Boy Bandits.

Juvenile gangs" are not new IN
washington. though their purpose and
the particular form Of their activity
have changed somewhat in the course
of the years. Forty or fifty years ago.
and earlier indeed, gangs developed IN
neighborhoods, particularly those peo-
pied by the less afluent members Of
the community. These boys reigned
over their areas and sometimes went on
raids into the zones of other gangs.
Battles between them were frequent
and fierce, with stones usually as
weapons. Sometimes these gangs went
in for robbery, but as a rule they were
not criminally inclined, though they
made life miserable for neighbors and
often damaged property seriously.
The gangs that have lately been
broken UP by the police are OF DIFF
ferent sort. They are imitators OF the
adult racketeers and crooks who have
been thriving In such large centers OF
population as Chicago during recent
years. They have even taken over the
names Of some Of the widely known
leaders, such as Capone. They break
into houses and stores, rob tills. set fros
and are altogether pretty mean In their
performances. The average age Of
these bands of pilferers and destroyers
would seem TO be about fourteen or
fifteen. One band has lately been iden-
tilted In which the leaders have the
ripe age Of seven years.
Internationally this sorry condition
is duesto the initiative propensities of
adolescence. These boys have read much

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHrLANDER JOHNSON.

The Happy Medium.
I love TO hear the highbrow
Making great opinions known:
I sometimes wish that my brow
Were lofty. like his own.
Yet my feeling never mellowS
When he leads the learned hike,
AS when talking with plain fellows
Such as Jim and Bill and Mike.
I don't commend the lowbrow
OF the rude aSsertive kind.
I am satisfied that no brow
Should conceal q vacant mind.
But when erudite orations
Leave me mystified, like
The lucid observations
OF plain Jim and Bill and Mike.

COTTON MAN SCORES
FARM BOARD CRITICS
E. F. Creekmore, Co-operative's
Manager, Charges Sales Dip
Due to Poor Quality.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, April 25.-E. r.
Creekmore, general manager of the
American Cotton Cooperative Associa-
ton, today defended the Federal Farm
Board against recent attacks by cotton
shippers.
"Shrewd and determined attack has
been made, and Is now being made, by
the cotton shippers of the South on
the agricultural marketing act, the Fed
eral Farm Board and the cooperative
movement" a statement issued by Mr.
Creekmore said.
The cooperative movement, he as
serted. had been charged with respon-
sibility for loss in consumption Of
American cotton in foreign markets
and the increase in consumption Of
foreign growthS, but the shippers must
realize the trend toward consumption
Of foreign-g growth cotton started sew
eral weeks ago and was well defined in
the 1923 season, some IL months prior
to organization Of the Farm Board"
"They must realize" the statement
continued, "one of the prime factors
in the decreased consumption Of Amer
ican cotton Is the continued deteriora-
ton Of the quality Of American cotton
and the improved quality Of foreign
growths-yet they would have the pub
lie believe the Federal Farm Board is
entirely responsible for the trend to-
ward increased consumption Of foreign
growths."
He termed propaganda" the state
ment of D. E. McCuen, retiring presi-
dent Of the American Shippers Asso-
citation, predicting an advance of 5
cents per pound in cotton within six
months should the Federal Farm Board
cease operation.

SUGGESTS WORLD
PARLEY ON SILVER
Pittman Proposes Call by
China, Believing U. S. Tim
idity Unjustified.

The suggestion that China might
properly call an international confer
ence on silver was advanced yesterday
by Chairman Pittman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Subcommittee, which
has been studying the depressed price
of that commodity.
Pittman will sail from Seattle for
China May Is to study the silver ques-
ton and the causes of the drought in
Chinese trade.
The Senate at the last session of
Congress adopted resolution reported
by Pittman'S subcommittee urging
President Hoover to call an interna-
tional silver conference, but the PreSi-
dent has taken no action.
Feels Timidity Unjustifled.
Pittman said there was opposition in
some quarters TO President Hoover call
ing such a conference for fear other
governments would attempt to enlarge
the scope of the conference to include
debt settlements and other financial
questions"
Il cannot see any sound justification
for this timidity," Pittman said, add
ing that the President could justifiahly
refuse to extend the scope Of the con-
ference.
China Largest Sufferer.
There has been considerable talk
in Canada among its statesmen Of the
adviSability of calling such a confer
ence," the Nevada Senator continued.
China could very properly call such
a conference. China is suffering more
than any other country, although all
silver-using countries are suffering
from the unnatural depressed price Of
silver.
Every government, in my opinion,
would feel 1t its duty to its business
men and its commerce and trade to
be present ut such O conference"
