CANOEISTS GREATEST

Drastic Action Must Be Taken,
Court Declares-Youths Ac-
cused of Abusing Children

Harry DeLodder, aged 20, OF No.
462 Hubbard-ave., and George Nolan
81, OF No. 526 LeMay-ave., were ar
rested, Thursday, by Truant Officer
Fred Keller, charged with enticing
two young girls into a boathouse near
Gladwin park, and keeping them there
all Monday night. The police say that
DeLodder admitted that the girls
charges We're true. and implicated
Nolan.
The girls are sisters, 10 and IL
years old, respectively, and were
away from home from Monday after
noon until Wednesday morning. Their
parents forced them TO tell OF their
, escapade, and the police investigation
followed The girls did not even
know the names OF the two young
men with whom they went canoeing,
and later TO the boathouse, but they
led Oficer Keller to the boathouse.
and DeLodder was arrested as he en-
tered the place. Nolan was arrested
later, on information furnished by De-
Lodder.
Accompanied by Truant Officer
Keller, the two girls appeared be-
fore Justice Jeffries, Friday morning,
and swore TO warrants against De-
Lodder and Nolan, making charges
for which the extreme penalty Is lie
Imprisonment.
Gladys Miller. who is 10 years old,
accuses DeLodder, and her sister
Margaret, only 13 years old, swore
to the warrant against Nolan.
The two men were arraigned before
Justice Stein at noon, pleaded not
guilty, and were remanded TO jail.
for hearing, Aug 2. Ball was fixed
at 81 900 in two sureties, each, and 1t
is not believed that the young men
will be able to furnish bonds.
Some drastic action must be taken
against these canoe-boy outrages,
said Justice Stein, later. There are
many respectable canoeists who OBJ
ject to any sort OF criticism OF the
sport of canoeing. but there are
enough unprincipled scoundreis who
make business OF using the canoe
privilege to ruin young girls. TO make
some action necessary.
More young girls are ruined by
canoeists, In Detroit, than through all
other influences combined, and the
general public knows II, whether the
respectable canoeists will admit 1t or
not"

Meet the Weather Half Way

It's no use, dear friends, to swear
at the hot weather. That only makes
you hotter Also it's no use to fan
yourself, and go around the corner
for cold drink. Come, lets figure
IL out together.
Aren't you uncomfortably hot chief.
ly for this reason-that you try too
hard to fight against the heat? Just
yield to the heat, acquiesce in II, take
1t as a matter OF course, and see now
much more comfortable you'll be.
It's natural for summer to be not,
and it's natural for man TO sweat.
Also it's good for him. 1t soaks the
physical poisons out of him, just like
the hot baths at health resort where
he'd pay good money TO be parboiled.
That leaves quiet nerves and a clear
eye--if only man doesn't work him
self into frenzy over the silly no
ton that he's suffering.
The mental attitudes the main
thing. Just meet the hot weather only
half way. IL you can persuade your
self that you wish 1t was still warm.
er, all the better. Pretty soon you'll
be enjoying the heat. and thanking
providence for the good OLD summer
time.
This isn't sarcasm, but hard fact
At any rate, since everything else has
failed. why not try 1t?

Let the Boys Play

Teachers have learned that the
surest and quickest way TO trans
form a disorderly, Indifferent class
into an orderly and interested one is
through physical exercise, especially
In the form of games and plays. In
the games there Is a better moral IN
nuence, because the child enjoys the
effort put forth for the accomplish
ment OF a definite purpose. The ele-
ment OF Joy Is most important be-
cause every good feature Of character
grows more rapidly In joyous condi-
tons. Joy Is the sunshine that gives
vitality TO good principle. Moreover,
exercise which results from and de-
velops self-activity insures the high
est propulsive power and tends TO
make the individual a self-dUecting
agent. No other form OF exercise
insures this TO such a degree as well
directed play. The boy who Is a men,
Der or team must be selfreiiant,
possess complete self-control and be
ever on the alert. He must decide
quickly and act accordingly He must
act on the square, never shirk a re-
sponsibility, be courageous but cour
tCOuo, dBBIcoblNt out not Offensive,
hopeful but ever ready to yield grace
fully TO defeat. The rules of the
game must be as scrupulously obeyed
as Is the law OF the land. Plato says,
IF children are trained to submit to
laws In their plays, the love OF law
will enter their souls with music ac-
companying the games, never leave
them and helps them in their devel-
opment."
In order to understand something
OF the tremendous interest being
taken in outdoor life, one need only
note the rapid increase In the num-
Der of Fairgrounds, parks, outdoor
athletics, fresh air schools, public
baths and the multiplicity OF boating,
motoring. riding, mountain climbing
and camping-out clubs. The boy
scout movement and the National
Playground association are perhaps
the most comprehensive and wide
spread expression of this almost uni
versal demand for outdoor life, espe-
cially when associated with games
and plays. Anaxagoras. the Greek
philosopher, when asked during his
last conscious moments how he would
have the anniversary of his death
celebrated, said, Let the boys play.

LABOR.

Ice-cold statistics recently were
published by the government to the
effect that Charles p. NELL, United
States labor commissioner, in six
years, through mediation, had settled
AZ railroad strikes, involving $4,000
men and 505,sS0 miles OF railroad.
These belated figures, however. do
not reflect all this wizard diplomat
has accomplished in the industrial
world since he was appointed to his
present Job In 1905.
His really spectacular work has
never been done in the limelight; II
usually takes place behind locked
doors. He enters a strike field when
both sides are at their wits end 70
know what to do. Both employer and
employe have made every concession
they regard possible.
On appeal from either side, Neill
begins work. Resourceful, tactful
and shrewd, he hears both sides, and
then, like playground instructor,
suggests compromises. No one out
side the parties concerned ever hears
just how It's done.
Neills genius Is shown in his abil-
ity to make statistics tell vital
story. This was illustrated when he
emerged from the Lawrence strike
field after weeks Of work and quietly
handed over a bunch of "fggers' that
brought out the salient fact that the
workers were not paid an amount
which could possibly be construed
living wage. 1t was about the best
piece of undertaking an Uncle Sam
employee ever did.
The same thing happened when
Neil broke into the game for the
government as special investigator Of
the stockyards. He was assisted by
James Reynolds. Their work led UP
to the pure food law.
AS peace-dove in the settlement or
the great anthracite coal strike in
1902 he first attracted wide attention.
But long before, he was famous at
Georgetown university.
He was 20 when he decided he
needed college education. When he
was graduated they awarded him
"summa cum laude" honors. He was
the best in the class of 112. In 50
years Neill was the only student to
