rist with a handsome gold-head-
ed silk umbrella. The token is
inscribed as follows: Members
Alexandria Bar Association to
Judge Andrews. 1920"
After the members of the bar
had assembled Judge Andrews
entered the court room accompa-
MED by Mrs. Andrews, and after

sent a token to the retiring judge
and to hear a brief address from
the judge who succeeds him.

WOMEN MAGISTRATES FOR
 JUVENILE COURTS

Women magistrates for courts deal ing with children's cases are advocat- ed in 8 report just issued by the Brit sh Board of Education, according to information received by the Children's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor.
 Juvenile offenses against the law are on the increase in England. The old methods of punishment by whip ping and imprisonment have failed. In 1916 the number of young persons sent to prison totaled 2,S00; in 1918 it had increased to 5000. Of all those who were punished by detention, one sixth were back in the court within a month. Whipping has proved even more of a failure, as one-fourth of the offenders reappeared in court within month.
 The treatment of juvenile offenders in England has been greatly improved since the passage of the Children's Act in 1908, but many of the magis- ~ fslff ' ~ T tfF rs trates have not had : synp.,thstic un- derstandins of child life and they have not been keen to avail themselves Of the many facilities for considerate treatment plsced It thsir disposal.

G0|MPERS
 MAKES STATEMENT

WASHINGTON, Nov, g. Samuel Gompers in statement made today declared that the Non Partisan policy of the American Federation of Labor was more completely justified than it has ever been by the result of the election and that the futility of sep arate party was clearly demonstrated. He further said that every forward looking man however must feel some regret for the utter defeat of the Democratic party but that he thought things would right themselves in the proper time. Meanwhile the actual ta- bulations of the results of the Con- gressional election show a definite specified gain for all to respond to, for it fills the need of the times and makes for progress. He asserted that every man whose record of service was perfect would undoubtedly be re- elected to Congress and that the in- creased percentage would be shown among members holding union cards.

HIGH JOB OFFERED

Uncle Sam is looking about for 250 young men with high school education who would like to learn the exciting profession of Army balloonist, and ev- entually become balloon and airship reserve officers. They will be paid $75 q month while learning, and receive a ration allowance of $1 a day, together with quarters, all cothing and equip ment, and free medical and dental treatment. The course is open to un- married applicants possessing high school education, or it's equivalent, who can pass the Regular Army physical examinations and the physical tests required of flying officers. .
 Successful candidates enter as ca dets and will be sent at once to the Air Service School for training as balloon observers at. Ross Field, Los Angeles, California. There each young man takes 10-month's course in bal loon observation under ideal condi- tions. He is taught how to handle his craft in all it's phases and to make ob- servations, and he eventually qualities as free balloon pilot.
 When the cadet is rated as bal loon observer he goes to Fort Sill, Ok lahoma, to receive his artillery train ing. Upon completion of this course, the student is commissioned second lieutenant in the Air Service Reserve Corps. Then he has the alternative of discharge or continuation in service as an enlisted man. There is also oppor- tunity for him to take the examina- tion for a lieutenancy in the Regular Army. If a cadet cannot finish his course successfully, he will be dis charged and not retained in the Amy against his will.
 Major General P. c. Harris, The Adjutant General of the Army, says:
 "This trainig opens up an entirely new range experience. to the young: man, and lays the foundation for qualification as a dirigible balloon pilot, a new field of almost limitless possibilities. Commercial transports tion by airship is an accomplished fact in America, and according to pres ent plans, next year will see it in act ual operation in this country on a large scale. Today the only opportun- ity for such training is either in the Army or in the Navy; in fact the lack of qualified personnel is one of the serious drawbacks to present conner. cial plans for airship transportations lines."
 Army recruiting officers through out the United States have been noti- fled to furnish full particulars to all young men who are interested in be- coming balloonists under these new conditions @ea
