WALK RITE" CAMPAIGN
IS TO BEGIN DECEMBER 9
District Police and Boy Scouts to
Cooperate to Instruct Pedes-

The District police department and
local Boy Scouts are to cooperate IN
a second "walk-rite" campaign, when
is to begin Saturday, and continue on
December 9, 16 and %, in line with
the general safety-frst campaign, and
instruct pedestrians in the provisions
of the traffic regulations. The work IS
to begin on each of these mornings at
the morning rush hour. and Will con-
tine until after the evening rush
hour, with additional workers to be
used during the lunch hour.
The campaign is to be staged under
the auspices of the police department.
It's object is to famiiarze Washing
tonians with section 40 of the traffic
regulations, which reads: "(a) streets
are primarily intended for vehicles and
street cars, but drivers must exercise
all possible care not to inJure pedes-

"(b) Pedestrians should avoid inter-
ference with traffic, and to this end
should not step from the sidewalk

stain upon them. Had they been allowed
10 plead guilty and have been put on pro-

little less harsh. The plan adopted was to
hold off legal action against them during
good behavior: that has been three years
ago and all are doing well.
Mr.. Laskey emphasized the serious
ness of this problem to the commune
ty. He spoke of it as a "nota BILE tend
ency to crime, evident at this time
among boys of the National Capital"
He did not know the remedy and urged
that attempt be made by the citizens of
Washington to solve the question.
The causes, too. he considered diff =
cult to analyze. The motion pictures,
he said, may be partly responsible. But
he thought the greater responsibility
rests upon parents who give their boys
too much liberty to run loose. not ask =

Situation Becoming More Difficult.

What to do in such cases, ne said, is
hard problem for him and for the
court He found it best to deal lenient-
ly, when possible, with individual
cases: but the situation is becoming
more difficult in the light of repeated
offenses.

that this was formerly called bur

by the milder term ''housebreaking."

There must have been an element of
boyishness in the prank. Mr.. Lasky said.
for they freely confessed all crimes when
confronted with the evidence in one case,
recited each his own part in the ''ad

Yet on the other hand their methods
were those of proficient criminals.
Two of the boys would ring doorbell;

Attention to Increasing

1.-THE prevalence of crime among we'll

ton of this Glass; was the theme of John
+. Laskey. United States attorney for
the District of Columbia. addressing the
MidCity Citizens Association last night
at meeting in the United States Savings
Bank building, 14th and L streets.
Mr.. Laskey stated it as a fact of
record that crime is increasing among
boys of respectable parentage, who ought
to and do know better. He quoted the
comparative figures of several years of
such offending showing notable in
creases, and cited the circumstances of
several cases.
The "joy-riding'' law, relating to the
taking of automobiles without consent of
owner, he pointed out. carries the max
imum penalty of $1,000 fine and five years
in the penitentiary. This drastic law. Mr..
Laskey observed, should prove a deter
rent. Because of its very severity the
courts have been lenient in passing judg-
ment, especially in instances where the
taking of such an automobile without
consent bore the aspects of a mere boy

Want Gull Publicity" in Future.

/ A resolution was adopted requesting
the board of Commissioners in future
dealings of similar character and inn
portance to a vicinity to give full pub
licity before proceeding to take definite
action. The publicity proposed was ad-
vertisement in the daily press.
The recent death of Louis P. Shoe
maker was made the subject of resolu-
tons of sympathy for the family.
Thanks were extended to POSTMASTER
Chance for his hospitality upon the
occasion of the recent visit of the or
ganiza ton to the city post office.
Endorsement was given to proposed
legislation providing for retirement OF
public school teachers. The matter was
referred for further consideration 10
the school committee.
On motion of President A. J. DrIscoll.
the organization approved proposal
to ask the District Commissioners to
include in their annual estimates a
provision for free text books in the
high schools 1t was pointed out by
Mr.. Driscoll that Washington is one
of the few places where the pupils must
pay for their books.
Approval was also given to the propo-
sition of President Driscoll that vacant
lots be turned into city farms. Mr.
Driscoll cited many instances of vacant
properties available for truck garden
ing.
On motion of Wade NJ. Cooper, the or
ganization also declared in favor of
half holidays on Saturdays all the year
around for government employees.

