MORE BAD GIRLS
THAN BOYS HERE
Judge MacFarIand Joins Fight
for Woman Juvenile Officer.
Idea That Boys Worse Than
Girls, a Mistake, He Says.
SAYS COUNTY is NEGLIGENT
Impossible for a Man to Inves-
tigate Such Cases.
Lack of Attention Making
LaSSes Enemies of Society.

Hugh Mcfarland, probate and
| juvenile judge of Shawnee county, to-
day Joined forces with the Topeka
club W omen, including officials of the
| W {. L. u, the Good Government
clLb and others, who are back of Il
movement to induce the county COM
missioners to allow the probate judge
sufficient money to appoint woman
probation officer. The need of a
woman to investigate juvenile de-
linquency among girls outlined by
Judge MacFarland, is great in Shaw
nee county, he says.
The idea that there is more delin-
quency among boys than girls is all a
mistake. says the juvenile judge.
on the down grade in Topeka than
| boys, he claims. The cost of keeping
a woman probation officer will be
about $50 a month, according to the
| figures of Judge MacFarland.
Ratio of One to Three.
| Just now there is only about one
girl brought into probate court for
every three boys said Judge Mac
F'arland. IF we had the proper ia
cilities to investigate girls cases there
enc man probation officer, Lyman
Nal ne, and we have only sufficient
funds to keep him at work about sew
enteen days out of every month. The
hour in the day is great. AS it is
Malone is doing much more work tcan
he is getting paid for.
But in regard to delinquency Of
Si' between the ages of II and 6
years. Q man cannot expect to invcsti-
gate tie cases and obtain very much
information. Delinquent or bad girls
at this age will not talk to a man as
they would to a woman. This has de-
veIopcd time after time in this Office
and for no other reason cases have
fallen flat where the girl should have
oeen sent to the Industrial school for
hen ND he Of
cIety.
Boy Has Better Chance.
"A boy can go much farther in his
delinquency than a girl can and re-
turn and be accepted by society y
girl if she is not interfered with will
be at the bottom Of the hill almost
before she herself realizes it
sta tistics show that the expense of
juvenile delinquency in this county is
all of 40 per cent less than any other
lower than in any county of 10000
less population And the low figure
is not caused by lack of delinquency.
The reply to the club women that
there are several women in the county
and city who are doing the work of q
woman probation officer for nothing
is not all correct. There are "A num-
Der of Independent welfare workers
and club women in the city who, if
we call on them, will help us out in
some cases. But there is no one 20 do
the initiative work-the investigat-
ing"
Judge Mcfarland points out that
statute SOL of the laws of 1909 gives
the juvenile court the right to appoint
one or more probation officers in
counties of more than $4,000 popula-
ton with a salary not to exceed So
a day. The probation officers. the
judge cites in the statute, are not spe

he was very young, and he hasn't a

to read the law books. he absorbed a
knowledge of law through listening to
the lectures. So earnestly had he
listened that he was numbered among
the successful one-third of those who
took the District of Columbia bar ex-
aminations in June, 1912. Later he
went to Baltimore and passed the
Maryland bar examinations.
Some of his old classmates are ar

GOSSIP OF A R E
Rubber's Dividends.

The directors of the United States
Rubber Company meet to-day at 10 A. NJ.
to take action on the dividend. 1t is
not expected that there will be any de-
lay in the announcement OF their de-
cision. There were no fresh limitations
yesterday "a to what this decision will
be. In some quarters II was stated
rather confidently that the dividend
would either be left alone or at the most
would be out from 9 70 4 per cent. For
some lays sentiment has been more
cheerful regarding the outcome Of the
dividend meeting and earlier convictions
that drastic action would be taken were
moderated. But this change in feeling
may easily be due to the check TO the
decline In the price. of the stock. Just rs
the previous depression was to q large
extent caused by tho excessive weak
ness. The fact 10 that the public In gem
eral has had absolutely nothing %
which to base opinions in regard to the
dividend policy of the company except
the action OF the stock The tape mas
suggested a cut. but not the complies
passing Of the dividend. As regards the
market position OF the stock the signs
were that profit taking by the shorts
was INDUCED in yesterday. But the
dealings were not large enough TO indi-
cate any wholesale rush to cover. The
market was nervous and unsettled. as IL
would be /" a short account were wait
ing for stock to come in and hoping
desperately for the worst. The stock
loaned at 1 per cent as compared with
n fiat rate on Tuesday. II Is on the
strength OF a supposed unwieldy short
interest that some spectators are look
ing for higher prices irrespective OF
what action nay be taken at the divi-
dend meeting. Some spectators made
bets that the stock would sell at 90
before SO.

The trading element is finding the
present market m extremely difficult
one TO squeeze the daily fractions out OF.
II is hard TO bull and hard TO bear. De-
clines bring dulness and advances ap-
parently bring stock. Prices are dead
locked. but IA to what the Oppressive

ficia.ly the market may be a little over
sold. but there Is no doubt that q con-
siderable long position IL being carried,
especially in the industriaie. The Street
Is bullish and few people think Il worth
while to consider the bear side seriously.
II is this strong undercurrent OF bullish-
ness that explains tho inherent strength
Of the market. but II does not explain
the repressive influence. Take Steel. for
instance. The public IL bullish on Steel.
the trade news has been excellent and II
Is felt that Steel will lead the next ad-
vance, Speculative sentiment In regard
to Steel is such. Il is claimed, tina an
advance in the price squarely above 60
would undoubtedly attract a huge fol-
lowing. II this is the case the mystery
Is how the price remains wher II does.
Some observers explain tho problem by
foreign selling, which. II is claimed, has
come In a steady tr!ckle.
