GIRLS PUT TO TEST
Juvenile Laboratory Latest
Court innovation in Denver.
Decisions Based on Manner in Which
Juveniles Pass Mental and
Physical Tests.

Denver, Colo.-A juvenile laboratory
Is a new addition to the machinery Of
the courts of Denver, through which
hayward boys ant girls pass before
Judge Ben r. Lindsey. Upon the man.
ner in which the boy Or girl passes
the mental and physical tests depends
the ultimate disposal of his or her
case.
Judge Lindsey asserts that a way
ward girl has three ages. He explains
1t in this manner: A girl may be
thirteen years old, have the physical
development Of a girl Of eighteen and
the mental development Of a child b6
ten years.
The Judge says that whenever q girl
appears in his court, the first prece-
dure is to obtain her three aga.
through methods developed by me0-
ical men and Psychologists. He de-
clared he intends to make the juvenile
laboratory available to the mothers f
Denver SO they a obtain the three
ages. OF their children and use this. In
formation in providing against india
erection and possible criminality. Z
+ An appropriation has been granted
for the conduct Of the proposed lab
oratory and the. Judge is seeking tn
obtain the services Of expert psycho9-
|, ssists to take charge Of the work.
The Judge describes in this fashion
how the department already has afa-
ed one mother :: Ga +
IA mother came to me the other
dayaAnd complained that she had q
daughter of nineteen who gave her No
trouble and~a daughter Of fifteen who
desired social privileges that no moth
er could give a sirl Of her age. I tsId
her that her ffteen-year-old daughter
a nineteen biologically and had alE
the impulses and emotions Of the old
er girl without any Of the good judE-
ment that comes with later years.
1.-THE younger girl is the one who.
obeying mature impulses without ma
ture judgment, gets into trouble ON
automobile parties and at dances.
1--WE have been accustomed to
classifying girls as good and bad.
Sometimes the difference is merely
that one who came into mature life
when she was possessed Of good judy
ment is the good girl and the other
who came into mature physical devel-
opment when she was young and fool
ish is the bad girl"

ragged at the edges, and where there
had been thick fringes Of skirmishers
In front there were now a spray OF
stragglers in the rear. The, Guard
thinned out in front Of us as we
pushed on. and we found twelve guns
looking us in the face, but we were
e them in a moment, and / saw u
youngest subaltern, next to him who
had been killed by the lancer, scrib-
bling great "71's" with a lump OF
chalk upon them, like the %schoolboy
he was. 1t was at that moment that
we heard a noise Of cheering behind
us, and saw the whole British army
Hood over the crest Of the ridge, and
come pouring down upon the remains
Of their enemies. The guns, too, came
bounding and rafting forward, and
our light cayalry-as much as was left
OF it-kept pace with our brigade upon
the right. There was no battle after
that. The advance went on without a
check, until our army stood lined up
on the very ground which the French
had held in the morning. Their guns
were ours, their foot were rabble,
spread over the face OF. the country,
and their gallant cavalry alone was
able to preserve some sort of order,
and to draw off unbroken from the
field. Then at last, Just as the night
began to gather, u weary and starv-
Ing men were able to; let the Prussians
take the job over, and to stack their
arms upon the ground that they had
won. That was as much as I saw or
can tell you about the battle Of Water
loo. except that I ate a two-pound rye
loaf for my supper that night, with as
much salt meat as they wouldsiet me
have, and a good pitcher of. red wine,
until I had to bore a nav 8shole at the
end of my belt, and thensit fitted me
az tight as a hoop to-a barrel. After
that I lay down In the straw, where
the rest Of my company were sprawl
ing, and in less than a minute I was
In a dead sleep.
