BOY PURSE SNATCHER
 ADMITS HIS OFFENSES
(From Fridays Daily)

AL E. Jamison, youthful purse snatcher who was trapped here re- gently after having robbed Mrs. Gary Vyne and Mrs. Fanny Ewing Scott pleaded guilty to the charge when arraigned before Judge Sweeney yesterday. His sentence will be imposed on Tuesday, the court announced.
 Jamison was the center of an in- teresting to do here recently, when, after having filed the complaint that led to his arrest, Mrs. Fanny Ewing Scott, a pioneer mother of this state, interviewed the young man and announced that it was her conviction he should be reformed, not merely punished. She held that it was better to place Jamison under benign influences and let him straighten up than to put him with criminals and let him absorb the lore of the underworld to his ever lasting moral damage. The effect of her representations will not be known until the court passes sen .tence early next week.

LAST MONTH, FOR RE
 INSERTING POLICIES

Helping him to help himself IS the thought in the minds of Red Cross chapter workers when they discuss reinstatement of government insurance with ex-service men and urge them to take up their policies.
 December is the last month in which. men can rcinstate without medical examination and the Amer ican Red Cross ill the Pacific divis- ion is cooperating with the district office of the federal bureau of war risk insurance and American Legion posts ill getting the detailed infor nation before the men to interest them in the insurance plan.
 The reinstatement of government insurance by the cx-scrvicc men is far-reaching influence in the com munity and has direct economic value. In case of death beneficiaries of the men are left with an assured income whereas in many cases they might otherwise become definite charges upon the community.

CONTRAST PLENTY HERE
 WITH THE WANT THERE
CFrom Thursdays Daily)

While Americans are enjoying plenty ill this great land, serious thought should be given to the ap- pcat for the little children in Europe who actually face starvation. It is not an easy matter for those asked to work upon the various drives to continually be asking for funds, but there is not a rcd-bloodcd American who would not be willing to give d few cents when they are told that ono lone dollar will save the life of a child over there, for period of 30 days. It provides a bowl of coup for their .stomachs, at the very least
 The chairmanship for Prescott is in charge of Mrs. William Green wood and she asks the earnest con- sideration of this matter by the people of Prescott. Surely at the Christmas season, it is not easy to picture the lives of these children, the number of which has been esti- mated by Herbert Hoover, at three and a half million The system em plOycd III the handling ot food IS that perfected by the organization under Hooyer's direction, after six years experience ill the same kind of work. A small staff of Americans supervise the work, while the actual administration of the relief is ill the hands oi one hundred thousand of the ablcst men and women in the countries assisted. Competent mcdi- cal direction insurcs that only rchil- drcn actually suffering from under nourishment are fed. This relief operation is more than charity, for it restores morale in the Euro pcan countries and it saves a large portion of the coming generation from succumbing to tragedies from which the whole world, including America, would suffer.

HOLIDAY PARDON FOR
 WAR VETERAN BEQUETTE
(From Fridays Daily)


 With Christmas close at hand, and the holiday spirit influencing the actions of everyone, the courts are no exception to the rule, and should be inclined, without, of course, making any attempt to thwart justice, to be lenient in de- serving cases.
 Such, at any rate, was the scnti- ment back of the action of Judge Charles H. McLane, who yesterday dismissed Arthur Bequette, an over seas veteran charged with purloin- ing tickets from the Santa Fe office at Kirkland recently.
 Judge McLanc stated that in view of the fact that none of the pur- Joined tickets had been sold, but that all had been recovered and re- stored to the railroad, that the pris- oner had already passed q month in jail and that he was an overseas veteran suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis lcniency was in order So he concluded that a month or jail was punishment enough. and gave the prisoner a Christmas pres cnt by releasing him.
 Bcqucttc's excellent army record. looked into by Judge McLauc, was also instrumental in securing his re- lease