Often Deliberate Thefts.

But, he said. in many cases the deed is
not boyish prank, but done with de-
liberate evil intent. For instance, not only
are automobiles not returned to the vicin-
ity whence taken, but are left far away.
and devices removed. which are acts of
deliberate theft.
There We're four such cases in 1915,
he said, coming before him, where the
culprits were between the ages of IL
and II years. This year, SO far, there
are fourteen cases. a case pending
makes charges against nine boys in
instances where ten machines We're
taken. One of these boys is implicated
in all the cases, and the others are
grouped in various ways in the other
cases.
Mr.. Laskey set forth his difficulty to
know what to do in such cases Being
a matter of felony, the cases are not
disposed of in Juvenile Court, but are
passed on to the grand jury.
1t must be heartrending, he OBJ
served, for respectable parent with
confidence in the decency of his chill
dren to find that his son has done such
a deed and made himself liable to the
brand of felon to find that his boy
has gone wrong and been dishonest
and placed himself in a position where
the law can reach out and put him in
confinement.

THIRTY-SIX YEARS OF SUCCESS
IN THE COMMERCIAL LIFE OF
BLACKS ART STORE

Inlrty-SlA years ago witnessed the
opening of Harrisburg's first exclusive
art store, to-day known as Blacks
Art Store. The initial location of
Blacks Art Studio, as it was then
called, was in the Shakespeare Block.
on the site of which the Harrisburg
Telegraph Building now stands. That
was back in the early days of 1880.
The second address of the Art Studio
was No. North Market Square but
was soon given up because larger
quarters We're necessary and the busi-
ness was moved to its present location
which now occupies the three stories
OF the building, at III Market street.
Mr.. Black the proprietor of the Art
store is one of Central Pennsylvania s
leading artists and huge collection
of oil paintings and water colors is
the result OF many years OF study and
application. In Mr.. Blacks collection
will be found many scenes along the
picturesque Susquehanna, innumerable
sketches of the winding rivers and
rock-bound coasts of the rugged old
State of Maine and many beautiful
scenes painted by Mr. Black on his
visits to Holland and other points of
interest on the Continent
In Blacks Art Store will be found
the largest and finest selection of pic
turC mouldings of any art store in the
city carrying at all times, from six
teen to twenty thousand feet. Mount
ing picture" says Mr.. Black, re
quires the viewpoint of the artist Just
as much as does the painting of the
picture. How many pictures do we
meet in the homes of our friends and
acouaintances that really bring out all
that the artist intended they should
express? Nine times out of ten, the
weakness lays with the frame OF
mounting"
In the thirty-six years of his busi-
ness, Mr.. Black has rutored art
students to the number of 1900, rep
resentative of every State in the
union.
In addition, Mr.. Black Is equipped
to t1re china and in this department
he has numbered among his patrons
some of the most exclusive homes OF
Harrisburg and vicinity.-Advt

About eight years ago, c. B. Shope,
owner and proprietor of the City Shoe
Repair Shop. located at Is North
Court street, opened a small one-man
hand-bench shoe repair shop in the
rear of the Jerauld Shoe Company.
Gradually the business expanded and
machinery, then modern, was INSTALL
ed to take care of the increasing pat
ronage. AS new models of the ma
chimes came out they were installed
by Mr.. Shope until he was maintain
ing the most complete and up-to date

part OF the State The original loca-
ton with the Jerauld Company was
occupied until about the first of the
current year when larger quarters
we ermade necessary. At that time
Mr.. Shope looked about him and
found that with careful remodeling of
a ground floor room in the rear of the
Patriot building, moro convenient and
accessible quarters were available.
More machinery was added, new men,
experienced in the art of shoe-rebuild-
ing we're placed on the pay roll and a
