Juvenile Leagues Flourish
"Bring Only Bolsheviki,"
Youthful Leaders Say in
Planning an O u t i n g
The Socialist Sunday schools are be?
ginning to .close their doors. Unwel
come publicity apparently has made it
advisable to cease operations for the
Bummer months. Several have dis
banded entirely. The school at 4215
Third Avenue, within a stone's throw
of the Bronx Municipal Buildings,
closed down a week ago and the other
three in The Bronx soon will follow
suit.
Tho "Ypsl" (Young People's Social?
ist League") yesterday took possession
at 4215 Third Avenue. There is little
difference between this organization
and the Sunday schools which preceded
it, except that a child has to be thir
teen years old before he can became an
"Ypsl." Unadulterated Socialism is
taught in these league9, which are
growing up like mushrooms all over
the city.
Thi cmldren of the Sunday schools
who have reached the proper age are
urgod to become members. It is the
intermediary stage between primary in
struction in the tenets or" Socialism
and full-fledged devotion to the cause.
Seif-Avowed Socialists
The boys and girls are assumed to
have reached the stage where they are
self-avowed Socialists without any
"pressure or bias having been brought !
to bear to achieve this end." They are !
accepted into tho "great brotherhood of '
man." Their organization is patterned J
exactly after tha'. of the adult Social- \
ists. They elect local delegates and j
county delegates. Tho latter attend
mass conferences of "Ypsl" leaders for
mutunl exchange purposes.
The movement has been fathered
largely by Benjamin Glassberg, the
public school teacher on trial before
the Board of Education for alleged un
patriotic utterances, and director of
the largest and most flourishing of the
Socialist Sunday schools. Every Sun?
day he direrts proceedings at the Sun
day school held in the Labor Lyccum,
Brownsville.
Tho Tribune reporter entcred upon
the seene of a "Ypsl" organization at
4215 Third Avenue yesterday morning.
Tho object of the vislt was surmisod
immediately.
"Bring Bolsheviki Only"
In making plan* for an outdoor ex
pedition next Sunday the fifteen-year
old chairman of tho meeting said:
"Don't bring any but Socialist chil
drcn along with you next Sunday. We
don't want to be made fun of. and, any
way. we want only our own."
"That's right," added the equally
juvenile treasurer. "Bring vnly the
Bolsheviki along."
And thereupon he reversed the lapel
of his coat and rcvealcd a tiny red
I ribbon bow.
"That's my Bolshevik badge," he re
; marked proudly.
| The boy officers conducted the meet
| mg skillfully, if Eomewhat noisily,
! while the adult dircctor of the league
I held the reins lightly and interfered
as little as possible. They all are
"comrades" to one another and are be?
ing specially trained in organization
and platform work, so that they may be
future Socialistic leaders. They are
ardent young propagandista and talk
j with great gravity of tho importanco
of having a sound organization and
building up their league.
Call World League a Farce
Yesterday they still were full of the
previous Sunday's lesson, which had
been about the league of nations. They
referred to the league as a "farce."
! It pretended to be democratic, but there
was no democracy about it. It was a
monopoly of power. They candidlv
confessed that they had been imbib
mg Lemne doctrine.? in the Si.iday
school which had just closed, and that
/ hud becn "in?in? the rebe! songs
At the close of the meeting the chil
dren were j;iven copies of "The Work
er's World" to distribute in different
neighborhoods. They are to do this
every Sunday henceforth.
"The Worker's World" is a new So
ciahst organ, published bv tho Work?
ers Intcrnational Information Group
and tho following are samples of the
gospel these boys and girls are en
couraged and exfected to spread:

MISS R. C. FREEMAN
Woman Builds Career
As Painter of Trees
Racia Wood Freeman Has
Unique Idea of Depicting
Huraan Qualities
Some women devote their lives to
babies and some to votes, but Racia
Wood Freeman has built up a career
on trees.
Finding the qualities of human be
mgs in trees and painting them on
canvas is her specialty. Therefore,
when she wanted to paint a picture
which would tell the storv of tho war
and show the regard slio feels for
President Wilson she did it with trees.
Her painting "The League of Na?
tions" has been on exhibition during
tho Victory Loan drivo in Best's win
dow and is to be presented to Presi?
dent Wilson as soon as hc returns from
Europe.
"In the c; , is a great, strong
tree representi; President Wilson,"
said Mrs. Freeman at her studio in the
Madison Square Iiotel yestcrday. "Tho
four smaller trees at the left are the
'Big Four'?the oak for England, the
weeping willow for France, the pine
for Italy and the dwarf tir for Japan.
Nestling at their feet is little Belgium,
the land of flowering trees. Germany
is the tree torn up by the roots. The
sun breaking through the clouds is the
league of nations, with its promise of
peace for all the earth."
Mrs. Freeman has achieved success
in spite of many odds. Left a widow
with a young son, although she had
had no art training she determined to
make her love of trees the foundation
of a career. She completed eighteen
canvases in her first year.

Formal dedication of Victory trees,

ment in Bedford Avenue from the
fountain in the Eastern District to its
junction with Flatbush Avenue, took

Firestone Reduces
Tire Prices for Car Owners
and Truck Owners
The rubber supply has become readjusted and
stabilized. A general reduction in tire prices is
bound to come. There should be no delay aboiit
this?and the drop in prices should be a decided
drop, particularly on truck tires.
Firestone Prices Are
Down Now?Effective Today
Be Guided in Your Tire Buying Accordingly
Because never before have Fire?
stone Tires been so decidedly better
than others as they now are.
Car owners from coast to coast for
the past year have taken their hats off
to Firestone over the improved Gray
Sidewall Fabric Tire.
And the latest Firestone Cord, built
to the new standard over size, with ex
rra heavy non-skid tread, is upsetting
all records made by any other tire of
any type.
As for truck tires?the fact that
over half the truck tonnage of Amer?
ica is carried on Firestones proves un
questioned superiority in that line.
So, whether. you want tires for your
passenger car or your trucks, call up
the Firestone dealer and get set right
on prices*
The new prices give greater assur
ance than ever that Firestone means?
Most Miles Per Dollar.

"First Aid" for
Sensitive Teeth
and Bleeding Gums
"O ONE appreciates tiie importance
of beautiful white teeth more than a
woman. But sound, serviceable teeth
are more important still,
In sickness, in maternity, in nervous and rheu
matic diseases the eth and gums are often affected.
The tooth brush becomes painful to use. As a ''firs't
aid," discontinue the brush for a few days and apply
Albodon to the gums with the fingers. \Yhen the sensi
tiveness or bleeding has stopped, resuine the tooth brush.
Famihes with returned soldiers
and sailors know what myalgia or
''trench fever'' is. The teeth are
loose,the gums spongy and bleed?
ing. In these eases, many den
tists are advtsing the use of
Albodon Dental Cream as a
massage with the finger. This
is especially impcrtant the last
thing at night. Do not immedi
ately af terwards rinse the mouth.
In that way the Cream
will stay on and act as a
soothing and stimulating
film on the teeth and
during sleep.
All dentists know the exact formula
of Albodon and have no hesitation
in recommending its use. It cleans
the teeth to natural whiteness; it
soothes and stimulates the gums.
