. Boys and Girls of Today Better;
Professor of Ethics Explains Why
By MILLER HOLLAND
International News Service Staff
Correspondent
San Francisco, Nov. 12.—The youth
of a generation or so ago was morally
worse than the youth of today in the
opinion of Dr. Lynn T. White, pro
fessor of social ethics in the San
L Francisco Theological Sept inary of
f- the Presbyterian Church.
And not only that. Dr. White says,
but It is unfair to compare the morSls
of today’s younger generation wiA
those of the generation of thirty years
ago.
"It is unsportsmanlike, to put it
mildly,” Dr. White “for us
who did not have autos, movies, ra
dios, flying machines and jaxs or
chestras when we were young, to huri
vitnriqlic bolts at the boys and girls j
who are the first generation in bis
’ tory to have these things and who
have not yet learned to use them In
moderation.”
Generation Improved
, There is no doubt about it, Dr.
White believes, but that the present
younger generation is more intelli
gent. more thoughtful, and cleaner
than the generation of thirty years
or so ago.
Regarding the much talked of de l
generation and wildness among col
lege students. Dr. White says: '
"The undergraduates In our col
leges and ’universities have already
been educated beyond the moral stand
ards of the alumni.
“A clergyman friend of mine col
lided to me’ that shortly before he
left California to attend the UOtb an
niversary of his college in the east,
he received three circular letters from
undergraduate organisations beseech
ing him not to adorn bis person with

Atlanta, Ga.. Nov. 12.—Mell M.

a new date set for his execution.
The Supreme Court has ordered the

Hint to Flappers.
Flappers who are annoyed by mash

flooding his stntion: “Hello, is Helen
there?" "May I speak to Margaret?”
“\Yill you kindly ask Teresn to come
to the [Aone?” etc.
It happens this way. When a
masher asks a girl for her telephone
number she gives him the number of

see the deception—until he calls up;
I the flapper is allowed to go her way

will never be bothered by the same
masher again.
of San Francisco, agrees with Dr.
White—at least insofar as girls are
concerned.
The girl, of today is an improved
article over her sister of yester-year.
Dr. Scott told Eddie Boyden, popular
San Francisco newspaperman, the
other day.
Any man or woman who draws an
unfavorable comparison between the
“Girl of Today” and the “Girl of
Yesterday” is chirping through his
cheapeatt, according to Eddie’s ver
sion of what Dr. Scott said.

I)r. Scott continued:

Mobile has had a general increase
in the number of auto mishaps for

police force are among the plans to
check accidents.
New traffic rules, pertaining to

CAROLINA CONGRESS OF
PARENTS AND TEACHERS
Cniversal Brotherhood is Stressed as
Basis for Successful Parenthood.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
By J. C. BASKERVILL
Staff Correspondent
Burlington. Nov. 12. —Although;
there were many I'aings taken up at I
the state convention of the North
‘Carolina Congress of Parents and
Teachers, which dosed its three-day
session here last night after an in
i spiring address on the subject of j
i “World (t ide Parenthood” by Dr. El-j
! bert Russel, of Duke University, in!
w hich the principle at universal j
i brothet'aood was stressed as the basis !
for more successful parenthood, it was :
; perhaps in the round table discussions 1
j dealing with child problems, met by
every parent every day in the home,
that the 350 delegates to the conven
tion derived the greatest benefit. The
j reason for this is that these discus
j sions. instead of being theoretical gen
eralizations. eame more nearly meet-j
I ing the individual need of each par- j
' cut at the convention, than any oth-1
! er.
i And because the success or failure
1 of a chilli in school and in later life ;
j too. depends very largely on the health i
land physical condition of that, child, j
.the discussions dealing r with child.
I I health problems were listriied to with j
■a great deal nt interest" A'AfroT'aH ■
j the defects in child health, all are'
agreed that malnutrition Is perhaps |
the most common. . Neither is malnu-!
trition limited only to children from
poor or almost destitute families. In I
fa<-t, records kept by nutrition ex-|
ports in the various schools of this ]
state dhow that the largert percentage |
of malnutrition is often found in
schools which draw the majority of j
their pupils from the homes of the I
1 middle elass and more wealthy people, j
j And this fact makes the handling of j
the problem even more difficult. j
Many children are suffering from |
, malnutrition, whose parents are to
tally oblivious to the fact, it was
brought out b.v the speakers. And
while underweight is an unmistakable
symptom, there are many other symp
toms. Children who look tired, have
rings under their eyes, round should
ered or stooped, are usually in this
condition because they are under
nourished, according to Dr. Albert S.
Root, child specialist of Raleigh, in
his discussion of malnutrition and
proper food for the growing tfiild.
! There are of course a large number
! of causes of malnutrition, most of
j which can be included in four major
I causes, which Dr. Root gave ns (1)
i physical defects, (2) lack of control
; of home. (3) fatigue, due to over ex
j oration in play or at school and (4)
food, whether balanced or unbalanced.
For the correction of malnutrition
the extensive use of a vegetable diet
I was urged, and the substitution of
whole wheat bread for bread made
from white flour was declared to be
essential. Rabbits fed on bread made;
from white flour, with no other food, j
die yi from two to three weeks, ex-!
1 periments have shown, while if they
are fed on whole wheat bread, they j
thrive, become fat and sleek and live j
j indefinitely. Dr. Root declared. ;

BARBARA. TOUGH 18
AGAIN ON THE STAND
——— v |gH
Asked About Girls Who Had Gofi*igyiffg
prd About the Minister and Chtit

| Court House. Somerville. X. J., i
j Nov. 12.—(A 3 )—Barbara Tough, i.
| Scotch, and with a conscience, was
sorely troubled when she was recalled
| today as a witness iu the Hall-Mills
| ease. The former maid in the Hall I
jhome was made to "feel mean” when,
‘ she was asked to give the names of
'girls of the Guild'' who gossiped
iawiSti fho "frieudliiiit-ss" hcfttdtta tf»i" t ‘“!
II Rev. Edward \V. Hall and ill's. EW- V
| nor Mills several years before they |
| were sla'n together. Instructed Ify the
i court to give the names of the gnttgipr.
j ers after she liatl protested, she dedar
| ed with manifest emotion that she felt
"like n sneak." At that, the Scotch it
| (assy's revelation of gossipping girls
did not hurt their reputation as at to- .. S
| day to any extent, for she knew few
jof their married names, she declared «
I after adding that most of them “hare
j married well.”
Their maiden names were given in
Ja disgusted tone, and with so niorii of i
' the "bonnie brogue" of old Sootlgt)d,
that only the few fellow countryatgn %
of tile witness present could identify I
them. The description "friemlliuess" -
used by the defense counsel on cross
examination referring to Mr. Hall and S
Mrs. Mills drew a protest from the
Htatc's representatives that the word
did not fit the case. It remained in cS
the record when previous testimony
showed the witness had used it. $5
The Scotch woman said that while . 2
she was not a member of the church |
of which Mr. Hall was rector, she was
a member of the Guild. She heard
the Guild members “mostly girls" gos
eipping of the "friendliness."
