SUNDAY AND JUDGE GORMAN
DEPLORE SMOKING BY BOYS

ments on Stecher's Statement.
"Billy" Sunday, Judge Gorman of the
Juvenile Branch of the Municipal Court.
ministers and church workers today ex-
pressed surprise at the statement Of
Director of Physical Education William
A. Stecher that many school boys, more
than II years of age, were addicted TO
the use of tobacco, but that the home
and not the school was the proper place
for the smokers to be disciplined. They
also questioned the statement that the
injurious effects of moderate smoking
were frequently exaggerated.
BILLY" Sunday said conditions In large
cities where thousands OF boys smoke
cigarettes were deplorabe

the evangelist. Cigarette smoking is a
stepping stone to crime, and every man

capped.
The Rev. Arthur T. Michler, pastor Of
the Luthern Church of the Incarnation,
agreed with the Director of Physical Edu-
cation.
The Rev. Mlchler blamed the cigarette
smoking evil on tobacco store proprietors
who sold cigarettes to youths without
asking whether they were of age. He
differed with Mr.. Stecher who ridiculed
the idea of ascribing the stupidity Of
every dull boy in a classroom who hap
pened to be n smoker to the fact that
he INDUCED in the weed.
"a boy who smokes, said Mr. MichleF
Is not as bright as the boy who doesn'ti
and the use of cigarettes unquestionably
affects his aptness and mentality"
Judge German does not agree with Mr.
Stecher, but admits there are many boys
in this city who do smoke because they
have not proper home training The
Judge declared cigarette smoking and
other bad habits usually acquired by boys
go hand-in- hand.

THIEVES BUSY IN NORTHEAST
Lack of Police Protection Responsible
for Activity of Robbers.

Scarcity of policemen in the northeast
ern part of the city is making that neigh
borhOod harvest field for thieves. Early
today three men walked into the cigar
store of Max ROsenbaum, of 400 Diamond
street. and asked for cigarettes When
the proprietor turned his back, two OF
the men jumped over the counter and
held him, while the third took $40 from a
cash drawer and numerous packs of cigar
cites. The trio then threw Rosenbaum into
a back room and escaped.
A masked highwayman stopped 1s-year-
old Thomas Mckinley, of ZIG Ansbury
street, on the Northeast Boulevard, at
the point OF q revolver. and rifed his
pockets. He got IS cents for his trouble
large amount of wearing apparel of
all kinds was stolen from the yards OF
Mrs. Charles Krauss, of 4558 Smedley
street, and Mrs. Walter Smith, OF 45l6
Smediey street, by a thief. who gained
entrance through the rear gates.

MERE MAN WILL SUCCEED
WOMAN MARKET INSPECTOR
Four Receive Highest Averages in
Examination for Post.

The position of clerk to the market in
spector which for some years has been
held by Miss Ashsah LippincOtt, will, UNI
less something unforeseen occurs, revert
to man again. because no woman has
qualified on the list of applicants now
under consideration.
Last week Miss Lippincott gave up
her berth in City Hall to go to Washing
ton to accept an appointment as Federal
Market Inspector, the first woman in the
country ever to receive such post.
According to the Civil Service require
ments her place will be filled from one
of the first four with the highest aver
ages. These are men. Therefore, the er-
fort which, 1t is said, the womens clubs
of the city are making to have a woman
successor fill the place are likely to prove
futile. .- ..

10 determine what has become of
300,000.000 ladybugs that were

1t is a fact well known to the
erudite bug expert of the univer-
sity that a well known condi-
toned ladybug loves to browse on
the aphis. Therefore the experts
were startled to learn that soon
after the ladybugs were let loose
in the valley they disappeared.
Explanations that they probably
had flown away home failed to
satisfy the professors and the in
