KINDNESS IS CHECK
TO JUVENILE CRIME
Former Judge of ChiIdren's
Court Pleads for Support OF
Juvenile Association.

A kind word spoken by an older
person often would keep boys and
girls out of the courts and from ul-
timately becoming delinquents, ac-
cording to L. Wilmer Latimer, former
Judge of the Juvenile Court, speaking
in the interest of the Juvenile Protec'
tive Association, which is soon to
make a public appeal for financial aid.
Judge Latimer was president of the
association in 1918.
"'The Juvenile Court Is doing an
important work in tho study of cases
coming before 1t and to solve the
problems where children have had the
misfortune to become subject to
court discipline" said Judge Lati-
mer. -7Everyone in close touch with
children's courts realizes that many
times the opportunity for rendering a
lasting service to the child comes too
late. when the child reaches the court,
and is convinced that more thought
and effort should be given by the
community to preventing the necessity
for the interposition OF the court. II
the Juvenile association receives the
support II deserves, much can be ac-
complished. often all that is needed
is the companionship and guidance
OF an intelligent and interested per.
son who will be n big brother or a
big sister"

AD.MEN WARNED Of

Charles Edward Russell Pleads
Against Class Lines at
Dinner Meeting.

Declaring that the underlying
symptoms that preceded the economic
collapse OF Russia are today being
manifested among workers all
through the United States. Charles
Edward Russell, noted journalist and
author, last night warned members
OF the Advertising Club of Washing
ton against any tendency toward class
distinction, Mr.. Russell was the
principal speaker at dinner meet
ing held at the Dewey Hotel.
THE greatest calamity that could
befall the United States would be a
stratification of society--a division
into classes" he declared.
1--WE have no such thing. II Is folly
to talk of such a thing as the work
ing class In a Democracy we are
ell workers.
"The underlying symptoms OF what
brought on the chaos now overwhelm-
ing all Eastern Europe are now
among workers all around US. The
war was a tremendous eniightener to
the working man. He came to realize
his Importance to the world and will
now never go back to his conditions
of life before the war. He is being
goaded on by his sense of injustice
to he knows not what.

to meet and settle II.
"I see growing in twenty-six cities

Dor. That is a deadly practice and
can bring good to no one.
cooperative management of In
dustry has been successfully tried In
many places That opens the way
for us to national unity, security, and
propesity.
again / say, there can never be
such a thing as class strife In the
United States for in a democracy as
ours, 1t is one for all and all for
one"
Following the dinner the members
OF the club staged the Temple of
