OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1922 Scene irom "No Defense" starring 'Wm, Duncan and Edith Johnson. At the Grand, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. AT THE REGENT Agnes Ayres and Jack Holt, prom- inent Paramount stars, have the featured roles in William de Mille's Paramount production, "Bought and Paid For," which will be shown Mon- day and Tuesday at the Regent theatre, The picture is based on George Broadburst"s famous play and in its picturization none of the drama of the original has been lost, Miss Ayres and Mr. Holt, in the featured roles respectively of Vir- ginia and Robert Stafford, her hus- band, were at their best, both" roles being splendidly portrayed, The comedy parts of James Gilley and Fanny Blaine, the hushand and wife who suffer for material comforts when Virginia separates from Staf- ford, are played by Walter Hiers, famous portly comedian, and Leah Wyant, Others ip the cast are George Kuwa, Bernice Frank and Ethel Wales. The picture is one of excoptional dramatic strength and is well worth seeing. As a high class production it is unsurpassed. AT THE NEW MARTIN In the picturesque, romantic story of a Pacific fishing village, "The Rowdy," which will be shown at the New Martin Theatre on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, Gladys Walton mukes a tremendous appeal to her audience in a role which gives her beauty and talent unusual .op- portunities. Miss Walton is support- ed by Jack Mower, who portrays "Black Kincaid." the regenerated sweetheart. A whimsy fate wants to take her from her fishing village and make a lady of her, aided by two misled old ladies, who think she is their sister's child. them, yet all the time her heart- strings pull, pull her back to the sea --to the homely people she knows-- to the man she won-----to love and re- newed belief in humanity through her courage. "The Rowdy," was filmed up and down the colorful west coast with genuine fisherfolk playing the at- mospheric roles, IL is startlingly different from Miss Walton's recent productions but it is anticipated by playgoers to be one in which she will have her greatest oportunity for smashing drama and sincere heart appeal, Many People Get Shades' Trees at Cost Oshawa Horticr ral Society are making great he:«.;ay im their pro- gram for this yeur.

" Parents (Continued from page 1) with ex-president Wilson, of the Un- ited States, as both having an equal wide viston of world affairs, but, he declared, Mr. Wilson lacked the horse sense and diplomacy of the British statesman, whom he describ- ed as a Godly, Christian man, and one who kept his head. The hope of success of the Genoa conference lay in Lloyd George, Addressing himself to young men as prospective fathers Dr, Barker gave some excellent advice in the matter of sex relationship which he stated must be strictly adhered to by all yoting men if the purity of the race and of family life is to be a factor in this or any country, He warned prospective fathers of the dangers of illicit relationship with women, giving some startling figures to drive home his teaching, Govern- ment statistics showed that 34 per cent of all children born blind in the United States, and 37 per cent in Canada was due to the fact that their mothers had venereal disease at the time of giving birth, It was the duty' of all young men, who were to he the fathers of the future, to control thelr sexual passions within the honds of matrimony, Responsibility to the Child A second responsibility of a father after his child was born was to teach him to obey in the home until he roheA the age of 21 vears, From personal knowledge and experience wo bedeved that the greatast danger to the United States and Canada to- day lay in the fact that parents al- low their children to grow and do as they please. President Harding, of the United States, in 2 convers:- tion with the speaker a few weeks ago, declared that one of the weak- est spots in the national life was the laxity of discipline in the home, while one of the contributing factors in making his life his success was the he'bit of his father, a physician, of insisting in obedience and family prayer at the beginning of a day. "Don't leave the bringing up of your son to your wife," Dr, Barker warn- ed, "and, remember, if you withhold discipline when your boy is young. don't be surprised if he turns out to be a lawless man in after years." Dr. Barker declared that the boys most handicapped today were not the sons of the poor but rather of wealthy, indulgent fathers. It was 4 fact that 9 out of 10 men today, holding big places in business, were the sons of 'the poor. Wealth, how- ever, was not a handicap, provided a man kept his hand on his son and demanded obedience. Purity and honesty, and not wealth, were out- | standing characteristics in a man's life. Imparting Sex Knowledges "When should a father begin the instruction on sex hygiene questions with a child?" asked Dr. Barker coming to a further responsibility of a father, Answering the question at length the speaker stated that it was the duty of every father to ex- plain to his son at the age of 5, 6 or 7 matters concerning his entry into the world. It was far better for the father to do this in the early years of his boy's life in a manner that was easy to him and comprehen- sible to his som, than to have the lad told in a vulgar way in after years. At the age of 12 or 13 he should be given further instruction regarding the care of his body and when a young man of 21 or 22, 2b- out to marry, he should he told of his duty as a father in the matter of moderation and purity in sex re- lations. It was imperative that these things should be ilnparted to young to be upheld, and children, bright and healthy, be brought into the world for the building up of a great- er mation, At the close of his address, Dr. Barker, who was introduced by Rev. J. H. McBain, was tendered a very sincere vote of thanks. The vote was moved by Principal J. G. Alt- hous ing heard Dr. Barker's addresses to high school students and the Rotary Club, as well as the one in the evening, stated that he felt that Dr. Barker had accom- plished a great mission in Oshawa, speaking on timely subjects, and that the Rotary Club in bringing him here had done a good service to the town, Prior to the address there was some eommunity singing, led by Ro- tarian Geo. W. Henley, with Town Engineer Smith at the organ. Clean Girlhood. In the afternoon, to an audience of mothers and High School girls who packed the Church Auditorium and gallery, Dr. Barker, a most illum- inating and worth-while lecture. Mrs. McLaughlin, the local Council of women introduced the speaker, and in her remarks thanked the Rotary Club for bringing such an able speaker to Oshawa and giving the mothers and daughters of Oshawa such an opportunity. Dr. Barker dealt with a subject that should be put before every daughter and mother in Canada, that of "Clean Girlhood and worth-while Motherhood." Dr. Barker said that the most important work that any human 'being can be engaged in, is that of ushering a human being in- 10 this world, and training that child up to fine womanhood and fine man- hood. The idea thesp days of the average girl is to have a good time, dress in such a manner as to attract the attention of men, marry some day a man with money who can give her a fine home, a chauffer, whist , ete. And then children do come into the idea, unless pos- sibiy one or at best two. And if there are chidren turn them over to a nurse and governess, anything mot to be bothered with them. Dr. Barker went on tp say, "Probably this statement is exaggerated for Canada, I do mot know conditions here, but it is mot exaggerated for my country, The United States.

