Conditions in Baltimore.

Judge Heuiser was then introduced. He
declared that the juvenile court strikes at
the root Of the problem of prevention of
crime. 1t is automatic, he said, that it is
much easier to prevent crime than 10 IN
f1ict punishment for its commission. Con-
tinuing, he said:
"Te juvenile courts are godsend to the
police officer. The millennium mentioned by
Mr.. Copp is by no means near, and Maj.
Sylvester need not fear thai he will lose his
position because of the scarcity OF crime.
That ideal of government is a long ways
off, and even with well-directed juvenile
courts it will take time to eradicate crimi-
nal tendencies in humanity.
There is one thing sure, though. about
the operations ofithe juvenile court. 1t
must be entirely divorced from the adult
court. In BALTIMORE we have a separate
Juvenile court. to0a certain extent. The
legislature, after providing for the institu-
ton, forgot to makei laws to govern it; but
we try to run tlreocouit by administering
justice to each individual whose case comes
before us In doing this l have tried to use
a maximum Of common sense, together with
what law there is available"
Judge Heuisler told of the operations CT

lated incidents of; tho court. He empha-
sized the need of kind. intelligent and tact

then throw him BACK into the same hole

be cleaned out. too, and the cooperation
of the parents or guardians must be

The speaker disapproved of using the
patrol wagon for the purpose of carrying
young poys to the places OF detention and

emphasized the need Of proper care for the

woman who is credited with the desire
to ''sweep the cobwebs off the sky" was
armed with broom, and in the house
hold realm the broom has long been
recognized as the most effective
medium for busting the walls and
sweeping the obnoxious cobweb from

lyn Eagle. An experienced housewife
living in q country town, however,
states that in this advanced age walls
and woodwork are best busted with
long-handled window brush covered
with canton flannel. "The brush not
being in such frequent demand as the
broom,"s he says, 'can be put away with
its cover on, and is always ready for an
emergency in the shape of a cobweb."
