There Are Reported to Police 2,OO0 Gangs With Vast Membership in City of Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. 15.-The discovery that some 2.Q00 gangs or clubs ex- ist in Chicago with an aggregate membership of 100000 boys was an- nounced today in connection with an extensive investigation of boys
 gangs" by Frederick NJ. Thrasher under the social science research program of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller memorial at the Univer- sity of Chicago.
 Mir. Thrasher lived among them for months and investigated 1913 of them, uncoverng the fact that their members. aside from carrying on criminal practices. often seek civil service positions through the in- fluence of aldermen. Many of the groups studied were organized for good influences, he found.
 They are supported by breweries, saloons and, in some cases, by ath- letic goods dealers. who derive rev cnue from the sale of sporting arti- ces to groups functioning as athlc- tic clubs, he said,
 University authorities emphasize that the entire aim of the research is to obtain data by scientific meth ods and not to develop theories of reforms.

On the handle of each basket

An Artist Who Works In Icing

Mrs. Ralph Northcutt has always
boen noted among her friends and
acouaintances for her accomplish
ments and achievements. In fact, it
is by-word among them that 'Lu-
cile always accomplishes anything
she starts out to do"
Though she has long been an adept
in the culinary art, she has surpassed
even herself in her latest achieve
ment. This is the creation of the
most exquisite flowers, buds, bios
SONS. and leaves, perfect in detail
in icing.
Mrs. Northcutt fills orders for
these for the most elegant and exclu-
sive parties at the Piedmont Driving
Club in Atlanta, where her rarely
beautiful work is much admired.
She executes these lovely designs
on cakes, large and small, and also
makes and decorates the prettiest and
most unique receptacles Gall in icing)
for ices or Charlottes.
1t is a treat to have a "look-in"
when scores of these dainty confec-
lions are in readiness for shipping to
Atlanta.
For an Easter dinner to be given
a bride-elect at the Driving Club on
Sunday evening were the most ador-
able little nests in yellow and green.
On each rested pink dogwood bios
som and a petal or two, as though
just fallen from tree above.
Beside this perched downy yell
low chick. In the nest was to be
served orange charlotte russo, with
candy robins eggs. The minis Mrs.
Northcutt had made for this dinner
were white, with a lovely pink dog
wood blossom on each one.
Wee baskets in pale blue were
edged in pink wild roses, blue VIC
let's, and other field flowers in deli
cately blended colors. Individual
cakes for wedding were iced in
white, and topped with orange bios
SONS so perfect one could almost
catch the perfume.
Perhaps the most exquisite of all
were the baskets made for a dinner
