"A judge with large experience with
young criminals" the commissioners re-
call, recently said: Gunner, thugs and
bootleggers are not made in day. They
are the product of homes where laxity and
indifference reign. The criminals of to-
morrow are in our homes and schools and
on our streets today - impressionable,
eager to learn and looking for hero to
worship and gang to join
The youthful criminal is the natural re-
suit Of lack of proper respect and rever-
ence for law on the part of adults. Re-
spect for authority must be taught by ex-
ample and precept in the homes. The
cheap jokes respecting the Eighteenth
Amendment and the serious arguments
advanced by some newspapers against the
observance of the Nolstead law no doubt
have had a tendency to encourage boys
III the belief that it's all right to violate
the law if they can violate it and get
away with it. There must be a general
awakening on the part of citizens every
where to better observance Of law.
A good place to begin is in the home.

SEES CHANGE IN BRITAIN
Mrs. Wright Declares Thought of En-
gland on Liquor is Revealed in
Success of Aston Bill

Speaking at the convention Of the Ca
madam National w. c. T. u. which met
recently in Toronto, Mrs. Gordon Wright
i'll her presidential address declared that
indications of change in thought in En-
gland were afforded when Lady Astor's
bill curtailing the sale OF ntoXicants to
youths under eighteen swept through the
House of Commons.
Mrs. Wright attributed the recent dry
victory III Ontario to the fact that the
province had been literally honeycombed
with energetic women workers. She fore
saw a growing strength in the temper
ance cause in maritime provinces. Mrs.
Wright declared she expects to live TO
see the abolition of all liquor sales in
Quebec as we'll as in other provinces.
She urged renewed and vigorous prohibit
ton efforts in Ontario, declaring that the
youth OF the land must be educated as to
the perils of alcohol

DRY BENEFITS WORTH WHILE
Arthur J. Davis Recounts Good Re-
suits of Prohibition, Though
Imperfectly Enforced

Superintendent A. ]. Davis of the Anti
Saloon League of New York in an adj
dress before the annual Union Minister'S
Meeting, New York City, January 20, re-
counted some worth while benefits result
ing from the prohibition law which is but
partially enforced. Mr.. Davis says that
these results are merely suggestive of
what will follow when New York state
abandons its present policy of refusing to
share the burden in connection with the
enforcement of the Eighteenth Amend
ment and inaugurates policy of real dry
law enforcement He said:
In spite of the after-war prevalence
of spectacular crimes there was an
average yearly decrease of 1917 ar
rests for intoxication in New York
City during the first prohibition years,
1921, 1922, 1923. While it is true that
other causes helped to operate in
bringing about reduction of the in
FAINT death rate in New York City,
which was 81 per 1000 in 1917, to
66.4 in 1923, it is generally admitted
that prohibition was an important
factor.
The same is true of the tremendous
drop in the tuberculosis death rate.
In 1910 to 1917 the death rate in New
York City for this disease had ranged
from 8,400 to 5000 deaths a year.
The number fell in 1919 with war
time prohibition) to 1896 and in 1922
it reached the low water mark of
5000.
Only last week Commissioner Wal
lis, of the Department of Correction,
reported that the average daily num-
Der of inmates in New York City's
prisons had been reduced nearly so
per cent during the five years of pro-
hibition.

HIJACKERS ROB STORAGE
Overpower Man on Watch and Take
Away Much Alcohol and Lot of
Carbolic Acid

Sufficient alcohol to supply weeks
demand for a successful bootlegger and
lot of carbolic acid were stolen from the
warehouse of the Rossville Company i'll
Chicago the other day. A group of hi
jackers are said to have overpowered
Waterman and to have taken their time
in raiding the warehouse, escaping with
IS drums, each holding S. gallons. The
alcohol was hauled away in five truck
loads.
A hurried examination indicated that
large quantities of denatured alcohol had
been removed with the better grades.
The police are awaiting reports of under
takers which are expected to indicate
what branch of the synthetic gin market
absorbed the loot.

HOME is PLACE TO BEGIN LIFE TRAINING
Investigators City PARENTS Many Young
Boys in Trouble With Law Seem Unconcerned; Criminals
Are Not Made in a Single

