Denounce
Cigarette
Smoking Direct Cause
of Delinquency In
Juvenile Courts Is
Report

Washington, July 29.--Cigaret-
te smoking is regarded by court
officials throughout the country
as one of the chief causes OF
jouvenile crime in addition to the
deleterious effect of tobacco on
the health of boys and girls, ac-
cording to an investigation just
completed by the Board Of Public
Morals of the Methodist Episcop-
al church.
Questionnaires were mailed to
Judges Of juvenile courts. and
answers received by the board in
dicate that large percentage
OF the officers who deal with
juvenile crime in addition to the
that cigarette smoking is direct
cause OF delinquency.
Others call attention to the bad
effects OF the use Of cigarettes on
school work, with resultant tru-
ancy, idleness, bad associations
and crime.
Smoking tends to break down
the health and to cause abnormal
viewpoints and moods, and thus
lead indirectly to crime in the
opinion OF some judges, while
others say that the use of cigar
cites by minors is an effect Of
idleness and truancy rather than
a cause.
Lack OF parental control Is
blamed in some quarters for the
prevalence OF cigarette smoking
among delinquents.
An unexpected number OF the
court officials, however, the
board stated, refer to "demoraliz-
ing motion pictures as a crime
cause, some speak strongly in
regard to bad conditions usually
obtaining at pool rooms and
great many refer to. the divorce
evil, and the increasing lack OF
interest by parents in the home
az a direct cause of the break
down OF moral character in chill
dren."
