Squarely Up to the Parents Many cases of juvenile delinquency have been attributed to subnormal mental types. Investigators have asserted that feeblemindness, in a greater or less degree, contributes to the delinquency of boys and girls. Their findings, however, are discounted by a report of the Chicago crime commission, which shows that a survey made of 1,000 delinquent children in Boston revealed that only 50 per cent were of a subnormal type. ' This committee in its search for the cause which bring boys into the courts , came to the conclusion that lack of moral training in the home is one of the causes which drag youth from the path of rectitude into sin and shame. The influences of a demoralizing neighborhood, this committee asserted, can be overcome in the
home. "These influences must be counteracted in the home," it says. "The obligation to discover the formula in each individual case is squarely on the shoulders of the parents, and they cannot evade it." A captious critic may remark that a neighborhood is bad because the families residing in it are of low moral calibre, and it would be foolish to expect these parents to have enough insight or moral backbone to discover the formula for the reformation of their children. But that criticism is beside the point. Many of our parents are not doing the square thing by their children. They shirk a divinely
given responsibility. They believe that the schools and the community are directly responsible for the moral development of their children. They will not admit that the home is the primary source of good morals and spiritual influences, that this is the place where character is formed, bad habits carefully eliminated, and the positive side of the child's make-up developed- Many parents are only too glad if their children do not make the home"-their headquarters but spend most of their spare time on the streets and in the alleys. They are glad that their children are not at home, "so that they need not be bothered with them." And other parents are away from home so much themselves that they have only a superficial knowledge of what their children are doing. Other interests have usurped the concern which they should feel for heir offspring. They -permit business or sociaKluties to take up the hours
which should be devoted to the rearing of their
s6ns and daughters. They develop no home life,
have no domestic instincts, and 'no desire to
nurture that spirit which makes home a haven
and a refuge, and the center of the whole fam
ily's interests. " It is taking the investigators of youthful de
linquency a long time to discover that the rehabilitation of the home will tend to make good
boys and girls. But that is where the beginning should be made. Parents shpuld be aroused to a sense of their duty. Usually a demoralized home, one in which parents have forfeited the respect of their children, or one in which parents have been flagrantly remiss in the rearing of their children, is the primary cause of the " delinquency which has brought the boy or girl into the juvenile court. . . - Wayward boys and girls are to be pitied. Their parents should feel the sting of censure. The boys and girls have not disgraced their parents, but the parents have disgraced their children by parental neglect in failing to train them adequately for life.
LEAVING THINGS BEHIND By George Matthew Adams.
Many a home has been made unhappy by the head of the house taking his business there instead of leaving it behind at his office -where it rightfully belongs. Troubles are as inevitable as the night itself. But we should not rart them around. We should have a special place for our troubles and no one should know where they are kept! Worries should be left-behind. Sorrows should be left behind. Mistakes should be left behind. The freer you are in thought and action, the more power you accumulate as you go your way. 1 believe the- stage to be a great educational force. Its power for pood is limitless. How many times has it wiped the cobwebs from my brain and sent me home to "pleasant dreams!" And its great influence for good lies in the fact that it helps folks to forget. Associate with those who help you and inspire you and bring out the best that is within you. Keep your mind at work with pleasant tasks. Keep filling it with beauty and knowledge. You can do this if you eliminate everything that tries to keep you back, that irritates you or destroys your control. We all carry too much baggage. Life really calls for light equipment for the journey is long and at times quite tedious, but interesting and thrilling if we have left behind our finished tasks. Learn to leave things behind, and you will know the pleasure of growth.

Ripplins Rhymes By WALT MASON
. COLD WEATHER How I hate to journey forth on these bitter morns! For the wind is from the north, and has bells upon its horns; with that wind I have a tiff, and it hands me swat and biff, and I soon am frozen stiff from my whiskers to my corns. In the he-man sort of tales we are always being told there is pep in Arctic gales, there is stimulant in cold; where the blizzards fiercely, skim till they'd rend me limb from limb, you are filled with snap and vim and with vigor manifold. Let the he-men face the storm, in their bold red-blooded way; I feel best when I am warm, when I'm snugly in the hay; I have frozen both my ears, and I found it didn't pay. I have frozen both my feet when I toiled upon the farm, and I say that warmth is sweet, and that cold has ..little charm; let me sit before the fire, with my dachshund and my lyre, while the he-men we admire view such comfort with alarm. Let the heroic souls tread the snowy Arctic waste while the bitter tempest rolls o'er the land
in frantic haste; let them struggle with despair, combing icebfcrgs from their hair; but a padded easy chair is more strictly to my taste.

