "That was Just a fad,” she ex plained. John II. Regan Dies. New York, July 30.—John H. Regan of Tacoma, Wash., died today of heart disease at the Hotel McAl pine, where he had been stopping for a week. At the hotel it was said ho was an official of the American Wood Pipe company.
