l'rcwitt Dukemlnier White Boy Is
The Preoccupied Dad
THE world often calls him the
successful man, and prints his
history In Who's Who.
He jflves Ills family everything
they need but himself. In the wild
rush of modern living he has ah-
ducted his responsibility as a Dad.
He Is a really large callbered mun
who has become wrapped up In tils
work until be almost forgets he la
a father at all.
"Perhaps whan profit is dead and
brotherhood la an established fact,
a less com martial generation will
seize th« greatest of all oppor-
tunities and fathers will concern
themselves with their sons.''
There Ir many a preoccupied fa-
ther who wakes np too late to the
fact that the "worst thing about
money Is that It often costs too
much."
Not all the homeless boys in
Amei lea live la the slurp*-

to help them discover that It is
their privilege to be more than a
Santa dans, to their owa boys.

but I never knew him," said a
