Spring fever is disease" that we all speak of rather glibly. It is more or less accepted as natural, for any actions of an individual during this season of the year that differ from the regular routine are dismissed with the remark. "he has spring fever" It would be pretty difficult to find this strange malady in medical books. The accepted cure a few decades ago was a good big dose of sulphur and molasses. In these modern times, realizing the cause of this condition, we are able to treat it in normal, sensible manner.
 Due to the glorious weather that the first few days of spring brought this year, there has been an uncommon prevalence of victims. Perhaps we should immediately lind the cause and then the cure.
 The change from winter to spring is not merely few days differ ence on the calendar. It brings change of weather, the sun IS brighter and warmer, and lawns, trees and shrubs become alive again. As we are sensitive to changes, some of us develop a feeling of unrest and desire to make a change in our way of living Others of us are conteno to relax and be what we term lazy" Whatever the symp- toms, the cure is the same. We should plan a few small changes in our way of living. Shedding a win ter coat for a lighter variety is one of the best procedures. A new hair comb or a arrangement Of some room in the house is very helpful.
 One of the most satisfactory ways for a mother to assist the whole family with spring fever' is to servee new and interesting dishes. Appetites are apt to be particularly good now, that children are more active out-of doors, so htat a plen- tiful supply of nutritious, palatable food is bound to be appreciated.

TOMATO JUICE FOR
 MAKING ASPICS
SavOry JeIlies Have Meat, Tomato and Other
 Foundations

Aspics are savory jellieS. Some times they are made plain and other times the jelly has meat, eggs, veget- ables or a combination of them added to it. Tomato juice has many reasons for being suited to aspics; it is especially colorful, has distinc- tive flavor, blends with almost any food that might be served with it., and comes in cans so that there is no labor needed to get the juice ready for use. Convenience means a good deal to housewives.
 Just a plain aspic made by adding gelatine to the juice is one of the most popular. To make it allow one tablespoon of plain gelatine to two cupfuls of tomato juice. Soften the gelatine in portion of the tomato juice and then melt it over hot water. Add the dissolved gelatine to the remaining tomato juice, pour into a mold and chill. The aspic can be molded in individual molds, or in a large one, all depending upon how you wish to serve it. The small molds of red tomato juice are effective to serve on lettuce with three or four canned artichoke hearts in the center. French dress ing should be passed with it.
 Artichoks hearts are also good with yellow tomato aspic. Did you know there was yellow tomato juice in cans? Yes, there is, and while there is not as wide a distribution as there is for the red juice do not overlook it in making plans for yell low color scheme in luncheons and dinners. Celery sliced and added to the yellow aspic is pleasing, and if ycu add three or four shrimp in the center of a small mold the color eff feet is dainty and suited to the spring luncheons you will be plan ming for brides.

JUVENILE COURT
PARLEY IS CALLED
Judge Bentley and Pine Will
Meet to Discuss New
Procedure.
Star Staff Photos.

A conference Is planned for tomor-
row between United States Attorney
David A. Pine, Juvenile Court Judge
Fay Bentley and representatives OF
the corporation counsel's office to dis
cuss ways and means of putting into
effect the new law expanding the
work Of the children's tribunal. The
conference will consider not only cases
pending in District Court, but those
before the grand jury and the Police
Court, it was learned yesterday.
Methods OF handling defendants
who are under 81 when tried and were
under II when the alleged offense wa,
committed will be mapped out at the
conference. The new law, signed last
week by President Roosevelt, halted
the case Of four youths accused OF
attempted criminal assault, sending
two Of them to Juvenile Court for
consideration. Many legal problems
are foreseen as an outgrowth of the
application of the new statute.
Mr.. Pine called his assistants to-
gether yesterday for discussion of ths
situation and compiled statistics on
cases affected. He said that seven
cases, headed for the District Court
now appear in the Juvenile Court
category. and there are several others
that now have to be sent to that tri-
bunal. The district attorneys office
will inquire into the actual ages Of the
defendants, as available records now
show only. the age at the time of
arrest.
Read djustment Required.
Attaches of Mr.. Pines Office do not
consider the question an acute prob
lem. but they said the new law will
require q readjustment of the ma
chinery and may cause some diff
Guilty when the principal defendant
would be tried in Juvenile Court, while
an accessory would face District Court.
As lawyers unof1lcially interpret the
new law, Judge Bentley may send
cases back to the District Court after
they have been certified to her. if she
chooses. after inquiring into the cir
cumstances. The records in the dis
trict attorneys Office disclose that one
17-year-old defendant is accused of
second-degree murder; others are
charged with robbery, joy riding
grand larceny. forgery and uttering.
Range Of Cases Extended.
Lawyers foresee the Juvenile Court
may be called upon to try traffic cases,
murder cases and other felonies. A
further legal tangle Is anticipated by
the fact that Juvenile Court lacks the
power to extradite, but attorneys say
there are fugitives under 18 years old
who are charged with felonies. Just
how these problems will be solved will
be discussed tomorrow.
Some legal opinion has it that de-
PENDANTS in their teens would prefer
to stand trial in District Court, as
they then would have an opportunity
to be placed on probation. whereas
In Juvenile Court, according to this
view, they would stand the likelihood
Of being sent to a reformatory until
reaching 81 years.
