THE BAD BOY PROBLEM

Like all other cities, Detroit had its
bad boy problem. From the juvenile
court records it appeared that in a recent
year one out of every eight boys from II
to 10 years of age had been arrested. De-
troit led all the big cities in juvenile de-
linquency.
Then number of citizens took notice
of the situation and organized the Boys
Club of Detroit A four-story building was
fitted up with lockers, showers, games
workshops and the like, and the boys were
invited to make themselves at home. The
membership now numbers nearly 1000.
These boys are drawn from the class
which formerly roamed the streets, en-
gaging in all sorts of deviltry. Now they
spend much time in their club, playing
games or building radios, airpIane models,
toys and many useful articles. A speciality
is making toys for crippled children,
craftsmanship going hand in hand with so.
cial education.
Members of the club seldom come be-
fore the juvenile court any more With
suitable outlets for their energies they do
not find it necessary to engage in anti
social activities. Great good has been ac-
complished through the initiative of a
group of forward-looking citizens who did
not believe that the bad boy was as bad
as he seemed to be. And results have

CHINESE MEDICINE

In a magazine article James w. Ben
nett, former American vice-consul in
China, tells of some wonderful "medi.
cines" concocted and dispensed by native
Chinese.
He tells of prosperous pharmacy in
Hangchow which keeps herd of deer,
whose carcasses are converted into all
healing pills as needed. Powdered and
nodded into pellets, various parts of the
deer are prescribed for various diseases.
Fevers are treated by pills made from
the hoof; those made from the antlers are
said to give strength to the weak; those
compounded from parts of the entire ami
NAL, including the hide, are guaranteed to
cure any ailment under the sun.
Deer are not the only contributors to
Chinese curative agencies. A govt remedy
is prepared from bear paws; a preventive
of leprosy is derived from the baked brains
of human infant; dessicated lizards,
snakes and centipedes, mixed with honey.
were highly recommended for internal
disorders; the powdered heart of a tiger
was said to give great courage to those
who partook of it.
y Most efficacious of all in this respect,
however, were pills maze from the heart
of a daring bandit, advertised thus:

You and Your
Nations Affairs
Monetary Moves Ahead
WALTER E. SPAHR
Chairman Department of Economies NerU York Unuers,

fgold and silver dollars are by the
lGeId Reserve Act of 1884 to expire
on January 30. 1879 II gives him
power to issue over-vaiued silver GER
tificates for such silver as he. might
decide to purchase. y gives him
power to reduce the weight OF the
silver dollar and subsidiary. coins in
I the same proportion that he reduces
the weight of the gold dollar.
H. Any reader who knows what con-
,istitutes a good monetary system
realizes how dangerous the provisions
of this law are. It hangs, like the
sword of DamocleS over our heads,
and we shall not be safe until the law
is repealed. 1t
The gold dollar has already been
ldevaluated: the Secretary; of the
Treasury has recently taken us off an
international gold standard and has
set the dollar adrift in foreign ex-
change; and the President has stated
that he will ask for a renewal of his
monetary powers which expire on
January 80. 1887.
People are only slowly waking up
to what all this means or may mean.
A few of our better financial writers
have been attempting to- arouse the
public to an awareness Of what is
going on. Mr.. George z. anderson.
who writes regularly for the maya
zine Banking and for the Neu York
Herald Tribune. recently has most
aptly pointed out that ths full impli-
cations of the powers given the PreSi-
1 dnnf and hIc C0nraforxy Of tho Traac-
ury. under these Acts of 1888 and
1884. have never been appreciated.
In part he saidi Under the powers
given the Secretary of the Treasury
there is no phase of money or credit
which that officer cannot control
through the use of his extraordinary
powers and the manipulation of the
two billion dollar sterilization fund.
The worst feature of this tre-
mendous new power of the govern
ment is that it is exercised9in secret.
The fact is that voters may NOT
know what has happened to them
until long months after the effects are
registered.
Discussion of a possible trend
toward dictatorship in the United
States is rather academic in view Of
the fact that we already have it if.
as and when ii is exercised. There
seems to be an impression among
some businessmen that because these
powers and this dictatorship have
been exercised so infrequently SO far
they may not be exercised in a
material way at all How mistaken
this idea really is will be more fully
appreciated when the full effect of the
new gold policy is brought to book"
To our daily cares must be added
the necessity of constantly watching
our government in matters relating
to our currency.

repealed Under that law the Presi
dent is able to urge the Federal Re-
serve banks to purchase government
securities in the open market and to
securities in addition to the amount
they now hold (S2.430.000.000). If
this huge expansion of credit should
deplete the reserves of the Federal
Reserve banks. this fact may be
ignored. Nor are interest rates to be
increased automatically if reserves
are depleted, and an undue expansion
of credit by the Federal Reserve
banks must wait upon the approval
of the Secretary of the Treasury be-
fore it may be controlled.
This Act also enables the President
to convert $1,000. 100000 of United
States securities into greenbacks (fiat

proclamation the weight of the gold

LAND0N SHOWS
FIRST BALLOT
STRENGTH
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service

Gov. ALI M. Landon Of Kansas
probably will go into the Repub'
lican national convention in
Cleveland next June with more
first ballot strength than any OF
the other candidateS-and. what
is more important. tremendous
reserve, or secondary strength.
Political leaders, Democratic as
well as Republican, were pretty
well convinced of this today as
they reviewed the momentum the
Landon movement has attained
in the past fortnight.
Oklahoma'S 81 d e1eg e s
dropped into the KanSan's col
umn yesterday, Pile ged ana
bound by the unit rule through
action Of the State convention.
Kansas, of course, will be LOT
Landon, and the expectation Is
general that bordering States In
the grain belt will fall into line
as convention time approaches.
What impresseS the leaders more
than merely this display OF Mid
Western support, which might be
termed sectional, Is the spread OF
the Landon movement on the two
coasts, Governor Merriam OF
California came out for the Kan
sas governor a few days ago,
which rather tends to upset ex-
President Herbert Hoover's hope
for an unpledged California dele
cation. A majority of the Repub-
lican county chairmen in New Jer.
sey informally declared for }
Kansan's nomination.
If this momentum continues
through the 10 weeks intervening
before the Cleveland convention,
Governor Landon's friends are
convinced he will not only go into
the balloting the favorite, but the
eventual winner.
AS matters now stand, 10 weeks
before the convention, Governor
Landon, Senator Borah Of Idaho,
and Col. Frank Knox are the
leading candidat ties. Senator
Borah and Colonel Knox have
formally declared their candida
cies by entering preferential pri-
maries. Colonel Knox has en-
tered his home State of Illinois.
Senator Borah has entered Ohio
and Illinois and contemplates
putting his name up in other
States.
Meanwhile, Governor Landon
has elected to remain in his
State house in Topeka attending
his gubernatorial duties. entering
no primaries. and making few
speeches.
