BILL PUTS IDLE
IN ARMY, NAVY

A plan designed to absorb into
the Army, Navy and Marine
Corps 100000 or 250,000 of the
young "floaters' rapidly being
schooled, through unemployment,
to become first-rate hoboes was
put forward today by Represen-
tative Celler CD of New York.

duct bill embodying the plan
and make a fight to put it
through the Military Affairs Com
mittee.
Under the Cellar plan, the
youths, many of them just out
of high school, would be permit
ted to enroll in the armed
forces, but not for the regulation
enlistment period. A much
shorter term would be fixed,
probably six months, or, at most,
q year.
1t is not planned to pay these
youths at the same rate as en-
listed men in the regular Army
and Navy. Their pay would be
nominal only. but Cellar pointed
out today that they would re-
ceive many benefits from enter
ing the service in the capacity
his bill would create.

DEMURRER WON
BY ACCU5EDAT
BALTIMORE
Rockville Mans Indictment
Faulty, Ruling by Judge;
Forgery Alleged

Judge William c. Coleman, in
the United States District Court
at Baltimore, yesterday sustained
demurrer to an indictment
charging John C. Darby, former
assistant cashier of the Mont
gomery County National Bank in
Rockville, with making false
entries in the books of the bank.
He ruled that the indictment
was bad because it alleged Darby
had made false entries by putting
on the books of the bank notes
bearing forged signatures, whereas
the entries were not false, as they
were true reports of "a fraudulent
transaction.
Should the case be appealed by
the Government, it will go di-
rectly to the Supreme Court
rather than to the Circuit Court
OF Appeals, because it involves
the Interpretation of a Federal
statute raised on a demurrer to
an indictment. Charles G.. Page,
assistant United States attorney,
said,
Darby is alleged to have forged
his wife'S name to notes totaling
$4,000. He is represented by
Attorney Lucien H. Mercier, of
Washington.

FARMER LEAGUE
DEMANDS MD

Elimination of the middleman,
taxation of Andrew Mellon to the
extent of $500, 100000 to afford
farmers direct relief, and use of
battleship appropriations for the
same purpose, were suggested from
the floor of the Farmers National
League convention at Topographic
cal Union Hall today.
A preamble, adopted without
debate, contained bitter criticism
of farm leaders and politicians"
who dare to talk of surplus"
The farmers were in a decidedly
militant mood today as they be-
gan the task of formulating the
program they will present to Con-
gress tomorrow. They declared
firmly against foreclosures and
evictions. and will protest the use
of machine guns by a sheriff's
posse in Wisconsin, sent to evict
a farmer from his home. Tele-
grams to Governor LaFollette and
his brother, Senator LaFollette,
are being drafted.
Sharp discussion marked the
individual items suggested by the
resolutions committee. The first
four, constituting relief pro
gram, to be considered as a unit,
asked a $500, ,OOO,0 appropriation
for direct relief, and when ques-
tionS were raised as to where the
money would come from, Harry
Lux, of Nebraska, said that
Andrew Mellon could be taxed
that amount. The Mellon family,
he said, had more than 10000, 900
other Americans.

CHILD'S BEHAVIOR TRACED TO STATE
 OF HIS HEALTH

WORCESTER, Mass, May 30.- Health of the child has a direct bearing on juvenile delinquency in the opinion of pr. Samuel w. Hartwell, author of the book, Eff ty-five Bad Boys"
 Tn trying to understand the cause of delinquency" Dr. Hartwell asserts, it is best to say This child is delinquent because he is discouraged, or afraid or lonesome or unloved or he is confused with life
 Such methods as these are what cause or make possible the child's misbehavior. In the search for what caused the moods we fre- quently find ill health and physical handicaps.
 "The child who feels himself un- loved and unaccepted by others often believes, and sometimes it is true, that these things are made possible because he or she is not so strong or good-looking or healthy as other children are"
 Psychiatrists find, says Dr. Hart well, that attention to physical con ditions often seems to improve thS child's behavior through the in- ducement of happier moods.

 These organizations pick up quite a few of the American Legion boys, develop them and send the best cn to professional fields. Pipgras and Koenig, both of whom gained fame with the Yankees, are among the Minnesota products.

Moose Will Defend Slender Margin Over Ameri-

The Moose, who stepped into first place in the City Baseball League Sunday over the battered forms of the Bills, will defend their slender half game margin over the Ameri- can Legion at City Park this even- ing. It will be nine-inning game and will start at 5:30 pm.
 Jack Schmitz, versatile Moose in- fielder, will pitch for them, it was announced by Manager McKinnon. Bob Keaton will work for the Vets.
 The Moose suffered a material loss when AZ Osborne left town last week. He was going good so far this season and McKinnon had built up strong hopes of winning a pennant with him to help out Erskine on the mound. Schmitz probably will succeed Osborne for the remainder of the season.
