A Woman's Viewpoint .by MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

NEWS men from all over the country have swooped down on Tulsa, Okla., where murder among the adolescents has turned adult complacency into panic. For the moment we may skip the moral lectures—they've been overdone as it Is—to consider the astonishing fact that all these schoolboys had guns or access to them. One of the striking evidences of our scientific progress is the ease with which we are able to dispense death. The old-fashioned shotgun or its modem counterpart is too large for any one to carry around without the world knowing he is armpd. It is impossible to use it unless we advertise our Intention to shoot. Whpn we want to bump each other off we take to* less admirable weapon, the automatic pistol, or rifle, precursor of the bandits’ hideout machine gun. In my opinion the small rifle Is PURDUE FRATERNITIES ENTERTAIN CHILDREN 32 Organizations Hosts at Seven of Yule Parties. By Tim'ii Pprrial LAFAYETTE. Ind., Dec. 24. Playing Santa to more than 400 Lafayette and West Lafayette boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 11, 32 Purdue University fraternities were hosts at a series of Christmas parties during the past week at w’hich each of the children was presented with a gift and a good hot meal. It was a question in the minds of the committee arranging the parties whether the children had more fun than the college boys.

a furtive, cowardly, truly ignoble instrument, fit only for the fool and the villain, when we have excepted rffleers of the law. Certainly it can't be an asset to any home. By Its very nature it invites dangerous experiments. It is too easy to carry and conceal, too ready for the quick-tempered. But—so run the exhortations—if we disarm the decent people we leave the bad one with all the advantage. I am unconvinced, for how can we disarm the criminals unless we set a precedent by disarming ourselves? And must the law necessarily be helpless against the bootlegging of armaments? If we are to fall back on such poor excuses we may as well abandon all efforts at any kind of enforcement, and surrender to the enemy.

The Queen's chariot stopped at the point she had selected for the “grand hunt” in which Tarzan was to be the quarry. Nemone commanded all the warriors to leave except the two who held the ape-man's chains. “Send them away, too,” Tarzan suggested. “I shall not harm you, nor try to escape.”

The Queen looked curiously at him as he continued: “You should be happy, Nemone. You shall see me die —that is, if the lion catches me —and you like to see people die.” Nemone replied hesitatingly: “I never get the pleasure from death that 1 anticipate. Nothing is ever what I hope for.”

“You might try hoping for something that would bring pleasure to others,” said Tarzan. Nemone replied, “I strive for my own happiness—” “ —and never get it,” the ape-man interrupted good-naturedly. The Queen's eyes blazed fiercely. “I do not care for irony aimed at myself,” she said.

Angry words poured from her lips. “If you had tried to conciliate me, I might have spared you: but you affront me, you insult me. Men have died for less.” “If my death will give you pleasure, I should be the last to suggest that you abandon the idea,” Tarzan laughed—and his laugh was a challenge to death!
