DESIRE FOR TRUTH SEEN
Tendency of Older Generation to
Become Shocked at All Actions
of youth Held Pres.
cnt Drawback
'By Tho Associated Presa)
PORTLAND, Ore.. Dec. 30.
Confldenco'in youth of today was
voiced hy Dr. Harold Bowman,
pastor of tho First Presbyterian
church of Portland, In an address
on plastic youth" delivered today
before the meeting of the deans

Tho meeting of the deans of

sions held by various departments

Understanding Held Need
"The chief difficulty in dealing
with the problem of youth is the
shockability of the older genera
tion," declared Dr. Bowman. "If
we can overcome this tendency on
the part of parents to become
shocked at everything their sons
and daughters are doing and catch
an understanding glimpse of the
worth while things they are ac
complishing we shall be In a fair
way to solve any problem that may
exist."
Young people today are facing
life with a frankness and a genuine
desire for truth that exceeds any
former generation, ho said.
Dr., Ellwood P. Cubberly, dean
of tho school of education at Stan
ford university lauded the results
obtained by American schools in
comparison with those of conti
nental Europe. Stressing individual
development instead of group ac
tion has greatly enhanced the Belf
reliahce of the American, he said.'

Denial of reports that Mount
McKlnloy, about 160 miles north of

Henry P. Karstens, superintendent
of McKihley National Pai'k, in a
statement here tonight, . 1
"I have made a trip of Investiga
tion and find no evidence of a
disturbance of any description," he
declared. "I found no smoke or
steam, and see no possibility of an
eruption. The mountain is solid
rock and ice. Black clouds are a
common occurrence in that vicin- .
ity and are of no special . sig
nificance. The weather in the park
is calm and cold. There Is no in
dication of any Impending storms
locally."-
Karstens was with Archdeacon
Hudson Stuck in the first success

of Mount McKinley In 1913.

DAMASCUS, Syiria, Dec. 30.
Hassan EL Kharrat, a former night
watchman in Damascus, who was
considered the leader of the Druse
Incursion which led to the French
bombardment of Damascus of Oc
tober 18 to 20, has been killed in
fighting outside tho city.
Kharrat, who styled himself
"pasha" has played a romantic
and at times a comic role in the
Syrian revolt. His Intimate knowl
edge ot stroots and alloys made him
a useful leodor In the revolutionary
rnids. He never interfered with
Christian population and once he
sent a sarcastic noto to General
Sarrail, tho former French high
commissioner, twitting him with
responsibility for the sufferings of
tho Christians of Damascus.
