GODDESS MAN POOR
CITIZEN. PRIEST SAYS

A Goddess man makes a poor citi-
zen, unscrupulous in his principles to-
ward his neighbors and his country,
said the Rev. II. j. Timmons, of BUT
falo, n. Y, in an address before the
Holy Name Society and the parishion-
ers of the church at St. Paul's r. C.
Church last evening. The speaker said
that a practical Catholic is a true citi-
zen who loves his flag and proves his
love by fulfilling and respecting his
country's laws. Father Timmons said
that the Catholic Church today is
warning modern society against the
evils that threaten the stability OF a
country, just as she always has done
in the past He mentioned especially
the stand of the Catholic church
against divorce as an example of the
influence of the church in conserving
the foundation of the country. Father
Timmons considered conservation Of
humanity as more important than con-
servation Of coal and timber lands.
Father Timmons was formerly
Wilmingtonian. and many personal
friends were in the large congrega-
ton that greeted him.

Judge Mack, Sees Straight
Line From AdenOidS to
PeRitentiary
AMERICAN POLICE STATIONS
BAD AS RUSSIAN HOLES

There are no worse hell-holcs i'm
Russia than some Of the police sta
tions in our big cities" said Judge
Julian W. Mack. of the United States
Commerce Court, in telling his ex-
periences as Juvenile Court judge i'm
Chicago for many years, to an audi
ence at the New Century Club. on
Saturday evening. The judge was
emphatic in his statements that the
idea Of police, arrests. police stations,
and judge on a bench should be got
ten away from in dealing with the
youngsters. He said in the last
seventy-five years the idea had advan-
ced from hanging children at the age
of 9 years in England, to sending
them to penitentiary, to reform
-"N0ol and now to probation. The
Judge said that the juvenile court had
ae.1 / remedial features Of the pris-
on, namely the constant supervision
and demand that the children perform
their duties. The whole idea was to
make the youngsters feel that the
state was helping them. He said an
expert physician was an essential
need Of any juvenile court. that while
juvenile crime was not always due 10
disease, il was i'm the majority of
cases, and he could draw a straight
line from adenoids to the penitentiary.
Judge Mack said that the Juvenile
Court. while valuable. would be out
lived by modern philanthropy. which
by preventing rather than curing
juvenile crime would make such
courts superfiuous AS steps toward
this he told of the necessity for every
community of medical inspection i'm
the schools. with a trained nurse to
see that the parents followed the
doctors orders if they could afford it,
or else have the state pay for the
treatment; Of Fairgrounds and rec
reation centers. and one Of the most

IL Is absolutely unfair to withdraw
his name until he has an opportunity
to put in his defense. IL he cannot
explain satisfactorily to the com-
mittee that he is fit person for this
position, then of course he should not
be confirmed. do not believe the men
who recommended his appointment
will ask that his name be withdrawn
until this opportunity is given him.

ings that Mr. Swain did carry bundla
of money from Wilmington to Bridges
Vile on the Saturday previous to the
