Kruschen Salts for me-he said they

Juvenile Court. the period varying
from month to year. or until ma

occasionally that the child is reared

The agency has need also for the

life. The institution attempts to build
new habit formations. preparing the
child for a foster home.

Wellesley and entered the social serv-

the School for Social Work in New

Raising the age of criminal RESPONSE

keenly interested. She looks forward
to the time when young thieves and
delinquents before the court may be
regarded more as needy young people,
rather than criminals. The first
Juvenile Court opened in Chicago In
1899, the only motive being to segre-
gate children from old-time criminals.
Since then the functions and tech !

IN WEEKS or months of flying on

Il may make constant use of the
beacon lights, directional radio, radio
weather broadcasts and even land at
some of the intermediate landing
fields and still be carrying out a
fairly simple routine. The aids to
navigation are there for his con-
venience and safety, working "a hours

But almost any flyer who habitually
travels cross-country using these
routes can spin at least one thrilling
yarn which taught him the real
worth Of the air navigation aids in
way he'll never forget.
For James L. Kinney, Depart

five or six years. She felt that she
had been tricked and identified the
child with her anger with the father.
Eventually the child fell into the
hands of the child welfare division
and was given foster home.
THE father has visited the child
constantly, and recently the moth
er, who has remarked, has started
calling, in the opinion of the bureau
probably only with the motive of
worrying the father. The father lives
in eternal fear that the court Will
turn the child over to the mother
and that he will not be allowed to
see it again. The child, in the mean
time, is eternally subjected to the
conflict between its parents. 1t finds

PREPARING TO PLAY
That Is What Washington Is Doing at This
Season and Park Staff Is Busy Making
Its Various Facilities Ready.

Even some of the minor sports sue
ceed in attracting considerable crowds.
Archery. for instance. is listed as
drawing $3.50 spectators to its miscel-
laneous tournaments. Incidentally.
there were more than 1900 using the
temporary and permanent greens pro-
vided for this form Of recreation.
In the matter of all-around interest,

tent as last year. they will have
combined participant and spectator
draw of more than 100000 persons.
Last year the 26 provided for white
players and six for colored athletes
attracted a total of 1854 players and
audiences aggregating 632,350 per-
sons.
There are 10 nine-hole golf courses
available for white and colored play
ers this year and they are counted
upon to provide baseball with its
keenest competition for the honor Of
being the most popular sport.
Last year these public links. nine
for white players and one for colored
lovers Of the game. were used by
total of 350.689 players. Actual users
of the public golf facilities numbered
Ali ,489 in 1885, including $4,000 users
of the putting, driving and practice
courses in East and West Potomac
Parks.
EAST POTOMAC'S four courses are
expected again to prove the city's
most popular this year, as they have
been in the past. In 1885 they were
used for a total of 112,759 nine-hole
rounds. Rock Creek, with only two
nine-hole layouts, one on which 101,-

attributable to the erection of the
f1ood-control dixie In the Mall. The
reduction of facilities, however, Is not
sufficient to remove the sport from
its long-held place as the third most
popular on Washington's athletic rec
reation list.

With a generous, If not lavish,

Eager to get along with his work,
Kinney reflected also that he had
everything in his airplane needed for

in operating condition at Newark.
He had made numerous landings

not go ahead and land blind if the

special ground equipment for aiding
in landing be placed in operation.
Leaving the airport with two COM
panions, fadio engineer and me-
clanic, he soon found the ceiling so
low and visibility so poor that it was
necessary to pull up into the fog and
rely entirely upon the radio range bea-
con signals and his instruments for
guidance.
Passing over Baltimore he saw the
ground through a gap in the clouds
for about a minute. He did not see
it again until he reached Newark.
He knew he had arrived in the vi
cinity of the Newark Airport when the
radio range beacon signals suddenly
stopped, and a moment later surged
in again with renewed volume, indi-
eating that he had passed through the
cone of silence over the radio range

Completely blind landings have been
