Being 16 at SO Ls Nothing to Mrs. fullerton

this countryl We're too sentiment tai about criminals. We need a few hard-headed men with the courage to round up all the known crimin- als and put them in the lethal chamber. Why should we be taxed to support such men as those out there on Alcatraz?
 Until we can bring about world peace, we will continue to produce feeble minded citizens. They're needed for cannon fodder. A man doesn't have to be intelligent to fight.
 Birth control is the only answer to control of crime. But 1t will never be permitted while the rulers want more fighting men,"
 Although she may talk with en- thusiaSm of shoes and ships ano turns always to her first love-flc- tion, and the characters who march through 1t. Of these she will never tire, though birthdays pile up from now until century after next. Writ ing, to her, is the breath of life it's beauty, its fragrance, its delight.
 For the future-well, Mrs. Ather- ton is planning an eastern jaunt soon-a conference with publishers a new book.

 San Francisco - Gertrude Atherton, who is by way of being the dean of women in American belles lettres, will admit her age, when asked. She is not one to evade truths even that she is 80-but really, is it important? :? A mat ter of record, perhaps, but not of interest.
 She has grieved over the death of Edith Wharton, at 75.
 For today 75 is no more than 80 was, a few years ago. We have learned to take care of our bod ies. We have learned to keep our- selves young"
 Gertrude Atherton is willing to talk about the famous Steinach treatment, the rejuvenating course which inspired her best seller, Black Oven"; but she thinks that topic has been pretty well done to death.
 "Yes, since I wrote an article about 1t recently, I receive on the average one letter a day inquiring about it. That's proof that women and men too--are interested in staying young"
 Design for Youth
 Chief ingredient of her recipe for retaining ones youth, however, is not any treatment, but 8 constant and continuing interest in the world and its doings. From her apartment atop a San Francisco

Careers OF Actual Offenders
 Studied For Causes OF Crime

Using as laboratory material the carers of actual offenders, the Na- tional Probation Association will trace the causes of adult crime and juvenile delinquency, at the Eastern Probation Conference to be held in the Bellevue -Stratford hotel, Phil adelphia, on October II to IA.
 Striking strides in criminology will be among the features of the aSso- ciation's sessions, which will be con- vened in cooperation with the six ty-seventh annual congress of the American Prison Association. The latter organization will hold it's gatherings at the same hotel, on October 10 to IS.
 Addresses
 Announcement of an interesting program of addresses by leading American judges, psychiatrists, and probation experts was made today Oast nigh) by Charles Lionel Chute, executive director of the National Probation Association.
 we have been fortunate in se- curing for this conference some of the nations leading figures in pro- bation, psychiatry, and juvenile court york;" MT. Chute said. Tn dramatic fashion, and in language that will be ineligible to layman as well as specialist, they will trace to rockbotton sources the motivat- ing causes of crime and juvenile delinquency. Several of the speak CTS will deal with the case histories of individual youthful offenders. Methods for early treament and prevention will be stressed.
 "In view of the present popular interest in probation and parole, we believe that the program we have arranged will attract a large mum. Der of non-profeSsional as well as professional persons"
 State Systems
 One of the subjects to be discussed at the probation conference will be the development of state systems ot probation and parole. This problem will be the subject of an "experi. ence meeting" of which MT. Chute will be the chairman. At that meet ing the question of interstate com. pacts for the transfer of probation CTS will be taken up. Probation parole, and institutional executives will participate in the disclussion

way to punish him as any I can think of," said the judge.
 Appeal Taken
 Yocovillo was charged with breach of the peace. He is alleged to have chased Marion Finn, 2l, daughter of George Finn, on Spencer avenue late during the night in question. Judg McGrath also imposed . 10 days jail sentence on Y0covino but suspended operation of it for ayear. Attorney Michael A. CianO, counsel for YOcovino, announced that an appeal would be taken to the court of common pleas, and . bond of 46O was set by Judge McGrath for the appeal.
 Miss Finn, . reserved young lady, took the stand and stated that she had been walking up North Main street toward her home on Monday evening. She said that when she turned the corner into Sepncer ave- nue, she noticed man fin back of her, and that he said something to her. She quickened her pace, she said, and he followed suit. When she broke into a run, he started to run after her, she continued, and when she finally reached her house he had almost overtaken her. He even went SO far as to follow her up the front stairs, she said.
 Her cries brought her father out from the house, and YocOvino took to his heels, according to the young lady. Mir. Finn told the court he went out into the street and noticed Yocovino just ducking behind tel egraph pole. When he collared him the man said, Please have mercy, I'm Q family man."
 Identified
 MT. Finn said he brought Yoco- vino back to where his daughter was standing and asked her if she could identify him. She did. Att torney Ciano then asked MT. Finn if he had struck the accused. What do you think I did, kissed him?" was the retort, What would you have done?" MT. Finn stated that AA4o SVA dAoO VOVA ptsIV AA tAS AetvSA part of the affair, which included the taking of Yocovino to the cor- ner drug store from where the patrol wagon was called.
 Yocovino disclaimed any part of the proceedings with which he was charged. He admits being on Spen- Ger avenue at the time, but claims he was past the house before he heard any noise. He claims he heard somebody shout, that he stopped, and the next thing he knew he was being collared by MT. Finn.
 Numerous similar affairs have oc- cured recently in this district, ac- cording to MT. Finn, and he said he was determined to do his part to sequelch such happenings.

