SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1930 MODERN YOUTH They smoke, they drink, they teh dirty jokes. They dance to junk music, and they scuff at convention. They don't call a spade a "brunette innertime," and they aren't afraid to tell what they think whenever they do think. They are "fanning youth." Some parents sweep over them and a good many swat at them. Some older people condemn them to eternal perdition, and others manage to see faint light around their heads which might some day develop into haloes. They get a lot of publicity, some true, some exaggerated, and some understated. Flaming youth is a real, live product of 1850, but it only flames on weekend evenings in college towns, in night clubs, and up and down the "Broadways" of American cities. Flaming youth makes the tabbids and the movie magazines, and people shake their beads and feel sure that the world is going to the dogs. But flaming youth is only part of modern youth. There are young men and women who are thinking more about religion, politics, sociology and economics than they ever did before. There are great minds and fine ideals in modern youth. Flaming youth may flame, but modern youth is taking for its standard the "high white star of truth." Truth about social institutions, about economics, about science is their earnest concern. If in their search for truth, for honesty and frankness, they are attracted to worthless things, they are not condemned to worthlessness forever. GIVE THE PROFS A CHANCE Farmers of America have been waiting for each new development in the wheat situation as the Grain Stabilization corporation, financed by government funds, struggles desperately to maintain American prices in the face of rapidly falling world markets. The results of the corporation in efforts than far have been nothing short of phenomenal, since the price of wheat at Chicago is 3 cents above the Liverpool market when under normal conditions it would be 15 or 20 cents below. The government is frankly in business on behalf of the farmer, having already invested approximately $100,000,000 in wheat, both cash and futures. For once the millers are not raising any objections to the operations of the Farm Board, since they must fill orders for flour requiring about a hundred million buillets of wheat for which most of them have already contracted at the prices prevailing before the slump. In the general constervation attending the collapse of the world markets, interested persons as usual have looked only at the temporary results; they have given little thought to the economic devices involved which will in large measure determine results in the future. What will the government do with the wheat it owns, now in excess of one hundred million bushels? Can the government continue to bolster the domestic price artificially in the face of increasing world production? Russia, for example, is producing at nearly the pre-war rate, and her large sales of wheat have been the principal factor in the collapse of the world markets. Already numerous grain men are pointing to a breakdown of the Russian government as the only means of returning the markets to a profitable basis. But permanent economic stability can never be built on the misfortunes of any large factor in the economic system. The whole problem hinges more or less on the desire of the people on the western hemisphere to maintain a standard of living above that of the eastern half of the world. Whether such a condition is permanently desirable is doubtful, whether it is possible is even more doubtful. As long as man was limited in his contacts by natural boundaries over which he had no control, each isolated unit could maintain a standard of living all its own, but, except for artificial boundaries, the world has become essentially an economic unit. The hazards and restrictions of natural boundaries have become practically nil. The time has come when we must arouse ourselves to the difficulty and perhaps impossibility of maintaining a separate standard of living by strictly artificial methods. Perhaps we shall find that our economic destiny should be placed in the hands of the derided economist and taken from the politician who has held before his public a Europa bored on economic fallacies. POLLY FINDS A PAL Who could blame a red-breasted parrot for acquiring a colorful vocabulary if he had to live in a brewing center like St. Louis during probation times, listen to the conversation of visitors from the waterfront, and watch the Cardinals take an ignomious beating in the world series? But notwithstanding these mitigating considerations, the keeper of the 200 decided that a mule-driven's language could not be tolerated within his domain, and the fiery-thatched parrot was forced to abdicate his roost. Somewhat damned by the necessity of beginning life anew in his declining years, he saidly made arrangements for his departure. But his hopes were revived when the latent spirit of brotherliness in the human breast, in which he had lost all confidence, suddenly received at the story of his pitiful blight. The Pi Kappa Alpha boys at the Bella School of Mines offered him a home. They said they needed a companion who was both entertaining and instruction. But