Young LAWBREAKERs

Experiments are being tried in a
good many cities, in the form of
new court systems for dealing with
young lawbreakers. Magistrate
O'Dwyer of the new Brooklyn ado
lescent court remarks that the worst
criminals today are between the
ages of 16 and 10. These boys, hard
ly more than children are terroriz-
ing the land.
The city of Brooklyn is doing ad-
vance work along this line in the
above named court. also in the chill
dren's court and domestic relations
court, over which Justice Jacob
Panken presides. This justice is try
ing to see that every child who shows
signs of going wrong through faulty
environment, shall have a better op-
portunity.
If a young lawbreaker is sent to
some correctional institution, he may
fall in with other inmates who give
him so many bad ideas that the in
stitution can't do anything with him.
And if you treat him leniently, he
may go back to his old associations
and pull off some still more wicked
stunt.
This idea of a new opportunity for
such ones, is close to the heart of
he question. If young lawbreaker
s allowed to loaf around the streets,
lis energy is likely to show itself
n some still more desperate act.
lie needs work more than any other
ype in the community.
And it is not usually enough to
tut him to digging on the roads.
iome job that has the chance OF
in it is needed to excite his
interest. He needs either a job in !
'hich promotion is possible, or he .
hOuld be persuaded to take some
ind Of study course that would ht
i'm for better work. Some door of .
ope must be held out to such ones,
ONE kind of attractice prospect, or
he chances of turning them from
ne crooked path are not so good.

RETAIL STORES

A large part of the income of the
American people goes into the main
tenance of retail stores. If these
stores are we'll managed and do a
good business, they serve the people
efficiently for a minimum of cost.
It is a wonderfal thing to have a
line of good stores close at hand!
where people can get the things they
need without spending much time
on their purchases.
If the home merchants have the
support of their home people, they.
can serve them well. If they lack
that support, they may not be able
to do so. Back your home merchant
and. he will take care of you, should
be our slogan here in Milford. IS

THE POLTTICAL GAME

The people Of Delaware are fire.
quently reminded that If they want
efficient and business like govern
ment, they simply must take more
interest in primaries and elections
and the doings of their state and
municipal officials. The same thing
is true in each one of these 4S
states. But people have been lee
tured and lectured on that subject
year after year, and it does not sink
in.
Many of us can recall how in
many village and town hangOuts.
the local worthless used to gather,
and discuss the political affairs of
the time. Nightly the cracker bar
rels used to rattle as the local wise
acres would thump them to en-
phasize their views. But the village
parliament has mostly gone now.
How are we going to get that keen
interest in the affairs of nation,
state, and local community that pro-
duces good. government?
The public schools are already
trying to teach more than the child
rem can learn. Time should not be
asked for additional studies, unless
very vital is lacking in the
interests of the children. But If
these children are coming up with
out a keen concern about politics
and government. something is lack
ing in their training.
It may be said that school teach
ers could not give instruction in
politics. as the Republicans might |
claim their children were being
aught Democratic doctrine. and the
fathers would fear the
nsidious Republican ideas. But the
children might well have regular
lebates on political subjects, gaining
heir information from newspapers
md their parents. Children ought
o come into manhood and woman
lood with a real enthusiasm for
,etter government, and desire to 4
.bolish the evils that plague the
country. Politics is a great game,
nd those who once get interested
n It find it more fascinating to
Vatch than any sport.
Milford chronicle., 1935-08-23
GO FARTHER, FARE MORSE

