Children In Court
BY JUDGE MALCOLM HATFIELD

BY JUDGE MALCOLM HATFIELD
Following a hearing in juvenile
court this week, two groups Of par
ents learned to their amazement that
they themselves were partly respon-
sible for their children being dis
obedient.
A careful investigation by court
officer previous to the hearing re-
vealed the following:
The parents Of the first child con-
tinually bickered with each other
over the type of discipline to be
administered. If the father gave a
command, the mother invariably
conntermanded it and took the side
of the child.
The parents of the second child
frequently threatened the youngstel
with whipping but never carrier
out their threats.
On several occasions they sent
their daughter to bed because she
misbehaved when guests were pres
ent. After the visitors departed,
they contradicted themselves and
permitted her 10 get up.
So long as parents countermand
their own orders or fail to carry out
a warning they can expect disobed-
fence in the home, there is very little
the school can do to correct them.
Eventually they are brought into
court and must pay the penalty for
the failure Of their parents to teach
them obedience.

her stabbing the French revolu- tionary chieftain in his bath. But of course, the materials were fin- CT and richer than those of Frances heroine, who killed and gave up her life for her cause.
 Her dancing partner was, if I remember correctly, an American painter, Dana Pond, who enact- ed the part of Marat. He came in a papier mache tub on wheels, a replica of the famous tub of Marat.
 His makeup was extremely good, and I know he trembled when Mrs. Bache with real thea trical instinct, threatened him with knife as during the entire soiree she dragged him trium- phantly in his tub around the ball room.
 Another guest at this party was the lovely Louise Brooks, as she then was, the daughter of Mrs. E. R. Stotesbury, wife of the prominent Philadelphia banker. I never knew anyone who has bet- ter value at party than Louise because of her unfailing good hu- nor and her good looks combin- ed with. a bonhomie that was as contagious as the humps.

LOYALISTS' GROUP
 FIND SUBSTITUTE
Arrange Program of Span ish Dances to Aid
 Cause; Film Banned

In substitution for the presenta- ton of the banned picture Spain in Flames" the Waterbury branch of the North American Committee to Aid Spanish Democracy will sponsor a program of Spanish danc- ing art at Temple hall tomorrow night.
 Superintendent of Police William J. Roach banned the presentation of the picture Spain in Flames" and this action was upheld when an appeal was taken to the board of police commissioners by the committee. The picture was termed too ."controversial." Injunctive pro- cedure in the superior court failed when Judge Ernest A. Inglis de- cided that the matter was one for mandamus action and would have to be heard in the fall session of superior court. Action at that time Is expected.
 Miss Ines Munos, native Of Madrid. will be the speaker of the program.

The same Gen. erai MacArthur was lately Chief of Staff of the American Army, its ranking officer next to the Presi- dent.
 Of course, I was glad that no unpleasant results grew out of the innocent imposture perpetrated by Prince Murat and myself. And later. when I met the great Clcm- enceau. he was much amused by the story. Dropping, for a mos ment, the caustic manner for which he was famous. he politely -and.

But they will tear us to pieces, muttered, ready to jump and TUT for safety.
 Mot if we just SO on and pre- tend to be. what they think we are," said Murat.
 So, standing up in the fiacrt taking off our hats in the true French manner, we solemnly bowed right and left, as I had seen the Prime Ministers do before.
 Help From Police
 At that moment, agents de police appeared. When Murat whispered to them who we really were and how this strange contretemps had come about, they agreed 1t would be safer to keep up our roles until we arrived at our destination, as French crowds however friendly, do not relish being taken in.
 So now I really know what it feels like to be Prime Minister of Q great country in a moment of acclaim.
 We made our way through the ecstatic crowds, which threaten cd, at times, to take us bodily out of our carriage and carry us on their shoulders, they loved us so This, l ana afraid in my case, would have given the show away So thanked God when the pol ice, at the entrance of the Hotel Ritz succeeded in dispensing our admirers.

Dem Ocratic Harmony Far
 From Restored
 At Capital

Washington, July 28 - This is the best guess available right now, anc please remember it's only Q guess:
 Solicitor General Stanley F, Reec will be appointed to the Supreme court to succeed Justice Willis Var Devanter, retired.
 Next best guess, perhaps, Is Judge Sam c. Bratton of Alb0- querque, N. M., sitting In the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, including parts of eight western states. At any rate, the White House is hearing plenty from Bratton's packers.
 One of the worst crimes the New Deal ever committed against the country and itself was the thing it did to the solicitor r-general's office after Felix Frankfurter had refused the post in 1883. But Reed took that office more than two years ago and has carried the brunt of defending New Deal laws before the supreme court, lately with conspicuous suc- cess. He argued the Wagner Act as well as the AAA case and many others.
 Reed for several years was coun- sci for the old Hoover farm board and carly in 1893 became general counsel for REC under Hoover. He served Roosevelt ably as . legal expert in the banking emergency. He was slated for a federal judge ship in Kentucky when Roosevelt decided he should be solicitor general. His arguments have in- dicated definite liberalism along with . desire to At New Deal laws into reasonable constitutional Mm- itatlons. He is 53 years old.
 Bratton was liberal democratic senator from New Mexico until Roosevelt made him federal judge As an ex-senator, he could be sure of little opposition to his confirma- ton,

