TRUANT OFFICERS
START ON LAB0RS
Many Violations of Child Laws
Are Found in Probe
by Schools

TrUant officers VIII begin searching
Monday in the stores and factories for
children OF school age that must re-
turn % school in September In order
10 get a line on an the school girls
and boys VINO found employment dur
ing the vacation months it is neces-
sary that the truant officers begin
their work month before the open
iug Of school I'm september
According to the state law no child
under the age of "a can be employed
IN any factory and store. and any
child that IS between the age of 1915
must first possess a certificate showing
that be has passed through the fifth
side or it's equivalent before he can
remain at work. The truant officers
state that they find many violations o.
this. and their present campaign is
more TO explain 20 the employers the
state laws governing the employment
Of school children than to order the
children to return TO school This last
will be done as soon as school opens
I'm the fall, when truancies are found
in the ranks OF the pupils attending
the public and parOChial schools
r. +. Wisniewski and W. c. ireland
are the South Bend truant officers. Mr..
Wisniewski said Friday morning that
the business depression of last win
ter caused more truancies than the
year before. so many parents, lg-
norant OF the school law, keep their
children who are between the ages of
A and ! 8 home TO help out in wash
ings or to run errands This Is a viola
ton OF the law, which states that all
children between the ages of IA and
Is who are not permanently employ
ed. must be IN regular daily attendance
at school"
During the last school year Mr.. Ire
land had more than 1000 calls TO in
vestigate truancies. Since January
Mr. Wisniewsk had over 1900 Ac-
cOrding to the officers the extreme west
end and east end of the city contain
the most offenders. The middle dis
tricts are well taken care of. he said.
The Perley school in the east end was
pronounced a hard district to handle.
us was the Sample st. pOrtables and
the ST. Adelbert's parochial in the west
section.
Our campaign against truancy is
one Of education for the manufacturers
and employers and parents" said Mr.
Ireland. 1T is not often that we have
willful violations, but when we do, we
prosecute and seldom fail TO get a
conviction. Such was the case last
spring when we prosecuted a number
Of farmers who hired school children
We sent them repeated warnings all of
which were of no avail and finally
prosecuted. with the result that condi-
tiOns were materially bettered"

Chamber of Commerce ana I.
A. Club Postpone Moving
Quarters as Planned.

Formal consolidation of the Ch''iii,
Der Of Commerce with the Commerce.
Athletic club viii not be effected ull'il
October. This was announced / liu"'
by Lem J. Dare. chairman OF the
consolidation committee from me
Chamber OF Commerce. Wheh me
proposition was first placed unoeL -
sideratiOn and ratified 10y both DOUlss
Il was planned TO consolidate Aus -
and move the Chamber OF OOlIliiiei
10 the c. A. G. club shortly atterWdIu u.
The reason as given by Mr. care LoI
delaying the consolidation Is IhaI lle
charter of the Athletic club expires
Aug. II. The original charter VS.
taken out by that organization Aug
Il, 1895, and held good for 20 years
Now before a consolidation can DC a.
fected the Athletic club must relncor-
pOrate before il can make any CoH-
tracts with the commerce body.
With the expiration of the Charter
on Aug. l., the law SO reads that any
one of the 112 stockholders OF the cruz
may demand that his share IN the
profits or losses of the corporation ot
returned TO him. The individual
stakeholder can demand that the ag-
gregate holdings be divided up SO that
he may receive in money the value OF
his one share. This means that sec
ond ratification of the proposed con
solicitation may be necessary. ADDED
to this there are several other lega
entanglements before the two bodies
can be permanently joined
The Chamber of Commerce is under
contract 10 pay for its rooms in the
Arnold home at jefferson and Lafay-
cite, and TO move into their new quar-
tiers prior TO that time would near
that they would have to pay double
rent. This is another reason why the
Chamber Of Commerce will not re-
move from its present quarters unit
late in the fall.
II is planned 10 make many change:
in the present equipment of the com
mercial club that there will be room
for both bodies. These renovation:
will take considerable time, and unit
they are practically finished, there
would be no room for the new organ.
izatiOn, Chamber Of Commerce au-
thorities say. 1t is expected that the
proposed changes in the club buildine
will be made this September and b,
finished in plenty of time that the

WHOSE WIFE AM
II" ASKS WOMAN
Special City Judge Hammond Faces
Rather Surprising Situation
in Court.

