DEAL JUSTLY WITH CHILDREN
Almost Every Country Now Has
Courts to Handle Cases Of Juvc-
nile Delinquency.

The example set by the United
States in establishing juvenile courts
has been followed by all the princi-
pal countries Of Europe. Spain, the
last to fall in line, has adopted the
modern viewpoint that delinquent chill
dren should not be treated as crimi-
nails, but rather as victims OF adverse
conditions and surroundings. In work
Ing out the details Of the law, Spanish
authorities have followed Americas
experience, according to information
received by the children's bureau OF
the United States department OF
labor.
Under the Spanish law the children's
Judge Is not necessarily a member OF
the bench. He is assisted by two ad-
visory members appointed by the COM
mission for the protection Of children.

ments. The half mill levy which
finances the reclamation revolving
fund is entirely ins adequate accord

The board approves the modifying
Of the land settlement act SO as to

determined by the board, but in no
case less than the state would pay

The Navipendulum.

One of the problems which naval
architects have to confront is the roll
ing Of a ship on the waves. and the
"navipendulum" Is an invention for
dealing with it experimentally.
The apparatus consists of two
parts: A plate to which motion cor
responding to that Of portion Of the
surface Of a wave IL impaired. and .
pendulum Of a peculiar shape which
rolls upon the moving plate in the man.
ner Of a vessel supported by water.
The same pendulum can be made
to represent different vessels Of given
size and shape by adding or removing
artificial resistance to the oscillatcry
motion.
This instrument has been employed
to study the rolling Of the Italian bat
tleships as we'll as those Of other
countries.
