Probation Officer Approves Of Plan To
 Check Delinquents
Adoption of Proposal Would Lower Number of Young sters Arraigned Before Juvenile Court Rowing
 Urchins Prove Pests Stealing Bikes Racket

Two. important contributing causes to juvenile delinquency, in the opinion of Miss Kathleen Crowley, local probation officer, are the large number of boot blacks on the city streets and the fact that bicyqcles are not licensed. She advocates a curb on juvenile bootblackss and urges that some form of licensing bicycles be adopted, claiming that such steps would be of great assistance in lowering the number of youngsters haled before juvenile court for law violation.
 In . radio interview over wATR this week, Miss Crowley listed the bootblacks and the non -licensing of bicycles as the reasons for the appearance of many juveniles. The bootblack, she said, has become a "pest', while stealing bicycles has become 8 veritable business for groups of boys. Miss Crowley alleges that few bootblacks work at shining shoes because they need the money, and in her radio interview she men. tioned that she saw Q 15 year old boy step out of an automo bile. she box in hand, and begin soliciting customers for "shines."
 Miss Crowley's remarks on the two subjects in her radio interview follow:
 Some way must be found of
 curbing or stopping the boot

 worthy barefoot boy helping
 to assist the family are gone.
 We are confronted particular

 bands of rowing g>urchins whose
 actions have caused no end of
 complaints of stealing from
 stores, automobiles, and office
 buildings. Each complaint
 mentions boys with shoe boxes
 last seen in the vicinity. Moth- CTS, who have been questioned,
 say that they receive little or
 none of the money these boys
 earn. It is. gambled away,
