Mussolini even d ecr eed before Christmas that no one send lum Christ­mas gifts or greet inl(s; Mussolini demands t hat half the music played in Italy,-conccrt, movie, or dance mus ic-must be Italian. . .

Now El Duce is no fool. The argu ment adduced that officer s Ill

uniform seen clancin" the Black Bottom lower army mora le is mani­·frst. It should be notked t hat the. decr ee docs not prohibit the dance fol' officers not in 11ni fo1·m. Italy has too many holidays. Everyone knows it, but Mussolini a lone·has t he nr!'ve to cut some out. Italy will be ~tron"Cl' with fe\\'e r holidays and mo1·c work days. nifts and greet­in<>s arc tomfoolery to i\ [ussolini. He is above th em. Besides, it may be th~t he knows \\'hat the \l·ould-he gift senders think of him anyhow. Italian music is not so bad . A great deal of it is the finest the world has ever heard. and certain ly as good as "Blue H eaven".

So there you are. The on ly thing ,vrong is that it is no t custom­~l'y. " Why you can 't tell fo lk what they ·hould do and what they shouldn't", eYeryone ye lrs. " That is tyl'anny, and tyrants have fai led in th is world . But Mussolini dot's it anyway-Italy prospers, and the rest of the ll'Ol'ld 11·atches the bad boy.

FLAMING YOUTH-A CHALLENGE Where flam ing youth f·omes i' l'om. whel'e this branch of H omo sa­

piens gets its start, has been an interesting subject for many to write about, many more to talk about, and almost everyone to think about. \\'hethel' fo r better or fo r 11·orse, it is an interesting subject indeed, (·rammed full of excellent opportu nit ies for mud-throwing.

Th e mies for mud-throwing being \' ery simple, and the -exercise pleasant , th e c ity and country haYe been busily engaged in taking pot-spots at each other. Ont here in what is generally ca ll ed t he coun­try ( in th e c ity ) 11·e han s lept eas ily in the assurance, wh ich we con­sidf' red \\' ell rou nded , that the city was pretty ll' ell bespatter ed, and oH rs,•h·es dainty and ll'hit e.

Th ~ ei t,·. on the other hand. srems to have no. g reat liki ng for the e1·pcl i1 of r ,i'ising "flames", and seems to have a few good tricks still.

Judge Joseph· I,. ~l cCarthy of the Morals Court of Chicago was quot,·d in th e I lera ld and l·:xaminer as ha Ying sa id ·t ha t the gay young do~ rrom \Vayb>1ck. new l.v en,·ased in T<l assy K oll ege !Clothes, a nd ; hirstin" fo r adventure, together with the flapper from Main Stree t, tired of the pleasures of gum-chell' in g, and flivvcr riding in the moon­light-these are the ch ie f compoiwnts of Chicago's so-ca lled f laming youth. :,.iot the young fo lks from the . 10 1· th, South, or W est S ide~. No! lt 's the rah-rnh young ones from \\' ayback and Main Streets.

'·Of course", says th e judge, " l 'm not saying t hat Chi cago's own hoys and g irl s clo not" go in fo1 · wild parti es, gin drinking bouts and tht· cheape 1· dance ha ll s ll'here petting is in vogue, but a su ,·pris ingly lar:;re number oft he cas<•s that come before me a re of men a nd women r ,·cPntlv a1-rived from the country or from li ttle towns. "

TJ{e sad part or the whole sto1·y is that the wo1·thy judge is in a hrmuiful pos ition to kno11· ! .

HnwPY(• r', thr jud:,!e g-ivc-s us hope. " Tt won't he Jong now," he insists. "unt il the gin-fed l'hif·ken ,vith he,· lax moral cod e is only a dim memory. To quote from her ow n vrry limited voca bulary, she's clul' for a fall right now." ·

:,.iow dea r fe llow students, here \\'C have a brand-n ew challenge. (Th e r hall!'nges an• comi ng thick and fast these days. ) This challenge is tll'O eha ll ,• nges. Two ·hallen[!es: one an old one; one a n ew· one. The old one is that old st(')'iotyped, mimeographed, spoken and r e-spoken, printed and reprint ed F'LAJ\fl NG YO UTH.

No friends. ll'C a re not! Far be it from us to allow the ur­banite to pa;s this \\'Olf in sheep's clothing to us, to our peril! No! let us stand ready-and pass it right back to him.
