There is increasing discussion and alarm these Jays over the increase ot undisciplined and wayward child ren, especially around the age of 14 to 16 or 17. In every city the cases in court against children are increas ing until children's courts are becom ing as important and conspicuous as the police courts. All over the country the papers are carrying stories of daring hold ups, daring burglaries, desperate daylight bank robberies and the auth orities say that the criminals are mostly young men who were only boys a year or two ago. Mernard I. Fagan, chief probation orticer of the city of New York, has prooably had to deal with more bad Doys and girls than any other man in America. He says that the whole trouble is in the home and he blames mother because she insists on hav ing the whole say about the children and resents dads interference. In fact, Fagan charges that there is a conspiracy in the great American home against father. His deduction is that if father watched the child ren more if mother and father CO OPERATED in the bringing up of the children there would be fewer wayward young men and women in America today. It is a great problem. But we do not join with Fagan in his finding against mother. Of course she is the one who has to take almost exclusive care of the youngsters during the tenderest years, and the thing be comes habit with her. It is for father to diplomatically butt in at the right rime. If he does n't he cannot escape the blame later on. It Makes a Difference The National Civil Service Reform League has issued a statement pro testing against the ruling that the first three names on the elligible list must be submitted o the Postoffice department after examinations have been held to fill vacancies in offices of the first, second and third class. It doesn't take much under a Re publican national administration to set the National Civil Service Re form League going. While a former president of the league was engaged in emptying the postoffices and other public places of Republicans, and "getting rid of" Republicans as rural carriers, city carriers, fourth class postmasters and in other places sup posedly covered by the "merit sys tem," this organization kept a dis creet silence. It was not moved to protest when President Wilson "fir ed" the Civil Service Commission en masse for criticizing some of Post master General Burleson's manipu lations of the "merit system." Pre sumably the organization was deter red by the fact that one of its long time members and leaders was bus ily engaged in handing out more pat ronage than any three of his prede cessors ever had to dispense with less attention to anything but partis anship than any President since An drew Jackson. Now that a Repub lican President is now in power we may expect that the National Civil Service Reform association will be in a constant state of eruption, however far the administration may go in up holding the "merit system " The or ganization is interested primarily in the protection of the interests of a public already suffering almost be yond endurance from the axactions of the professional bureaucracy built up under the federal "closed shop."

We all know what friction does it wears holes in our clothes; it wears away stone; it kills friendships, sep arates families, ruins the best plans of man. Vet here are the two lead ing figures in all the world friction ing away to a fare-thee-well genera tion after generation. You would think intelligent men -oh, yes, any men above the savage mind would realize after a very Jew years, the disgusting foolishness of friction in the thing that affects them most. But not Capital and Labor. Brains and the fruition thereof mean nothing to them. They'd much rather fight like a lot of naked savages on an ant hill in Africa. How long will it be before they use a little Intelligence in making the most of the gifts that God has placed in the world for mankind to grow comfortable and contented and rich on?

Pernaps it won't do any good to say again that the United States of America is sitting on a volcano full of race trouble. But it is a fact. We think few whites have any real hatred of the colored man. On the other hand the colored population i. seething with a feeling of enmity against the white race that is daily becoming more bitter as it is fanned and fanned by propaganda of the worst sort propaganda scattered broadcast by some of the educated and more intelligent of their race. Particularly is this so in the cities where the common topic of conver sation in the negro settlements is revenge against the whites for real or imagined wrongs. There are more than ten millions of colored people in this country. It is only fair to say that the vast ma jority of those millions are law abid ing, decent people in their walks of life. There is, of course, great ig norance among them, and ignorance is not a good condition when smart agitators work upon it. Among ten milions of people any where on earth, there are great num bers of reckless criminals and des perate deeds of negro criminals are increasing just as they are increas ing among the whites. The mass of whites, however, condone no white' criminal's act. But sad to say, there is much condoning of negro crimin als among the ignorant colored. This support has been largely the cause of the terrible race riots in certain American cities. And have you no ticed that each succeeding race riot is worse than the one before it? The race question is the greatest issue in this country today. The white people have been longest out of barbarism; it is up to them to begin something that will result in the solution of the dangerous situa tion now existing in our midst. Prune Root Borers Active Where the prune root borer has not been dug out it should be at once, says A. L. Lovett, O. A. C. Experi ment station entomologist.

Uncle Sam has $83,000,000 of some people's money waiting in the Treasury for them to come and get it, according to the latest official fig ures of outstanding temporary Lib erty bonds. This sum represents the interest due holders of temporary Liberty bonds who have not exchang ed their bonds for permanent coupon bearing securities on which the reg ular interest is paid. The figures show that there are 7,471,171 sep arate temporary bonds of various de nominations, amounting to $1,132, 730,200, still in the hands of them for coupon bonds. Against these figures on the Treasurer's books stands $83,165,867 interest money that bond owners have not yet claimed.

The gritty oil circulates through your engine, impairing its performance, and ultimately leads to rapid depreciation and repairs. Automobile manufacturers recognize this dan ger, and in their Instruction Books, carefully ad vise regular draining and flushing of the crankcase. These important instructions are often disre garded; cleaning the crankcase is a job generally disliked. To meet this need, Modern Crankcase Cleaning Service has been established by first-class garages and other dealers, co-operating with the Stand ard Oil Company. These garages and dealers us Calol Flushing Oil, the scientific agent that cleans out old oil, dirt, grit and other impurities, and does not impair the lubricating efficiency of fresh oil used.