There is much sense in the old
saw about the people who go far
ther and fare worse. Calvin Coolidge
president of the United States for
nearly six years, had remarkably
shrewd perception of that truth at
an early age.
The late Dwight Morrow, sena-
tor from New Jersey, and Mr.. Cool
idge's classmate at Amherst college,
asked. Mr.. Coolidge during those
student days, where he was going
to start in practising law. He ex-
pected that his friend, with all his
evident abilities, would not be sat
isfled with starting anywhere but
in some big city like New York or
Boston.
Il am going to stay here, said
Mr.. Coolidge 81 don't believe in go
ing any further for anything than is
necessary. So he stayed right on
in Northampton. Massachusetts, and
in that small city he kept getting
elected to higher and higher offices,
until he became president. He knew
he could demonstrate his ability
just as well in Northampton as he
could in New York.
Among the people who go fur
ther for things than is necessary,
are those who take time and money
to buy goods away from home. But
let that pass. This spirit of going
further for things than is necessary
is very common among young people
who seem to think that if they could
once get to some distant place or
big city, their fortunes would be
made. They are going farther for
things than is necessary. and as Mr.. |
Coolidges remark implies, they are
thereby wasting energy.
People who start in around home
get kind of initiatOry push from
all their friends in their home sur
roundings, who help them make
their start. There are some who are
trained for special occupations that
makes it necessary for them to go
elsewhere. But as a rule and for
the great majority, if they can't i'm
press themselves on the public mind
lround home where they have friends
and relatives, the chances are strong
hat they can't anywhere.

1t was the best attended convention
ever held in the record of the hum
dred. The roll registered ZIG per-
sons, representing the church
schools in these hundreds. There
we're several persons in attendance
from other places.
The addresses were masterful and
were delivered by Rev. Joe Dicker-
son, Omar Jones and Rev. James H.
Bishop.
The theme. Winning the Pupil to
Christ" was certainly handled beau
tifully and interestingly by Dicker-
son. Character Development" by
Jones was wonderfully done. RE
ligious Education a Cooperative
Task" by Bishop was very helpful.
Many other persons took active
parts. Some of them were Mrs. Ja-
cob Minor of Georgetown, Mr.. and
Mrs. Roland Brittingham Of Days
boro, Rev. Clark, Mrs. Katie Esham,
Raymond West and C. E. wilkins
presiding.
Several schools contributed some-
thing to the program. These fea-
lures were enjoyed by all.
The Pilgrim Holiness school of
Gumboro won the award for attend
ance having the highest percentage
(6496). The award was a Christian
flag.
The convention was a great fea-
ture of the camp and a wonderful
success. The spirit of cooperation
was greatly manifest.
Most of the officers were re-elect-
ed for the ensuing year.

asked to plan exercises.
The Sons of the American RevOlu-
tiOn first began the observance of
Constitution Day nearly a score of
years ago and the day has steadily
taken on greater significance. This
year. the Committee feels, the prin-
ciples of the Constitution and its
guarantee of human freedom, and
States Rights should be called to
the attention of the people as never
before because of devious efforts to
undermine these principles.

Miss Maxwell had been sold to a news

Young Falin came to Big Stone Gan
last night and had a doctor dress q
cash on his head, which the boy said
he suffered when his father struck
him with gun. The youth then
surrendered to Bostic, who reported
the case to Sheriff Preston Adams.
He was held at Big Stone Gap until
today, then transferred to the county
Jail here.
Argued Over Car.
Bostic quoted Abram as saying the
trouble began when the Falin car
broke down half mile from home.
The father said Abram had let the
water run out, but the boy said oil
leaking around the spark plugs was
the cause.
The officer said he was told that
after they reached the house, Falin
hit his son with gun and threatened
to kill him. Abram went into another
room, Bostic said he was told, got a
shotgun, came back to find his father
with pistol, and fired the fatal S, IS.
1.-THE boy told me that his father
shot first. but none of the cartridges
in the pistol had been fired when I
took 1t from Falin's hand" the officer
said.
The deputy said he had noticed
'4the old man had been drinking"

the afternoon, but didn't think then
that he was drunk enough to lock up."

