That there is a “boy p1'0bl§>m," 14150 21 gill

problem, it were useless to ignore. Wheth- er the problem is or is not more acutethazi ordinarily is a question. 'l`he'reniark is oi_- ten heard that “when we were young' boys and girls were better hehaved, more respectful to their seniors, more stu_dious and generally more amenable to discipline and law and order than the_boy_s and girls of today. Perhaps our fail'in_g memories may have something to do with this com-_ parison; perhaps _also a little of the en- chantment that distance lendshas some- thing to do with it. Be this as it may, _tlic boy and girl problem exists, as it has exist- ed since Adam was a boy. ‘ Bad boys, ill least are told of in old Testament iiai'rat» ive and although, we do not recall any mention of the pranksof girls, we may safely assume they were not any better than the boys and that neither the boys noi' the girls were, as a class, _ any better or worse than the boys and girls of todag

This does not argue that the boy an girl problem should b_e ignored. It_require ‘ treatment, not solution, for it _will nev_e. be solved as long as boys and girls persis in comin'g into the world and_being plaz- ed in homes and on paths of life of some body else’s choosing. There are thieye among boys of this city; there are silly gir; who walk the streets at night. This ha. been demonstrated in- the Juvenile Cour within the past few weeks. Gentle, Christ ian reader, dofnot be shocked! _ If you, ir. your childhood, had been placed in the sam' home environment as these, the chance' are nine hundred and ninety nine_ in ' thousand that you also would be a thief <; a silly girl walking the streets at nigh' The trouble with the boy and girl prob lem today, and yesterday, and a thousan years ago is that we are tryng to refor. the product not the source of the produc and We cannot “gather grapes from this tlcs.” lf oui' advanced civilization, to sa' nothing of our advanced Christianity. were to take up the ‘home problem, make a _ effort to enlighten the homes, the boy_ an girl proil;‘:lem would be vastly simplifiec The boy and the girl are, with but few ex ceptions, born straight, morally and men tally and are turned into thieves or si_ll_\ girls by their environment and early train

ing or want of training.

Under the circumstances it is necessaii

that boys and girls so trained or not train ed and who develop into thieves and sill girls must be looked after by the state. Ii no respectable cities outside of this prov

ince, so far as we _ can learn, are young' boys and girls permitted to roam the streets

after night. This is a matter for our pol

ice. As to those of them who succeed in

going wrong there should be a reform atory to take the place of the home tha’ neglected them. These things we owe tf t'he future of our country, the future fo' the safety of which so many thousands o'

our best men are giving up their lives in Europe. The boy and girl problem is ours as much as the problem of stamping out tyranny is that of our sons and our broth- ers. What shall it profit if we stamp out tyranny in Europe and leave our little boys

and girls to grow up thieves and silly women.

` THE (‘0S'l‘ OF TIIINGS

il..-_i__

The imposition of a war tax on certain

articles has set some statisticians to figur- ing out how much of the war tax goes to the treasury and how much to the retailer, the wholesaler and the manufabturer.

Matches, perhaps being in more common

use and selling at a figure that can be eas- ily manipulated _has been selected as an example. Before the tax of five cents a box was imposed the manufacturers sale price is, rightly or wrongly, placed at three cents. The wholesaler’s price is one third more or four cents; the retailer adds fifty per cent, making the price six cents to the

consumer. The war tax of fige cents added t th ,rn n u pr' Q rings it up to eighteceiiltsui gd vi' ol ers one third ad

ditiomputs it up to a little oveniten cents, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ and the retailers fifty per cent brings it to_ Can rries on. ' A _ I _"Wit M" °“¢°°"- ' ~

fifteen cents, the present retail price of matches. But here is where the funny bus- iness comes in: T_he wholesaler and the retailer are getting ia rake off on the war tax.-What right has any business man to take profit on a stamp? The cost of the matches is three cents, not eight cents. The, affixing of a five cent stamp to a box in the factory is not a legitimate basis for profit.i The consumer is now paying a war tax of|

es he ‘buys _while the government has fixed the schedule at five cents, and while alsoi neither the manufacturer, the wholesaler 'nor the retailer pays a fraction of it.

If the stamps were affixed to the box as it is being sold over the counter in the re- ' tail store as is done with proprietary med-' icines, it would avoid any suspicion of juggling with war profits. _ ‘ This is the way the affair looks to the or-

dinary layman who only buys matches. If it is the correct method of figuring some explanation will be in order. _

Automobilists and other gasoline users

who contend that gasoline supplies are adequate and that there is no necessity to observe the Sunday prohibition request, should study carefully some figures issued by no less an authority than the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. These show that Amei~ica’s daily gasoline con- sumption is about 6,307,000 gallons_Sliglit- ly more than one-half of this quantity is required for motor vehicles and about two million gallons for motor boats, traction engines, airplanes, etc., while various wai- needs demand another million gallons. The daily waste is figured by the same author- ity at 15,000,000 gallons, and more than I sixty per cent of this waste is due to need- ‘ less use of cars. The consumption, legiti- mate aiid wasteful, is approximately one million gallons a day in excess of produc- < tion. That is why it is necessary to cut out Sunday joy riding. It is essential that gas- oline be saved, and as the conservation 1

oline it is right that all give support to that

method.

Since the war began, says an infiuentiai
