 The door to the Probation Officers room of the Juvenile Court swung open yesterday and three women whisked in and stepped briskly up to the desk of John J. McManaman att torney for the court. ., nE
 "Ahem," caughed one of the women as she formed her lips into a winning smile. Attorney McManaman looked up impatiently. f'.
 "Is this MT. McMananan inter- rogated the spokeswoman!of the dele
 "Yes, madam, what can I do for you?" trying to. smile, sand almost succeeding.
 There was rustic of silk, the little swinging gate in the, railing was pushed open and the spokeswoman stepped within the enclosure, moved a chair to the side of MT. McMana- mans desk, sank into it and emitted sigh indicating a feeling ofgreat relief The delegate in black taffeta seized another chair and dropped into it. The delegate in the automobile coat did likewise, sinking and signing at the left of the busy attorney. "
 We are a delegation" began the spokeswoman, forbiding her lips into a second entrancing smile and peering over her gold trimmed '"spectacles at MT. McManaman. We are a .delega- tion from the Every FkhFsday Social Research Club, and we are investiga- ting the boy problem. 'eNow, we know that you will be good enough to give us the information we want. We are to read papers on the Boy Problem at the next meeting. of the, club, You have so many boys at you club and you govern them so exeellentlgy that you are just the one person in Chicago who can help us. NoNw tell us, do you use corporal punishInent or moral suasion?"
 Moral suasion," began MT. McMan- aman, who does not believe the boy is a problem while 1t has received the indirsement of the experts requires constant application, which renders it exceedingly unsatisfactory. Force lis to expensive. It application takes up too much energy that might be applied to better adparttage in other adirections.
 "In Denver I understand that hyp- notism is used, but in my opinion it's use is dangerous because the brain does not grow under the spell. On the other hand, mesmerism leaves the subject sleepy. I have found solu- tion of the problm, but I'm little timid about making my formula public as it's use by other than experts would be dangerous.
 70, but do tell us," urged the dele gation.
 Well" began Attorney McMan- aman seriously, T take ~ 25 ordinary bees, working bees, not drones, and extract their brains. Then I take 25 ants, laboring ants, ants that have passion for work, sober, industrious ants and I extract their brains.
 ''Then take the tips of the ears ana the tail of fox. l boil the. tips of the ears and the tail of the fox to- gether, let it cool, and then skim off LilS OIl LAlctl IIoSS LO ItAC SuLLdIGS l purify that oil.
 Then mix the brains of the bees and the brains of the ants with the refined oil, and it makes a nice serum. I give each boy at the business club a hypodermic injection of the serum and after three doses have no trou- ble whatever with the boy. He be- comes industrious, saving, and al- ways on the alert to take advantage of any opportunity offered him."
 "Wonderful'-excl one of the researchers, biting off the end of the word as she caught a flash from the eye of companion. The three women rose awkwardly, almost starchily. MT. McManainan thought he heard thank you' as the gate closed behind the retreating visitors, but he wasn't sure. ''Now my great secret is out" he murmured sadly as he bent himself again to his work.-Chicago Tribune.
