Frankness Held Wholesome Trend.
1t is true hiatt the explorers did spot a
hip flask here and there and they found
that youth isn't what 1t was in the days
of crinoline and musk. There was a
new and startling frankness, which
might seem quite shocking to an Older
generation, but this new outlook, on
being more carefully examined. was
appraised as wholesome trend rather
than a factor Of moral deterioration.
Field workers of the association have
covered many large cities and many
States" said Ray G. Everett, editor OF
the association Journal. Through our
educational groups they have studied
various phases and tendencies of
American youth. Their reports are
altogether encouraging They do not

nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, Mass, January l8.--An ur-
successful attempt was made late yes
tefday by Mrs johanna Mccarthy sis
ter of the late Mrs. George Herman
Ruth, to prevent Watertown police from
surrendering to "the Babe" or any one
else, any "jewelry, letters, diary or other
documents" belonging to Mrs. Ruth
until an administrator for her estate
had been appointed. A petition to this
effect was filed with Judge John G.
Leggat of Middlesex Probate Court, at
Cambridge, who refused 1t on the
grounds that Mrs Mccarthy was not a
legal heir to Mrs. Ruth's estate and that
there was no evidence to show that any
belongings of Mrs. Mccarthy were
among the personal effects In the hands
of Watertown police.
Chief John Milmore of the Water
town police had previously declared he
would not surrender any Of the personal
effects Of Mrs. Ruth, which were brought
to his office after the fire In which
Mrs. Ruth was fatally burned, without
court order, or to duly appointed
administrator.
