HERE'S A CURE FOR ENNUI

By Kathleen Norris

"The tragedy of women of my type is that they have nothing to do,"

It will be less comfortable than the sheltered side, but a good breeze `kas o stimulating effect.

On that side, too, you will avold the upsetting smell of fumes in oli burning cross-Channel boats. The

Hundreds and thousands? Yes, and perhaps there are millions like her. Women who aren't workinį in shops or offices, who aren't professional workers, who aren't so poor that the unlovely struggle to keep food in their children's stomachs, clothes on their children's backa, roots over their chil-

dren's heads, absorbs every instant of their working and waking hours.

These fdle women, live in hotels, boarding houses, apartments, and sometimes in their own homes.

Their domestic duties are shared, if they are housekeeping, by a Part-time or all-time muld,

Breakfast is out of the way at nine; the man of the family doesn't come home to lunch.

Tonsil Trouble

By Family Doctor

A

And all about them, all the time, are a thousand things to do, a thousand wrongs crying out to be righted, a thousand hours of pain asking to be soothed, a thousand hearts and souls in darkness longing for the light. On my desk, as I write this, lies an invitation that ought to be ac- cepted by one million women. If it were, we would have a different world, and a better world, to-morrow.

Most of them will never see 11, they'll never understand the chance offered them, these idle women, because to them it will sound dull; Just one more of those stupidly reforming, resolutely helpful things that are

so baresome.

But I can assure the occasional woman who WILL follow up this lend that her leisure time, her ennui, her fretted sense of idleness and useless- ness will vanish forever.

The letter is from Harold II. Townsend, of 2523 Graciosa Drive, Los Angeles, California. The printed name of the letterhead is "The Junior American Republic."

Who Mr. Townsend is I don't know. I never heard his name before, But through his letter and the booklet enclosed in it I gather he is at the head of plan create

American youth movement; a great dream by which hundreds of thousands of boys may be restored to their rightful heritage of food first, and then education, and, perhaps after that, honest ambition and the means to realize it.

• Boys and girls are our only riches; the world will be theirs to help or to wreck in a few years. And in all our great cllles armies of them are growing up feeling that they have been socially and economically for- gotten. They are growing to misuse political powers without ever having learned how to control them, or what à code is, or what national Idenis are.

Now, what are we going to do about it, and what can we do? Well, the workers for the Junior American Republic want to buy an island off the coast of southern California. They can raise there, in orchards, fields, poultry runs and cattle yards, fisheries and plggeries, enough food for all the boys all the time. The island consists of sixty thousands magnificent acres. It is proposed to establish a republic there; a young republic where clilzens, will be made,
