JANE adams CONDEMNS
JUVENILE COURT ROOM


Miss Jane Adams. Of Chicago. and
Mrs. Margaret W. Kelly. Inspector Of
the public welfare department at 81.
Paul, both Of whom are In Washington,
yesterday declared that the present
quarters Of the Juvenile Court are
disgrace to the National Capital. and
expressed the opinion that q new build
ing should be erected Immediately.
Pictures have seen of the court
building show iron bars across the win
dows." said Miss Adams. 1T looks like
a prison. That IL wrong. The children
should not be treated as though they
were criminals. Why have juvenile
courts. II they are to be made the same
as the police courts in which children
used to be tried?"
There has been chiIdren's court in
every city in which I have been since
leaving st. Paul, and We have an ex-
cellent one there This courthouse in
Washington is absolutely the worst
have seen. How on earth anything can
be done for the good Of child in this
structure is beyond comprehension"
Mrs. Kelly said.

Life With Depth.

Many life that seems most ex'
posed to the heat of the day has abun-
dant refreshing for other lives. It is
not always the outwardly sheltered
soul that can offer to others the help
of the deepest experiences. Close by
a dusty mountain road, in a hot and
swampy meadow, with no shade near
1t, is little spring among the grasses.
There Is a stick in the ground beside
it, with cup thereon, and q sign.
Gold Spring" You hardly believe in
the sign until, tired traveller that you
are, you set your lips to cup of that
water 1t is the coolest spring in the
region, bubbling up among the grasses
of the hot meadow, not gushing from
moss-grown rock on the mountainside.
The little meadow-spring has depth
and shelter known to itself. Is this
not also the secret of the life of that
friend whose refreshing presence has
often meant so much to you?-Sunday

From time immemorial the oyster
has been a favorite item in the menu
of the human race. The famous
kitchen middens" of primitive times
prove by their vast heaps of shells
that the oyster was prehistoric ar
ticle of diet. And all through the his
toric ages this prince of bivalves has
appealed to the appetite and taste OF
mankind. The Romans when they
were masters of the world were them
selves mastered by the oyster, their
indulgence in it being one of the
amusing chapters in gastronomic his
tory. And in the modern dietetic
world the oyster holds q lofty place.

DOGS HAVE GOOD MEMORIES
Though Long Periods May Elapss,
They Do Not Forget Their
Former Owners.

Some remarkable instances Of dogs
memories are given by writer In the
Scotsman. The late Major Fair OF
Wells he says, received Dandie Din
mont terrier puppy from we'll known
breeder, and kept her until nine
months old, when she was sent back.
..She came into my possession five years
later. One day, upon meeting Major
Fair on the road, she ran forward, rec
ognizing him and, showing great de-
light in her happy doggy way, al
though she had not seen him for over
three years.
Some years later (when the dog was
nine years of age) / went into Local
BARRIERS shop and was surprised to see
and hear her excitedly showing signs
of meeting a friend which she did by
yelping and jumping upon the mans
knee and trying to lick his face. This
man turned out to be Major Fairs
coachman, who had brought her up.
and had not seen her for over six
years.
Dogs have q mode of concealing REQ
ognition If 1t suits their purpose. A
friend of mine sold q terrier to the
late Baltic Morrison of Hawick. Upon
calling upon the Bailie some three
months later my friend was surprised
at the dog taking no notice of him, but
on his way home at night, when about
four miles from Hawick, he happened
to look back, and saw the dog follow
ing him in stealthy manner, which it
persisted in doing until 1t reached Jed
burgh. 1t was sent back by carrier
next day and never on any future oc-
casion recognized its old master. Sure
1y this was not lapse Of memory 80
much as offended dignity.