Whose wife am 1? How many hus-
bands have l got and upon which
one of them Will fall the responsible
ity Of keeping me from starving"
This was the somewhat startling,
not TO say EN- barrasSing question
which was put up to Special City
Judge Hammond and Deputy Pros.
Dan Nye in city court Friday morn
ing Mrs. Richard Roy of S. Mich
two men she had legally married,
since Richard Roy had claimed that
she was not his legal wife. She ad-
mitted that she had married another
man IA years ago but that he had
disappeared nine years ago.
Amt a man legally dead when he
has been gone that lOng?' she asked.
I'm scared to live with Roy, because
he has threatened to kill me and he
beats me. He gave me $1.75 about
a week ago, and that's the last cent
I've had from him. He says l amt
his legal wife and that L can't make
him give me money.
And that's what / want this court
to decide: Amt this man nay husband,
and if he amt, who is?'
The court was in quandary, and
the prosecutor was still deeper in the
mire. 1t was decided that Roy could
not be held for wife desertion since
il was not definitely decided that the
woman was his wife. The argument
that the first husband was legally
dead was shattered when Mrs. Roy
declared that she knew he had been
in Detroit since his disappearance.
She stated further that she had got
a good job, and you bet your life Pm

To HAVE COURTS
ON SCHOOL SITE
Plans Being Made to Erect
Tennis Grounds in the
Near Future.

Tennis courts will probably be
erected on the site where the old high
school building stood on W Washing
ton av. Ever since the old building
was razed last winter in order 10 pro-
vide work for some Of South Bend s
u3@ nployed the ground has been
lying idle.
1t is planned now 10 erect three
good courts on the site, using either
blue clay or macadam as "a bed, with
good tiled drain, SO that the courts
will dry off rapidly in wet weather.
Backstops of good wire screen will be
erected. The courts will be of regula-
ton size.
AS il is now planned, the posts to
hold up the nets, back-stOps, etc, VIII
be placed in Jackets" so that they
can be removed at any desirable
time 1t is the intention of the school
authorities 10 use the courts during
the summer. taking up the posts
when school begins in the fall This
is done in order that the 100 chill
dren in the grammar and high schools
may have some sort of a playground.
Calisthenic exercises in the gram
mar schools are now held between
the desks. 1t has been suggested,
and will probably be carried out to
do away with the old form of hold
Ing these GAeIClStS III the StilOOA
rooms. and have the massed drills
performed out on the grounds near
the school building. This would give
the pupils a chance for a little open
air breathing while performing the
exercises, instead of being forced to
breathe the stuffy air of the school
rooms. The windows in the rooms
now are thrown open when the eX-
ercises are held but the amount of
fresh air that reaches the individual
pupil is much less than if the drills
were held out on the ground where
the old high school once stood.
1t is planned 10 erect basketball
courts that the pupils of the gram
mar school may use. The courts
could be used late in the fall or until
winter sets in, and would be in use
in the spring as soon as they snow
left. Volley ball courts also may be
placed on the grounds.
The idea of utilizing the vacant
ground during the summer time was
first conceived after the popularity of
the tennis courts at the oliver play
ground became noticeable. Tennis
courts were erected there, but it was
expected that they would not be
popular in the west end. on the con-
trary they have been exceedingly
popular. so much so that last Mon
day morning at o'clock there were
p players waiting to use the courts.
This fact. il is said. so impressed the
school authorities that they decided
TO take up the matter with a view TO
making new courts on the available
ground on w Washington av.