Captures Paris
 and Generals
 with Her Songs and Gay Revels

At another party of Louise's with whom I was staying in Paris, all the generals of the American army once came to din- ner. I remember our beloved General Pershing, the hero of Paris, was the guest of honor, and Q commanding figure he made, no military man In history ever hav- ing looked more the soldier.
 Being old d-fashioned-- tradition ally courteous in manners, the general took off his spurs SO as not to mar the priceless Aubus- son carpet in the salon.
 Tn the confusion of departure, none of the servants thought to offer General Pershing his spurs along with his cape and cap.
 We were wakened at dawn by an orderly pounding at the por- ter's lodge demanding the gener. al's spurs.
 This was the only time, I wager, that General Pershing ever lost his spurs To be sure, 1t was not on the field of battle, and never would bel

Perhaps 1t was too near the grim drama that had been played by the nations, but everyone seemed so happy to be out into the fresh air and sunshine again, free from the shock of battle, that any sort of play was rhapsodical- ly seized upon, and any Idea. ot Q party was welcomed with glee. Primed for Fun
 Elected to portray the char. acter of Lloyd George, to whom, naturally, the French looked as their great colleague during his years as War Prime minister.
 Clemenceau, Of course, Frances great Prime Minister-the Tiger, as he was affectionately called by friends and foes-was the idol of the people.
 Young Prince Achille Murat, Q descendant of Napoleon's great Marshall, chose to represent the Tiger. He was the son of Prin- cess Lucien Murat, the daughter of the Duke de Rohan, one Of the unusual and gifted women in France. She recently married Count Charles dc Chambrun and went to Rome as Ambassadress It was her husband who was shot the other day upon entering train by the mysterious Mile. de Fontange, who accused him on in- terferine with her great romance with Mussolini, which romance, by the way. am certain never existed.
 In the court room the other day, Countess de Chambrun was called as e witness as her hus. band was to i'll In the hospital to attend. When informed that the adventures claimed that Count de Chambrun had made advances to her, the former Prin- cess was asked if she desired to make any comments. Tt could not be true" said the Princess, iE her inimitable way. My hus- band has Q too perfect taste in women. I am the only plain wo- man he ever loved"
 
 Mistaken Identity
 Achilie. was gifted in the art of makeup. I myself have always particularly studded this art, as l love to come to my own parties n some character part.
 What Prince Murat and I didn't know was that 6 very important political question was being settled between Clemenceau, representing the Quai d'Orsay, and Lloyd George, representing the British Foreign office, and that the latter had just come unannounced to Paris, his whereabouts until after the confer" ence being held secret.
 So we made ourselves up, and I was SO successful that Lloyd George could hardly have looked more like himself than I did while young Murat was the inc age of the Old Tiger.
 We decided to drive In an open fiacre down the Champs Elysees to the Ritz Hotel, where l was giving my party. AS we left the road point, we were laughing and chatting gaily and didn't notice the ever-growing crowd lining the pavements and staring at us in the half light, not quite sure whether they could believe their own eyes. Suddenly loud and overwhelming "Vive Lloyd George!" "Vive rAngleterre!" "Vive Clemen- ceau!" rang out and hundreds of earnest excited partiots gathered around our carriage and furth- CT progress was impossible.
 I whispered to Murat, What shall we do?"
 Nothing" said the Prince firmly, in the manner of the great Talleyrand, who was his ances- tor.

Raw Wounds

Don't fall too hard for these nice, pretty stories about harmony re- stored in the democratic party, Knives are being sharpened as never before. If Roosevelt and his friends have anything to do about 1t, 1888 will be known to history as "the great year of reprisals," meaning that Roosevelt will not forgive or forget the scuttling of the court bill and other items of his program.
 Even while Vice President Jack Garner and hlS Democratic-Re- publican coalition seemed to rule the Capitol Hlll roost after giving the court bill It's coup de grace, Roosevelt showed that he was still trying to run the works by taking

The Senate Fight

Your correspondent may have erred in asserting recently that Sen- ator Sherman Minton of Indiana would be the assistant majority leader under Barkley. Minton wants his close friend, Senator Lew Sch- wellenbach of Washington to take the job. It Is probable that Senator Hugo Black of Alabama will be made another assistant leader and that Minton will become the party whip.
 The extent to which these men and other Senate New Dealers can operate successfully in as- sembling a pro-administration majority in the senate will decide whether Congress is to be under control of Garner or Roosevelt. The question right now is deter imitation as to how much of the Roosevelt program can be sal- vaged from the debris in the
