HELD CRIME AID
KaIorama Group Is Told
Receiving Home Move
Endangers Youth.

In a talk on crime prevention Capt.
Rhoda j. Milliken of the Womans Bu-
reau, metropolitan police, last night
told the Kalorama Citizens Associa-
tion the greatest crime we must all
strive to prevent is combination OF
the Receiving Home for Children with
the House of Detention" to become
effective January /, 1899, under the
1899 District Supply Act.
There is no place in which crime
breeds so quickly as one in which
juveniles are thrown together with
adult criminals" Capt. Milliken as
serted.
She added that Congress has shown
the same parsimony in dealing with
juvenile delinquents as is shown their
elders by not appropriating for ade-
quate personnel to care for the 1000
boys and 1900 girls who yearly run
foul Of the law
Would Ascertain Causes.
In order to deal with juvenile crime
control the cause of the crime-usually
case of environment and adult bad
example-must be ascertained and re-
moved" Capt. Milliken said
Crime figures show that IS per cent
Of the United States prison popula-
ton began their crime careers as
juveniles"
Pointing out that in Central WASH
ington it is as natural for children to
see their parents get into trouble with
the police as 1t is to sleep and eat"
Capt. Milliken said true crime pre-
vention lay more in case work and
helpfulness than in 'mollycoddling" or
arrest and prosecution.
''Insures' Crop of Criminals.
''The best way to insure ourselves
a growing crop of new criminals in
the District of Columbia is to throw
these youngsters, who. if we had ade
auate personnel. could be taught to
go straight with elders who are
hahltual criminals and beyond help in
many cases" she declared
The association favored change Of
the date of automobile registration in
the District from January to April l.,
voted that S. be placed at the dis
posal Of Mrs. Edna L. Johnson, presi-
dent, for use in April 30 referendum
on District suffrage and approved
plans for Juvenile District day. The
meeting was held at 221S Wyoming

none other than Jacques Doriot.
When I was in France q few
years ago, M. Doriot, back from
French Indo- China, was never more
than a short jump ahead of the
gendarmes. as they sought him for
trying to bolshevize their colonial
empire. Several times it was re-
ported he was arrested, but he
never was-at least, not in this in
stance-and 1t was commonly sup
posed that his immunity was due
to his marvellous penchant for kick
Ing up social unrest. Then and
later, he was known in France a
"Trappu." which in English means
something like tough" In 1892 he
switched from Communism to Fas-
cism, and it is under the banner Of
this political faith that he has ad.
vanced his political fortunes.
He is the Huey Long of the red
suburb of st. Denis; a Mirabeau,
minus the pock marks, forming his

by soaking the rich, plastering the

OF France. He is now respectable
pipes down on his invective against
solvent citizens, has access to ample
funds and is beyond doubt the most
powerful single force goading and
melting France to Fascisrn.
He is 80 years old, and. by way OF
consistency, his transition is from
a metal worker to an iron man. He
matches the oratorical genius of
Hitler and Mussolini and every shot

. STORIES
 IN STAMPS
Fother of American Constitution

CONSTITUTIONS and congresses - were the concern of James Madison for nearly all of his ex- tremely busy life. He first be- came jealous student of govern ment in his college days in New Jersey, at what is now Princeton University. His last public serv- ice was in the Virginia Constitu- tional Convention of 1929.
 In the momentous intervening years, Madison served in the Vir- ginia legislature, the Continental Congress, the Constitutional Con- vention of 1787 at Philadelphia, the new Congress, was secretary of state under Jefferson and finally was elected fourth President of the United States.
 So this energetic little man grew to become foundation stone in American constitutional problems. In the convention at Philadelphia he introduced the Virginia plan and rendered such efficient and brilliant service gen. orally that his associates called him the Father of the Constitu- ton. It was Madison who pro- posed the original resolutions calling for the creation of the de- partments of state, war and treasury. Likewise he proposed series of amendments to the Con- stftution, advocated by the states, out of which were drafted the first 10 amendments.
 Madison (1751-1836) is shown above on a stamp of the new U. S. regular series. The stamp. pink, is enlarged.
