CONS|STORY WILL
Be HELD IN MARCH

Rome, Jan. 21.-Vital importance
was attached today to the announce
ment that the pope will hold another
consistory In March.
This is understood to be another
step in the pontiff's peace program
though ostenslbly II is for the pur-
pose OF comforting the red hat upon
Monsignors Scapinelli OF Vienna and
Fruhwirth Of Munich.
The pope, it is believed, desires to
inform himself about the conditions
and possibilities for peace in Vienna
and Bavaria. His action In having
representatives from these two points
continues his plan Of comforting with
cardinals from the warning coun-
tries in the hope that from these ses-
sions may develop tentative peace
program.
Diplomats OF the allied nations
view with concern the creation Of
these two new cardinals. because OF
increasing the Austro-G German repre-
in the vatican.

The matter OF leasing the bath

the ordinance putting the privileges
OF the city park out OF the hands OF

about to pass, but Councilman Burke
came forward with an objection, stat
ing that ho could see no reason what
ever for turning the park over to
private interests. and he registered
vigorous opposition. Bnrkhalter
said that the most valid reason he
could see for the action was the fact
that the city would be relieved Of all
responsibility in the matter, Burke
retorted that II this was the attitude
Of the council, then the swings had

THE TRUANT OFFICER.

There is q movement under way
for the cooperation of the county
through the county court, the muni-
cipality and the school district for
the employment of q juvenile truant
officer who will see to the enforce
ment Of all laws having to do with
minors. The proposal is said to be
for the payment Of such an officer
upon the basis Of one half by the
county, and the balance equally by
city and school district. The coun-
Gil has already approved the plan,
and has appointed a committee from
It's body to work out details. the COM
mittee being composed Of Messrs.
Demaray, Burkhalter and Burke.
Such plan as that proposed would
undoubtedly work to great advan-
tage. There are adequate laws upon
the statute books for the control and
guidance OF the youth, and for the
checking of their evil propensities,
but they are difficult of application.
The officers feel a hesitancy at taking
action against juvenile offenders with
the machinery that is employed in
dealing with the hardened criminal,
and as a consequence the boy or girl
proceeds on an unchecked course till
they come to point where they can
be no longer overlooked. This juven-
lie officer would know whether the
BOYS and girls who ought to be in
school were there, and II they were
not attending could take such action
as might be necessary to enforce at
tendance. A boy out of school with
out cause becomes at once an advance
agent of mischief, and from the ranks
come the recruits for the courts.
Parents do not or can not always give
children just the home training they
should receive, and left to follow
their own inclinations, these children
become public menace. The protec'
tion of the public as we'll as the wei.
fare Of the children is served by pro
viding someone whose particular dut!
1t is to enforce certain provisions o
the law. Neglect makes a crooked
boy just as it makes crooked tree
