Changed Her View.

Judge Kathryn Sellers of Juvenile
Court has been converted from an op-
ponent to an advocate of suffrage for
the people of Washington, she told the
North Capitol and lexington Citizens
Association. meeting in the Emery
School last night.
"At one time" said Judge Sellers, Il
believed it would be bad thing to have
the vote here. But the more l go to
citizens meetings and hear your every
! day problems discussed, the more l am
led to believe We should manage our
own affairs"
Attacks One-Man Street Cars.
During the business part of the meet
ing I. Homer Hall launched another at
tack on one-man cars by declaring that
an employe of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company told him the COM
pany had not been able to get any liza
Dlllty insurance on the SnSle-lnan car.
Mr.. Hall said he was Informed the COM
pany does carry liability insurance Oh
its twO-man cars.
MIR. Hall asserted that if his inform
ant was correct it would appear that the
Pubic Utilities Commission was NOR.

| than are the insurance companies.
Woman Members In Charge.
, took back seats last night. the meet
ing having been advertised as Ladies
night DR.. Ella r. Fales. vice president
presided in place of President Ely.
Judge Sellers urged the civic or
ganizations of the city to thrash out
their differences of opinion on pro-
posed legislation so that they may go
to Congress united. She said she
thought the Federation of Citizens
Associations should be able to accom-
plish the important task of ironing
out the divergent views of di!ferc:t
associations on question that is
before the lawmakers.
She asked the association to study
and support the several bits of leg
islation pending in the halls of Con-
gress to bring the work of the Juve-
nile Court up to date.
IF you disagree with certain fea-
lures of our bills, let us know what
they are" Judge Sellers continued.
I'VE would rather eliminate the OBJ
jectionable parts and get something
through than lose the entire bill be-
cause of diSagreementS."
Discusses Court Work.
Judge. Sellers. in discussing the
work of her court in curbing way
ward bays. declared that the young
sters of today are no worse than wer'
boys of the last generation. What is
needed, she said. is supervised recrea-
ton for the boy in the afternoon

Take two men equally guilty of

LIBRARY TYPEWR|T|NC
LESSONS ABANDONED
Bad Condition of Machines Causes
Loss of instruction for Train
ing Glass.

Owing TO lack of typeWriters. the
training class just organized at the
Public Library will be unable to re-
ceive instruction in typewriting, it
is understood.
One machine at the library has to
be held while person operates it;
some of the typewriters write double,
some skip spaces. Constant repair
does not remove these faults, it is
declared.
We do not undertake to make ex
pert typists of our students, Lii
brarian Bowerman explained. but
since it is essential that many of the
records be typewriter in the various
departments of the library. it is most
iesira bic that students should receive
instruction in the use and care of the
machines. We have always included
d certain amount of practice as part
of the curriculum. but this year we
have no typewriters that we can spare
for the use of the class
The situation in regard to type
writer's in this library would be alb
surd if it were not SO deplorable,' DR..
Bowerman added. I'VE have had no
new machines for some years and the
that the quality of the work they
produce and the time consumed in
adjustments and corrections have be-
come a serious matter. In the first
place. we have not enoug gh machines
to do the required typing. ConSe-
auently. the work sticks and hangs
while the assistants await their turn
at the typewr<ters.'
The situation, according to DR.. Bow
erman. is preposterous and consti-
tutes a most wasteful form of econ
omy. Our contingent fund he
stated. sis too limited to restock US,
though a large proportion of the ma
chimes are we'll beyond the point of
repair. The result is that the time
of the assistants is tied up to make
good their deficiencies at the expense
of the international service they
should be affording."
