Weary, but Still Smiling,
Store Santa Claus Likes Role

Washington's composite Santa
Claus, who suffers a little from an
overworked right arm, otherwise has
no complaints to make of his occupa-
ton.
Interviewed in several toy shops, the
patron saint of children rubbed his
collective arm and agreed with the
reporter that it's strenuous work
shaking the hands of thousands of
children a day-but such is the price
of diplomacy. And the composite San
ia is, first of all, a diplomat.
The store Kris Kringle is also an ex-
pert on business conditions, and a
gentleman. And he has proper pride
in his profession.
Each Child Best.

smile, believes that her child is the
greatest in the world. For business
reasons, run no risk of offending her.
White or colored, they all get a greet

father"
His voice softened when he said:
"The children believe in me, too.
Their big, bright eyes shine in mine
and often they run Up to give me a
hug. I couldn't let them down."
He turned his attention to econom-

TWO LOCAL BILLS
BEING DRAF TED
Improvement of Juvenile
Court and LegaIized
Racing Aims.

Chairman Norton of the House Dis
trict Committee is drafting bills to
improve Juvenile Court procedure and
to legalize horse racing in the Dis
trict.
In explaining her purpose regard
ing the Juvenile Court, Mrs. Norton
said she recognizes that in the Ju-
venile Court lies the solution of many
of the preSent-day crime problems"
eff we are to combat crime, we must
look to the proper Juvenile Court pro-
cedure," she added. THE present
Juvenile Court in the District, eStab-
lished by an act of Congress approved
March 10, 1906, does not meet with
present-day conditions. 1t is really
a criminal, not a chancery court. The
emphasis is on prosecutions, not cor
rection.
"The bill I have in mind is based
upon the principle that the child.
when it comes before the court. shall
not be regarded as a criminal, and
that, If it is possible to save the child
and make a useful citizen Of him, ev-
cry opportunity shall be offered.
Most of the States have abandon
ed the tradition of the criminal law
in dealing with children, and it is
my hope that We shall be able to put
through a law for the District that
will give every juvenile offender the
benefit of the most humane court leg
islation."
Mrs. Norton said she also is study
ing the subject of legalizing horse rae
ing in the District and is preparing a
good race track BILL" which she will
introduce as soon as Congress con-
venes.
