REFORMING YOUTHS
IS ACUTE PROBLEM
Wards of Chicago Court In
crease Rapidly and Funds
Are Lacking.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 24.-Like the old
woman who lived in the shoe, Judge
Mary Bartelme has so many children
she doesn't know what to do.
For her honor Judge Bartelme pre-
sides over the first and largest juvenile
court in the world and her problems
are much the same as those of the old
Mother Goose rhyme character.
The courts children are orphans
whose ages are graduating them from
asylums, nearly 5000 homeless or neg
lected children or youngsters whose
parents have abandoned them and
more than 1000 boys and girls who
have met the police-unfavorably
One of her toughest problems, Judge
Bartelme said, is tapping out careers
for orphan asylum graduates. These
wards OF the court, boys of 16 and girls
OF ID. are being launched without much
training into a world already suffering
with an economic headache.
Number Increases,
The number of dependent and neg
lected children has increased 10 per
cent, records show, since 1929, and the
problem Of homeless boys-17-year-o
boys who roam the streets in all they
have in clothes, sleep in Railways, steal
the morning milk, unable or unwilling
to find work-has become acute, the
jurist said
Chicago's empty pockets, an outcome
OF delinquent taxes, have caused the
closing of two juvenile institutions for
minor offenders. This left the Judge
with two courses-probating the young
transgreSsorS or sending them to re-
formatories, and she has always hest
tated to do the latter except in serious
cases.
Until the last two years it was easy
to find foster homes for orphans and
minor delinquents. Girls were gener-
ally placed in city homes and boys on
farms. And it was not unusual to get
a small salary for the young farm
hands
Learning Ways of Crime.
But now we have to pay board for
cur youngsters" the judge said. Where
are We to get the money? We got some
from private donations and the Gov
ernor's employment relief fund. But
that is only a drop in the bucket.
And my children are in need-cold.
hungry, and learning the ways of
crime"
In an attempt to divert homeless boys
from becoming subjects for tomorrow's
front page gangster stories, the Judge
is appealing especially to men.
Chicago has its secret six-proni-
nent law-loving men banded together to
ferret out criminals-and now let Chi
cago have its saving six-men who
will give these boys break"

Mullikin To Meet
Filipino Mailman

DR.. P. A. Mullikin, who meets
Marciano Agrava in one-half of
the double main event at the Ell
Centre arena Wednesday night, has
been wrestling for more than II
years, establishing a splendid rec
ord in that time.
He was champion of the navy
for four and one-half years, and
recently beat Charley Fisher for
the light heavyweight champion
ship of the world. Agrava wrestled
him to a one-half hour draw here
two weeks ago, and the coming
match will have Mullikin'S title
at stake.
In the other half of the double
main event, Wildcat Miller will
meet Louis Mayo, the boy who beat
Tex Wright here two weeks ago.
Miller is an ex-football star and
knows the mat game from every
angle.
In the special event Bill Tackett,
local referee and traffic cop, will
try a comeback at the wrestling
game, with Whitley Alysworth, a
rough Texan as his opponent. Bill
used to be in the mat game quite
a few years back and believes he
is able to show some of the present
