OF new COURT

Members of the Brotherhood of
Harrison Street NJ Il. Church last
evening listened to an address by
Judge James w. Lattomus on the
many phases of work connected with
the Juvenile Court. Judge Lattomus
outlined the many criminal prosecu-
tions which led to the creation OF the
first Juvenile Court in Chicago. in
June, 1899, and which idea has spread
until today there are such courts in
forty states.
The members Of the Brotherhood
were informed Of the need of volun-
teer probation officers, the lack of an
adequate court room and detention
house.
The regulation by which a child on
probation is governed Judge Lattomus
said are these:
Keep out of bad company
Attend a divine service each Sun
day
Attend school regularly.
Report to the judge once a month.
Keep well I'm mind that you are a
ward of the court"
In addition to reporting to the judge
once a month, the child on probation
is required to report TO the probation
officer once every week. BY this meth
cd constant touch is kept with the
boy or girl, whichever it happens to
be, on probation.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
The Cold Checked Retail Lines-No'
Much Better Than Fair Anyway.


Dun's says editorially that the cola
snap checked distribution in the re-
tail trade.
Extreme cold " w'ather, while 1t mas
stimulated certain branches o. trade
has had the general effect Of check
ing retail distribution; otherwise the
business situation shows a strength
ened confidence. combined with a
clearly defined conservatism.
The best exhibit continues in iron
and steel in which further large
orders by the railroads, the Govern
ment and the individual contractors
serve to increase the volume ct bust
ness and cut down the number OF
idle mills. In the dry goods trade
some labor disturbances retard mil
operations TO some extent, but the
outlook continues very satisfactory
the volume of transactions showing
marked gains without speculative iea-
tnres. The weeks record of bank
clearings is encouraging, exhibiting
gain OF 6.3 per cent. over : st year
AT New York city and of 10 per cont
outside New York Railroad gross
earnings are barely up TO tiose OF
last year. showing loss OF IL per
cent. in the first week o. January

Protects Wilmington Merchants

THE EVENING JOURNAL, Wilmingtons
great home newspaper gained 1896 agate
lines of paid advertising of all kinds in De-
cember 1911, over December 1910.
THE JOURNALS daily average circulation
in December 1910, was 1925. The daily
average in December 1911, was 14,174, show
ing daily average gain of 1889 in circula-
tion.
THE JOURNALS gain in volume of ad.
vertising was made possible by the increased
patronage of local merchants.
THE JOURNAL does not carry the adver-
tising of Philadelphia merchants who are
competitors of the Wilmington merchants.
THE JOURNAL has declined all Philadelphia
store advertising.
THE JOURNAL believes in DOING some
thing for Wilmington merchants-not talk
ing about it.
Advertisers are beginning to realize that
greatest results come through CONCENTRA-
TION and are selecting the medium that is
read by nearly 10000 people daily.
Paper Reaches the People
THE JOURNAL is read by more people
daily than any other Wilmington newspaper
and 80 per cent. of its circulation is delivered
into Wilmington homes.
THE JOURNAL sells more copies daily
in each Ward in the City of Wilmington than
any other Wilmington newspaper.
THE JOURNAL goes each day into the
buying homes of this city.
THE JOURNAL constantly and effec lively
reaches the result-producing population in
Wilmington and surrounding sections. 1t
goes into more than $4,000 homes of people
who pay one cent a copy for it and is delv-
cred by a system of agents that permits the
reader to stop any minute the paper is no
longer welcome. Can you beat that for high
class, live circulation?
THE JOURNAL does not give its paper
away or cut the rate already established. THE
JOURNAL is we'll worth one cent copy, 6
cents a week and 25 cents a month. 1t can
not be bought for less.
