Trouble, Taussig Says.
CLEVELAND. April 25 UP).—Charles
William Taussig, advisory chairman of
the National Youth Administration,
warned a civic forum here today that
"5.000,000 idle youth spells trouble.”

long endure that fails to make it pos
sible for its youth to earn a living.
"When we were young we were
taught that thrift and virtue brought
success. Today it would be fool
hardy to dare speak thus, to unem
ployed youth. Hard work) Yes. but
where? Thrift? Yes. but with what?"
Taussig urged that education be
given all the facts about government
including the whole sordid story of
the spoils system, ward heelers, lob
bies and corruption.

END ALL
COMPROMISE
We believe it is true that most ambi
tious Americans have a desire to
own and drive a distinguished auto
mobile—for it is a perfectly human
aspiration. And now—with the
introduction of the new Cadillac
V-8* Series 60—the finest of motor
cars is well within the means of the
average progressive family. In fact,
the time has unquestionably come
. to end all compromise and drive a
Cadillac—-for the V-8, Series 60, is
priced as low as $1645, at Detroit.
May we arrange a demonstration?

Whether or not your home was built with
the best wood shingles, clapboard or stucco,
it must eventually need new attention. Wooden
sidings require periodic staining or painting;
stucco often cracks and even falls off if allowed
to go too long without most careful attention.
Before your house reaches the “costly repair’*
stage it'is best to have a competent inspection
made. Probably at little expense it can be con
verted to an even better home than it is now be
cause ETERNIT long-life sidings, applied right
over old sidewalls, eliminate continual house
painting bills. With the extra insulation of a
double siding your home stays cooler in the
Summer and warmer in the Winter, with a sav
ing of fuel as well. We suggest that you have
our estimator call and show you samples be
fore you make a definite decision. There will
be no obligation attached to his call.
