and initiative In almost all cases. n
may be that these late instances d
routed rogues were due wholly 70 the
novelty of counter attack. u - not IN
the book that the person confronted
with gun should assume the offensive,
or that bystanders should butt into the
game with impromptu weapons. Pos
sibly as soon e. the lawless ones
realize that the tables may be turned
on them by any Of their intended VIC
Tins they will be prepared for quicker
action on their own part.
Very much to the point Is It that
those who have been caught in these
recent table-turning encounters should
be given the shortest possible shrift in
court, TO make their way in the briefest
time to the penalties that their deeds
merit. The quicker the law may be in
the punishment Of the crook, the foot
pad, the craftsman, the gunman-any
one Of the brotherhood of crime-young
or old, amateur or professional, the
sooner the percentage Of successful
crime will diminish and the slower will
be the recruiting for the army Of the

Emergency Runs.

It looks very much as If the time had
arrived for another Police Department
campaign to convince motorists that
the regulation in the traffic code which
orders automobile drivers TO pull up to
the curb and stop at the sound OF a
fire or ambulance siren was not simply
written in to fill up space. Despite
the common sense of this regulation,
its necessity, and its use in every city
In the country, the motorists Of Wash
ington probably flout it more fragrant
~ than any other rule with the possible
exception OF the regulation pertaining to
parking.
1t would seem logical to believe that
no motorist would risk a collision with
the heavy apparatus and that every
motorist would realize that the loss Of
O few seconds to him in stopping is as
nothing compared TO the necessity for
fremen to save time in reaching the
scene Of a blaze. Yet the facts are
exactly the opposite, as proved by
hundreds of emergency runs. Motorists
will get in the way OF the unwieldy
Gre engines and Will selflshly hog the
right of way whether they have any
particular destinations or not.
II every person WHO deliberately risks
his own life and delays the apparatus
would think how he would feel if his
own home were on fire and his loved
ones trapped OH the upper floors. per-
haps he might have a change OF heart
and make a change OF driving habit
There are plenty, however. on whom
this reasoning has no effect and 1t /,
distinctly up TO the p lice to see L
It that these recalcitrsntS undergo 6
little session with the heavy hand O

Educating the Children.

From the Baltimore Sun.
1t is experts" who have been telling
us that mothers and fathers don't know
how to look after their children. It is
experts who have persuaded us to eX-
tend the curricula Of the schools so that
there is hardly room left for the three
RS. 1t is experts who caioled us into
setting up Juvenile courts, to develop
those courts into highly complicated
institutions with parental advisers, pro-
baton officers, outside workers and
Heaven knows how many more!
But recently another expert and one
OF exalted rank gave this hitherto all
conqueIing eXpertise q terrific Walop.
DR.. Miriam Van Waters, director of the
Juvenile delinquency section of the
Harvard Law School, told an assembly
of experts vino were discussing their
problems solemnly at the Interstate
Conference on Migratory Child Labor
that the juvenile courts had become
mechanical institutions, that the school
teacher had ceased to be a friend
and adviser of her charges and even in
timated that the time had come when
the old-faShioned counselorS-the par,
son, the doctor and even the parents
might well be called upon to do their
share in the upbringing of the child.
This is obvious heresy. But it is
heresy of sort we delight to hear.
When the experts throw up their hands
and quit pretending that their theories
are science. it may be possible to get
some sense in all this business.
