DIES MONIES, Aug 21.--(Special) )-1n the
hopes of getting something done toward
a detention home as provided for in the
Juvenile court law, Mrs. Isaac Hills, wife
OF the ex-mayor, went before the city
council today and said that unless some
thing was done at once the Juvenile court
would be found a failure and the matter
have to be dropped. The law provides that
cities and counties can provide a detention
home as a part OF the punishment for
children and provides that they cannot be
kept in jails or penltentaries. 1t is held
that the law cannot be given a proper eX-
pertinent without a home. Mrs. Hills said
some very sharp things to the council to-
day and said that the supervisors would
rcft Tracey home II the city would ex-
tend the lease for six months; that lawiess-
ness was growing with the children because
they could not be detained and that the
blame for this was on the city council for
not acting sooner.
