THIS COURT MAKES MEN

Little Gus stood on a chair, but even
then his round black eyes could hardly
peep over the desk, so Judge Ellis had
to bend forward to see the prisoner.

Gus grinned his appreciation Of the
joke. His eyes sparkled in the best of
humor, he dug his toes into the chair,
he wiggled almost out of his red sus-

planned. Il was going to bring him

Gus was the first defendant in the
children's court, the new tribunal which
convenes each week to pass upon the

There are negroes caught shooting

carrying pistols.
The court hears their stories weighs

may have another chance or go to the
reformatory If the are placed on pro-

the court officer and show that they are

they are no longer locked in Jail or sent
out to the stockade to learn new les
sons from those universities Of crime.
The state has learned that it is easier
to save boy than punish criminal.

Betz Brothers Glad to Reach

Frank and Irving Betz, just back

worst sea voyages that anybody could
have experienced when they returned
recently from trip to Europe.
The sea washed over the boat and
filed their state room. The water dam
aged their baggage and for time
great fear was felt that the boat would
sink Even their clothes were washed
out of their state room. The lifeboats
were washed away and the wireless
put out of commission.
S. Betz, Sr.. expressed the belief that
When the boat was long overdue F.
some trouble had occurred. He said
that he heard from the boys when they
were 1000 miles off shore and a day
later they were still $50 miles away
The boys returned and are telling
their friends of the dangers OF a trip
such as they took. The boat was dis
abled and limped into port. The pas
sengers were panic-stricken. Had the
water got in the boilerroom, there is
no question but what it would have
sunk
