C. A. In Germany, said that the con ditions surrounding youth in Ger many was discouraging. "There are 64 million people,” he said, "in a space two-thirds as large as the state of Texas, which is exactly 64 million too many.” American youth Ifves in a paradise where everything is "rosy." Mr. Gadet says. The Ger man youth has no goal and the col lege graduate has no hope of find ing employment after he receives his degree. He recommended that a boy make his own decision as to what profession he will follow and not be influenced too greatly by his par ents. To be willing to take wise council, and not consider just what he would like to do, but what he is most capable of doing. Mr. Gadet also said that a boy should not let financial gain have too much sway in making his decision for his life work. In other conferences the boys held a discussion of life problems center ed around vocation, sex, religion, athletics, and international relations In their discussions the boys came to the conclusion that the present eco nomical condition was due to faulty distribution, and lack of confidence, and that the solution to the present world problems was cooperation. They also drew the conclusion that the Inability of officials to control crime was partly due to lack of uni- formative laws in different sections of the country. The matter of girl relationships brought out these thoughts: That a boy choose his girl companions by the same standaMs he would use in choosing a wife. The girl must have personality, be attractive, profess religion, and have good common, horse sense. As Henderson brought his report to a close he left this thought with those listening: "What the world needs is a man. That man is each one of us, who must shajie his life to meet the problems of his generation, sanely.” Other boys attending the confer ence who touched upon highlights of the meeting were Eugene Hanby, Jim Lenhart, Allen Bowman, and Clark Paul. Clark Paul was elected to represent the Epworth League from the Methodist church. Bud Prime and Ed Bensel were elected to attend from the high school but were unable to make the trip.

Five airmail planes were refueled at the Umatilla Airport Monday by Sam Nye, representative for the Standard Oil company, managing the Hermiston station. The planes were unable to land at the Pasco, Wn„ field due to heavy fog which gave them only a 50-foot ceiling. Three o’ the 'lanes were pointed toward Boise, Idaho, and two of them toward Portland. The planes were heavily loaded with Christmas mail and each carried four passen gers. The well known pilot, Floyd Kiddle, who made his first landing at Umatilla airport Monday, compli mented Jess Goff, operator, on the landing conditions. Mr. Kiddle has been outstanding In the air service and received a badly mangled right arm a year ago or so when the plane he was crauking ran into him.

THIRTY PREDIT0RY ANIMALS BY different Third Fire Within Three Weeks; Every Article of Furniture Is Removed from House. The third fire within the past three weeks occurred Monday after noon when the residence owned by B. S. Kingsley caught fire from de fective wiring in the celling. When discovered the whole room was ablaze but the volunteer fire depart ment made a record by clearing the house of its contents just fifteen minutes after the alarm was given. The blaze was checked within five minutes after water was applied but the damage was considerable. The loss was covered by insurance and the adjuster will arrive today to es timate the damage. Mr. and Mrs. Kingsley had been home for lunch about 1:30 and had returned to the store about 2:00 o’clock. Neither of them were con scious of anything burning when they left the house. Evidently the fire was smouldering at the time they were in the house because it broke out within an hour after their departure. No insurance was carried on the furniture but every article was re moved front the house with the ex ception of the cook stove. Mr. and Mrs. Kingsley are now living at the Hermiston Hotel but hope to find a house to rent soon. Reconstruction on their own home will begin as soon as weather con ditions will permit. Mr. and Mrs. Kingsley are pioneer residents here and have operated a drygoods and grocery storo for years. ROBERT A. ALLEN. Robert A. Allen was born March 10, 1897, In Grants Pass, Oregon.
