Charges Read
Allen then asked that the trial
be speeded as much as possible,
as my employer might take 1t
amiss if remain too long away
from the gas station"
Charges against Allen were
read to him. They cited q letter
written to the superintendent Of
police, October 10, in which Allen
said:
ITO specifically answer you and
Commissioner Dougherty as to
my statement that I might in
vestigate the District Attorneys
office, I wish to state here and
now that I will investigate any
one whom believe to be trans
crossing the law as long as I am

be governed only by my desire
not to exceed my authority"
Denied I,Scess
Inspector Stoll told Allen ne
had declined to have members OF
the board questioned as jurors
because they did not serve as
such, but as an inquisitorial body.
Allen asked q three-r1inute recess
in order to prepare some remarks
of his own which he wished in
cluded in the record. His re-
quest was denied, but he was
told he would have an oppor-
tunity to make whatever state
ment he wished later.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Robert z. Lynch then inter.
rupted to say that the letter
was in the hands Of the Trial
Board and it should decide.
Allen attempted to address the
board but Inspector Stoll warned
him against delivering an grafton.

REPORTERS GAIN HONOR
Evidently because United states
Senators had charged that law
enforcement as to liquor, mar.
cotic drugs and other matters
was decidedly lax in the National
Capital, The Washington Times
investigated conditions on its ac-
count. Its reporters bought IL
uuor in 80 Washington speak
eaSies and its readers were 80 In

the addresses Of the resorts or
the names Of the keepers.
The Grand Jury Of the District
Of Columbia summoned the news
paper men to provide that In

Inendable zeal in enforcing law
that prompted the prosecuting Of
ficialS to try that easy method Of
obtaining evidence they had not
obtained by their own efforts.
Perhaps there was no desire 10

its employees for representing en-
3orcement as poor, no desire to
make official activity seem ade-
quate for once, no desire to pro
tect washington bootleggerS from
undesirable publicity on future
occasions.
But the reporters declined to
give the grand Jury the unpub-
hshed details. They could have
explained that they were not in
that business, being neither uIl-
der-cover agents nor raiders pub
Mcly employed. They did explain
that friends had assisted them

Their sentences are for Is days,

CHILD'S MENTAL DIET
(Great Falls Tribune)


1t was not so long ago that
hooks for children were confined
mostly to fairy tales and nurs-
cry rhymes, but this year $50 tit
les are listed among the books
issued especially for young read
ers. Also, a few years ago chill
dren's books were in demand only
at Christmas season, but now it
has been discovered that the
younger generation has the read
ing habit and wants new books
every month in the year.
Among the books published this
year are several modern editions
of children's classics, as well as
new books for young readers. It
is interesting to note how COM
pletely these books reflect the in
terests and enthusiasms of the
younger generation. Books on ex-
ploration and aviation. travel
books, handbooks on radio, ships
and applied science, appear on
the fall list. Many books of fic-
ton for children have a foreign
setting. The modern child roams
the world, in his favorite books.
The late Stuart P. Sherman,
who was one of Americas out
standing literary critics, made
this pertinent comment, which ev-
cry parent does well to ponder:
If at Just the right moment
present to the child just the
right food for his curiosity and
eagerness-folk-lore. fairy-tale and
song, science, adventure,
handcrafts and games, each when
he appropriate faculty is unfold
Ing-then we Ear keep him cur
ious and eager all through his
Nothing better can hap
pen to a child.
"If, on the contrary, we pro-
tide insufficient reading matter
starve clamorous faculties. If
provide the wrong books, the
child can't digest them and his
appetite for reading may quickly
be ruined. But if we follow the
low available expert advice on
he care and feeding of the child's
mind we shall find that the av-
,rage youngster is as we'll able
Is an adult to consume "a book