the parrot was saved from the doofful sympathy of the Pi K A boys by the St. Louis Post-Ridge, which pointed out that even if the parrot had the vocabulary of a mule-driver and a marine combined, he could probably teach them notilling. Then an old lady from Canada, fired by the spirit of General William Booth, vowed to devote the remainder of her life to flying and his wings for celestial flights. He decided, however, that he had got quite a kick out of life as it was and didn't see any necessity for spelling what was left of it for him by worrying about a religious future. After carefully considering the 619 homes offered to him, the parrot finally accepted an offer for $140 from a man in New York. Amid the bright lights of Broadway, the companionship of a man who appreciates his view of life, and the hustle and brittle of the world's intercourse, the parrot will live out the sequester to a rather drab existence in a St. Louis zoo. "Shooting a mob scene in a movie" would be the California's verdict. The wise old Jayhawk, however, just flapped his wings and shaking with guffaws and chuckles he crowed, "You're both wrong! This is Hobo day." HOBO DAY "Ah ha! A Revolution!" the foreign visitor would say. When the whistle for 8:30 clauses blow Friday it sounded no different from other days. But the group that made its way toward the Hill did not resemble the usual run of students. Some looked old and bent, many were in rags and tatars, and others were dressed in extremely peculiar looking attire. The poor creatures huddled around fires in an attempt to keep warm. For some reason they were in high spirits and without the slightest notice would break into wild yells. Then they would gather around in groups and make noises all together.

Snow by Clinton Young It was a cold morning in January, Snow had fallen again during the night, and now the sun that rose over the snow covered no blimmish in the white surface. Only near the hills, where a few bold rocks projected, the warren has augmented to blackness. In the yellow snow, the leaves of the wind, sweeping along, seemed at home in this huge grave. Even it missed something here; for, finding no dry vegetation to torment it, caught fire. It burned ghosts that here in their home dared charge by day. Their voice was the only sound in the marble solitude. Notice there was none, save for that of the snow; and it added by contrast to the white In time, however, there rose over the encrassments a tiny speech that floated in circles. Nearer it came, till at last, still very small, it wheeled above the surface of water. And sign that this place was any import to it. Indeed, this was only one of many such depressions that the speck had visited today in the broad plain that stretches across its white expanse as to an infinite distance, a shroud upon the earth. Only the ghosts moved below till, utter in a full of the wind, they twisted around in a living thing could be invading that land. The mountains and hillside, a wrigling moss had appeared between two rocks. It had remained there, disembodied, for several minutes. There now advanced, slowly and cautiously, a rabbit. It made a few bops as it to stretch cramped muscles. The rabbit, roar it up, roar it up and once more surveyed the landscape flashing in the sunlight. Then, satisfied it hopped down to the roof, it rose up and once more covered a few dead wet patches of grass. Well out from the rocks, it selected a spot and began to burrow. The rabbit made a frowned lunge, and the hawk swept past with a screen. It came back, doggie after doggie. The rabbit made a frighte Miss Haze Lewis of New York knows the field in which women have the best chance for recognition, and the qualifications which different kinds of work demand. Her advice is expert and valuable. She will arrange for a personal conference with any woman who wants advice on any vocational question. It is an opportunity of which University women should take advantage. Because the choice among the many positions open to women is so difficult, the W. S. G. A. has arranged for a vocational expert to be at the University Dec. 2, 3, and 4. The kind of work she chooses for specialization and her success in her profession will be important factors in determining her future happiness. Even if the works as a wage earner for only a few years, success may make her a poised and interesting person where she can leave her neurotic and dissatisfied.

The volley was shaded by flames, and a murder of the ghosts with the wind. Only in one piece was the white floor covered. A regular meeting of Sigma P1 Piigma will be held Monday, Nov. 24 at 4 oclock, in room 21 Administration Building. Dr. W. B. Deblis will be in attendance. Through the day, clouds gathered and hastened the coming of the blue-grey night. More snow fell, the clouds passed through the valley. Through the valley. Toward dawn, however; it fell; and the ghosts moved only a little as the sun rose over the hills. A few rocks were a few rocks denied the blankness of the white floor. White and screne and alcox as a maumeau塘, the valley lay below. The rocks were the only bllemishes on the face of the white plains that stretched away to the southwest. And covered the earth like a abroud.
