Perhaps somebody was wearing a straw hat in Springfield today, the opening day of the season, but an inquiring reporter who hunted through the shopping area was unable to find anybody equipped with that kind of a skimmer. It to reason that with a population of more than 160,000 the city must have some devotee of the straw hat who would observe the official opening.

Don't Put Blame on Your Kids Is Ellenwood's Plea 'Among Jim Ellenwood's "blunt observations" before the weekly Kiwanis Club luncheon this afternoon at the Hotel Kimball, was that there is no, such thing as a "youth problem." The adults start things going, ho contended; when the kids imitate their elders in any number of bad habits, then it assumes the proportions of the mis-named "youth problems." Parents, today, are old-fashioned, according to Ellenwood's views.

Staying out till midnight no longer "too late" for the modern youngster. When Ellenwood was a kid, his parents wanted to know to whose house he had been of an evening; now he doesn't know what' state his own youngsters have visited in the course of a night out. n. r.b.
