yet constitutes a menace he said.
“There is a grave danger, how-
ever,” he warned, ‘‘that these vag-
abond boys may prove to be a so-
cial menace. They will assume in
time, the traditional attitude of the
hobo. There is the constant threat
of demoralization by contact with
older men on the road."
CHICAGO, Ai^g. 13. (UP)—A so-
cial menace lurks in the singular
circumstance of thousands of home-
less boys, without employment or
other ties, wandering aimlessly ov-
er the land, professor A. W. Mc-
Millan, of the University of Chica-
go, declared today in an analysis of
personal research.
Some estimates have placed the
number of boy nomads at 200,000,
a figure which, professor McMillan

about the youthful wanderer*. -
He talked to the tattered, under* <
nourished boys he found there, and
to the older men, hardened in the 'J
ways of the road. He interviewed
local police authorities, rallro«|.>O' 9

He found, he said today, that the ,
United States’ wandering children S
are uhllke those of Russia tn that
they ate not only of an older age,
but do not travel in gangs. Individ-
uality indicated by the latter dis-
tinctlon also is behind the urge to
travel. 4
"The youths of 17 to 31 start Out
on their own at the request Of par-
ents,” Prof. McMillan said.
"Sometimes it is because they
feel themselves burdens in largo H
families without Income, t1*®
“Sometimes it is a craving for ad- j
venture, but the boy travelers who
are seeking ‘thrills’ are in the mi- 3

Prof. McMillan said his observe- f
tions convinced him that the num. .
ber of boys on the open road in th* S
United States is "very large.”
“In El Paso, Tex.,” he said, “J '
found that during a ten month! J
period, 11,000 boys under 21 had

there were 1,500 to 1,900 reported

He discovered on his visits to ho- *-3

were of a clean cut type.-

DALLAS, Tex., Aug. 13 (UP) —
Dr. Atticus Webb, Texas tnti-Sa-
loon League superintendent, is
ranked with Al Capone by the Cru-
saders, national prohibition repeal
organization.
He was listed as a “public ene-
my” along with eight others who
are “preventing repeal of the 18th
amendment” in a bulletin from the
Crusader headquarters here. The
Washington chapter chose the “en-
emies.”
Webb and the other eight were
described as persons “whose pro-
fessional interests in prohibition
thwart the passage of legislation in
accordance with the will of the ma-
jority of the people.”
The bulletin said if the nine could
be suppressed, the prohibition
movement would collapse.

one of the most crucial of these
problems. Their situation Is not so
different from that of the early pio-

LYNCHBURG, Va., Aug. 13.
(UP)—Senator Carter Glass, Dem.,
Va., was on record today with a
statement denying he wrote "that
part of President Hoover’s speech
pertaining to the 18th amendment”
and declaring "the President's
speech is identical with a proposal
offered by me in the Senate.”
His proposal, for State liquor
control, the senator said, "was
voted for by every Democratic
senator except four and opposed by
a majorityof Republican senators.
“Had President Hoover sooner
made known his views on repeal ot
the 18th amendment, the likelihood
is that Congress would have adopt-
ed my resolution for State liquor
control and we would now be on
the way to solution of this per-
plexing problem," Senator Glass
concluded. ’

CAMILLA LOST no time in look-
irg for a position. She might have
taken her summer of leisure and
happiness without a care, but that
was not like Camilla. Already, she
experienced a wave of panic when
shy thought of the possibility of be-
ing dependent upon Peter. Of course,
she never would allow herself to do
that, but she knew that the only way
in which she could free him of that
responsibility was to get a position
and prove that she qpuld take care
of herself adequately. That had to be
proved, too, before the day arrived
when she would no longer be de-
pendent upon the Hoyt resources.
She preferred to relinquish that
dependence as soon as possible, now
that she was secretly married to
I’eter. There was one point In her
favor, that her career embraced one
of the few kinds of business that
were prospering in the midst of the
depression. Advertising demanded
the cervices of more commercial art-
ists than any other one activity, and
advertising was one of the few lines
that profited when business was
Blow. The less business there was,
the more desperately competitors ad-
vertised their products and conten-
ded fo^ the favor of the buying pub-
lic-.
There was no reason for her to
consult the help wanted columns in
these days. No one needed to ad-
vertise for help and little was needed.
A chaage in the personnel of any
business was more likely to dispose
of surplus help than to require more.
Camilla surmised that her only
chance was to submit working proofs
of ber originality, hoping that they
would attract the optimistic eye of
some advertising expert.
She had worked out a set of water
color plates in the modernistic vogue
of angles, of which she was rather
proud. There was also a