Value of Gbld'and Silver Production of Gold Falls off Because of High Cost of Production, Says Experts.
By FREDERICK J. HASKI WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 2. Before the war the people of the world thought they had a few definite principles governing human activity on which they could rely because they were so fundamental that not even wars could upset them. Their ideas concerning gold and silver were among the most fixed of these economic principles. Even when currencies and trends of trades and various other economic arrangements were deranged it still was thought that gold and silver, the precious metals, could be relied upon to maintain an immutable position from which the world could take its bearings. The all-devouring war swallowed up even these ideas and we find plans being put forward providing for legislative steps to straighten out the difficulties in which gold and silver find themselves.
Cold is and probably will be for centuries to come the standard of values. Up to the war it had been almost ab
solutely dependable, its fluctuations being so slight as to give no ground for a change of system. Now, however, there i3 a whole party of reformers declaring that gold is not a fair medium of measurement of values. It is not
likely that they will succeed in their
attempt to dethrone gold because,
wnatever its faults as a standard, no

better one has yet been suggested. Yet the fact that the idea of a change is entertained shows that gold has not escaped the troubling vicissitudes of war ad economic upheaval. The most acute trouble now rises from the fact that gold production has fallen off because of the high cost of production. Prices of labor and commodities have risen so high that their relation to gold has become out of joint. The value of gold is fixed by law at $20.67 per ounce. This price does not change because it is of Itself the standard by which all other prices are measured. The price in dollars can cot change, but the price in goods can. Before the war $20.67 in gold would buy a given quantity of food, labor and working materials. Today it will buy only about half as much, yet its own price can not be raised. This has resulted in a heavy falling off in gold production. Miners are discouraged from producing a metal which will only buy them half as much as it would a decade ago. In 1913 gold production in the United States was $101,000,000. In 1921 but $30,000,000 was produced. The miners said they could not afford to dig gold. Bill to Pension Gofd Is Pending A bill is pending In congress Intended to come to the relief of gold In fact to give gold a sort of pension. It would place a tax on the use of gold in the arts and industries. Gold used for jewelry, dentistry and such uses would have to pay a tax of about 10 per cent over and above its own standard value of $20.67 for $20.60 worth. Out of the fund amassed through collection of this tax the government would pay a bounty to the producers of gold. A miner producing $20.67 worth of gold would receive from the government about $22.72 for it. A committee of experts appointed by the treasury and a committee appointed by the American Bankers' association have both advised against such a plan. They declare in the first place that it is unwi.se to tamper in any way with the gold standard of value. The period of high production costs will be temporary, they say, and therefore it will be better to let economic forces take their course and come back to normal in their own good time, unmolested. The principal reason, however, why these experts have not been kindly disposed toward the gold bounty plan is that they point out the United States has bfen getting imports of gold as the results of its favorable trade balance faster than gold ever was or could be produced from the ground and that therefore there is no occasion to worry about production. This is where the case stands now and it does not seem likely that any
gold bounty will be enacted at this session of congrees, but the pending proposal shows how even so stable and solid a thing as gold can be upset by great human conflict. Senator Nicholson of Colorado has

introduced a resolution showing that as much concern is being felt over
silver as over gold. His resolution provides for the appointment of a federal commission which would study the subject of the decline in the use of silver as a material for coinage, not only in this country, but abroad. Praises Old Theory of Bi-metalism This project is of special interest as being calculated to raise anew the old issue of bi-metalism. Bi-metalism is the doctrine of having a double system of money composed of gold and silver. Both are standard, under this system, their proportionate values to each other being fixed by legislation. The proponents of bi-metalism declare that the system has a great advantage in that a double standard, with two measures hooked up together, is more likely to remain stable in the face of such economic ravages as war, than a single standard. The tricks the war has played with gold have tended to strengthen their
position. Bi-metalism was espoused in times past by the Democratic party. William Jennings Bryan, was preaching bi-metalism when he strove for the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Not until 1904 did the democratic party withdraw this from its party platform. The objection has been that such a double standard would cheapen both gold and silver and produce an inferior and unreliable coinage and currency. Practically every nation in the world has abandoned the idea and clung to the gold standard, at least theoretically. Senator Nicholson points out that the use of silver even as subsidiary coinage has "decreased measurably since the war and that the disminished consumption has embarrassed the producers of silver. He points out that not only hasipaper money been largely substituted for silver coinage, but that the silver content of coins has been decreased. Silver, normally, does not have a fixed price, like gold. As an emergency measure, during the war, congress fixed a price of $1 per ounce for silver, but this was intended as a temporary war measure. The pricf of silver in Europe has recently ben around 70 cents. Before the war the price was about DO cents per ounce. There is an ounce of silver in an American silver dollar.
The proposed commission would seek to have the use of silver for coinage increased and also would sek to have the value stabilized. An in 0 ternational conference to bring this f about is proposed. It Is certain that this winter and at coming sesions of congress th question of the value of both gold. and silver will continue to be discussed with the possible result that some leg islative enactment will be made. It is true that paper money has been displacing gold and silver the world over. The sight of gold ajid silver coins is becoming unfamiliar. Tht could not be better illustrated than by the story of the little girl who received a $5 gold piece as a birthday gift. It was the first she had ever seen. The next day she said to her playmates with astonishment: "My mother took that $5 gold piece of mine down town and sold it for real money."
