the juvenile court as a strong arm

Taft, who, during the day, is the
manager of a haberdashery shop.
Taft's organization is partly a re-
suit of his own experience as boy.
The oldest in family of seven chill
dren, he had to begin to make his own
way at fifteen. For time he was a
professional boxer. When he had
accumulated little capital he opened
a hat shop in Spokane. Last year -
as result OF his leadership among
young men - Taft was given the
Distinguished Service Award of the
city's Junior Chamber of Commerce.
which now co-operates with Taft in
running the bureau.
Any young man between Is and 36
years of age can register with the
organization In the lower age group
Taft's first aim is to keep boys in
school and. if money is lacking. to
find part time jobs with which they
can finance themselves. Without any
official standing it works in close
cooperation with the courts. First
offenders are frequently turned over
to the organization for guidance and
practical aid. Taft's files contain the
names of 4.3OO boys and young men
whom he has helped. Because of its
success in Spokane, the bureau has
been called upon to make state
wide survey of youth welfare with the
object of setting up similar organiza-
tions in other communities.
This movement to find Construc-
tive answer to the problem of the
young man in trouble is beginning to
reach to the country's legal machin-
cry. In California, for example, the
iuvenile-court age has been raised
from 16 to 81 years. Brooklyn, New
York, has set up very successful
Adolescent Court for more sympa-
thetic dealing with the young offender.
The American Law Institute is at
present engaged in an extensive study
of the administration of criminal law
as it effects justice for youth. Its pro-
posals will deal particularly with the
reform of procedures as they affect
offenders between the ages of l6 and 2l.
And equally important has been
the success in delinquency and crime
prevention of certain distinguished
Judges who have made an effort to 60
beyond the crime in order to find out
about the criminal. Perhaps the most
notable record of this kind is that of
Judge Camille Kelley who presides
over the Juvenile Court of Memphis.
Tennessee. When Judge Kelley was
appointed in 1920 she was the first
woman judge ever to preside over a
Juvenile Court in the South. The
procedure which she Immediately
introduced shocked the city's hard
boiled cops. But the results during
the last nineteen years are proof of
the soundness of her tactics.
Judge Kelley calls the court her
moral clinic" She comes to it. every
day, smartly dressed. There are always
fresh flowers on the bench. She knows

W. ALL LIKE to dream about what we'd do
if we had million dollars.
But suppose you really had a million dol
lars. How would you safeguard it, over the
years, for yourself and your family to enjoy?
In short, knowing that there is no such
thing as an absolutely "riskless" investment,
how would you invest this million dollars
with safety to provide satisfactory return?
We think you'd try to do just what life
insurance company does. Among other things,
you'd try to follow, as far as possible, the wise
principle of diversifcation. You'd put your
eggs in many baskets"
Unfortunately, even with a million eggs"
the chances are you couldn't follow this prin-
ciple far enough-nor would you find it easy
to investigate properly the many relatively
small investments you would have to make.
But life insurance company like Metro

Because the interest this money earns has
very direct bearing on the cost OF life insur-
ance to the policyholders, it is important not
only that these funds be invested conserva-

interest income :. thus holding down the cost
of insurance.
Finally, with so many dollars to invest, the
company can take full advantage of the

That the New York Giants are
trying to swing deal whereby
Nello Falaschi, former Santa Clara
quarterback, would come to the
Washington Redskins in return for
George Karamatic, last years rookie
halfback from Gonzaga University
in the Far West, was learned last
night.
Whether the deal will be con-
summated before both teams leave
for their Far and Midwestern train
ing camps this week or whether
General Manager Jack Espey will
wait until he gets to Spokane and
confers personally with Coach Ray
Flaherty is conjectural.
The ironic bit about the whole
thing Is that the Giants originally
had Karamatic, whom they drew in
the 1887 draft, and it was they who
proposed the trade for Falaschi, a
college senior the Redskins had
drafted in 1896, but who did not play
pro football his first year after
graduating.
