outcry against the cigarette habit and
the moving picture shows was made by
delegates to the quarterly convention Of

Union yesterday at the Eastern Presby-

The Rev. Zed H Copp, in an address
on Juvenile delinquency in Washing

as now being conducted. are among the
most conspicuous causes for juvenile de-
linquency In this city. Boys, says Rev.
Mr. Copp, often steal money and articles,
which can easily be converted into
money. to enable them to attend the
shows.

charge of the fight which the W. c. T.
u. is making against the cigarette evil,
made a report. which stated that 5000
leaflets have recently been given out in
