Latin proverb in sano Is not an idle
saying years there has been feeling in this
country that there has been too much commercia1ed
professionalism In the sporting world. while in the
schools colleges and universities the number who par
tcpate in games has been all too few, and the
Amateur Athletic Association has had It's hands full IN
keeping professionalism out OF amateur sports In the
schools there has been a woful disparity between the
number perched in the bleachers and the number

The Tribune yesterday referred to

empires, containing half OF Europe's
population, are politically united; It
dwelt on the fact that a dual league

have Justice and orderly civilization.
But Il may not always DO. II Is no
time to neglect opportunities. Berlin
and Moscow may be counted on to
plan ceaselessly TO detach some
other nation and to give their league
a preponderance OF force.
But this IL not all. The compact
also says other things. on this
country. for example, It lays the

ONE OF the handcaps suffered by Rehoboth IN the

have done so much damage Is that It never has had
enough money OF its enough financial aid from

will be realized fully No should forget, however
that s24sOO is a small amount OF money to employ In

THAT DETENTION HOUSE NEED.

VV7ILMINGToN's Juvenile Court has made fine
w record for achievement in the matter Of dealing
with the denquenoies OF boys and girls That has been
especially true since Judge william Prickett became
its nresding genius Therefore, we doubt that
members Of City Council who place proper value upon
child life and character will look with sympathetic
favor upon the application that has been made by the
Juvenile Court Association for $4,000 with which to
build and equip detention house for young offenders
No one who has watched the work OF the association
the and who is acquainted with It's present
equipment doubt the need for such house Our
opinion that the question which will be considered by
Council will be its ability to the request out OF
the city at this time. One thing Is how
ever, and that lie that later the detention
house will and that will used to the great
benefit OF Juvenile delinquents.

The alternative Is to participate

ment or a participation that will
