Denver Judge Then Gives Good
Advice About Boys.

Judge Ben Lindsey followed illustfi'
Gus examples and Joined the spugs yes
terday morning before he began his lect-
ure on the "Children's Court" at the Wal
dorf-Astoria.
The little Judge" from Denver told the
New York social worker that the bad
kids" who make policeman's life mis-
cradle are no worse than the men higher
up" In the business world. who permit
conditions TO exist to produce such boys.
"A boy needs fathers firm hand" he
said Whose fault is II II the boy goes
wrong missing that fathers guidance be-
cause father works twelve hours day IN
a factory and is too tired out TO be decent
TO the boy at night?"
Judge Lindsey also said the existence OF
wrong, missing that fathers guidance, be-
the boys. who resented the fact that they
were "jugged." while wealthy malefactors
went free.
'It is the old story Of the boy brought
TO me for shooting craps" said the judge.
This boy finally said: Well, judge. !
won't shoot craps II youse don't want me
TO, but | won't stop for the cops. cause

that. he pointed to the gambling houses

This Is the condition that produces

must shoulder the blame. The little boys
who are bad kids and the big boys who
are groWn-up grafters are both the fault
OF the people who lead them into tempta-
ton. A teacher left her pocketbook full
of money where a little boy saw II and

PITTSBURGH DEALERS WISE
Cut Prices Quickly When
Women Start Crusade.
[ BY Telegraph 10 The Tribune

Pittsburgh, Dec. "A. - The success at
tending the efforts Of the Woman's Cluo
OF Philadelphia to reduce the cost OF
living has spurred the Marketing Club OF
Pittsburgh. an organization composed OF
women in society. to take up the night Tor
a reduction in the price of eggs.
Following the plan adopted by their
sisters In Philadelphia, the Pittsburgh
women started to arrange for the sale OF
eggs at a price much below that de-
manded by the retail dealers. The latter
unlike the Quaker City dealers, did not
show fight. They promptly announced a
big cut in prices. and to-day they sold
strictly fresh eggs at q cents a dozen
and creamery butter at 80 cents pound.
These were the prices set by the Mar
keting Club
Mrs John S. Flannery. president OF the
Marketing Club, was in high glee. I'VE
believed that il the women OF Philadel-
phia could furnish the people with eggs
AT a reasonable price we could do the
same here" she said.
