Judge Defends Youth

DOINTING an accusing finger at "odsters" in fix
ing the responsibility for Juvenile delinquency,
Judge Ernest L. Reeker, of Madison, Nebraska, cham
pions youngsters in his current Rotarian magazine
article and suggests that in ority of cases war
rant should be issued for parents who would place
qualified blame on their children when they get into
trouble.
''When people ask me, Judge, what's wrong with
the young people of today?' my is always the
same There's nothing wrong with the young folks
the trouble is with their elders, he asserts: For 10
years he has been juvenile judge, he tells Rotaran
readers and has handled 1850 cases. "In my treat
ment of juvenile delnquents have found that nine
times out of ten warrant should be issued for the
parents of the child charging them contributing to
the delinquency of minor, instead of permitting
them to throw all the blame on their offspring"
He declares that he is "sick and tired of having
'holer-than-thou prosecuting attorneys rough and
ready police officers, and hairspttng judges con-
tinue to produce criminals by sending youngsters to
institutions through lack OF understanding VI the
1850 bows and girls with whom Judge Reeker has
dealt only so have been sent to correctional nstitu
tons Of these only six continued in life Of crime He
has little use for reform schools since he discovered
that officials of one of them took interest in
prize dairy herd and bull than in the youths commit
ted to their custody "The bull had better quarters
and better care and its diet closely watched
than were those of the 800 boys in the institution,
he charges.
Parental neglect accounts for it's share of youthful
criminals, but sOciety itself has pretty rotten rec
ord" Judge Reeker declares. Juvenile courts them
selves need cleaning up, lawyers and judges must be
trained to investigate backgrounds of children in
trouble and the conditions spawning crime must be
eliminated he reasons.
He concludes by saying he'd like to issue bench
warrant for every CITIZEN and sentence each to leave
nothing undone that people might do to make GER
tain that the children of today do not populate the
prisons of tomorrow.

Farley Out OF Order

THE Nogales International is Of the opinion that Ma
tional Democratic Chairman James Farley out
of order when he wrote to Arizona and requested
woman at todays state convention in Phoenix.
Also, out Of order when he requested Arizona send
to the national convention at Chicago in July six del
egates with one vote each instead of twelve with
half vote each 1t has been the custom in former years
to send twelve in order that greater number could
be accredited delegates.
Mrs. White, whom Chairman Farley has endorsed,
is fine woman, and so is her opponent, Mrs Della
Tovrea Stuart 1t is guess that majority of the
Arizona committeeman meeting in Phoenix today re-
sent Mr. Farleys interference in the committeewom-
an contest and such resentment has strengthened Mrs
Stuarts chances of becoming the next national COM
mitteewoman from Arizona. We believe Mrs. Stuart
will be elected and Arizona will send twelve delegates
to the national convention

Reorganization Produces Results

THAT the reorganization of the state highway de-
apartment advocated by Gov. Jones and approved by
the last state legislature is producing substantial re-
suits for the benefit of taxpayers is demonstrated by
breakdown of overhead and maintenance costs for
the past eight and half months.
Over hundred thousand dollars less money was re-
quired for these two permanent items during the pc
riod from June 5 1889 to February 49, 1910 the
corresponding period from June 15 1893 to February
20, 1889.
General office salaries and wages in the former pc
riod amounted to $685. $685. For the eight and half
months ending last February 29 they totalled $685.
O1849 reduction of $35,61790
Under the revamped system of maintenance even a
greater saving made. Using the same eight and
half months periods for comparison maintenance
costs dropped from S511 ,48778 to $445,85406, re-
duction S65, ,633.72.
The achievement of saving in this short period Of
than $1OO,OOO0O in overhead and maintenance
through the reorganization program, is matter Of
great satisfaction to the governors office and the
state highway commission

