Child Crime a Problem.

NEW YORK, April %, 1776.-The
juvenile delinquency problem, which
has been giving law enforcement OF
ficers much anxiety Of late, was
brought before the committee of safe
ty in concrete form today by the re-
ceipt of letter from Isaac Gedney. a.
Tory, now detained in the White
Plains jail. Mr.. Gedney makes a plea
for executive clemency and pardon
on the ground that his imprisonment
is endangering the morals of his seven
children. He writes:
Gentlemen: | am to acknowledge
your kindness in removing me from
the New York Jail to this place, but
am still unhappy in being detained
from my family. who at this season
want my assistance very much. 1t is
not only the aid ! might give. in keep
ing my interest together tall of which
has been earned hy the sweat Of my
brow. but adding happiness to my
family and saving a large family OF
children from running into many
vices. You. gentlemen. who have fam
lilies know the difficulty Of keeping
youth within hounds when with them.

pearance, az we'll as for my peaceable

of the law. I can. and shall with pleas

and know my interest daily sinking
without one single advantage to the
publick that / can conceive, renders
me much more unhappy than the bare
suffering OF being confined.
IF you. gentlemen, can with pro
priety give me enlare ement, you will

and seven children, and lay under OBJ
legations your unhappy and very hum
BILE servant. ISAAC GEDNE1.
The Tories are very clever at in
venting pleas for pardon or for re-
lease on probation, but Mr.. Gedney' 8
appeal contains an argument to
which the committee Of safety will
give careful consideration, notwith-
standing the multitude of duties
which demand it's attention.
The child welfare problem In Tory
families has thrust itself forward
many times before. Some of the
Wings are saying that children should
not he allowed to remain under the
influence Of Tory parents in any case.
The proposal has in fact been made
that children Of Tories be removed
from their homes and held by the
pubiick as pledges for the good be-
havier Of their fathers, but this policy
has few advocates.

HOW 1T STARTED
Don't Start on Friday.
by JEAN NEWTON

We may he empha tically not su-
perstitious. yet many of us. other
wise sensible and up-to date In our
way OF thinking, will avoid starting
on Friday even something so trivial
as being measured for a new coat.
Out Of the unnumbered mysticisms
and superstitions Of the past, this Is
one Of those that have survived into
our enlightened day.
The superstition that anything
which ts began on a Friday will be
attended by i'll luck has preslsted
because Friday was the day OF the
CrucifXion.
Centuries later came the time
when human life was held cheaply
when not only kings but In many
communities land owners had the
power of life and death over their
vassals. Public executions We're on
the order OF social events. which
neople attended almost in the spirit
that one attends the ball game today
And II is from the circumstance
that Friday was the popular exc
cution day" that the day acquired
the onus of being attended by mis-
fortune. and people came TO fear
for the fate OF any venture begun
on that day.

Garter in Struggle for Existence
By MARY MARSHALL.

Dolls heads appear on some OF the
newest garters. Sometimes they ap-
pear in the center of a sort of rosette
made of narrow ribbon which re-
semblee the upturned brim of an elab-
crate headdresS.
Cut steel buckles are liked by some
women for garters made of satin rib
bon trimmed with narrow black lace.
There are some women who still
consider garters necessary accessories
for all times and occasions and go to
much pains always to have garters
that match their frocks and are in
keeping with the occasions when
they are worn. They would scorn a
brightly colored. ornate garter with
a simple dark tailored frock AS they
would avoid fancy gloves for such an
occa sion.
