1t is one thing. however. to bang away at a
big float that is anchored out in bay and an
other to hit ship which Is moving rapidly,
even though it be coming almost straight for
the fort which is trying to repel its attack.
During the short period Of time required for
ascertaining the ships distance and commun-
eating the proper instructions to gunner, 4
change Of aim has become necessary 1t is Gus
tOmary. therefore. for the operator at the range
finder to compute the probable position Of a
ship two minutes hence. and to instruct the gun
ner to set his piece accordingly.
A cannon is mounted with two sets OF grad
uated circles. measuring angles Of motion
sideways, and the other motion up and down. In
aiming a gun Of course il is necessary to move
1t in both ways. Now the man at the range
finder telegraphs TO the gunner to set his gun
by these graduations, and gives him the right
readings for that purpose The gunner Is thus
relieved Of part OF his responsibility. When
| the ship reaches the position which the operator
had contemplated, he either discharges the gun
| GEOGRAPHICALLY himself or flashes up in front
| Of the gunner q signal to fire.

JUVENILE CRIMES AND CURFEW
CHIMES.
BY Wilbur F. Crafts, Phi. D. Supt. of the
Reform Bureau, Wash, D. c.

BY Wilbur F. Crafts, Phi. D. Supt. of the
Reform Bureau, Wash, D. c.
The parents in more than 800 towns
and cities of the United States, moved
by 300 tragedies of juvenile crime, have
recently Misunderstanding cooperative
ly through their town and city councils
that their children shall come home
at night at the signal of a so-calIed cur
few bell, which usually rings at eight
o'clock in winter, at nine in summer.
Those who argue against the revival
of the "curfew" as return to medieva-
lism show ignorance of history or lack
of poetry. The ancient curfew applied
to old and young alike. The modern
curfew has only the poetic semblance
of being an evening bell. AS well OBJ
ject to modern uses of the words "chiv-
airy" and Crusade" because the words
in medieval times meant war. Those
who argue that parents should regulate
this matter, forget that government is
but the cooperative act of parents, who
need to act together in cities and vii
lagos. Nowhere can curfew be estab-
lished except at the request of parents
expressed in ballots and petitions. The
law no more interferes with parental
rights and personal liberty than the
kindred laws on compulsory education
and child labor now fully established in
the most enlightened commonwealth.
The school and the curfew bell are
equally justified as necessary safeguards
of public morals and prospective citi-
zenship. Laws forbidding the sale of
liquors and tobacco and corrupt litera-
ture to minors have long since illustrat-
ed the duty of the state to protect i'm
mature youth. Gladstone's great say
ing, that it is the chief purpose of law
to make it as hard as possible to do
wrong and as easy as possible to do
right, applies permanently to laws for
| the protection of minors. No intelli-
gent view of personal liberty justifies
turning children loose to play with
poisons and razors. The most inspiring
watchword of reform is give the boys
chance" They have no chance If
left upon the streets at night.
All the doleful prophecies of what the
law could or could not do have been an
swered by ten years of history. The
testimony of the cities which have re-
jected these shallow objections and
tried the curfewis uniformly favorable.
The law has not destroyed civil liberty,
nor promoted communism; it has not
proved to be incapable, not even diff
cult of enforcement, but has been well
observed. 1t has decreased juvenile
crime and vice. 1t has checked the
alarming growth of boodlumism
When the city of lincoln, Neb., had
been under curfew law two years,
Mayor Graham wrote: 1.-THE results OF
the ordinance in reducing crime were
a complete surprise. There has been a
decided improvement, socially and NOR