The idea is so often | promulgated these days that to! punish a child is to destroy its indi-| viduality and break down its willl power. I tell you plainly that the child that has not learned to sub- | jugate its will to the will of others, | will never develop into a worth-| while citizen, or have an individu- | ality. Dr. Barker said, "I pity the girl who has not learned to obey. | The world will some day make her | pay that penalty.

Dr. Barker then gave a demonstration of a mother talking to her daughter. | First she explains the growth of the! flower, then the little birds, and | last of all the development of the wee baby in its little nest under the | heart of the mother. She explains | the part that the mother plays and | what she gives up for that tiny life and the part that Daddy plays in providing the money. Ex-President Elliot of Harvard University says hat this silence on scx matters, has | been the most disasterous thing in| our nation. | Dr. Barker said, "The next re-| sponsibility that mothers have, as, soon as a girl is old enough to go to parties with boys, is to impress upon her the danger of allowing boys and young men to get fresh with her. Spooning is one of the worst curses 10 young people and a source of greatest danger to girls from 14-18. Every case where a girl gets into more serious difficulties, the allowing of fondling and kissing was the be- ginning. Girls are not to blame if their mothers have not told them. But a girl is to blame when she has been told. Girls have the idea that they must allow familiarities, in or- der to be popular with the boss. | Girls, the moment you allow a man or boy to become familiar with you before he bas the right as your in- tended husband, he loses his respect for you. And boys should be just as straight as girls in this respect. There was a day when even phy- sicians believed in the double stan- dard. but no reputable doctor to-day upholds the double standard for our young people" Dr. Barker then outlined four reasons why the morals of our young | people to-day are the lowest they have ever been in Civilization. Be Frank and Clear (1) Mothers and fathers allowing girls uner 18 to go motoring after dark with boys or men. Motoring at night is one of the greatest traps to our girl-hood, not properly <hap- eroned. Dr. Barker said, "What are you mothers thinking of, to allow a girl under 18 to go motoring far from the city, with a 'boy or even in parties if that party is not chap- eroned." (2) The allowing of sex movie films is another cause. There our young people see women half dressed doing the very kissing and spooning that we condemn, allowing famil- iarities from other women's husbands. Do not blame our movie managers, they put on the piccure that you de- mand. A movie house cannot keep going if it puts on something whole- some all the time and leaves out the sex stuff. The only way to remove to 'question was asked of the girls ir this menace, is for our people who want better things to refuse to go to see such stuff and the manager will then give you what you want for he would then be in a position to make the clean stuff pay. But the experience has been that every one goes Learing off if there is something that they can class as dreadful. (3) "The principle cause of this lowering of morals," said Dr. Barker, "is the modern dance, If you women had gone into a ball-room 20 years ago and had seen what you can see on any dance floor now, you would have hung your head in shame. The position in which people dance in these days excites the worst there is in a man, be he ever so respectable, There is nothing more beautiful than the old style of dancing, the Virginia Reel, the Minuet, any of those are heautiful, but it is this modern jazz and the position of the dance that is ruining our young people. It is not only our young people. I have seen Rotarian dances, in which the wives of our Rotarians danced the same You may say, Everybody does if, we know it is wrong but what can we do? Have you forgotten that there is a (od, and that one day you will stand at the seat of judgment? Have you forgotten that, when you say, Every- body does it? At this point Dr. Barker asked the mothers who filled the centre of the Church, "Will those that know that our young people dance in @ disgraceful fashion, hugged close to gether, please hold up their hands?" 20 hands were raised. The same thn gallery. Every hand went up Turning to the women, Dr. Barke: said, "What do you think of that' Tun't it time you mothers found what is going on?' A voice "Trom the back said almost inaudibly a it this point, "Well that is a disgrace for the High School teachers!" Why the High School teachers? Do they have to take the respongibility of the parents on their shoulders as well as their own? (4) The next cause, said Dr Barker, is women's dress, Women will have to dress more decently if the morals of our young men are to be raised. How can you expect a man to have clean thoughts if our girls are going around inadequately dressed?" Dr. Barker made a plea to those girls who intended to be stenographers to be careful as to the decency of their dress. WIFIE TO THE RESCUE London Opinion: Young Doctor-- By Jove!
