William Watson, a discharged private and chum of Archies, is main taining the gIard.
 Messages Continue to Come,
 Flowers and messages of coincidence continue to arrive at the Roosevelt home in Oyster Bay. Among them have been many wreaths from repub- and from soldiers in nearby camps. While some of the wreaths were being placed upon the freshly turned earth an airplane flew hundred feet over- head and dropped a wreath of autumn leaves. It landed precisely upon the grave. The aviators continued to cir cle the cem metery during the day.
 Cables and letters are arriving hour 1y from abroad and here from army and navy officers expressing their sym pathy. Among them was one from General Pershing which read:
 | Dear Mrs. Roosevelt: Tn the un- timely death of Col. Roosevelt the whole nation will deeply mourn the

nocence or to obtain help from
reputable outside sources. She is
even permitted to set the date or
the hearing of her case
These circumstances are cited by
the court in defending itself from
certain charges made in a recent
case which aroused great deal OF
indignation throughout New YORK
and raised a question as to the fair
ness of methods employed by the
court. This was the case of two
young JeWesses who were arrested
and brought into court for solicit
ing soldiers in front of a large
Broadway hotel. Subsequent facts
seemed to show that the girls were
innocent-that they had merely
been INDUCING in the questionable
pastime of picking up" couple OF
companions-but the court had no
way of knowing this. The girls re-
fused to get in touch with their
families or to give any information
whatever. Eventually, one of the
probation officers. who spoke Yid-
dish, went to see their mother, who
Immediately raised great agitation
and secured their release. They
are now talking of suing the police
department.
Chief Functions of Court.
A few days after this happened,
however, a woman about As was
brought into court for the same rea-
son. She was a woman of apparent
refinement, with good family con-
nections, and the women of the
court feared that once more there
had been a mistake. A physical ex-
animation of the women put an end
to any doubts, for it showed that
she was yenereal. The records show
that 80 per cent of the women heard
in this court are suffering from
venereal disease.
This. of course, is the CHIEF func-
ton of the court, to get hold of dis
eu;ed women, to cure them, and to
prevent them from injecting the
rest of the community. Just how
far the court is accomplishing It's
purpose is hard to determine, but
the women believe that if they res
cue only a small percentage of the
Offenders the work is worth while
The assistant district attorney be-
lieves that segregated districts
would help to solve the problem in
New York. Alice Smith, chief pro-
baton officer of the court, thinks
that education is doing more than
ANYTHING else to remedy conditions
THE war has set US so years ahead
in this respect" she says. Women
are now looking facts in the face
calling things by their real names
and prudery, which is responsible
/ for SO much of the worlds vice, is
being stamped out"
At that moment there entered Wis
ible proof of her words-a young
girl of nineteen, with a fresh
charming face, who took seat or
the front bench and calmly pro-
| ceeded to take notes. She was So
ciaI welfare student at large New
York university, and she had come
to attend the afternoon session
you are not very busy this after
noon" she remarked to one of the
male attendants, a young man who
is trying his best to be transferred
to another court before his hair
| turns gray.

COURT WOMEN
SHOCKED WITH
EACH new CASE
Are Not Protected With Shell OF
Cynicism Despite Number Of
Maynard Girls.
BY FREDERIC ]. HASKTNg

New York, Aug. ST it were
your business to hear the cases
Of dozens of prostitutes, shoplifters
and hayward girls every day in
the week, would you still be able
to keep your faith in human nature?
Would you be able TO leave each
narrowing session of the court
room with the unchanged convic-
ton that life was distinctly worth
while, and that somewhere there is
a spark of nobility in every soul?
The women officials of the wom-
ems day court of New York do.
One afternoon in this court is
enough to turn the average person
into a profound pessimist. He leaves
it in a state of settled gloom, I'M
comfortably conscious of the fulfil
ity of existence in general and OF
vice crusades in particular. Even
men employed by the Women's
court can't stand the strain very
long. AS one of them remarked,
You get so you're shoddin' tears
with one eye and shootin' daggers
with the other" So they have to be
transferred. But the women-the
Young assistant district attorney
who prosecutes the cases, the pro-
baton officers who follow them up,
and the police women who supply
the testimony - all marvelously
mango to maintain their normal
outlook. The hard shell of cynicism
which most people cultivate to
protect themselves from the I'M
pleasant aspects of life these wom-

shocked at each new evidence of de-
pravity as If it were something al
together new to them, and thus
they are able to meet each case with
a fresh ourburst Of sympathy.
When asked how she managed to
maintain such a cheerful attitude in
the face of constant establishment
and disappointment, one of the pro-
baton officers replied, you have
to. If you don't, you're absolutely
no good in the work. AS soon as you
begin to get hardened, it's time to
quit"
Continuance of Night Court.
The women's day court is con-
tinnance of the women's night court
Of New York. The sessions used to
be held at night, because this was
the time the majority of the women
were arrested. They we're brought
Immediately to the courtroom, and
their cases settled as quickly as
possible. 1t was found, however,
that the night sessions were much
harder on everyone concerned than
day sessions. so now they are held
IN the day time. The court is in a
downtown building which was for
merly a church. In fact, it is still a
church. so far as architecture is
concerned. The magistrates bench
is directly in front of a carved pull
pit, and the sunlight which occas-
ionally lights up the faces of the Of
tenders filters through stained
glass windows. Even the benches
are pews. The culprits are brought
through a vestry room, where the
church's choir was wont to fore
gather, and are heard by the Judge,
after which, if the case is not dis
missed, they are taken to another
vestry room on the other side of the
pulpit, or bench and delivered to
the probation officers.
The first case the other after
noon was that of a good-looking
young girl Of 16 who was brought
to the court by her mother. The

SURPRISED Her
SHE DECLARES
Mrs. Petit Had No Idea Any Medi-
cine Could Help Her As
Tanlac Did.

''Tanlac is the best medicine
have ever seen, and 1 have tried
many different kinds since my
health failed 80 years ago." said
Mrs. Mary Petit, who lives at GIL
Avenue B, Galesburg, Ill.
Il can truthfully say" she con-
tinued, that during all those years
was not able to sit down and eat
a hearty meal without suffering
afterwards What I ate would
sour on my stomach. and cause gas
to form so bad that I would be in
perfect misery for hours at time.
Sometimes this gas was so bad
that it would almost cut my breath
OFF. In addition to this, 1 had
rheumatism in my arms and legs,
and sometimes the pains were so
severe that 1 just thought 1
couldn't stand it another minute. I
was badly constipated all the time,
too, and had to take a laxative ev-
cry day OF course, I was under
treatment. and was taking medi-
cines all the time, but instead of
getting better, just gradually
grew worse.
"One day my daughter brought
me a bottle of TanIac, and told me
that she had read and heard so
much about it that she just felt
like it would help me. had no idea
that TanIac would do me any good.
In fact, I was so discouraged over
my condition that l didn't believe
there was a medicine on earth that
would ever overcome my troubles.
Anyway, I commenced taking Tan
lac, and to my great surprise, I
commenced to feel better in very
short time Why, before had fin
ished that first bottle, would ac-
tually be hungry when woke up in
the morning, and would eat
hearty breakfast. I Just kept on
taking Tanlac and now my trou-
bles are all gone, and I haven't felt
SO good for many years. My appe-
tite is fine, and 1 eat three big
meals every day and never suf-
fer a particle afterwards. The
rheumatism is gone, too, and I
never have an ache or pain of any
kind now. My entire system has
been greatly built up, and am so
happy over my wonderful improve
ment that I tell every body meet
that Tanlac Is responsible for it"
