DIR. Porter says. 1.-The skins, which

PRINCE CAROL

SPARKS, Aug. 25.-European di-
plomacy is following closely the
movements of Prince Carol of Rou-

will select Switzerland and Holland
for centuries the adobe of political
and religious exiles, or France as his
future home.
During the summer months the

spent most of his time at Hony"t
and his new villa ut Coqsur- Mer,
near Ostend, in Belgium. His diff
culties with the British govern.
ment, it is considered, has made
his refuge in England virtually i'm
possible. The Belgians have treated
him with great respect, his numer
Gus difficulties have evoked q
traditional sympathy, and it is not
unlikely that the father of the King
of the Roumanians will find Il per.
mancnt adobe there.
This will not be opposed by the
chancellories of the rest of Europe

WOMAN JUDGE
DENIES MODERN
YOUTH IS WILD
By United Press Leased Wire

MEMPHIS. Tenn, Aug. 20
Youth may he irresponsible, ard st
times bit wild, but the dangerous
age is nearer 70 than Il. in the
opinion q Judge Camille Kelley,
second woman juvenile Judge in
America and the first in the south.
Judge Kelley. who in her seven
Years as Judge Of the Memphis iu-
Henile court has heard thousands of
eases. believes the youth of today
are better disciplined and more law
abiding than ever before.
We talk about youth being fast,
but parents are miles ahead Of their
children, - Judge Kelley said. We
censure children, but it is the fast,
middle-agcd group that should be
censured and pitied.
''Thcrc is nothing So pitiful as the
man or woman whose p"nt-up child
hood energy breaks out in a new
place at 10, She said. Thy have
earned the paths of crime that III"
younger generation never dreamed
existed.
" Petting parties, drinking and
automobile rides into country lanes
are not responsible for one-tenth as
much juvenile delinquency as the
lack of proper home influences.
Modern youth has been labeled
wild. - and they have come to be
lieve they really are wild Why
the dear children are mere am:-
teurs compared to their elders, >
Judge Kelley said.
. A new world has been opened to
the youth of today. Most girls
know more ut Il today than their
mothers did ut -. Youth is going
through a period of adjustments and
read justments to modern conditions.
"Youth doesn t just naturally fall
into the paths OF crime or usefull-
ness. 1t is led and influenced and
if the parents leave that important
duty to the back-lot playmates of
their children, the blame is theirs,
cit may be an old story, but the
greatest source of delinquency is
the broken home and the separated
mother and father. If parents
thought less of their own selfish De,
sires and more of the happiness Of
their boys and girls there would be
fewer Juvenile dclinquents. = JCdgc

SURVIVOR TELLS
OF HIS FOUR BIG
SUB ACCIDENTS

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 25.-After
having been in four submarine dis
asters during his five years with the
navy, c. II. Redding, 2s, Milwaukee,
is still very, much alive. Through
out his navy service Redding was
assigned to submarine duty as IN
electrician.
Redding was on the Sis when it
went down with an open hatch off
Bridgeport, Conn.,, with 43 men on
board all of whom were rescued af-
ter fighting water and gas fumes
for II hours. The thing that stands
out in Redding's mind is the droll
attempt of q machinist s mate to
sweep back the ocean with a
broom.
''Thc sub went down for deep
dive but the hatch had been left
open,' he said. Water poured in.
This machinist mate was sweeping
up water with a broom and was un-
aware of what had happened, a
we all were for several minutes.
He kept sweeping and sweeping
but the water got too much for him.
Finally he went into the control
room and told the Officers he
needed Il mop. We soon learned
what had happened then. y
When the Re sank in San Pedro
liarbor in 1922 after some one in
advertently had opened I torpedo
door, Redding was just coming on

OSBORNE TO AID
EFFORT TO GET
INCREASED FUND

Hugh r. Osborne, chairman of the
agricultural committee of the cham
Der of commerce, has been instructed
by that body to assist and cooper
ate with the Farm Bureau in its
efforts to obtain larger appropria-
tions for state experimental work
in Imperial valley. The Farm Bur
eau will have two delegates at the
Riverside meeting next month to
present their claims and Osborne
will go as an cat large" representa-
tive of the FL Centre chamber to
urge favorable action.
The need of more experimentation
with crops and cultural methods
here has long been recognized. Much
work remains to be done in bringing
in the testing new plant varieties
and determining their usefulness
and adaptability to desert condi-
tons, In addition, there is much
chance for valuable information to
be obtained about prevailing crops,
and the handling of staples, such
as barley, wheat, cotton, milo maize,
Many details as to the planting, ir-
rigation and culture of the greater
field crops remain yet undecided.
With larger appropriations, many
phases, now in dispute, could be es-
tablishcd, and the growers of this
region gain thereby.
Osborne is very hopeful of the
result of the Riverside meeting, and
he believes the valley delegation
can present satisfactory evidence of
need here for further experimental
tion, on larger scale, and convince
those in authority that more work
must he done along these lines.
Reclamation of alkali soils is one
of the problems which must be at
/ tackled in the irrigated valley of tho
! southwest, and state and govern
mental aid for tests of reclamation
methods and practices will also be
considered at the Riverside gather
