Modern American Capt. Kids will

reamed of. Divers are to be sent
o the bottom of the sea booking for
thousands OF dollars in gold and
ther precious minerals, lost in sub
aarine sinkings.
British divers already are recov-

sunken vessels. American naval
alyage crews will begin this work
Ioon. Navy officials here indicated
esterdsy.
Little hope is entertained of rails
ng hulls OF sunken vessels by
tmerican navy men. Great Britain
as begun this work, but navy offi-
ials here point out that the United
tates lost comparatively few ves-
els and that only small percent
ge of vessels sunk lie in water
hallow enough to make raising
perations practicable. Rich cargo,

LET YOUR KIDS FIGHT IT OUT
AND AVOID ACTION IN COURTS
Police Judges Believe Many Troubles Could
Be Settled Without Legal Advice If
Sound Judgment Prevails

washington parents, while not
necessarily expected TO raise their
sons TO be soldiers. yet at the same
time, they are expected to teach them
to fight their own battles and fight
them without interference on the part
of their elders.
During the past few months the
patience of both Judge Hardison and
Judge Mcmahon in the Police Court
has been sorely tried on this ques-
ton. Judge Mullowny and Judge
Pugh. when they sat on the bench
in the Police Court, had the same
trouble.
Advice Given Freely.
Don't raise your boy to be a pa
cihst. II he gets into a fight with
another boy OF his own size and age,
let them fight 1t out, provided, OF
course, they use nothing but their
fists. Fighting your sons battles now
means that you will have to keep on
doing it when he Is grown"
This advice has been handed out to
dozens of Washington mothers. 1t
will be handed out by the Police
Court Judges every time the occasion
requires. Yet 1t does no good what
ever because almost every day in
court the old, old story-Mrs. Browns
little boy hit Mrs. Jones' boy and
Mrs. Jones took the law into her own
hands and padded the Brown boy
and then Mrs. Brown has Mrs. Jones
arrested and the whole AFFAIR is aired
in public. much to the irritation Of
the judges.
Recently six different persons faced
the judge charged with assaulting
some neighbor's child. In every case
the parents had interfered with kid
fights when they eughr not to have
done so. Pampered children are, Of
course. at the root of the trouble. Mrs.
Jones' boy Is usually a pet and never
does anything wrong" while Mrs.
Browns boy is a regular tough guy"

and will fight at the drop Of his hat
or anyone else's.
There have been, within a recent
period, some rather serious assault
cases growing out of the interference
of parents with their children's DIM
culties.
Let Him Fight.
Many parents never stop to find out
why the0 "dariing'' came home with
his nose bleeding or a black eye and
his clothes torn, but Immediately &C
after what they think is the cause of
the trouble and whip some one else's
child. and then are arrested and
brought into court
Whole neighborhoods sometimes
come into court because Johnny Brown
resented Tommy Jones calling him
some bad names.
Singularly enough, the neighbor-
hood bully" is hardly ever the
cause of a family squabble being
aired in court. It is the ordinary
everyday children. who can and will
fight their own battles, IL left alone,
who are the cause of their parents
being brought in to answer charges
OF assaulting other children.
The advice from the police court
is this-"Teach, or compel your chill
dren to do some of their own fight
ing. Do not embarrass yourself or
your neighbors by taking up for
your children when they are to
blame for starting a fight, and then
coming into court.
Parents are just as bad as their
children when they paddle some-

and teach him to paddle some other
child when the occasion requires 1t.
DO not get rash when your own
child is licked by some other child

ness to do. Children are all human
