commissioner.
passing of the orgy of spending,
heavy sentences assessed against
persons convicted of crime, and re-
gaining by Americans generally of
their common sense, are the factors
responsible for the passing of the
crime wave" DR.. Inches asserted.
The head of the police department
pointed out that there were, 5S per-
cent fewer crimes in this city during
1921 than in the preceding year. The
percentage is based upon the major
crimes hold-ups, burglaries and
homicides.
Hardened criminals are staying
out of Detroit because of heavy SEN
fences imposed upon convicted wrong
doors but we still have to contend
with the young crop Of criminals" DR..
Inches said. "These youngsters are
new at the crime game. The war and
its attending conditions brought them
into being as crooks. Many of them
earned more money during the war
period than they ever had before and
probably more than they ever will
again. They grew used to living in
comparative luxury. Then came the
industrial slump and TO stay straight
it was necessary to lower the stand

Youngster Church Has
Successful Working Out

Indianapolis, Ind, April PA jun
ior church, the membership of which
is limited to persons between six and
sixteen years old, with the preacher
the only adult present, is being sue
cessfully operated in this city. The
plan was inaugurated by the Rev. n.
is. Sichterman of Grace Presbyterian
church.
According to DR.. Sichterman, there
are 60 children ranging in age from
six to sixteen years who are men,
bers of the junior organization. They
have their own room for services,
which are of 80 minutes duration,
and have their own officers. The plan
was put into operation in January
and DR.. Sichterman is SO pleased
with the results that he expects soon
to double the membership.
DR.. Sichterman said the idea of
forming a junior church developed
from his experiences IN church while
a boy.
My people came from Holland and
settled in neighborhood of Hol-
landers in a small Michigan town" he
said. The church l attended as
boy also used the Dutch language
and the sermons sometimes lasted
two hours or more. I well remember
how tired and restless | would get as
the time dragged on, for the sermon.
while appealing to adults, was not
such as would appeal to the child.
ut was this experience which gave
birth to the Junior church idea, and
last January I started the organiza-
ton. The results have been crafty
ing. The children have their own
board of elders, board of deacons, and
board of trustees and name their
own ushers. They also have their
own choir. I am the Only adult pres
ent at the services. The services last
only 80 minutes. which I believe is
sufficient. for 1t keeps the children
interested every minute. The hymns
and text of the sermons are such that
will appeal to the child mind"
DIR. Sichterman said he had started
the children into engaging in three
minute talks and hoped eventually to
have some of them take turns at
preaching.

colleges, has issued a very personal
questionable to its students. All stu

questions in full, and in serious, in
formative and helpful intent. The
answers will be anonymous.
The drawing up of the question
naire was in the hands of the Press
Club, and it is expected that the an
swers will give an interesting study
in psychology. The blanks are drawn
up in five sections, the first of which
relates to work. Students are asked
if they are working their way through
college wholly or in part, what kinds
of work they have done during college
and during vacations, what their av-
erage earnings have been, and, finan-
cial considerations aside, what bene-
fits they have received by their
working experiences.
Section involves questions about
Bates. Students are asked why they
oppose or favor fraternitics and So

they believe in md-ycar and final

Feminism is taken up in the third
section. Questions are: i, Do YOU

the return of the long skirt? 3. Should
women, By custom, be allowed to pro-

smoking for men and women. Their
opinion in jazz music is demanded.
they are asked for their political
