on proper and adequate facilities
which afford an outlet for the PEN
MP energies Of a healthy growing
youth. Charts from the research
department Of the Omaha university
show that where adequate parks
Fairgrounds and recreational cen
ters are furnished, juvenile deli
quency Is not nearly as great as
whore there Is none. These charts
also show hat between Maple and
Nicholas St. 24th and Both, juven-
lie delinquency equals approximate
~ three tenths of that of the whole
city. It also shows that in this area
there is no playground, park or
adequate recreational center.
"The promoters Of this gymnasium
project make no claim that this is
a panacea for all of the deliquen-
eies among the boys of this dis
triet. They believe that at least it
would y ..den their perspective
and create within them a desire
to develop into something worth
while by ever S irving to reach
and excel their ideal which every
boy has-in boxing, wrestling, base
ball, etc. 1t should be taken into
consideration the fact that boys of
today are subjected to a greater
number of temptations than yer
boys of 30 or 40 years ago. Motion
pictures did not furnish an excuse
for boys to stay out until II and
IL o'clock every night. There were
no fast moving automobiles to ex-
cite their cupidity. In those days
900 o'clock p. m. was the dead
line for boys of a certain age to
come indoors. They were controlled
by two forces, the curfew whistle
which Indicated the time to 20 in
and the "old man" if they did not
go in. The boys then had "wide
open spaces" in which to run, play,
wrestle, box-with the Permanent
as their "top" and the grass as
their mat. Every group of boys had
heir thvorite swimming pool or
mud hole in every yard were
trees with limbs and branches ex-
tended where they climb and "skin
the cat" The boys of this age must
be furnished these things, and it is
up to someone to furnish them.
Who?
"Ane f'er great asset the cold
fashioned boy had that the "'new
boy" has missed-and old fashion
ed mother-on the advent of the
new woman, The old mother pass

rev has not the same love
for her young as the old fashined

| ON BRITISH PACT
Britain Hesitant to Take
Next Step Toward
Negotiation.
BY Cable to The Star.


LONDON, England, Nov. 4.-Wash-
ington still is waiting and will prob
ably keep on waiting for some time for
the British government to take the
next step toward the negotiation of
the Anglo-American trade agreement.
This is we'll understood in official
circles in London but apparently has
not been made clear to several impor-
tant newspapers which for the past "A
hours have been trying to tell their
readers that the American Government
is on the point Of initiating the hear
ings which, under the Trade Agree
ments Act, must precede formal nego-
tiations.
The fact is that the two governments
cannot even decide to enter formal ne
gotiations until they have ascertained
that there is basis for the agreement
and that this basis will not exist until
the dominions have agreed to certain
notifications in the Ottawa agree
ments.
Want Larger Farm Market.
These notifications will be neces-
sary II the Americans are to be given
the increased market for their agri-
cultural produce in the United King
dom, which they ask as their part
Of the bargain.
1t was hoped that these concessions
would be secured at the time Of the
Imperial Conference last May, but
several obstacles appeared. Among
them was the fact that the Lyons
coalition government in Australia
faced q general election in October