A steadily growing wave of crime is en-
quilting the boyhood of New York City,
according to a warning of the State
Commission of Prisons, in a report
made public in Albany on January Il.
Basing their conclusion on an inspection
of the Toombs prison. John S. Kennedy,
president of the commission, and Leon {.
Weinstoc<, member, declare that it was
necessary that strict attention be paid to
the problems presented by an ever-grow-
ing criminal class of youths, all between
the ages of 10 and Fl, says the New York
Herald-Tribune of January II.
A sad commentary on the bringing up
and training of boys in the great city the
commissioners said in their report. is
given by the fact that on the day they in
spected theinstitution 1O2 of the $50 in-
mates of the institution were boys be-
tween 10 and Fl years old. Many of
these youths seemed surprisingly uncon-
cerned over their predcament, the COM
missioners noticed, and instead OF fear
they displayed bravado which augurs
badly for their future use as citizens. The
report said that talks with thousands of
boys in prisons and reformatores brought
out almost without exception that they
were without religious training.
"The work of the churches among the
young boys of today should surely be one
of their greatest fields of endeavor,' the
report asserted. In connection with their
report the prison commissioner submitted
a table showing the boy population of the
Toombs from 1920 to 1924 inclusive.
Since 1921 it is disclosed, when 1926 boys
within the age limits under consideration
were incarcerated in the prison, the num-
Der has risen steadily each twelve months
until during 1924 there were approxi-
mately 1928 youths jailed.
Held for Higher Courts
at should be borne in mind" the re-
port continues, "that the numbers cited
indicate only those who having passed
through the sitting processes of the mag
istrates' courts where large numbers have
been found guilty of petty offenses, sem
fenced and sentence suspended, placed on
probation or discharged, are held for
higher courts because of the seriousness
OF their offense"

THINKS TRADE COM.
 VALUABLE ID GOVT.
Coolidge Is Opposed to Abolition
 Of Commission

swampscott, Mass July eS R,- President Coolidge believes the fed sral trade commission has useful function and he Is not in sympathy with suggestions that it should be abolished.
 It was the presidents conviction that while some of the criticism of the trade commission is perhaps jus tiled, 1t is performing a difficult task as the policeman of business and on the whole is performing a useful service to the public.
 Mr. Coolidge is of the belief that some of the practices of the com mission might well be modified so as to avoid possible injustices to legiti- mate industry and business but he has not reached any conclusions as to what change in methods should be adopted.
 President Coolidge believes it is necessary 10 have state and federal commissions like the federal trade body to handle intricate technical questions which cannot be covered in detail by legislation. There arc evils which must be remeded and in his opinion the commission plan is the best approach.
 The president realizes that the personnel of the commissions is not always satisfactory and is a target for criticism. He comedies that there Is some ground for fault1nding on this score, although he is con- vinced that changes of membership Of commissions can be made 10 rem edy the situation.

MINERS INDIGNANT AT

Declare That Advertisements in pa. pers Are Waste of Con-
 sumcrs' Money

Atlantic City, N. J., July cS Pl- Anthracite miners today condemned advertisements inserted in daily newspapers by the Anthracite Oper- | ators' conference as waste of con. sumers' money" The advertisements nts were headed: Why suspension ot anthracite mining is indefensible, " and broadcast the operators plea for arbitration and mutual pledge to continue work after September I, II scale differences had not been ad- luSted.
 Phillp Murray, vice. president Of the United Mine Workers of Ameri- ca and spokesman of the anthracite miners scale uh-committee, shortly before entering the conference room with the mine owners today made this comment:
 Every dollar that operators spend Tn such newspaper advertising is one dollar more added to the price of hard coal to the consumer. just as much as every dollar granted in a wage inCreast to the men.
 We suppose that the operators, in preparing their cost sheets as they affect production, will add to them the enormous sum they are now paying for advertising in daily papers in anthracite consuming ter rltory.
 This money might well be di- Nlded between the consumer and the mine workers--to give the con- sumer cheaper coal. and to give the miner a more livable wage"
 Operators had no comment to make on Mir. Murray's statement.

NO WAR LIKELY IN
 10 OR F YEARS
So Declares Speaker at Political
 Institute

Williamstown. Mass. July 2S Lpl-- Fear is the predominant cause of the great armies of Europe, Sir Fred erck Maurice of London, said at the Institute of Politics today. France is fearful of the Germany of today and the nations created by the peace treaty of Parts are maintaining ex- ccssiNe armies. largely due to their suspicion of Russia.
 At his second round table discus sion on the limitation of armament, Sir Frederick, who was chief of op- erations on the Brntish general staff in the world war, said:
 The cause of the present situn- ton in Europe Is not the imperial istic or militaristic motive, but funk The statesmen are placing security first in their program. Next comes arbitration and last, limitation of armament.
 France feels that she must have a sufficient force 10 be able to pounco on Germany if she thinks Germany is preparing for war. The | countries carved out of the peace trcaties-Czecho lovakia, Mgosavia and FinIand-and the existing ma. ton, Rumania, are suffering from shell shock. The number of soldiers in proportion to the population is greater than in Germany in 1913. The great majority of these states border on Russia, and the fear of Russia has been for them the i'm portant factor.
 There is general desire in Eur ope that something be done to avoid another great war. It is not prob able that another war will occur for at least the next 10 or T. years"
