Chiefs Gold Badge

New Head of Police Department
Finds That Predecessors Had
Worn Base Metal Insignia.

PASADENA, June 2S.-"Silver
Threads Among the Gold" merrily
whistled newly appointed Chief of
Police w. S. McIntire as he scraped
off the gold from the badge that was
turned over to him by his predecessor,
w. F. Wood, who resigned from the
office
When Wood resigned he presented
his successor with the badge con-
tanning the words, Chief Of Police,
Pasadena" On making a close in
spection of the badge, which had
long borne a reputation Of being solid
gold, the new chief observed that it
was somewhat furnished.
A cleanser was then applied, with
the result that the badge in few
minutes was a shining nickel plated
star and greatly similar to the other
badges worn by the balance Of the
police department.

Use Of SCHOOLS
AS AID To LOVE
MAKING URGED
Peace Executive Would Make So
ciaI Centers of Houses Of In
sruction in Big Cities.

WASHINGTON. June 2S.-Arthur
Deering can. executive director of the
American Peace Society has under
taken to win for the young men and
women Of America the right to make
love to each other
Said he:
"One OF the nation greatest needs
is the promotion of acquaintance be-
tween young men and women, the
fathers and mothers Of the next gen
Grafton, under free, attractive and
wholesome conditions. We need more
wholesome conditions for counting.
Il can think of nothing so impor-
tant to this generation as the life
mates of its various individuals, or
so vital to the next as its fathers and
mothers and home life generally.
Would Use Schools.
Il propose a wider use of school
buildings for social and neighborhOod
purposes | do not want love-mak-
ing part of the school curriculum,
but | think that the same lips that
recite the multiplication table or de-
cline noun in the class room in the
garish light Of day might just as well
whisper tender nOthingS while the
moon peeks in AT the window later on.
For a great majority of our young
people in the cities the dance halls
provide the only regular amusement
they can afford. where any man who
has the price can step up to any
young woman and ask her to dance.
No wonder such places become re-
Cruiting places for vice.
No instruction Needed.
why not let the school be a cross
between the church and the saloon?
Every school should be arranged so
that in the evening the young folks
could gather there for games. folk
dancing classes, music, athletics,
sewing classes and moving pictures.
All the young folks want is OPP
portunity to meet under proper envi-
ronment. We don't have to teach the
men how to make love. or young
women now to listen to them, but we
owe il TO the race not TO hinder or
peTvert their natural tendencies by
improper environment"

Luncheon Lurch, the latest variation

So effective has il been found along
