A piece of pie hit Grandma in the
eye. 1t was large and juicy, and
it came across the room from the
hand of Jimmie, her 16-year-old
grandson.
You'll never know the real name
of Jimmie, because the Juvenile
Protective Association does not
make public the names of the peo-
pie whose cases they investigate.
And from the case mentioned above
one might think the association
should change its name to that or
the Grandmothers' Protective Asso-
citation. Incidents like the above
are common in the experience of
the association.
The association was founded in
November, 1916, by Judge J. Wilmer
Latimer of the Juvenile Court. 1t
is not part of the court. however,
and is maintained by private sub
scription. Active membership costs

At present there are about 500
members. although nearly $4,000 has
been subscribed. There are three
paid workers: Mrs. Edna B. Bu'
shee, executive secretary; Miss Dor
othy H. Allen, field worker. and
Miss Edith NJ. Harlan. stenographer.
Mrs. Whitman Cross is the presi-
dent of the association this year
and there are twenty-one directors
selected by vote from the MEMBER
ship. The annual election and re-
port will be the first Friday in No
vember.
There are 100 voluntary workers
who report and investigate condi'
tions brought to their attention.

"Ridiculous" declared Secre
tary of War Baker yesterday
when he heard government en-
ployes sought to hush cabinet Of
hcers' political chatter by strict
enforcement of-athe civil service
rule preventing political activity
on the part of government en-

Baker said that If such a rule
could be. made effective on cab

special dispensation from the
President" 49,,
The demand for strict enforce
ment of the rule came from
Charles NJ. Galloway, former
Civil Service Commissioner, and
James T. Lloyd, speaking for the
Employees Union.
The Civil Service Commission
recently warned the union that
attacks on members of Congress
were endangering its position.
One notable attack was that
made against Senator Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, who opposed
the minimum wage bill.

series of box a robberies. will prob
ably be recovered, according to The

Lord said that he knew nothing of
the situation there and did not wish

visited the camp. He said, however,
that under the contract entered into
by the miners and operators the fifty
cent bonus could be taken off If il
was shown that the commissary was
operating property. One of his chief
duties will be to inspect the commits

RICH vein OF GOLD
IS FOUND IN WALES
Problem Is Whether the King
Will Claim 1t as of
Yore.

The discovery of a rich vein Of gold
near yarmouth, Wales, bids fair to re-
vive the old question as to whom do
the mines containing gold belong?
Gold has been discovered in the
Welsh hills at many places In the past,
but IL has seldom been worked for
long. The discovery usually has been
followed by a claim from the crown
for the greater part OF the product,
and the miners have not found the
business a paying one
Some years back Mr.. Prichard Nor
gan invested a considerable sum In de-
veloping some of these mines. but the
authorities claimed the greater part
of the output. and though the gold
seeker sought the aid of the courts he
lost his case on the ground that all
gold was the property of the king.
Since that period little attention has
been given to these gold bearing dis
tricts. Just before King George V mar
ried Queen Mary a certain amount OF
work was done with the object Of col
lecting enough Welsh gold to make
the wedding ring.
The new discovery is said TO yield
quartz giving WI ounce of gold per
ton. The question now is. will the
king grant a license TO work the de-
post on terms that will allow the pro-
moters TO be repaid for their expendi-
ture Of capital and labor costs7
