Cigarette Smoking Is Direct Cause Of Delinquency in Juveniles, Court
 Officials State in Questionnaires

(By International News Service)
 WASHINGTON, Ang. 12.-Cigar- ette smoking is regarded by court officials throughout the country as one of the chief causes of juvenile crime in addition to the deleterious effect of tobacco on the health of boys and girls, according to an in- vestigation just completed by the board of public morals Of the Metho- dist Episcopal church.
 Questionnaires were mailed to judge of juvenile courts, and answers received by the board indicate that a large percentage of the officers who deal with juvenile crimes are convinced that cigarette smoking is a direct cause of delinquency.
 Others call attention to the bad effects of the use of cigarettes on school work. with resultant truancy, idieness. bad associations and crime.

 Lack of parental control is blamed in some quarters for the prevalence of cigarette smoking among delin- quents.
 An unexpected number of the court officials, however, the board stated, refer to "demoralizing motion pictures as a crime cause, some speak strongly in regard to bad con- ditions usually obtaining at pool rooms and a great many refer to the divorce evil. and the increasing lack of interest by parents in the home as a direct cause of the breakdown of moral ctsafac<er tn children"

 Fat majors puffed and swore. Lan' ky captains looked uncomfortable. Aged colonels damned the new Tangled contraptions. But the army put on the Sam Browne belt.
