To the new beginner on roller skates
it seems that to learn the art of stand
ing up on the pesky things will be
enough to satisfy the innermost long
ings of his soul; but this feat once
accomplished, ambition flies ever
onward and upward until running,
dancing and numerous tricks are
mastered on the treacherous rollers.
The very latest. however, is basket
ball, and if surgeons, doctors and
undertakers do not reap a rich har-
vest from the proceedings, it will be
because appearances are deceptive

CYCLISTS MUST
HAVE BELLS.
Accident TO Aged Woman at
Stare and Smith Streets
Starts Police Crus ade.
MAKE SEVERAL ARRESTS TODAY

An aged woman was knocked down
by boy on a bicycle at Smith and
State streets about 4:30 o'clock yes
terday afternoon.
The woman was crossing from New
Brunswick avenue at the time and
did not hear the approaching bicy-
clist, who used no bell to warn her.
Charles F. Moore, the newsdealer,
ran to the woman's aid and she was
assisted to her feet and it was found
that she was practically uninjured,
other than from shock. The boy on
the wheel disappeared and the wo-
man was able to go to her home. Eff
forts of indignant citizens to learn
the boys identity were fruitless.
The police have received many
complaints in the past week about
bicyclists who have no bells on their
handle bars A number of people
have been knocked down in this way
and the police intend to have the law
enforced.
Patrolman Meshrow arrested five
bicycle riders without bells this after
noon. They were taken to the police
station and, after promising to ap-
pear at o'clock tomorrow morning
for a hearing, were released.

Question as to What to Do With
Them Pending Trial. Puzzles
Local Authorities
FORBIDDEN TO LOCK THEM UP
Judge .Booraem of the County Court
Has Given Orders That No Chill
dyen Shall be Locked Up, and 1t is
Difficult 20 Decide What to Do
. With Them While Waiting for
Hearing in the Juvenile Court.

A serious question is now puzzling
the police department IN regard to
locking up children.
Judge Booraem has issued orders
that no children are to be placed in
Jail and, when an arrest is made
here, If bonds are not furnished, the
police are compelled TO parole the
youthful prisoners until the next ses-
sion of the juvenile court, which is
supposed to meet every Friday after
noon at New Brunswick
Yesterday the court did not meet,
and the local authorities had boy
charged with stealing iron, arrested
yesterday morning. AS the boy could
not be locked up and no one offered
to furnish bail, he had TO be paroled.
Chief Burke regards the question
seriously and things that some ar
rangements could be made so that the
youthful prisoners could be held in
default of bail.
