Indeterminate Sentences for
Youthful Criminals

Three Washington youths convicted in Southern
MARYLAND county recently of stealing suit of clothes and
few other articles from store and were sentenced to three
years each in prison.
These boys were not habitual criminals with bad criminal
records but they have been sent to penal institution to
remain contact with bad criminals long enough become
saturated with criminal knowledge and ways.
It is unfortunate that many States of the nation do not
provide human methods for caring for youths who have
wrong Their laws fail to give boys fair chance to become
good citizens
Fixed terms in such opposed by Hearst news
papers, which believe that sentences Of young people should
be indermnate the offenders to remain in institutions until
officials feel that they ready to live useful lives
fixed boys girls cannot leave the institutions
until their sentences have expired This does not help in
their reclamation and reclamation far desirable than
continued punishment.
In truth our laws and prison systems based
trely the idea of punishment bad idea where
youth involved Boys and girls who have gone wrong
have reached the hardened criminal stage They ought to
have chances to return the right and ought to be
encouraged to do so.

A Property Owner
Suggests Auto Policy

Editor ItnteS::
AS a regular subscriber Of
both The Times and Herald, I
wish to offer a few suggestions
in line with what seems to me
your established editorial policy
in regard to automobiles and
their owners:
/. Do away with the few
traffic lights we now have and
the little protection they afford,
thereby allowing the speed
maniacs more opportunity to
run over pedestrians.
2. Do away with all safety
zones and put a heavy fine OH
any pedestrian who dares delay
an auto one second.
8. Instead of furnishing free
garages by cluttering up the
streets all night with a lot Of
old hulks and wrecks. build
steam-heated free garages.
4. Remove even the little per.
sonal and gasoline tax now
charged the poor auto owners.
BY doing these last three
things it will enable more finan-
cial irresponsibles to buy and
drive old wrecks, thereby IN
creasing possibility of killing
pedestrians and other drivers
The Washington times., 1930-12-01

snappy and irritable. Tom,
faced with some crisis, becomes
stupid and turns yellow. Mr..
Jones makes fool of himself.
And Mrs. Flip becomes calm,
resourceful, a pillar of strength!
I'm remembering something
that happened after the big
San Francisco earthquake. The
people in the quake zone were
short Of food and the women in
the neighboring towns rallied to
their aid. Down in the Town
Hall we were busy baking beans
and boiling eggs, all of us church
folk, side by side.
Friendly Women
Suddenly into the hall walked
a group of women we had never
seen before. Pretty women, bet
ter dressed than the rest of us,
but very friendly. We looked at
them with suspicion and envy
they seemed so useless, those
fine ladies. But they weren't.
Their soft white hands we're
marvelously deft and their
laughing banter warmed our
heavy hearts. All afternoon we
worked together. We did not
know, until the men folk Joined
us, that they were the girls of
our waterfront.
You can't card file people.
You never can tell and you'd
better not try. You're apt to
hand yourself a razz if you do.
Moreover, you'll miss a lot of
fun. People are the greatest
adventure on earth, if you'll
treat them as such. Expect them
to be one certain thing and
they're bound to fail you. And
you deserve to be failed.
But let them be themselves
all their selves-and trust them
to be their finest, largest selves,
and they'll be endlessly funny
and beautiful, exciting and in
spring and comforting.

There are certain garbs and

our clothes being not more sub
ject to alteration than that Of
our speech. -Denham.

ONCE-OVERS

Anger
How foolish to lose your tenn
per in a card game when the
only stake is the honor of win
ming.
In any endeavor man makes
mistakes.
But not often does he become
so incensed over trivial matters
as he very often does over the
wrong play of a card partner.
The result of a card game
should be considered in the
spirit of a good sport.
Husbands and wives quarrel
over misplays and poor judg-
ment, and friends are strained
to the breaking point over the
card table.
To be sure, when anyone
takes part in game it should
be with the idea of coming out
ahead, else why a game?
And partners are paired so
that there may be a feeling of
contest.
But it is silly to get angry
over any gaming table, even
when the play is not accord
ing to rule.
Serious, sensible thoughtful
ness is essential to a card part
nership.
You are expected to do your
best or it would not be worth
playing.
But to fly in a rage and be at
fever heat in the race for a
prize, scowling or sarcastic, as
the case may be, and giving
every evidence Of uncontrolled
feelings as a game progresses.

Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson

You can't card file people.
You can't say: Hes this kind
of a person-or that kind Of a
person." No one is one certain
kind of a person. We all are
many kinds Of persons, and we
may do almost any kind of
thing.
You never can tell what a
person will do if you change his
environment or alter the pres
sure upon him. Perhaps he'll
go all to pieces. perhaps he'll
suddenly become all of a piece.
Whatever happens, he'll be diff
ferent. That is, he'll seem diff
ferent. Actually he won't be
different at all. But new sides
Of his nature, which you never
suspected-which, perhaps, he
himself never suspected--will
be revealed.
Quite Ignorant
Most of our troubles with
other people come because we
are ignortant Of this fact. We
make up our minds that people
are made in certain patterns,
and we expect them to act in
certain ways. We expect Alice
to be sweet and patient because
she has always been that way.
We expect Tom to be dashing
and clever. We expect Mr..
Jones to be wise and we'll bal
anced. We expect young Mrs.
Flip to be foolish and flirty and
unreliable.
They look that way. We've
seen them act that way. So
we conclude they are that
way. We card file them. And
we're plenty proud of our
ability to check them off. Then
suddenly something happens
and all our neat judgments 60
haywire.
