PAGE FOUR CHILDREN LEARNING POLITICS FROM ‘YIPSEL’ BANDS 70USG SOCIALISTS CALLFD YIPSELS' Dffl IHffPE 'REDS' Fanny Weren, 14, is One of Young Lecturers Aiding To I Promote Movement I BY ALEX. HERMAN NEA Service Staff Writer NE WYORK. Jan 7.—Close to 8000 children in the United States are giving up part of their Sundays and hours of play alter school to take up a serious study of politics and social organiza tion. They are youngsters ranging in age from six vears up. who be belong to the "Yipsels —Young Peoples' Socialist League, its tun ior organization, and its Sunday schools, branches of which exist in Cleveland Akron and Tole do, O.; Chicago. 111.: Milwaukee, Wis • St. Louis. Mo.; New York. Albany. Buffalo and Rochester, J N. Y.: Philadelphia and Read- < ing- Pa-: Newark and Camden, 1 1 N. L: Baltimore, Md.; Boston. Quincy Worcester, and six other cities in Massachusetts; Newport. ; J N. H-: Ludlow. Vt.; Los Ange J les and San Francisco. Cal. I Members of the National •, tv League brand the work of these I groups as "red;” but the f -Yipsels” go them one better. “We are not only red, .but white ■ g and blue, too.” says Miss I' anme. Weren, one of the most active, s junior workers in New A ork. s c is 14 years old now, but began c her studies with the Sunday school y group when she was six years old. a “We learn to be real Americans, a she adds, ‘with a thorough ground ing in civics, politics and socaal t problems. We are able to think un- c derstandingly about those subjects a which, to so many young persons —1 and old ones, too, I guess—seem c so dry.” When Fannie was eight years j old, she heard her mother complain j about the rising cost of sugar. She heard her father discuss the en trance of the United States into q the war. v So one day she began to lecture v to her friends about it. They told j. her to hire a hall. She couldn't do that, but he did get a soap box —• t And delivered a street corner ad- v dress before a crowd of several c hundred grown-ups! “Because some children take a t RED PEPPER FOR COLDS IN CHEST - J Ease your tight, aching chest. Stop the pain. Break up the congestion. Feel a bad cold loosen up in just a short time. Red Pepper Rub is the cold rem edy that brings quickest relief. It can not hurt you and it certainly seems to end the tightness and drive the conges tion and soreness right out. Nothing has such concentrated, pene trating heat as red peppers, and when heat penetrates right down into colds, congestion, aching muscles and sore, stiff joints relief comes at once. The moment you apply Red Pepper Rub you feel the tingling heat. In three minutes the congested spot is warmed through and through. When you are suffering from a cold, rheumatism, backache, stiff neck or sore muscles, just get a jar of Rowles Red Pepper Rub, made from red peppers, at any drug store. You will have the quickest relief known. BE PRETTY! TURN ” GRAY HAIR DARK Try Grandmother's Old Favorite Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com pounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and trouble some. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sul phur Compound,” you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe, im proved by the addition of other in gredients, at a small cost. * Don’t stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge dr soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disap pears. and after another application or two, vyour hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and attaactive. $ FOR SALE - Old newspapers.

In his pocket is a bit of revolutionary song and a card of some radical group. The youngster is arrested, his mother reprimanded by the court, and a cry of a new menace sweeps the country. “Yet there really is nothing to get excited about.” In the Young People Sunday schools which meet in most of the cities where the organization has centers, school children from six years up are entertained with songs and stories, are taken for walks' and visits to points o:f interest. I “They are allowed to ask ques-, tions,” explains Morris Novik, head of the league in New York, “and are given the simplest answers. There is no attempt to foist politi-f cal views on them. “When they become a little older, 13 or i 4, they are admitted to the | junior groups of the league. Here they meet ngluarly to discuss sim ple problems of politics and civis. They learn where the clothes they wear come from; they are helped with those problems which the find hard in school. ! “It is only when they get into ■ the senior group, fiom 17 years and i up, that they get a detailed study of political philosophy. “Perhaps one out of every four! children that start in the junior! group later becomes a member of i the so-called radical parties. “But all of them get a more thorough slant on the issues of po litical life, a more serious discus sion of which might make us all citizens.” Novik himself is only 21.

The ques tion in controversy has over-reacti ed the boundaries and powers of any one diocese, and the issue is one which must be met and must be settled one way r or the other, by the mind of the whole church.” Bishop Moore declared to consent to further proceedings in Rev. Hea ton’s case, saying he was unwilling to proceed “in view of the fact that I that similar interpretations of the ’ doctrine in question are held, taught and preached by those in this church belonging to a higher order I of the ministry than the parly charged.” He said the matter should rest until opportunity may be given those in authority to pro ceed and point out the course of wisdom and justice in such matters.’ Florence (Ala.) man fell 110 feet.
