stylish. Mrs. Bailey is to be con-

THE JUVENILE COURT.

Arkansas has adopted a Juvenile
court law in line with the best of
the approved laws of other states
which have gone far into the jul
yenile problems. The law is now in
effect in This state.
One of the most trying problems
which has confronted the courts of
this district for years has been the
problem of what to do with the
Maynard boy and girl. Under the
helplessness of the courts and offic-
ers, many boy and girl have gone
beyond the pale.
But from now on, the various
courts of the city and district will
turn each arrested boy under II
years and girl under 10 years to the
disposition of the county juvenile
court, and the probation officer is
GWEN power to control the way
ward ones.
Under the new law County Judge
Martin becomes judge of the ju-
venile court with power to appoint
board of six visitation officers and
a probation officer.
The new law affirms that every
boy under II and girl under rs is
ward of the state, with a duty and
a power upon the part of the state
to see that the child has a right en-
vironment in life in which to de-
yelop good citizenship. The first
affirmation Of section 1 is that chill
dren under 81 years are wards of
the state, subject to the interest
and supervision of the juvenile
court. II specifies that two classes
of children shall be subject TO the
guardianship of the court, the de-
pendent or neglected, and The delin-
quent children.
Dependent or neglected children
are specified as boys under II and
girls under i8 who are destitute.
homeless, dependent on the public
for support, without proper parent
age, WHO DegS or Is living with dis
reputable, neglectful or depraved
parents or guardians: or if under
ten years old, is found begging or
peddllng or singing for gain on The
streets.
The delinquent child is the hoy
under II or girl under iS who vio-
lates law, IS incorrigible, associates
with vicious or immoral people,
who absents himself or herself
without consent from home, who is
growing up in idleness or crime, or
who visits habitually. saloons, gam
ing places, pool or billiard halls or
immoral resorts; or is profane, uses
Indecent language or smokes cigar
cites.
The case may be brought before
the court on complaint and with
out warrant, and the Judge may or

der the supervision Of a probation
officer, may require it 10 report at
stated periods to Judge or officer.

Since the Supreme Court has de-
cided that the Standard Oil Com
pany will have to be dissolved in
six months, no doubt Mr.. Rookie
Teller will raise the price Of oil a
few cents after the dissolution goes
into effect, for two reasons: First.
to convince the public what a good
friend they had in the old Standard
Oil Company, and secondly, to
show us that the dissolved" Stan
dard Oil Company is still much big
