Do it now! (For advice, write to Maxie Miller, care of Literary Service Bureauj 516 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas. For personal reply send self, addressed, samped envelope.) Maxie Miller: My problem per. plexes me. My son fourteen years old has slept with me all his life. His father says it is wrong and I ought to make him sleep by himself. When I make this boy get out of my bed he cries and I have to let him come back. I discern signs of sex awakening in this boy. and now I don’t know what to do.—Mrs X Mrs X: You are doing a danger, ous thing. It is a thing abnormal for a boy to be that way. Do you want this boy to be effeminate, a little namby.tamby thing? It may be too late now, to save him, but you’d better try it—at once. Talk to this boy Tell him you want him to be a big strong, brave man. If this will not turn the trick, positively put him out. You see a mother is a woman, and in these cases there is danger of sex perversion that will work permanent injury. Better not trifle longer with this situation.— Maxie Miller. THE CINDERELLA METAL To a people which has always rej garded “money” as being synonomous | with “gold,” it may come as some, i thing of a surprise to know that silver j comes closer to being an internation, al medium of exchange than does the rareT metal. All the oriental nations are silver, standard nations—and they represent half the world’s population. So are a number of South American and Eu_ ropean countries. Prance alone, of the great powers, holds to the gold stand, i ard at the moment. That is why world economists, pub. lie and private, are talking so much about silver. And that is why a mount ing number of authorities believe its stabilization to be a essential of re_ covery. Young Folks* Town Talk... “Happy Days are here again” cause Sarah Brown is back in town. And can she play though? Why I heard one of our most accomplished say, “I’d fold up my tent if I could play as well as she”. We take off out i hats to you Sarah. Skippy Adams is “Covering the Water.Front” again. Every evening: he goes his merry way up Miami St. Almost to 30th. Why do so many things happen on Miami? Who is this young man that is the subject of every fashionable young1 lady’s conversation. I beg your par. don, I didn’t quite get the name. Oh, you said “Cuddles” and you say he is registered at “Grand Hotel?” We’re quite glad to know you “Cuddles.” From the way things sound, the boys who went fro K C had a very nice time if nothing else. Maybe they had to nice a time to play good Ten. nis. Well, what’s a game of Tennis j more or less among boys, especially when they all have a good time. Every since graduation Gertrude ; Me and Warren Pendleton (Pern) I 1 have been seen together constantly. I And Soo aw, I guess you can read be. tween lines. Well anyway, they are | that way about each other. V J and Wendell Willis started ! ended up at an “Open Air Church.” They wouldn’t tell why they went there, j but there are three reasons why they ; might have gone. First to keep from i being bored, second to keep cool, I third I wonder. You know they actually have got : Bert Fowler in between. His head. ache and his heartache breeze into i town at the same time. And live in i the same neighborhood too. And with ! old girl.friend all ready here; Run to his rescure boys cause he needs help. vVhat we really want to know i? j why has Step Skinner taken such a ! liking to Freshman girls. Especially j cute ones like Dorothy Bell. I’ll bet Marge Bolden will walk ev_ i ery where she goes from now on. Or I at least be more careful. We’re sorry : Marge. We hope you get better. — ORGANIZATIONS Centers Mid-City About two hundred attended the' opening of the Mid-City Community | Center kitchen Thursday evening July I 27.
