Knktr Audit " Ctreglstla THE MEN OF TOMORROW all The small boy, for that we see so much of him, is usually a mystery. ,Ve talk a great deal about him; we have traditions Oiat begin, "small boys like " and "small boys always want ," but half (of the time we are yrong, and we seldom take any pains to set ourselves right. The Boys' Club Federa tion of America recently set out to get the right slant on boiood's ideals, boyhood's ranis and boyhood's Abits. It questioned a great many thousand boys, scattered through more than 125 cities in all parts of the country; and it learned some interesting things. To begin with, baseball Is not because of any defect in the game itself. It is simply that the growth of cities has left fewer and fewer places where boys can play ball. Besides, the equipment is expensive. In cities where boys' clubs or other organizations have provided athletic fields, baseball is as popu lar as ever. But in most cities the supply of play grounds is woefully inad equate; and in such cases the lads play "soft ball," because less equipment and a smaller field are in volved. Boyhood's ambitions for the future are slowly changing, too. Years ago the average city youngster .wanted to become a police man or a fireman, so that he could wear a bright new uniform. Now the average youngster aspires to be come an aviator. In the football season he is apt to think that he would like to follow in Knute Rochne's footsteps, and in the sum mer he may yearn to be an other Babe Ruth or Hack .Wilson; but day in and day out it is the aviator who is his particular ideal and Lindburgh is still the Amer ican boy's favorite hero. Boys' reading habits Seem to have changed for the better. The old yellow back thriller is still read, but it is not nearly as pop ular as it was a generation ago. Today s boy reads boys' magazines. It is in teresting to note that he still reads the Alger books. Mark Twain's tales ars favorites, and Ralph Henry Barbour is widely read. , Now all of this is a little more important than we suppose. Boys have a way of following their own bent in games and day-dreams. The most we can do is see to it that the influences which guide their choice in these matters are whole some. And by studying .what they are playing and .what they are dreaming about we can tell whether we are succeeding. It is a good thing for us to check up on the matter occasion ally; for the day dreams and games of today's boy hood will be reflected in the actions of the adult .world tomorrow.

Eighteen Years Ago In Klamath CARL WH1TLOCK issues a llttlo booklet occasionally called the "Opllmeter." In the last one Earl drifted Into a paragraphing attitude of mind and among other things said: "Don't grumble at failure. Without It ther would b few successes." "The first qualification for be coming a torchbearer Is courage to advanc through the darkness." "There Is no wholly satisfac tory substitute for brains, but silence docs pretty well." tj;6 call a layoff paying taxes now for the last legislature, in Its desire to befrieud "the poor, down trodden" decided to annul the penally and excess In terest on delinquent taxes and make them straight eight per cent. Many of us have to borrow money to pay taxes every year. It Is a custom and he who does sot is quit lucky. So, Instead of paying eight per cent interest to the party who loans money, lust let the county carry the load, for only eight per cent will have to be paid to the couuty. And the answer wilt likely be tremendous delinquent tax ac counts In every county lu Ore gon. Not that anyone holds to tho desire to have heavy Interest and heavy penalties exacted because a person is late In paying taxes, but that Is not the question. The questton is can a county operate and carry loans to the people at the same time, for the new law plainly makes a money lender out of the county as a whole. TT, like a number of other laws, will have to be corrected In two years, and in the meantime w will see a lot of fun when county courts have to Issue war rants "not paid for lack of funds." CANCY loan companies have be gun to feel the pinch. For the past ten years Oregon has hsd a cluster of "money hand ling" institutions spring up with very little behind them. The game was to promote the monoy from the pocket of the Investor into their hopper and they would loan that money out to others and Bloodless War Wins Limited Dominion Sta tus for India, But Grave Problems Still Lie Ahead in Mahatma s rath In his three preceding stories. Milton Bronner has told of the drsmatlo rise of Mahatnia Gandhi to power among India's millions as he fought a bloodless war for native freedom. Today, In his final story, Mr. Bron ner tells of the successful culmination of that war and Gaudhra still graver prob lems that II ahead.

