JUVENILE COURT
BILL CHANGES HIT
Proposed Revisions Held
Dangerous to Purposes
of Measure.

Changes proposed by the corpora
ton counsel in the Juvenile Court Dill
now before the Senate District Com
nittee would destroy the fundamental
purposes of the legislation and in
Jure, rather than improve, the func-
t1oning Of the Juvenile Court. This
was the opinion OF advocates of the
Juvenile Court bill which recently
passed the House, when Informed yes
terday of the nature of amendments
proposed by Corporation Counsel FL
wood Seal.
Principal change proposed for the
bill is to place in the hands of the
corporation counsel investigation of
complaints and decision as to what
further action should be taken in the
Interests of the public or of the child"
The bill as it passed the House would
~haVe placed the work of preliminary
investigation and inquiry in a duly
designated officer of the court"
In the opinion of John E. Laskey,
attorney, who took a prominent part
in framing the legislation, the proposed
change is fundamental and would
instead of the chancery or equity court
which is considered desirable
The changes have long background.
They were proposed in substantially
the same form when the bill was be-
fore the House District Committee in
the last session of Congress, and dur
Ing the hearings were argued pro and
con. Advocates of the bill in the form
that it passed the House convinced the
'committee that the changes were un-
desirable from a sociological point of
view and would defeat the purposes of
the bill.
After passage by the House a few
weeks ago, the bill was referred to the
Senate District Committee. and a sub
committee, headed by Senator Cope
land OF New York, was appointed to
study its provisions. In conference
with Corporation Counsel Seal. the
same Amendments defeated before the
House committee found their way back
into the measure.
Proponents of the Juvenile Court bill
are preparing to argue before the Sem
ate committee that if the corporation
"eounSeIs office is given exclusive
authority to investigate complaints and
decide on disposition of cases. the pur-
poses Of the bill will be defeated. THE
amendments, Laskey said. change
the whole scheme and philosophy of
T. BE measure. The corporation counsel
again becomes the prosecutor, when
the idea of prosecution is foreign to
the nature of the bill"

Fish That Builds a Raft

In every part of the seven seas
jellyfish are torn to pieces by an
under-sea creature more vicious
than the fiercest fish. 1t is shell.
fish of the Ianthina family, with
sharp, razor-edged teeth, and a
long, rasping tongue, and jellyfish
are powerless against it, according
to a writer in Pearson's London
Weekly. Unlike other molluscs
which crawl along the sea bed or
anchor themselves to rocks (mus-
sells are an example of the latter)
the Ianthina floats on tiny raft"
which is formed from a substance
exuded by the mollusc's shell. It
is supported by air bubbles which
the mollusc blows, and this tiny
"raft" can stand up to the widest
weather. The mollusc itself is blind,
so the pirate craft also carries a
passenger, a minute shrimp-like
creature which guides the "ship"
alongside the jellyfish victim, leav-
ing the wicked teeth and tongue Of
the pirate" to do the rest.

How Fort Pontchartrain
Changed to Fort Detroit

According to Farmers History
of Detroit" the forerunner of Fort
Detroit was called Fort Pontchar-
train, which was built in 1701 on the
first rise of ground above the river,
between what is Jefferson avenue,
Woodbridge street, Griswold and
Shelby streets. The space was in
closed by wooden pickets driven in
to the ground as closely as possible
to form fence ten feet high. On a
later date the stockade was made
about Is feet high and at the four
corners were bastions.
In 1903 the fort was partially
burned by the Indians and remained
defensively weak until 1918, when it
was rebuilt and became one of the
strongest forts in the country. A
number of immigrants arrived from
France in 1749 and the stockade was
enlarged and when additional troops
arrived in 1751, it was known as
Fort Detroit. Its size was increased
in 1854, 1855, 1853, as well as in 1850,
after the surrender to the English.
Military incidents connected with
its history include the seige of Pom
tiac in 1868, it's use as a base for
raiding parties during the Revolu-
ton and it's capture by Canadian
force in the War of 1872.
