Judge MacNeille, Of the Juvenile
Court OF Philadelphia, viii speak in
the New Century Club parlors Deem
Der IS, at SIS o'clock on Juvenile
Court work. This will be an open
meeting. No tickets are required, and
the general public is invited to be
present
Judge MacNeille is an unusually in
teresting speaker. and few understand
better the great problem OF dependent
and delinquent children. He believes
the future well-being OF the COM
munity depends largely on how this
problem is handled
In speaking OF the Juvenile Court
and its probation work, Judge Mac
Nellie says: "In this wonderful mod
ern movement I'm which every attention
and every help is being given to the
boys and girls, the courts function is
to teach them to help themselves and
help each other. The work OF the
Juvenile Court begins where the work
OF the old court stopped. The old
theory was when you removed child
from a home you went on working
with the child and paid no more at
tention 10 the home With our work
the moment we find a home producing
children that need the care OF the
State, We attempt to build up that
home and make it decent. We do not
propose to let that home exist in this
bad state and still feed into us these
other children. TO remain a rotten
spot in the community, spreading its
contagion to other homes.
"a great step forward is in using
probation officers, and using them 10

NEED SKILLED wORKFRs.

The lack Of proper housing
facilities for the men who come TO
work for them and the difficulty Of
obtaining skilled labor are two things
which stand in the way OF further de-
velopment OF the plant OF the VIII
mington Steel Company. according
20 officials OF the concern. That in
two years the company would have
from three TO four thousand men on
its payrolls was a prediction made.
One OF the officials stated that in
order TO overcome the disadvantage
Of having to get along without skill
ed labor unskllled men would be
trained and skilled workers would be
brought here from other Midvale

aill be.
In addition 10 their big squadrons

road stations. Many independent eN-
pressmen have been engulfed by the
demand. much to their advantage, and
are helping in every way possible to
get the tons Of purchases TO their
destinations.
Fortunately many shoppers realize
that business has exceeded all eNpec-
tations, and IN order to expedite mat
ters are carrying small bundles and
packages home themselves.
The railroads, steamboat lines and
suburban trolley roads report that
traffic has been OF the record-break-
ing order for the last few weeks, and
they are preparing TO handle still
larger crowds until Christmas Day.
While the high cost OF living is still
one OF the chief topics OF discussion
throughout the entire country, IL does
not appear TO cause any hesitancy
among the Christmas shoppers who
are quickly buying che best OF every
thing in sight.
AS one salesman expressed IT, "mosi

and are so eager 10 obtain Il that the
