.ProfAnity . - •
Just what does the word
profanity means? To me it
means. ‘ thb fewest, dirtest,
kind of language-that a per-
.son’ can speak. It shows the.
kind of’ stuff that a boy is
made of. When boys use pro-
fane language to sound big,
or .to attiacf attgntioif, JLhey
are just kidding themselves
into thinking that the^a are
bold, virile men.
The i|uiekest way to loose
a real friend is to try to ad
big by using profane lan-
guage. . . ------ - ”
Dr. George W. Crane, noted
psychologist of Northwestern
University, tells why some
boys use profane or foul lan-
guage. Herfe is' the- scientific
explanation. ■
-"People who have inferior-
ity complexes and are afraid
are likely to adopt profanity.
Those who use .profanity are
people who are afraid of
themselves. They adopt loud
and violent language to kid
themselves along, go to speak
and delude * themselves into

The most interesting trip

Gallic does not intend to go

Then she wants to travel. Lois,
her sister, is not going to tra-

If Caliie travels we believe
Lois will travel—-if Lois cooks
and sews we believe Caliie
will do the same. .
Caliie does -not . want to
