TALKS OF DELINQUENT GIRLS
Philadelphia Woman says They
should Not BE Treated Like
Bad Boys.


PHILADELPHIA. May 1.-THE Delin-

section meeting OF the thirty-third national
conference Of charities and corrections
The subject wac presented by Miss Vida
II. Francis of this city who said in parts
The radical difference in proportion be-
tween boy and girl delinuuents and in ratio

The judge OF a juvenile court has three
First-To send the girl back to her same
environment under the care Of proba-
toner.
Second-To place her in a good home
through the probauoner or some child
placing agency.
Third-To send her to a training school.
A girl morally tainted should obviously
not be returned to the scene of her iufec-
tion, and only in cases OF trivial misde-
meanor oi in the exceptional case of a

In placing girls uninfectsd by the social
evil, but of criminal tendencies, the danger
is that they will not receive an adequate
special training. The place of the normal
child is in the normal home, but every de-
linquent needs special care and a heavy
responsibility rests on judges to examine
the reputation of the families in which the
delinouents are placed and on probatoners
to see that they live up to their regulations
and responsibilities.
No words can be strong enough to urge
judges not to send girls who are actually
morally tainted into Homes. II II Is a
crime against the home and community to
harbor a person AFFLICTED with smallpox, is

At the afternoon section meeting state

.'HoLY CROSS STILL INTACT.
Reports of Accident to the Famous
Mountain Proved False.

Justice has only recently been done to
one of the most majestic mountains of
Colorado. For Some years a persistent
runor has been afoat that the famous
Mount of the Holy Cross had suffered
an accident in the shape Of a rock slide
which had destroyed one of the arms
of the cross, or rather had filed up one
of the transverse -canons and excluded
the snow therefrom. thus obliterating
a portion of the cross.
Photographs showing this defect have
actually been made, but short time
ago the Denver & Rio Grande railroad
sent its photogro piers, w H. jackson.
the noted landscape artist of Detroit,
and George L. Beam, of Denver on a
trip to the wonderful Holy Cross region
for the purpose of proving or disproving
the statement as to the partial destruc-
ton of the cross. Leaving the town OF
Red Cliff. after an immense amount of
hard travelling through an almost UNI
broken wilderness, the summit of Notch
mountain Ga long and jagged eninence
directly opposite the Mount of the Holy
Cross) was reached. and from the first
point OF view one of the arms of the
cross did appear to be missing. How
ever, on bearing to the right and rising
higher a fine thread of snow became
visible on that portion of the summit
and after continuing in this direction for
some distance the entire left arm ap-
peared and IL was found that the cross
was as complete and beautiful as ever
A comparison OF the new photographs
with the first one ever made, which Mr..
Jackson took t1irty-three years ago,
shows practically no chance even in the
spots of snow on the mountain, to say
nothing OF any alterations in the masses
Of rock of which it is composed. Evil

started by persons who had not ascend

Doubtless this magnificent mountain will
retain its shape and remain one of the
wonders of America for many genera
