The children are of average mentality,
and there is no significant difference
in the school accomplishments of the
delinquents and non4delinQuents. Fac
tors such as meIatel disease, broken
homes, poor physical condition and
family .disorganization have been en-
tirely eliminated by careful study of
each case.
The net result, the speaker said, was
that delinquency increased as the
native Russian institutions, such as
school, church and home, lost their
control over the children and the con-
facts with urban American life widen
ed. There is a direct correlation be-
tween contacts with city life and de-
linquency.
At the opening meeting of the Amer
lean Economic Association, at the
Washington, Or. Norman S. B. Gras
of the Harvard School of Business Ad-
mlnistration led discussion on the
evolution Of economic systems. Money,
he pointed out, did not arise first as
medium Of exchange, but as a stand
ard OF value, such as It has become
once more IN the credit system.
Never Used in Bartcrfng.
Such money as the enormous stone
coins found on the Island OF Yam, he
Salu, never were passed back and forth
in exchange for goods, and it was not
until much later that people discovered
that such stones, could be split into
smaller stones and used for coins, to
be used directly in exchange.
The United States, he said, is Lead
ing the world in the development OF
the metropolitan economic stage with
industry and commerce conferred in
great clt1eS-a stage in which European
countries, with the exception of Eng
land. have Jagged behind because of
artificial boundaries. Thus, he said, Ger
man industry built up no city like Chi
cago, because the natural metropolis"
on industrial Western Germany would
be Antwerp or Amsterdam, from which
it was barred by national lines. Ham
burg, he said, is not ideally situated
for such metropolis and hence at
temptS 10 develop it as such have not
been entirely successful.

HELEN MORGAN
NOT GUILTY
Fair Actress Weeps Without
Restraint AS Jury Brings
In Verdict

NEW YORK, April 19.-(P-
Helen Morgan, actress and enter
tainer, acquitted by a federal jury
Of maintaining 6 nuisance by the
sale Of liquor in a night club is
thmrough with night clubs forever.
After hearing the verdict which
ended her trial last night she said:
Il don't want ever to think Of it
again. I have been through such a
terrible day I want to forget al
about it. I am through with night
clubs forever"
She was trembling when the jury
came in at $50 p. m, after having
been cut four hours and fifty-five
minutes. When she heard the ver-
dict she seemed about to faint.
She began to weep softly and finally
broke down and cried without re-
straint.
Her acquittal was the second de-
feat suffered by the government in
two weeks in cases against night
club hoStesses. Last week Texas
Guinan was found not guilty OF
maintaining a nuisance at the Salon
Royale. In each case q special
prosecutor came from Washington
Miss Morgan did not testify. The
only defense witnes was her man
ager. Myron S. Nentharl, who said
she was only an employe Of the club
known as Helen Morgan's summer
home and had a contract calling for
a salary of $3.50 a week.
