Mrs. Hardin turned to her son.
"What do you think about them,
Richard?"
Richard grinned at his mother.
"What are you getting at now,
Mom? Some bee In your bonnet,
I know. Well, two or three times
I've picked one up and read
through two or three pages, but
they bored me. For the life of me,
I don't understand what's so fas

set yourself to find out," observed

was growing up I m rather a
lonely child and I read a good
deal of the time. I read every thing
readable that I could get hold of
? tome of it wa? good, tome mi
traah. No one paid any attention
to what I was reading; all they
said wA that I always had my
nose in a book or that I would
ruin my eyes. So, when 1 had you,
Richard, I made up my mind to
get you into the habit of readlBf
good literature only, if I could,
hoping that then the other kind
wouldn't appeal to you. While ywi
were little I picked out all your
books ? the ones we bought for
you and the ones from the library.
Of course, when you were older
your choice of the subject was con
sidered. One Christmas, 1 remem
ber, you were given a couple of
boy's books ? books that were
written just to sell. You glanced
through them but didn't read them,
and 1 heard you say to one of your
friends that they weren't worth
reading. That was a proud mo
ment for me."
"And now, I take it," said ter
son, smiling at her affectionately,
"you're leading up to suggesting
that I pursue the same method
with Richie in regard to the
comics."

Thousands of Unnoticed
Stars Make Debut in Paris
Paris (AP) ? Thousands of new
stars made their movie debut re
cently but they will never go to
Hollywood.
The film was made at the Paris
observatory through a powerful
telescope beamed on the center of
the milky way.
Andre Danjon, director of the
observatory, said the stars had
never been noticed before.
scrihing some o f the dangerous
?tuff that's la tuny of them. You
wouldn't let Richie cat infected
food. Then don't let him read theae
poieoi low things. One article I
read waa by a famoua woman
columoiat. She said many o I the
comic* depict "violence, crime and
sexuality in the lewdest, meat
brutal form.' Those are ber exact
words, They're evilly exciting, and
she aaid that, almost without ex
ception, they are the principal
matter of juvenile delinquents."
Richard waa not smiling now,
any more than his mother, and
Virginia looked deeply concerned.
"I didn't dream there waa any
tbinf like that in them," ah* said
"I though they were Juat funny
? like Mutt and Jeff uaed to be
when I waa little."
"There are Just funny onea,"
?aid Mrs. Hardin, "and soma that
are educational. But they're mixed
up with the onea that depict hor
ror, and a child doesn't discrimin
ate. Its the parents' reaponaibility
to do that."
"You've convinced me, Mom,"
said her son soberly. "I'm going to
investigate them for myself."
We'll do it together," said Vir
ginia, "and I'm going to talk to
the mothers of the boys and girls
with whom Richie plays. Why, may
be we can get the store* to stop
carrying the poiaon comics!"
"That's what some towns In Con
necticut did," said Hr( Hardin.
"If one tawn can do it, another
can. And remember, don't go
against all comic books, because
some are all right."
"Yea, we shall have to be spe
cific," said Richard. "You can
trust me, Mom. Virginia and I will
go over them carefully and we'll
note down the writers and pub
lishers of the harmful ones, and
we'll spread the word to other
parents. I imagine many of them
will be just as surprised and
shocked as we are."