BERLIN, Aug. 13. (UP)—
Germany, birthplace of the
nudist movement, has voiced
officially her dissatisfaction
with nakedness and bathing
beauty contests by strict bans
on them;
Franz Bracht, Reich com-
missioner for Prussia, issued a
decree today prohibiting the
appearance of nude or scantily
clad girls in theaters or clubs.
He also ruled that authorities
should exercise more caution
at bathing beaches.
“It is unworthy of German
women,” the commissioner said
“to parade in front of juries
and spectators in bathing cos-
tumes.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 13.
Mrs. Mabie Page, Dallas, Texas,
arrived here today to attend the
funeral of her son, Harry C. Rob-

He died in a hotel here Aug. 5

where he had joined with other
World War veterans in the demon-
stration for the immediate cash
payment of the soldiers’ bonus.
OccasionalWife^—
Sketched during hours or watclMng
the children who came to play in the
park, and of which diversion she
never tired. These she arranged in a
portfolio and set out. with a list of
advertising agencies in her purse.
Already, she had been Peter’s wife
for a week, during which he had
permitted her no time to consider
an occupation. They had talked -'or
hours and walked in the park and
shared frugal little dinners in small
restaurants that proclaimed their
courtesy of “Tables for ladies.” But
neither of them minded this econom-
ical manner of getting acquainted.
Discovering all the little faults and
virtues of each other, learning what
subjects to avoid in their conversa-
tions that might irritate the other—
every moment of these was exquisite
joy. And tiie quality of food or the
services of waiters was of infinites-
mal consequence, as compared with
smiling into each other’s eyes across
any table and sharing little intimate
jests that interested no one in the
world except themselves.
These things would go on forever,
of course, but in this genesis of their
life together, it was so sweet just to
forget everything else and delight In
its novelty. It was Camilla who in-
sisted that they mut^ both get to
work in earnest, else there would be
no happy future, of which they
talked and dreamed so confidently.
The summer term at National began,
and Peter resumed his studies and
work with new* gravity, while
Camilla began her quest for employ-
ment.
Their experiment .with marriage
was just one of modern youth’s des-
perate efforts to adjust itself to the
complicated demands made by life
and a rapidly changing world. In the
process of innumerable experiences.
It makes some startling and daring
attempts .to solve the Increasing
problems of marriage. But being
iravt and candid and loyal, most of
them revert again to the same basic
fundamentals upon which life began.
Reconciling the standards and
ideals of the past with present eco-
nomic problems is not a task which
can be accomplished in a day. nor
by one theory. It must be worked

she explained sedately. Folk invari-

little girl, and Camilla feared that
the agency managers would think so.
too. So she searched her -'ocabulary
for erudite phrases.
Mr. Bowman smiled with amuse-
ment “You like to work, then?’*
“Why. of course. I should think
everyone would like to work—that
is, If he can do the <ind of work he
enjoys. Drawing is my work and my
pleasure, too.”
"Well, most people imagine they
would like to work if they could get
the work to do. When they get it,
that's different. Perhaps it is like
everything we want when we get it.”
“You mean that when we get
things we have wanted, we lose in-
terest in the possession. But work is
different, isn’t it? Getting it is only
the beginning toward an end.”
“Many people don’t think so.” her
adviser mused. He seemed tQ be in a
leisurely and conversational mood,
for which Camilla was gratefuL
These little excursions into the busi-
ness element and contacts with its
administrators were a revelation to
her, and valuable.
“You would be surprised how
many people believe that If they Just
had a chance to do something’im-
portant, they would meet the re-
quirements. Yet they never would
consider doing the work first on the
possibility of its meeting unknown
requirements. It is so much easier

“I appreciate your compliments,

“You need it — particularly now.

others who aro clever and industri-
ous to compete with you. That ex-
plains why the dreamer can’t get in

who are capable and willing to
work.”
Camilla reflected that she might
resent this man’s coldly practical ob-
servations, except that she knew he
was right and knew what he was
talking about. She felt a little
friendly toward him as he took her
name and address and promised to
let her know if he had anything rhe
could do. All the managers whom
she interviewed had done that, so it
delineated nothing in particular. It
was just as probable that she never
would see him again.
