AT THE QUEEN

When Ben B. Lindsey as juvenile
judge in Denver was trying to awak-
en- the public to the terrible facts
of juvenile delinquency he was a
target for all kinds Of attacks. Cler-
gymen thundered at him; politicians
threatened him; scandal mongers
aSsailed him. Lair, charlatan, no.
toriety seeker" they shouted. 1T
couldn't happen to my girl.
Yet Judge LINDSEY was telling the
truth-always. And he was helping
and shielding, saving the daughters
Of some of the very people who SO
bitterly attacked him. It could and
it did happen to their daughters,
and it cal happen to almost any
mans child unless the parents can
be awakened to the danger that
confronts the youth of today. The
Road to Ruin" which opens at the
Queen theater today for three days,
is a very frank and straightforward
presentation of the facts of juvenile
delinquency and affords serious food
for T <4snt for all parents as well
as containing a tremendous warn
ing to all the younger people.

Being Written BY
Sexton For c. Of c.

A $4,000 word history of the lower
Rio Grande Valley is being pre-
pared by Harry L. Sexton, former
employe of The Brownsville Herald,
and now clerk to the minority lead
er in the house of representatives.
The book will be published by the

Sexton is well acquainted with the

The book is expected to take in all
the early events when the Valley
was little more than an outpost on
the border and carry on through its
present development.

MARKET HURTS
TRADING IN
COPPER
By MERRYLE s. RUKEYsER
NEW YORK, May ~.

TIME direction Of the copper i'm
dustry In the last year or two
- has been such as to have
made 1t a highly speculative trade.
Apparent unwillingness Of Lead
ing factors to exert stabilizing
influence on prices during the
recent ephemeral runaway ad'a

that numerous executives had tnelr
eyes on the stock ticker, rather
on the longer term prosperity OF
the industry. :
The legal association Of COM
petitors in the copper export
association helped to establish q
meeting of the minds which may
conceivably have dwelt on ques.
tions Of output. As matter OF
fact. the conflict between the
domestic antitrust laws and the
webb Pomerene act, which author.
ICES cooperation among compett.
tors for purposes of promoting
exports, creates an atmosphere OF
unreality.
Nevertheless. new era" policies
have proyed unable to suspend
the economic law Of supply ana
demand. The rise Of Copper to
"a cents a pound two months ago
has evidently greatly stimulated
production from all sources. Even
the less efficient mines, which .
cannot operate profitably on ave
erage prices, were brought into
competition by the climb Of quo
,tations for the red metal to fan
tastic figures In the last two
months the urgent forward buy
ing of the metal has substded.
