Judge Lindsey Tells How They
Are Reformed by Kindness.
GO TO REFORM SCHOOL ALONE

Denver Jurist Talks Of Mickey, Worst
Boy, Whs Il Now Good Citizen.
! Desperate Burglar Went to Rsforma-
| tory Alone When He Found Law His
Friend.
The congregation Of the Central
Presby terrain church In New York
heard the other night the story Of
Mickey, fhe Worst Kid In Denver"
and for an hour learned things about
boys with burglar tendencies and lean
ings to crime in general Judge Ben
b. Lindsey. head Of the children's
court OF Denver. was the speaker.
The Central Presbyterian church
started the big Brother" movement
In New York. the members OF the
mems class of the church each guar
anteeing to take a boy convicted OF
crime and be personal friend of the
youngster and do his best to help him
straighten up. Ten churches now have
Big Brother" organizations that are
working with the bad boys of New
York.
Judge Lindsey. who brought about |
the reforms in the laws OF Colorado |
concerning the treatment Of criminally |
inclined children, began by admitting
that his friend Mickey had been Of
great practical value in getting the re-
forms accomplished. When it was
learned that opposition had developed
to the new bills before the Legislature
the clergymen and philanthropists filed
to the capitol. but they brought no
witnesses to the. evils they complained
OF.
II sent for Mickey. who had been
pictured IN the Denver papers as the
worst boy In town. said the Judge,
''and asked him if he couldn't get to-
gether some witnesses for me- He
brought me about thirty little chaps
who knew what Jail meant, what cru
city meant, what lack of chance to do
right meant and who could and did
ell the truth
THE first witness was a boy nine
7ears old. Every one of us felt asham |

conditions that child told US of and I

That IL Is woman's business to see
that the world is clean, and that she
cannot do this without knowing the
sciences on which cleanliness depends
-bacteriology, chemistry, etc. - is
he belief OF Professor Walter McNab
Miller, OF Missouri University. His
capable wife, Mrs Helen Guthrie Mil.
Ter, chairman of the Pure Food Com
mittee, General Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs, has consequently had
every advantage in fitting herself for
her responsible work in promoting
the pure food campaign through the
women's clubs of the country.
OF the work for pure food bv the
Women's Clubs National Committee
II has been said by no less an author
ity than DR.. Wiley. OF the United
States Bureau of Chemistry. that IT IS
largely due to them that the Food
and Drug act was passed at that time
Mrs. Miller was born in GAINESVILLE.
ONO; educated in Putnam Seminary.
and she was married to Professor
Miller in San Francisco about twenty
years ago. She became interested in
the milk problem when she could not
get certified milk for her baby, and
took part in the first Pacific Coast
Congress. IN San Francisco. which
voiced the first demand of women for
clean food.
She has studied the food sciences
since her marriage. taking courses at
universities In Nevada. California.
Leipsic, Germany, and Missouri. An
active member in Christian. charity,

Hat Pertaining.

one OF the tricks Of the Partisan
miiliner is to perfume the chapeaux
for her special customers. The odor
from large hats laden with artificial
flowers. ribbons, etc. is often notice
able. especially before the hat has
been worn several days in the open
air. To conceal this the clever Pari-
sian milliner stiffens the ribbon bows
with wire wound with scented wool
and sews tiny sachets no larger than
buttons at the base of bows and fiow-
ers. Large flowers often may have
the calyX removed and filled in with
tiny bit of shirred silk or satin that
covers a tiny sachet.
In this case. however. unless the
sachets or perfumes are renewed they
soon cease to be odorous.- so the tin
lined hat box has been invented. In
