.21-YEAR LEGAL AGE
SCORED BY GEORGE
Founder Of Junior Republic Says
at Age of Is Boys and Girls
Are Ready to Govern.

Declaring that the unrest and
irresponsibility of youth was caused
by the law prescribing 81 as the legal
age. w. s. George. founder OF the
George Junior Republic, in a speech
before members of the Women's City
Club Friday, said that until toy
is Is he may he a Boy Scout and get
good civic training. but that from
Is to 81, although fully grown. men
tally. physically and biologically, he is
still an infant in the eyes of the law.
The George Junior Republic was
orga nized. according to Mr.. George, to
give young men and young women
from the ages of Is to 81 some train
ing in economic and civic RESPONSE
bilty. The parent orga nization is at
Freeville, N Y, where 125 young
people live In a village which they
themselves govern. They hold cleo
tions, make laws, enforce the laws
and earn their own living. The con
stitution of this republic is framed on
that of @e United States. and the
laws are those of the State of New
York, together with any they make
themselves.
Children of poor families, orphans.
those who are hard to control and
other such young folk are taken into
the Junior Republic.
NO boy is too tough for the Junior
Republic to handle" said Mr.. George.
"One of the toughest boys In Boston
came to the republic, and after being
put in Jail and otherwise Strengthened
out he finally became president of
the republic, and is now very prom
inent man in the affairs of the
Nation"
According to Mr.. George. sons of
very wealthy families also have been
members of the republic. They get
no more than the others, however, he
explained, for every one is paid for
what he does, and if he is lazy he
starves and goes without clothes until
he earns enough in the coin of the
realm to buy what he needs.
There are several junior republics
as SUCH" said Mr.. George. They are
located in California, Pennsylvania,
Connecticut. England and France
The movement is growing, and we
have self-government creeping into
colleges, high schools and the like"
Miss Maude Frances presided at the
meeting, which was given under the
auspices of the child welfare and
public health committees of the

is "a step in the right direction" to.
ward better enforcement of the
eighteenth amendment. the National
League of Women Voters declared in
commenting upon the passage of the
prohibition unit reorga niZation bill.
Miss Elizabeth J. Hauser Of Girard
Ohio vice president in charge of the
leagues department of efficiency in
government, declared the league has
always supported the merit system in
civil service as the most effective
means of securing an able corps of
workers in Government service. The
league believes the civil service rem
edy is one most likely to improve en-
forcement at this time, Miss Hauser
stated.
The knowledge that the eighteenth
amendment and tn Eolstead act are
not being adequately enforced is so
general that no statistics are neces-
sary to convince any one on that
point" Miss HauSer said. 1T is
enough to say that both sides to the
prohibition controversy recognize that
enforcement of the law up to the pres
ent time has been far from complete.
Almost every one would agree, also,
that enforcement of prohibition has
become one of the major tasks of the
Federal Government, and that We are
passing through recognized crisis
with reference to prohibition. Nor
does 1t require much marshalling of
evidence to convince any thinking per.
son that in too many cases politics
mas entered into prohibition"

KING OF NEW YORK" DEPARTS
TO STUDY PARIS NIGHT CLUBS
Barney Gallant Seeking New Ideas After
Saratoga Springs Colony Asks Him
to Open Center There.

just for 10 minutes at a ball given by
Mrs. William Randolph Hearst IN
Paris. She doesn't quite see why
she should debase her art to the point
of appearing before people who pay
only $3.50 for balcony chairs. That
is the main point Of debate between
Barney and herself.
That-and the fact that Barney
would like to star her in a new Holly
wood version of Carmen" or some
other story of Spanish passion Lar
gentina" has no yearning whatever to
appear on the silver screen.
Studies Partisan Methods.
While he was in Paris Barney by
no means played a one-stringed violin,
however. Spanish dancers are one
thing but the cabaret business is an
other, and after all Barney's heart
Is mostly wrapped up in the art of
making people enjoy night life in
America. Therefore he spent a lot
of time studying the artful wiles en-
ployed by Partisan night joints to
separate the customer from his cash.
One thing that impressed Barney
nightly was the famous Paris
cabaret called the "Boeuf Sur LIE
Toit"-the COX on the Roof" This
particular place is crowded night after
night, even to the point of covering
all but the last nine square feet Of
dancing space with tables.
Wonderful, wonderful" Barney ex-
claimed. How do they manage to

get people to come to a place where
there isn't room to dance? And no
attractions. Why. in New York"
Gained Literary Fame.
"Shut up about New York" shouted
an individual at the next table. wait
till New York hears that it's the lat
est thing to have no dancing space
and no entertainers"
Gosh" replied Barney. Maybe
they're right. Maybe they think they
themselves are funnier than any
show we can give them"
The fact is that the COX on the
Roof started as literary hangout
and people have been going there ever
since in the hope of seeing some
literary celebrity at the next table.
The literary people gave up going
there about four years ago, but the
crowds have continued.
'One thing is true. however" re-
marked Barney, by way of self con-
ISOLATION. Gin is lot cheaper in New
York than it is in Paris. We get
authentic English gin for a dollar a
bottle and sell it at dollar drink.
In Paris it costs SO bottle, and you
can get a cocktail anywhere in town
for quarter.
"In such circumstances l ask you,
who's crazy?"

SEWING SHOP URGED
AT NATIONAL SCHOOL

Installation of a first class sewing
shop with proper equipment at the
National Training School for Girls, so
that all clothes needed by the va
rious divisions of the Board of Pub
lie Welfare can be turned out by the
inmates, is suggested by the Federal
Bureau of Efficiency in n report to-
day to the District Commissioners.
The sewing class at the school, the
bureau explains. has been making
simple garments for wards of the
child welfare division since March
which excel in quality and workman
ship those purchased under contract
and at a lower price. A new order for
81 dozen dresses recently was given
the institution for making during the
Summer, it is said. and the completion
of this order should demonstrate the
practicability of making any type of
chidren's clothing except boys heavy
suits and overcoats.
"If successful" the report declared,
"a first class sewing shop with proper
equipment should be installed at the
school, not only for the clothing
needed by the child welfare division,
but also much of that used by other
divisions and institutions of the Board
of Public Welfare may be made in
this shop"

PARIS, July 16.-Barney Gallant
more popularity known as the king
of New York" sailed suddenly this
week on appeals from the fashionable
Summer colony at Saratoga Springs
to come and jazz things up there by
opening a night club along the lines
of his famous Greenwich Village es-
Enlistment.
Barneys place. the Club Gallant"
was raided last January and an order
was given by the local authorities to
paddock it for six months. However,
by special dispensation three months
grace was allowed by the New York
police, and the order did not take eff
feet until April. AS Barney remarked:
II never open until the end of Sep
TENDER anyhow. This padlocking was
just what / needed to have a Summer
vacation"
Barney Gallant has been Summering
in Paris and London. incidentally he
has been doing business. For besides
being proprietor of the most daring
and at the same time the most c0nser'
vative-night club in New York, Bar
ney is theatrical impresario. He
was, for instance. one of the original
hackers of the Greenwich Village Fol-
los
