e. TOR many years the question
e. What is the matter with the
Ill boys of the larger cities" has
been going the weary rounds
of debating societies, reform clubs,
and all the rest Of the theoretical as
sociations, which have beer. trying to
solve something they only half I'M
derstoOd.
1t is an odd fact that, in theory,
every man and woman of reasoning
capacity, realizes fully the actual
need and the value Of sympathy and
the word has been worn to a fragile
as an argument, but too rarely put
into practice as a real help to the in
dividual needing it.
If there is anything drearier or
more depressingly ruled and regu-
lated than the average Y. M. G.. A.,
F. or any Of the dozen recreation clubs
and societies for the ''uplift'' of those
who don't want an uplift, but who
do need a sympathetic handling of
their needs, some of us will have to
be introduced to it.
The nearest solution to the pro-
blem Of helping the young was that
put in practice by Judge Lindsay, of
the Denver Juvenile Court.
With a profound wisdom which
only thinking could give, this man
struck the keynote when he said
that most of the juvenile criminals
had been made so by the utter lack
of understanding and sympathy
which seemed to be universal among
the poor and ignorant, in their rela-
tons with their children.
Fortunately Judge Lindsay has been
so situated as to be able to put in prac-
tice many Of the plans he has formu-
lated to get at the inner workings
Of the youngsters who came before
him, and while the Juvenile court is
still overcroWded and overwOrked,
the leaven of the earlier cases has
begun to work. In other words, the
boys who had been the first to receive
the benefit Of Judge Lindsay's plans
are helping him now in the work
among the later generation of juve-
nile derelicts.
Other cities have followed along
the lines laid down by Judge Lind
say, and now there is the order of
big Brothers."
Charles Johnston writes interest
ingly of the association and the work
it does, in a recent issue Of Harper's
Weekly. He writes Understandings
and sympathetically, and the follow
ing extract from his article will be
largely explanatory, whe it is I'M
derstOOd that the successful business
man is the Big Brother to the unfOr-
tunate chap who needs a boost to-
ward success:
$50 the Big Brothers, to the num-
Der of seven or eight hundred, or
perhaps thousand, pick up and
brother these lads Of the streets, who
get 'pinched' and landed in the Jul
venile Court. They find jobs for the
Little Brothers, which is not so diff
ficult, as most Of them are employ
ers of labor, or have a pull with
those who are. They keep the
youngsters in the good path, and
what is more than bushels of advice,
they give them comradeship, affec-
ton, friendship, human love- making
them feel that the heart of things is
good. And, once more paradoxical-
ly, it seems that, much as the Little
Brothers get out of it, the Big Broth
ers get a good deal more. Take the
case of one Of them, bachelor and
a banker. He took on a Little
Brother, and found him job. Then,
on holidays, he took him to the

NEW YORK, March 26.-As on all oc-
casions where accident or unforeseen con-
ditions arise the fire developed its heroes
and its heroines. Perhaps in the role Of
these cool-headed few, the name Of
Ethel Monick will stand out the bright

William L. Hall, Assistant Forester,
stationed at the experiment station at
Madison, Wis, has been chosen to make
the selections and practically to estab-
lish the Appalachian forest reserve. Mr..
Hall has been ordered to Washington by
Secretary Wilson and will arrive here
Tuesday. He will confer with Chief
Forester Graves and Secretary Wilson,
and Immediately begin the work of lay
ing out the big Eastern reserve.
Upon Mr.. Hall will fall the work OF
determining just what lands shall be
bought with the $4,000, 900 appropriated
for the Appalachian reserve. He will
traverse the whole region covered by
the reserve from the Carolinas to the
White mountains. In building up this
Eastern reserve Mr.. Hall in one sense
has on his hands the greatest problem
which has ever been undertaken by THE
Forest Service.
When the reserves of the West were
tablished the lands for the most part
were in the public domain. There were
some few purchases made, but these

DETROIT. Mich, March 26.-The

sash and door factory was entirely
destroyed by fire early this morning
causing damage amounting to

insurance.
Eight residences on either side of
the factory were partially destroyed
by fire and the roofs of twelve others
in the near vicinity caught fire from
flying embers, and were slightly
slightly damaged.
The fire started in the rear of the
factory and spread very rapidly Sew
eral explosions occurred during the
early part of the fire. The firemen
were handicapped at the start by be-
ing unable to get sufficient water sup
ply for some reason that the officials
cannot explain. When they finally
did get water in sufficient quantities.
the FIRE had spread through the en-

jacent houses.
Thousands OF spectators were drawn
to the fire and one man who is still
