Th'S i he fourth of a series of six articles written by Mrg. Wallace Reia, wife of the late film star, on the problems confronting young peoples—and tneir p&ients—today. F all the complex changes that affect young people today the automobile has had more to do with this so-called “jazz age” than any other one factor. The automobile makes it possible to cover great distances quickly. This means that in a very few minutes boys and girls may be far removed froift home influence and jurisdiction. Furthermore the very speed at which they travel contributes to the excitement of the occasion.’ Add to this situation the modem styles of dress, makeup, dancing, FALL RESULTS IN DEATH Mr*.

and. I am afraid in some instances pocket flasks and you have a sit- • uation that requires much more judgment and common sense than -was asked of young people a generation ago.’’ f Now, how are we to prepare to meet this newly found freedom? We cannot keep our young people at home all the time. And we cannot always accompany them when they go out. They must be educated to think and decide for themselves—to WANT to x do the right thing. In the first place, the automobile may be regarded as a sort of twoedged sword. It has , its good points as well as its dangerous For an automobile may be used to broaden the young folks’ vision. They are able to get to places and see things and learn about people as it was impossible for chilldren to do in the days before thia rapid means of conveyance. Pay even more attention to th* companions of your sons and daughters at the "flapper” age. You can help to choose these companions without causing resentment, even without the knowledge of the young people. You can accomplish this by entertaining in your home, and encouraging youngsters to come. It is remarkable how soon a home may become a social center In this way, and it will surprise you how popular your own sons and daughters will be. Plan unique parties and clever games. It is easy to do ancj- well worth the time. Popular magazines and the magazine pages of newspapers are full of ideas. In the case of daughters, a girls' club is the easiest way to proper friends. A diplomatic mother can skillfully engineer the forming of such a club and have a lot more to say' who shall belong than any of the girls realize. Thus you establish and keep close contact not only with the young people in youl l home, but with their friends. , This contact enables you to create a wholesome atmosphere in their play, and at the same time to continue the education you should have started some years before—teaching the young folks to think and decide for themselves, as I said before, a*d to DESIRE to do the right thing, and not be driven to do it.

The figure Is based on data of many farm records. The average quantity of manure recovered for use on’*crop lands In the area studied was 7.4 tons per cow, and since the fertilizing value of a ton of manure is $2.60 the byproduct value of each cow is approximately S2O. The application of this figure at the 10,000 dairy cattle in this country Grings the total added value to the soil fertility here to the almost unbelievable figure given above. In keeping with its better feeding program the Institute estimates that from 25 per cent to 50 per cent greater profit from each ton of feed can be made by local farmers who milk cows through improved feeding methods, alone.
