WORSE THAN HOMELESS.
Chicago Has 10000 Young Students
in Crime.

A charitable worker who has come IN
touch with the young of the poorer dis
trlcts of Chicago, whence come the tough
lad. estimates that there are over 10000
boys IN the city who are worse than home
less. In other words, they are in direct
line of becoming criminals or public
charges, under the teaching of the train
ed criminal who makes the city his refuge.
The fact that they can buy weapons
and ammunition without explanation
makes 1t an easy matter for youthful
thugs to start on their careers. They
laugh at the efforts of the police to catch
them. For the most part they live at
home or with relatives, and in the neigh
borhoods are known as dissipated and
tough boys, but not as holdup men. With
companions they sally out at night to iso-
lated sections of the city where they know
the police protection to be inadequate.
They choose secluded spots offering the
protection of darkness and lay in wait.
Then, with plenty of time deliberately to
stop tie victim and take from him vaIua-
bles, they operate until it is time for the
policeman to be in the vicinity, or until
the profits of the expedition are sufficient
to satisfy their spirit of revelry and riot

INDIANS AND IRRIGATION.
Employed on Government Projects
in Arizona and Montana

On several of the big government irri-
CATION projects now under construction
pains have been taken to give employment
to large numbers of Indians living near
the works. In connection with every pro-
Ject the government finds it necessary to
undertake more or less road building, and
u is principally on this work that the In
dams are employed. Others, more accus-
toned to labor, have employment on the
canals and at the dam sites In this way
they are enabled to earn a living and to fit
themselves to become self-supporting when
the government moves from the field ara
they are thrown on their own resources.
In Arizona several hundred Apache In
dams are now employed in road building
and on other works connected with the If
rigatiOn system. When this project is
completed and the lands are taken up by
settlers, the Indians or many of them,
will be able to find employment with the
settlers, as there is much work to be done
before the irrigated lands are converted
into productive fields. In Montana many
more Indians are at work on the Milk riv-
er project, and later, when the government
begins constructions in the klamath basin.
employment will be given to all Klamath
Indians who desire to make from 81 to
s. day. Possibly better pay will be
granted to those who are competent to
earn more.

BIG SHIPS TAKE PLUNGE.
Cruiser and Two Atlantic Liners
Launched at British Shipyards.

Three leviathans were launched from
three big shipyards in Great Britain
Thursday. They are the Shannon, the
longest armored cruiser in the world; the
Mauretania, the new Cunarder, a sister
ship to the Luistania, and the White Star
liner Adriatic, which, next to the two
huge Cunarders, is the largest ship afoat.
The Adriatic was the first Of the three
ships to take water. 1t is the largest
vessel ever built at Belfast The displace
ment is 10000 TONS This ship is 40
feet long, 70 feet 6 inches beam and 80
feet 6 inches deep. The gross tonnage is
nearly $4,000. The Adriatic has nine
decks and seven cargo holds, and has
been constructed more for regard of the
comfort of transatlantic passengers than
for speed. The Maurentania is 100 feet
long over ALL and it's width is So feet.
The nodded depth is 60 feet-much great
er than in earlier ships-and her draught
is SO feet. There are eight decks. With
full complement of passengers the ship
will carry more than 5000.
