OVER-CROWDED.

Diseased and we'll children are
crowded together at the District
Receiving Home, Grady H. Leo
nard, superintendent, reported to-
day, urging that suitable build

tuition.
Children are sent to the home
by Juvenile Court, the Child Wei

fare Department, and police. It
has been the practice that when
children are found lost in the
streets, they are taken to the in
stitution until their parents claim
them. Mr.. Leonard said:
"The present building is too
small and inadequate. There
are few facilities for separation
of delinquents from dependent
children and diseased children
from well ones"
The report asked that more
playground space be provided.
During the last fiscal year. 1872
children were admitted to the

MINISTER SAFE
AFTER THREAT

The Rev. Carol E. McKinstry,
minister of the Spiritualist Church
of Psychic Science. feels safe to-
day, but for while she had fears
that she was going to be burned
like a WITCH
The "crusading spiritualist" re-
vealed today that threats had
been made on her life in which
it was the purpose to take her into
the woods, soak her with kerosene,
and burn her like a WITCH
Police pooh-pooed the report
after investigating her allegations
that the threats had been con-
veyed to her secondhand by some
of her friends.
The Rev. McKinstry figures she
knows who has been threatening
her: it is some fraudulent" spirit

M|X-UP DELAYS
ADDRESS To
EDUCATORS
Teachers Need Closer Contact
With ForWard-L Looking
Youth, She Says
BY RILLA SCHROEDER

After a mixup that sent her
first to the Wright Build
ing, where she was not expected.
and kept a group of a thousand
or more men and women on ten.
Ger hooks at Wardman Park Hotel
for a half-hour, Mrs. Roosevelt to-
day finally landed at her proper
destination, where she talked to
members of the National Council
on Parent Educa ton" discussing
modern youth.
Later she returned to the Hur-
ley-Wright Building offices of the
Bureau of Education and for q
half-hour or more discussed in
formally with group of 20 or
80 educators the problems of the
exceptional child.
Elders Attacked
At the parent education meet.
ing Mrs. Roosevelt spoke of her
recent experience in New York
where she listened to a group Of
young people roundly denouncing
the older generation for mis-
leadership.
Mrs. Roosevelt told the group
that older people of today must
accept youth as it is. not as they
would like to see it.
Young people, she said, are
very willing to talk their troubles
over with older persons who do
not insist upon being shocked
with them and who are willing
to face reality.
She said:
1--WE must stop idealizing
the past. 1t looks glamOrous
to us, but perhaps it was not"
The most important contribu-
ton the older generation, parents
and teachers, can make today
toward education, she declared,
is a sympathetic understanding
OF youths problem.
Urges Honest Relations
She stressed the necessity Of an
honest relationship with youth.
Such a relationship, she said,
gives older persons an oppor.
tunity to put across their ideas
with some chance that they will
be considered.
She said:
81 still think that as we grow
older we gain wisdom. But we
can't just take it for granted
that young people will accept it.
That isn't the way the best type
of young man or woman thinks.
They want to experience things
for themselves"
At the meeting on the excep-
tional child. Mrs. Roosevelt urged
that educators along this line try
to educate communities to the i'm
portance of their work. Legis-
latures, she said, control the
funds and they are entirely influ-
enced by their communities back

Production problems have loomed so
large with censorship and other DIM
cuities that Hollywood's attitude is
understandable. II is the first chance
the West Coast group has had TO shift
some Of the picture-making response
bility on to the East Coast.
Practically every actor out Of Holly
wood who has enjoyed a continental
vacation-or @ British Isles visit-has
remained long enough to make n pic
ture.
Even when there has not been much
money gain-for the actor is up
against a double tax problem under
such conditions and the take Is not so
large In the long run-there Is tre-
mendous addition of prestige.
Now, with British -Gaumont IN
vading Hollywood ranks, even II Holly
wood writers and actors do not want
to make the change to the isles, there
Is the possibility Of running up their
already high salaries to q still more
dizzying figure. The rest of the world
considers the Hollywood salary some
thing between a horror and q hoax.
But try to sell that idea out hereI
A writer who has an alternative Of
scribbling out Of London can always
push the local figure q little higher,
and q star-man or woman-can
cause tremors OF uncertainty to I'LL
the producing heart by mere con-
sideration OF a division of time be-
tween America and England.
There Is always the danger that the
stars personality may crystalline away
from home. Heretofore, the British
films have not had sufficient financial
prestige to be q worthy enemy. But
the situation Is changed with the de-
termination Of our English brothers TO
make. In future, a product which will
be equally enjoyable either in America
or England.
The most serious angle Of the prob
lem is the matter of good taste. The
British have managed to use many of
the situations which have become o.
fensive In our pictures and get away
