The car swerved, but she had her
foot on the brake now and stopped

side of the road-the trespasser. She
knew him even before she knelt be-

knee afraid to look upon its death

He was taken straight up to the

Weddlno Rinu Anyays Used.

Wedding customs have varied with
changing periods but the wedding ring
has always been used. Its earliest
form was iron, then, in turn, copper.
brass, leather, sedge and adamant;
and, after this, the precious metals.
The first record OF its use is in Gen.
esis 4. The old Gimmal ring was
cunningly fitted in two sections, so
that one went to the bride and the
other to the bridegroom: and It Ia
often copied for modern hrstss.

few of these have come back. Our
judgment is that this preventive work
brings the largest results to the COM
munity of any of our endeavors. OF
the three hundred eighty cases heard
by the court during the past year, 1863
were placed on probation; eighteen
were placed in private homes; twenty
were placed in Institutions for de-
linquent children; ten we're placed
in institutions for dependent children,
and the remaining ones we're either
dismissed. retired or held up.
Zone thing that must be kept in
mind is that the probation force many
times touched the lives Of each Of
these 16S children who were placed
on probation by the court. In q Grim
inal court when the defendant is sem
fenced the work of the court Is finish
ed, but in the Juvenile Court the work
of the probation force only begins
when the child reaches the court.

BUSY YEAR FOR

Juvenile Court Reports 747
Cases Disposed of
During Period
JUDGE GORMAN
GIVES UP OFFICE

James f. German, judge of the Juve-
nile Court in Philadelphia, who recently
resigned from that position to take effect
on June ], made an interesting address
in this city last night at the annual
meeting of the Juvenile Court Associa-
tion of Wilmington, in which he told
why he will give up the Philadelphia
judgeship.
He said that it had been his experience
where youthful delinquency was due to
poverty. if the cause was removed to the
extent that the child had a decent home
and decent food and clothing, that child
became the same good child as did those
who had normal homes and normal liy-
ing conditions.
"And in this connection | conceived
the idea that if we could have con
certed action from the various philan.
thropic and charitable organizations that
are allied with the Juvenile Court, we
could get the aid we should have TO ele-
vate these unfortnates' condition from
the State and the city. So it came Ia
pass that at my suggestion all such
bodies had representatives meet me last
January at conference on this subject
in the Bellevue-Stratford, in Philadel
phia. There was at this meeting mapped
out a program of legislation which
should be advocated at the coming ses
sion of the Legislature, and every ono
in attendance at that meeting pledged
hearty support.
."There was not a dissenting voice,
and in fact. all we're enthusiastic on
the subject. We had framed bills TO
advance the interests of the Mothers
Pension funds. and also other meas
ures that would give us ample oppor-
tunity to care for boys and girls that
we're not yet criminals and who could
be led in the right path by proper
environment and education. We were
making good progress with this legis-
lation in Harrisburg and all felt happy
at the prospect Of being placed in
shape to do good for the little boys
and girls. when. strange TO say, We
woke up TO find that our matter was
being designedly neglected. All ave-
nues for the passages of these bills
we're blocked against us, and then
personally started an Investigation
and the revelations that I made as
founded me. To think that I had beer
fOrsaken by the very people who hac
promised to stand with me in the
fight and to learn that even from the
very court of which / was a member
there was opposition for selfish and
sordid purposes was beyond my com
prehension.
"The charitable agencies did moth
ing to assist in the passage of tn
necessary legislation. They made /
appear in the Legislature that ou

asking for the increased pension pro
vision. Only the government cal
