Inst night. The. cylinder heads of the

neither engine lost the tracks. The
seven were killed when a two-inch
steam pipe, torn loose from the cylin
der lie.ni! of the switch engine, swept
around and crashed through the win
dow of a car of the passenger train
occupied by negroes, transforming it
Into n cauldron.

also died instantly.

inthed menial.
Indiscriminate fondling and spoon
ing among young i?ople Is undoubted
ly responsible for a large proportion
of the Juvenile delinquency of the nn
tion, said Dr. Barker. He aald that
the red-blooded manhood of the youth
of the nation Should be appealed to
that they "play square" with the girls.
Dr. Barker was exceedingly farm
and frank in his denunciation of those
persons who violate the prohibition
law of the country, nntr was even
more severe In his criticism of the erat
while respected citizen whose pur
chases make tbe bootlegger possible
than towards the bumble seller of the
contraband.
''How can we expect laiy lo have
resnect for the law when they see
their fathers sneaking down under
the ground to buy, liquor of a nigger?'
he asked. "Everytlme you break a
law of that kind It is practically the
same as tearing down nn American
flag and spitting upon it."
Speaking before tbe women of the
city, at a meeting sponsored by the
Concord Women's Club, in the after
noon, Dr. Barker declared that the
type of moral and social characters
of the coming generations depend
wholly upon the women of our coun
try. "The most splendid career," said
Dr. Barker, "ia that of a mother who
ushers into the world a healthy human
being, and then to train that human
being into what it should lie."
Having as ,his subject" "A Mother's
Responsibility to Her Daughter," Dr.
Barker did not bandy words In his ef
forts to show mothers the seriousness
of allowing their daughters to take
automobile rides at night alone with
their escort, to dance the modern jazz,
which he denounced as a sexual, hel
lish pastime, and to attend a picture
show picturing a sex movie llun. "It
ia up to every woman to stop the show
ing of the impnre pictnrea by attend
inir the really good pictures," he con
tinned. "Vice is a monster dancing his
way into every part of the united
States and it is up to tbe older peo
ple to correct ' tbe social and moral
standards of civilisation which haye
been hanging In tbe balance since the
world war."
Outlining the most Important rc
siHmslblllHea of a mother. Dr. Barker
declared that obedience of the child iu
the home comes first. As an example
of tnls Dr. Barker related the firat
Team of Helen Keller's life, whom,
he said, he regarded as the moat won
derful personality from certain stand
nointa. In tbe world. Helen Keller
' never would have been the remark
ble person she Is, If she had not been
taught to Obey, even wttn ner uanui
caps- A child ahould never be unpun
ished, and tt ti the mother' duty to
Btmlv the child and bfar upon the
child the discipline which will give
the best results.
"What -we need," Dr. Barker de
clared, "ia a dose of old-fashioned re
llgioua folks." The .nfpdera mothers
are getting away from their responsi
bility -to God and their chlMren. Bv
r narenL if possible, should, with
their children, attend Church every
Sunday.
Another duty which parents ahould
not ahlrlc maintained Dr. Barker, Is
that H exphlnjing aex life to their
children. No matter how young tbe