The mass of the people believed in him. He hsd suffered for a ause. He had shown that In his frail body there burued an uu quenchable spirit. But during his imprisonment mauy things had happened to dis turb him. When the elections tor the first Indian assembly had taken place in ISio. Gandhi aud his friends boycotted the electlou. But while he was in prisw the elections lor the second assembly took place In 1921 and a considerable number of his former followers decided to run as candidates. Their deter mination sin to work front with in by obstructing all legislation. They were partially successful. Muuy laws were rejected and were only euacted by the supreme powers vested In the British gov ernment. Hut there was one thing above II others that distressed the weak little man who had gone to Juhu to recuperate from his Ill ness. It was the lack of unity be tween India's .Moslems and Hindus. At one time. Gandhi had brought about such unity In the fight for Independence. And after ho went to Jail, he wrote a letter to Hakim Akmal katin. president of all the national In dian congress, adjuring him to do all he could to preserve this uni ty, so the Indians could fight side by side tor a great Cause, Ita-llRious lllotlng Sickens Gandhi's Houl But such was not to be.

A. J. Simmers, a farmer re siding near the (iap, was brought to this city this afternoon suf fering; from serious wounds about the head. He was hurried to Wackburn hospital, where he was attended bv Dr. It. K. Hamilton Later in the day he underwent an operation, and is reported resting' easily. It appears that Mr. Simmer attempted to fitop his team after they had started to run away. He fell beneath the feet of the animals, and was struck several times on the head.

Also when you are asked to put money into someone else's game just remember that over head and salaries have to be paid, and then ask yourself U the person or the institution has any more ability to make your money earn than you possess. A few questions directed at yourself before you turn over the check will often cool off the heat of salesmanship you have been under and calm, second thought will cause you to cither put your money In a safe Irnnk on savings account interest, or probably cause you to Invest In something with which you are familiar. Distance lends enchantment and it also lends mystery. But, remember, the fellows In distant points have no better ways to moke money earn money "than you have right here in a grow ing country. Solicitors Fail To Get Approval Of Merchants During the past week seven would-be solicitors have called upon the solicitation and advertis ing committee of the Klamath Merchants' bureau with requests for permission to solicit adver tising, etc. These requests have all been refused, the committee announced r rlday. and no en dorsement cards have been Is sued, contrary to reports circu lated by solicitors.

On the 12th day it was considered a crisis had come. His doctors thought his life in immediate danger and urged him to take fond. Rut this 12th day happened to be one of the days on which he took a vow of ttilence. To the urging of his doc tors, he wrote on a slate: "Iluve faith In God." When his friends besaught him to listen to reason, he wrote: "You have forgotten the power of prayer.' Ho came through triumphantly. He had done his penance. Gandhi returned to his little colony near Ahmadabad and threw all his energies Into tho spinning wheel tampaign. For the lime being he was more or less quiescent politically. In November, 1927. the British government named the Hlmon commission to examine? ito the wholo Indian question and make 1 a report. In December, 1928, the national congress met at Calcutta and adopted an ultimatum that unless the British parliament uc-cept.-d a constitution proposed by Gandhi's asKOtlatos, the Nehru brothers, the non-violent, non cooperation campaign would be reconi ineuced. This marked Gandhi's formal re-entry Into pol itic. The situation gradually became more tense and In December, U2U, the national congress mot at I.nhore, dropped the Nehru report, claimed complete Inde pendence, declared a boycott of all legislatures and launched a civil disobedience cumpalgn. Following the Hlmon report, the British government decided to tiold an Indian round-table conferen-e In London early In 1130. Itut Gandhi and his con gress friends decided to boycott the conference and did so. On January 26, 1930. he and his friends celebrated Independ ence day. That had a familiar American ring about It. On January 30, Gandhi did another thing with an American accent. Just as Wood row Wil son laid down his 14 points to the enemy during the World war, so Gandhi Issued his 14 points to the government of In dia. These Included abolition of the government salt monopoly with the right of natives to make their own salt; freedom for political .prison on, thou-.

It was not necessary to put him on trial, as he had been rolM-d before, with a major part If his former sentence still unserved. He wa acrordlugly Jailed at I'oona. In the meantime, the Indian round-table conference was held at London and a considerable measure of agreement was found between the ctaxhliig Inteteats. lint tha Ilrlilsh government de rided that no positive steps could he taken until the Indians or all faiths and political hellefa could get together further, They real ised that nothing could be done so luti as they held In Jslt Hie most powerful lender In India.