 United Press Stan COErespOndent)
 New London, Conn, Oct. 9.-CUP) Win the selection of Benjamin E. H:-wood, Chester, for Republican state central committee chairman, sentiment throughout the second congressional district for the con- greSsional nomination next year cen- tered today upon former State Rep resentative John M. Mallon, Jr.
 Prior to the movement for Har- wood for chairman, there was a feeling that the Chester man might be prevailed upon to accept the nomination for congress. Leaders now believe Mallon has virtually an open field in his desire to face Rep. gerald, D., Norwich.
 The sentiment for Mallon, 1t was understood, comes not only from the So-called old guard contingent in the district but also from the young Republicans, having been the first state secretary of the organization.
 Although but 37 years of age, Mall lon has been a worker in his party since voting age. Leaders point out that he knows the ropes" in Wash ington, having been secretary to forme. Congressman Richard P. Freeman.
 A newspaperman by profession, MalIon served with distinction in the state house of representatives In 1927, and was for 10 years clerk of the New London city and police court. He is a World War veteran. In 1936, he delivered the I1ominat- ing address for the then Congress man William L. Higgins, Coventry.
 State Rep. w. Ellery Allyn, Wa terford, who was also mentioned as a possible choice for the post in the second district told the United Press he would not accept the nom- nation next year and that he hoped to be returned to the house at Hartford.
 State leaders consider Allyn the leading contender for speaker at the next legislative session. He stepped aside last year in favor of J. Mortimer Bell, Salisbury.

hill, Gertrude Atherton looks at the world around her through eyes wise with 30 years of observing and is concerned with:
 Women in politics.
 Crime prevention.
 World peace and birth control.
 People who read mystery stories and people who write them.
 People.
 Income taxes, and what ought to be done about them. .
 Her interest in all these topics is active, for although she demands and achieves 8 certain amount of seclusion, she is by no means re- cluSe. She was on the committee which chose the name for San Francisco's 1899 worlds fair - Golden Gate International Expo sition-a Pageant of the Pacific. 1" She is looking forward to an au- thor's congress at that exposition.
 Design For Work
 Her daily regimen is simple. She lives alone, and likes it very much, thank you. A maid comes in at o'clock to prepare her luncheon and tidy up the modest apartment in which she has lived for 14 years. Her home Is centered around her study-the apartment dining room converted to this practical purpose and the spacious living room, lined with books. More books are stacked on the tables, and tucked into racks. She reads all the new things of literary value, and par- ticularly likes those published by newspaper folk. ..
 Her mornings begin about 7:3O. Breakfast is merely @ cup of hot chocolate--"pouring hot water over 8 teaspoonful of chocolate is the extent of my cooking ability"-and so to work. Imagination clicks bet ter of 8 morning, she finds.

For Reg anov," the tragically moving love story of the beautiful daughter of the Argucllos and the dashing Rus sian adventurer, she steeped her. self in early California history. Her current opus is 8 collection of es- says, stories, "reminiscences, for pulp lication in the spring.
 Afternoons are devoted to read- ing, with perhaps friends in for tea. They will find their hostess fresh- complexioned and clear-eyed, her blond hair, without any trace of gray, arranged in the time-honored Atherton fashion, low over the fore- head and swirled around her small patrician head. Her gown will prob ably be black which she nearly al- ways wears-with perhaps a light, fluffy wrap with ostrich feather trim.
 She dimes out always--usually at the nearby home of her daughter. She enjoys the brisk walk in the evening, and stimulating table con- versation.

 And what does Gertrude Ather- ton talk about2 Any topic under the sun. Her comments are always provocative, whether or not you agree with her. She is 6 staunch admirer of President Roosevelt and his wife. Her observations are pithy:
 "The President has made rnis. takes. of course, but he's made few CT than most people do in that poe sition. He made one in appointing Madame Perkins as Secretary of La- bor. But give him credit for stick ing by her after he'd appointed her,
 T have heard men say that wo. men haven't accomplished anything since they won the vote-that they've been stupid in public af- fairs. Well, I've talked to some of these men. My observation Is, they have stupid wives and judge other women by them.
 "Womer are showing much better sense in public affairs than are men. For one thing, they have more time to investigate the government ot their communities.
 This country Is on Its way toward a Ynatriarchy. It has happened be- fore, in other countries. Egypt, Sparta, Lybia, Oermania, have been ruled by . matriarchy. Women were first oppressed, and rose up to fight that oppression. They won equality-then superiority. And did they like it when they got 1t? They did notl Women in the United States can bring about matriarchy if they choose but they'd be fools to do itl What they really want IS equality. They're getting that. If they have sense enough to know when they're well of, they'll stop there.
