injecting of actors and actresses,

Producing Managers Association,
who, under the leadership of Sam H.
Harris, have refused to accede to
Equity,s terms. Mr.. Gilmore said that
after June 1 they would no longer be

PUBLIC TO DISCUSS
7 Welfare TOPICS
Commission on Legislation Ar
ranges Program to Stimu-
late Interest.
QUESTIONS WHOLLY LEGAL
Views on Juvenile Delinquency
Laws Chiefly Sought.

The commission on public welfare
legislation last night made public
seven questions to be considered at
the public hearing III the board room
of the District building at $3.50 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon on the proposal
TO revise the Juvenile Court law of
the District.
The purpose of the hearing is TO
get the constructive views of the
people as to the desirability of re
vamping the law and in what re-
spects it should be rewritten. The
statement issued last night sets forth
that the commission wishes to con-
fine itself strictly to the legal aspects
of the problem.
In order to stimulate interest in
the hearing. the commission outlined
these queries for considerations:
"Shan the Juvenile Court law be
amended so as to eliminate there
from all phraseology which is com
mon to criminal procedure, and shall
the procedure itself be changed from
that which is criminal in form to an
equity or chanery proceeding which
Is nonIcriminal.
Jurisdietion Extension.
"Shall the jurisdiction of the Juve-
nile Court be extended SO as to in
clude all offenses committed by chill
dren? The existing law excludes from
the courts jurisdiction those offenses
which are capital or Infamous or
which are punishable by imprison-
ment in the penitentiary.
The existing law defines de-
linquent child as one who has been
convicted more than once of violating
the law Shall this be changed so
that the court might have jurisdic-
tion over the child who has violated
the law on not more than one occa-
sion"
"Under the existing law the Juve-
nile Court may commit only to the
training schools and to the board of
children's guardians. Shall this power
be enlarged so that the court may
commit to any agency that seems de-
sirable?
"shall the Jurisdiction of the juve
nile court be enlarged so as to in
children than those now provided for
in the existing law, and if,so. what
types of cases should be so included?
Punishment of Adults.
rs the present law satisfactory in
its provisions with reference to the
trial and punishment of adults who
contribute to the delinquency of chill
dren?
Shall the Juvenile Court law apply
to all children under the age of
eighteen years."
William HodSon of the Russell
Sage Foundation. who has been act
ing as consultant to the commission,
has submitted preliminary report
dealing with all of Washington's well
fare problems In that report he
characterizes the present Juvenile
Court law as ''indefensible' and rec
ommends that a new statute be
drafted embodying modern principles
of dealing with juvenile delinquency.

Of this state to hear OF timber being

without any reference whatever to
the amount of lumber or cordwood
there is in the woodlot, and regard
less of the value of the product in
the market. Very often a portable
sawmin outfit passes through a COM
munity; the woodlot owner who per-
haps needs TO raise little money
hears of it and offers his timber for
sale or perhaps a timber buyer, one
who knows the value Of timber has
noticed a good piece OF timber and
approa ches the owner with an offer.
AS a result the timber is sold much
less than il is really worth, simply
due TO the lack of knowledge of TIM
Der values and how such values are
determined.
For many years it was thought
impossible to learn how TO estimate
the contents of a woodlot without
years of practical experience in the
