§ BRISBANE THIS WEEK More Years, More Cares Monkeys and Yellow Fever The King Sees Poverty Ancient Koran Found The French have a saying, referring «0 & man's age, “One year more, one care more'’—Un an de plus, un soin de plus, European nations might take for their motto, “One treaty more, one more dan- ger of war.” Italy, Austria, Hungary have a three-power treaty under which Italy guarantees Aus- trian independence, against any attempt by Germany to ab- sorb Austria, for instance, There i8 possible cause for war if any cause were lacking, Ar ‘hur Brisbane Sao Paulo, Brazil, worries about re- ports brought by health officers from the forests of the upper Sorocabana area. In that region, where mosqui- toes are thick, explorers frequently saw “monkeys with high fevers” drop out of trees and die, dozens of them, victims of yellow fever. Fortunately for Brazil cities, the Jungle mosquito that bites monkeys and gives them yellow fever keeps away from cities. The fight against disease- bearing mosquitoes and rats would keep men busy, if they were not busy already killing each other in war, Edward VIII, new king of England, visited the magnificently luxurious ocean steamer Queen Mary in Glasgow, then went from house to house, knock- ing on doors, visiting some of the worst slum dwellings in all his kingdom. Later, talking to Lord Melchett, the king put the problem of England, this country and the whole world In these few words: “How do you reconcile a world that has produced this mighty ship with the slums we have just visited?” A marvelously {illustrated ancient manuscript of the Koran, found in a shop of an antiquity dealer of Cairo, Egypt, was bought for fifty pounds. Heaven knows how many thousands of pounds it is actually worth, The Koran is sald to have been writ- ten by a highly educated Jew, who suggested ideas to Mohammed, the lat- ter being unable to write, It Is possible, however, that angels, supposed to have revealed divine truth to Mohammed, also taught him to write, Good news for tree growers, fruit trees or others. You may get rid of insect pests by hammering the trunks of trees with a riveting machine, such as 18 used In driving rivets In city skyscrapers, A California inventor patented the process, This writer proposes to try it In a New Jersey orchard at the earliest possible moment. The rivet- ing 1s sald to loosen insect pests, after which it is easy to wash them off with a strong spray of water, no chem- icals needed. To save the tree from Injury, It is probably desirable to put several thicknesses of old automobile tires or tubes between the bark and the riveting machine, There is plenty of money in this country, billions of it, Jesse Jones will tell you, but It is not circulating, as unhealthy for money in a country as for blood in your veins. You know the strange, perhaps true, story of a man who unwittingly passed a counterfeit $10 bill. It went through the hands of ten Individuals, pald to the man who originally passed it. He identified and destroyed it. One hundred dollars’ worth of debts had been pald, nobody was any the worse. Money Is a queer thing, Do not give “living toys” to your chil dren for Easter presents. Many par ents and friends thoughtlessly give children helpless living creatures, eas. fly hurt—live chicks, or newly hatched ducklings.

That would cost twenty-four thousand mil lion dollars a year. know it can't be done, but do not dare say so individually. Townsend clubs have organized mil lions of votes.

But youth of 1036 is going to vote with & mind of its own, There are obvious reasons for this. Times have changed. The party now In power 8 not the Democratic party as the fathers of these young men and women knew it. It has transcended old party boundaries in a number of ways. It, is reasonable to suppose that a good share of the youths who might have cast their vote for an old guard Demo- cratic candidate will vote Republican swe lanai Rh SA The end of the trail. revealing that the 1935 “crime age” was nineteen years, the United States bureau of investigation declared that most criminal youths committed their crimes because they were In need of something and were not able to earn enough money to obtain it honestly, Social forces and agencies are not apathetic to the crisis that youth faces. Indeed several movements are well under way to arrive at a solution of the problem. Universities, private business and government are all in the battle, and among the leaders are such pe next fall, By the same token the New Deal, with its vigor and sweeping op- eration appealing to youth of a cer tain type, will draw some votes which would have been Republican in the old days. Parties Organize Youth. Both parties are well along toward organizing the younger voters in the campaign. Democrats of the ages of about twenty-one to forty are belng induced to join the Young Democratic Clubs of America, under Frank Wick- hem of Rioux Falls, 8 D. while the Young Republicans are being organized by J. Kenneth Bradley, former state senator in Connecticut, and Miss Dolly Madison, Naturally the two movements must operate under different conditions. The party in power is in control of federal patronage and rewards for party serv. basis. The other party must base its sues. With American youth holding so much weight in the political balance, it would not be amiss to review the situation In which this class finds it. self today. According to Information supplied by the National Youth Administration, there are in this country approximate. Iy 28,000,000 persons between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five, Thirty-four per cent of these milllons are “out of work, out of school or in relief fami Hes.” About 15,000,000 are working or are