Washingtonians who happen to be In
the central sections of the city after dark
il Judge De Lacys plans for controlling
them materialize. He has just returned
to Washington from several days at
tendance at the child's welfare exhibit In
New York city, where he absorbed some
IDEAS relative to evils that threaten ju-
veniles in their contact with night life.
All child. en- who are not compelled to
earn their living will be driven from the
streets and those who must woi X Will De
kept under a proper surveillance If they
happen to be on the streets after dark.
Street peddlins or any other occupation
especially at night, according to Judge
DE Lacy. tends to develop an insubordlna-
ton that gradually d. avs child away
from its home 1t is one of the principal
causes of incorrigibilty, he believes
1t is regarded as probable the Juvenile
Court also will hold parents strictly re-
sponsible for the delinquency OF tneir
children in the future. This was fea-
ture of the recent exhibit i'll New YORK
