They need advice, they need sympathy, they need some indication that somebody cares. But often these indications are never apparent. The hard world passes by unlheeding, intent on its whirl of business and social engage- m-enlts. yet there is a lot of friendship ‘in the world, and there are hundreds who would willingly be of service to others if they knew how. Many living under better conditions are caught in the tide and drasrzed down by the bad influences always swelling the stream. Who is to blame? What is responsible for these deplor- alble conditions? Is it the high cost of living? Is it overcrowding? Is it a. manila for expensive clothes? Is it a combination of circumstances em- bodied in the rush and turmoil of modern life?

By standing in a back room of one of the half dozen or so villas- that overlook the manor house garden one could watch a blue-shined, belted figure bent to the task of lawn mowing, oc- casionally stopping to wipe a glisten- ing face with a'blue handkerchief. That was the Prince of Wales getting fit for India. One heard the clatter of the machine every morning and most afternoons. There was no doubt about his talking the job seriously. during his recent seaside vacation, which unexpectedly afforded me‘ an op- porrtunlty of studying his habits. Re- leased from the cares of state, he went down to Brighton, the metropolis of the south coast, where, in a quaint and quiet old Georgian manor house, he found welcome freedom from the worries incidental tg the solemn busi- ness of understudying a king. In_ answer, I would say that cow’s milk is better than condensed milk, provided the milk is free fnom tub- ercle {bacilli and other germs. The milk must also be fresh and clean.

Literature is being provided for parents to teach children at graded ages the lessons of life and self. as well as thoroughly intelligent circu- lars pointing out the dangers coni- frontimg those who step from the path of virtue. The home, the school, the church, the Salvation Army, the R0- tary Clubs, and citizens committees are all rolling up their sleeves to get into the fray and try to drive this so- cial menace from the country. The program to this end is as complex as life itself. The Council has prepared itself to grapple with the large aspects of the social problem by adopting this new name and discarding the old and lonvg-d‘nawn-out title of “National Council for Combating Ven-ereal Dis- ease." This is a good move. It shows at once lith the Councilâ€"resolute men and women, physicians and lay- menâ€"have grasped the realities re- garding this social scourge, aml are planning to attack the causes and in- fluences that lead to immorality, as well as point out the awful conse- quences of the-diseases, once they have been contracted. dard of life. But there are thousands of young people who never seem to come in contact with these. They drift along alone, and to all intents and purposes “nobody cares" what kind of life they lead or what be- comes of them. In many cases the laxity of morals among men and wo- men leads to disease and this brings the awful resultâ€"moral lepers, a danger to the community and 8 [our- den to themselves. At the venereal disease clinics in one of the hospitals in a large city in this province it was found that the large majority of vic- tirms off the disease are men and wo- men who have no home or who are away from home, and that pnacti'calily none of them are church goers or otherwise anchored in the community. The non-supervised dance hall at present is one of the greatest evils to be overcome. The newly formed So- cial Hygiene Council of Toronto is taking this matter as well as other matters of equal importance. in hand. It has a big and a praiseworthy task ahead of it.

Following lunch came another spell of mowing, and then a series of games of clock golf, of which the Prince never tired.

The result of my quizzing has left me with the distinct and possibly- szitisfying impression that here is a. young man who, having found that the Fates have cheated him of the ordin- ary young man's heritage, has, never theless, resolved to face his destiny cheerfully and dutiful-1y.

Ex- cept for a sun-tanned young man in a blue shirt, open at the throat, leaning over some rusty railings close to the road, and some urchins playing noisily on the pavement, the scene was de- serted. In fact, from the business point of view a, worse pitch for a street musician could hardly be found. Britain’s Young Man has, it seems, a lively interest in music. He can play the piano moderately well, but is a better audience than executan‘t. Even street music interests him, as witness the following: yards each time.

A favorite evening diversion was a walk along the promenade, when the best known young man in Europe mingled as freely with his father’s subjects as any holiday making clerk or shop assistant. Outside the grounds- of the house he enjoyed, nam- doxicallly enough, his greatest freedom among the crowds that packed the promenade and piers, where no one would have mistaken him for any one but an ordinary holiday making young man, enjoying the heat and the crush and his solitude, particulllai‘ly his soli- tude, to the full. Bedtime was rarely after 11 o’clock, the hour before which was mostly passed in listening to the gramophone.