in school. It 1s estimated that ap- proximately 800,000 of the young peo- ple now being supported hy relief have released by the International Labor Office at Geneva, Switzerland, a few months ago indicated that one-fourth of all the persons in the world listed as unemployed were less than twenty. five years of age, Blame Idle Youth for Crime. The 8.000000 youths unemployed in economic one. (This figure must not be confused with the total of 8.000000 first voters, ns the unemployed youth total includes millions who are not yet of voting age.) There are various estimates of the total number of all unemployed which have been pub. lished ; the American Federation of La. bor's figure (one of the highest) for January was 12,600,000, This would in- dicate that youth presents at least two- thirds of the whole unemployment problem, it is this idleness of so many young which has been blamed for a rge share of the nation's crime In last few years. it is not the work. steals automobiles and filling stations and stores. In names as Frances Perkins, secretary of labor; Owen D. Young, president of the General Electric company : Hen. ry Ford; Aubrey Williams, director of the National Youth Administration, and former Gov, John G. Winant of New Hampshire, who is chalrman of the social security board Of course civic clubs, Y. M. C. A's. Catholle Youth organizations, Boy Scouts, 4H clubs and similar organizations are of immeasurable assistance, Certain effects, direct or indirect, of the activities of these and other groups are changing the status of youth for the better: It is possible that the old age pen. sion plans will create new jobs for young men and women through the retirement of thelr elders, Stay in School Longer. A tendency Is being developed to keep the young folks in school longer, the NYA funds going for this purpose, largely. The effects of this tendency the nation is gradually being educated to the five-day week, whick permits sharing the work Among more per- sons by staggering the working days. This would allow youth to enjoy a larger share of the jobs avallable, From the combination of the forces which have been listed here the under- lying problem of unemployment will ul. timately be solved, and the result should be a general uplift in the morale of youth which will benefit our entire civ. ilization, There is nothing quite so stimulating, so provocative to further ambition in youth than the jingle of coins earned from first jobs, It makes the average youth more interested in improving society In general because the spending of his own money gives him the feeling that he is a definite, contributing part of that society, rath. er than a “sponger” upon it. Where to Find Jobs? Opinions concerning the manner in which jobs for youth are to be found or created differ widely. They will have to be found outside agriculture and industry, 1t is claimed by Dr. Homer P. tainey, director of the American Youth Commission, Henry Ford, on the other hand, takes an altogether opposite view. The ven. erable Detroit automobile manufac. turer believes that extraordinary meth. eds or change in the form of govern. ment are unnecessary and unwanted. He advocates increasing the produc. tion of all kinds of usable wealth this by relieving the producer from interference by governmental and fin. ancial agencies, which relief, he as- sorts, would remove the evils of un. derconsumption as well as underpro- duction, Mr. Ford says that real wages would be constantly rising and “every human being who needs employment” would find a job if, “through distribution and service,” Increased production prince ples were carried out, embellished by a boost in wages and a decrease of prices, The old adage that “youth must be served” does not apply when there are so many millions unemployed. It is only fair that the jobs available first go to family beads, and Miss Perkins reports that Industries are returning family heads to work before youths, Her theory is that the additional purchas- ing power created by the returning of the older workers to employment and the demand for goods which will result ereate still more jobs, and eventn. ally these jobs will be filled by youth. Youth Needed in Politics, If politics recognizes a fertile fleld In the youth of the country, so will that youth find a fertile field In poll tics, says Joseph C. Fennelly of Kan. sas Clty, Mo. who denounces the cor rupt political machines which are ad- mittedly operating in many localities. “No more clarion call challenges young America” he says, “than the call to save democracy, save it from politics and crime, the call to man de. mocracy. That Is the new job for youth, “We hear the call. What if we stand almost alone? What if we have no ready answer to the prophets of the ‘lames’? We know that there is some. thing free and fine in the plan of life which the men of young American young men, they were--designed for us 150 years ago. We can still belleve and work, We may ask help and be refused. But we can ask agaln; demand, if need be.” Fifty million dollars of the Presi. dent's S$4.880,000000 work-relief fund was turned over to Aubrey Williams are several, among them that youths are learning to become more skillful workers and more competent citizens when they reach maturity; that thou sands do not reach the stage where they are classed as “employables” un. til several years later than they would ordinarily; and that, with their time and their energies occupied and their security better established, youths are forgetting thelr tendencies toward crime, The National Industrial Conférence Board, of New York, has completed a survey which would indicate that youth Is benefiting from the trend in industry to shorten the working week.