DALAI SEES HULL
TOLODGE PROTEST
Iranian Envoy Says He
Wants Officer Punished
for ''fndignities."
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Mild-appearing, elderly Ghaffar
Djalal. Trans Minister to Washington.
complained formally yesterday to Sec
retary Of State Hull against what he
termed 'indignities" when arrested
Wednesday on a speeding charge at
Elkton, Md.
Lodging an oral protest against what
he described as a discourteous VIOLA
ton of his diplomatic immunity, the
thin-haired bespectaeled envoy de-
manded punishment Of the Elkton
policeman who halted his automobile,
handcuffed him and otherwise
allegedly mistreated him and his wife.
Secretary Hull assured Minister
Djalal of his regret over the incident
and promised an investigation. Earlier,
at a press conference, the Secretary
had described the arrest as unfor-
tunate. regardless of what the special
circumstances might prove to be.
Hull Asks Report.
Both the Governor OF, Maryland and
local authorities at Elkton have been
asked by the State Department for
report. Secretary Hull then will de-
temine what steps the Government
may take.
1t was indicated formal apology
would be rendered the diplomat.
Meanwhile, he will make a detailed
protest in writing at the request Of
Secretary Hull.
Attired In gray business suit,
brown overcoat and brown hat and
carrying a cane, the Iranian govern
ment representative appeared at the
State Department a few minutes be-
fore the time set for his appointment
with the Secretary.
In the diplomatic ante room across
the corridor from the office Of the
Secretary Of State, he chatted with
newsmen as he waited to be called.
On leaving the department he ex-
pressed satisfaction with the Sec
retary's expressions of regret, but said
he wanted the arresting officer pun
ished. He told Hull, he said, that he
felt some disciplinary action should
be taken.
Envoy Explains Event.
To reporters, the envoy denied a
charge attributed to the policeman
that he acted like a wild man" after
his automobile had been stopped at
Elkton during a motor trip he and
Mime. Djalal were making from Wash
ington to New York.
In broad foreign accent, he ex-
planned:
All did was ask to be allowed
to telephone to the State Department
thought to put an end to the mat
er by having my identity explained
to the officer"
Instead, he said, the policeman or
dered; Shut up, you damned fool"
pushed him backward in the auto
mobile, handcuffed him and drove
him ANONYMOUSLY to the town police
station.
During that ride. Djalal continued,
the officer impolitely called Nine.
Djalal "a foreigner" although she
happens to be English and talks much
better English than does that officer"

Officials Await Word From State

ELKTON. Md, November 80 R.-
Elkton's argument with the Iranian
Minister to the United States sim
mered down today as town officials
awaited word from Washington as to
what amends they should make for
the Handwriting of the envoy.
Mayor Henry Mitchell sent reports
Of the matter to Secretary Hull and
Gov. Nice by special messenger. The
report arrived in Washington before
Djalal called to lodge his formal pro-
test. The State Department took the
position it could not act on the re-
port from the town officials direct,
but that the matter must be handled
through the Governor.
The mayor was told by newspaper
men that Djalal demanded punish
ment Of the arresting officers. As to
what it might be, he said:
That all depends upon what
Washington wants done The code
covering such matters dates back to
about 1917. We are now in a hot
spot. If you have read the statute,
you will see that whatever happens,
the foreign diplomat is right"

PITTSBURGH, November 80
Coroner w. ]. McGregor reported to-
night that soluble salt of nickel ap-
pears to be the mystery poison which
killed two children of q mill workers
family and threatens the life OF a
third.
County Chemist Frederick C. Buck
master found traces Of the poison in
vital organs of 2-year-old Margaret
Brugas and in picked cabbage which
made her and two brothers i'll.
The discovery increased physicians
hopes Of saving the life of 6-year-old
Edward Brugas because, for the first
time since the three children were
stricken, they have a definite idea Of
the ailment.
Container Suspected.
Buckmaster said it is possible the
cabbage absorbed the nickel from the
container in which it was cooked on
the night of November 16. when
George Brugas finished his days work
in the blazing hot steel mills and sat
down to dinner with his family Of
five.
A plain working mans fare
steaming dumplings, beans and
picked cabbage-graced the table,
and all ate heartily.
That night Margaret, the baby,
couldn't sleep.
Her two brothers-Albert, 8, and
Edward. 5-began complaining they
felt i'll.
Four days later 2-year-old Mar
garet died at a hospital.
Boys Together in Ward.
Chemists worked with test tubes
and microscope over the food they
thought might have caused her ILL
ness. trying to determine the ma
ture Of the poisoning so doctors could
administer the proper antidote to the
boys.
Albert and Edward were given beds
side by side in ward.
Today they carried Albert away
dead.
Physicians said death was from in
fiammation of the intestines, possibly
caused by poisoning.
Young Edward is critically i'll.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brugas waited hope
fully for word of improvement in the
third child's condition. They were
only slightly affected after the meal
and fourth child showed no symp-
toms OF illness.
