SOCIAL SERVICE CLUB ANNUAL
SESSINN

Tri-City Social Service club in an
nual session at the Rock Island Y. NJ.
C. A. last evening selected the fol-
lowing officers for the coming year:
President-Rev l. o. Nothstein,
Rock Island.
Vice president-Mrs. ". H. Gest,
Rock Island; Mrs Josephine Barn
hardt, Moline; Miss Clara L. CRANE,
Davenport
Secretary-Miss Dina Ramser, Rock
Island
Teasurer-Miss Edna Flanagan,
Rock Island.
After supper at $50 and the cleo
ton of officers the study of juvenile
court work was taken up with DR.. j.
NJ. Browder, probation officer OF
Davenport and Miss Dina Ramser OF
this city as speakers. DR.. Browder
said that those coming under his care
are delinquent and he emphasized the
fact that the juvenile court is not in
tended to judge but to be of assist
ance as in a great majority of the
cases all that is needed is that he eth
/ er go 10 the home to speak to the
/ parents or III more dSSIdE dlSu CdSSS
1 have them come to his office. In many
cases the environment of the home is
such that the child has not the chance
/ he should have. The court does not
/ want to separate parents and child eX'
cept in extreme cases and in many
/ such cases threatened or temporary
/ separation usually results in improve
ment of the home. 1t has been showI
that in homes where fathers and SOM
are chums delinquency is rare. II
cases of dependency the parents alone
have to be dealt with. The laws agains
desertion and non-support are grad
ually being made stronger and witt
such laws enforced it will be harder
for a man to neglect his family.
Miss Ramser told of the Juvenile
Protective association of Chicago AM
its work. The league is for the pro
lection of children before they meet
the juvenile court The city is divide:
into districts and in each district is
paid worker and also volunteer as
sistants. They are supposed to fin
anything Objectionable such as sio
machines, stores selling tobacco Il
minors and gambling places. This as
sociation has done so much good tina
other cities are following the example
Ct Chicago in their establishment.

could keep your child. The boys WERE
rude not to recognize their introduc-

to talk about your nationality. Bear in

Big Headlines Do Not Make A
PAPER yellow"

One of the greatest changes
that have come over American
journalism in the past few years
is the gradually but steadily dis.
appearing ''yellowness" of some
of the great metropolitan dailies.
Despite the great war in Europe
and the exciting times we are
otherwise going through, there
is a distinct absence of yellow
ness and undertaking.
Newspaper headlines are, of
course, big and even flaring, or,
rather, they were in the begin
ming of the great war. But if
ever such headlines were justified
it was then. The European war
is the greatest human upheaval
the world has ever seen or is
ever likely to witness again.
Therefore headlines that might
have occupied half a page would
have been justified.
That sensationalism was for
merly overdone by various organs
must readily be conceded by any
impartial observer.
However, there is to be con-
sidered what the public wants in
its newspapers. The American
tendency is to look with favor on
a lively newspaper, and if live.
illness means big headlines, why,
of course, let us have them. The
immense circulation of the SO
called "yellows" in our big cities
indicates how widespread is the
fondness of the public for stories