The Truth About The Census

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELTS Characterization of
the teapot tempest being raised in some quarters
over the census questions being merely partisan
politics is an opinion that is shared by almost all
newspaper editors
The Philadelphia Record describes the vote of the
Senate subcommittee opposing the question regard,
ing income "a vote of ignorance. 1.-The census OF
unemployment of 1887 contained the same question:
it says "Questions income have been part of the
census on agriculture for 20 years. The Nashville
Tennessean says that before getting excited about
'snooping' it would "be we'll to remember that the
idea has been largely encouraged by certain Republi
can spokesmen who think it might serve to discredt
the administration If the economic course of the
country is to be approached inteigently there must
be facts and figures with which to work The
census may be samething of a nuisance but there is
good for it, and the majority of citizens rec
ognize that fact"
The Nation of New York says: "The American cen
sus is in many ways statistical model and the Bu
reau of Census has honorable record for efficiency
and integrity -. . demagogues who for political rea
sons attempt to sabotage it by working the igno-
rant and hysterica deserve condemnation for their
utter irresponsbility Most of the comment is in the
same vein
For those not actuated by partisan political motives
it will be sufficient to know just why the questions
were framed and how. The question about income is
for the purpose Of determining mass buying power
for consumption goods and since incomes 1000
are seldom so expended it calls for statement OF
wages salary last year up to $4,000. If the person
made he merely answers "over S. OOO or $4,000
plus"
The need for such statistics recognized by Con-
gress in the law for the 1887 Census of Unemploy-
ment in which specific question about income was
asked No raised about it then. Furthermore,
every worker is to keep all answers con-
fidential under penalty of $1,000 fine two years
imprisonment. Questions about value of all property
owned were asked in the censuses Of 1850 1860 and
1870 and about mortgages as far back as 1890
Questions for the coming census were approved by
leaders of important groups and associations repre-
sentng every element in American life-business.
professional scientific, agricultural labor and socio
logical They all Expressed particular satisfaction
with "questions relating to migration, employment,
unemployment and economic status"
In other way than by obtaining information
about the condition of the country and it's citizens
through the census can Congress legisate intelligent
ly on problems affecting them.
Most of the persons who raising hysterica cries
about the question relating to income belong to the
class of chronic Roosevelt hating addcts whom the
question hardly affects They only need to answer
cover $4,000 Perhaps it gripes them to disclose their
income thus vaguely because it gives the lie to
their pretensons that the Democratic administration
has ruined and impoverished them.

Makeup improves
Your Complexion

Providing she has a clear,
smooth. complexion. its every
woman's business to learn to apply
cosmetics so that the natural tex
ture and glow of her skin are DRAM
atized rather than concealed.
Unless it is used to eonceai
minor blemishes or rough spots.
her foundation preparation should
give the skin a delicate, translu-
cent finish rather than a heavy
caked look. 1t ought to be smooth
ed on lightly and allowed to set
for a moment or two before ap-
plication of cream rouge.
Rouge should be placed on the
cheeks where natural color shows
after violent exercise or gentle
pinching. The less used the better
and rough edges must be
smoothed out to disappear COM
pletely at the hair line and sides
of the face. Unless the skin is ex-
tremely oily, cream rouge is likely
to be most satisfactory.
To achieve a dull, mat finish
with powder, apply 1t very gen.
erously after foundation lotion and
cream rouge have carefully blend
ed. Let it set for a few minutes,
then whisk off the excess with a
powder brush or a piece of clean,
fluffy cotton.

on the pictures and they are not
too large and conspicuous looking,
they would be all right. 1t is
much better, as a matter of fact,
to give them to several friends
than to one alone. OF course you
shouldn't give studio picture to
a boy you don't know very well.
On the other hand, snapshots (even
enlarged ones) are entirely suit
able to give to almost any one.
Dear Mrs. Post: (a) When a
man and girl are leaving their
seats in a theater, does it seem
rude if the man goes out of the
row ahead of the girl if he hap
pens to be sitting nearest the
aisle? (b) Is a girl supposed to
thank a man when he pulls out her
chair at table? And what about
the waiter?
Answer: (a) In this case, when
he sits nearest the aisle. he would
have to go first. But on no ac-
count would a well-bred man stalk
UP the aisle ahead of her, Cor
rectly, he stands aside in the aisle
to let her 60 ahead, or if the aisle
is empty they walk out together.
OBJ Ordinarily no, in both cases,
because the gesture is so brief she
has no chance TO thank either Of
them.
Dear Mrs. Post: My mother
taught me some years ago that a
gentleman should follow lady up
and precede her down the stairs.
A woman friend tells me this is
wrong according to today's man
ners. Why has the rule changed :?
Answer: Ever since the days
Of Jane Austen, the rules about
stairways have been rather con-
fusing because of the clash be-
tween modesty and helplessness.
On dangerous" stairway (mean-
ing one down which the lady was
likely to trip the gentleman took
his position below her SO as to
catch her should she fall. But on
broad tread stairway he was ex-
pected to go first up the stairs
and follow her down so he wouldn't
catch a glimpse of her ankles. To-
day he follows her everywhere I'M
less the stairs are likely to col
lapse, in which case ii would
certainly be more courteous to
precede her going down and fol-
low her going up.

MAN AND GIRL PROPERTIES


Dear Mrs. Post: Is it wrong for
girl to drive a distance in car
with a young man, then go to a
dance there that evening and drive
back home late that same night
My daughter and I have had
disagreement about this.
Answer: This is one of those
modern situations that cannot be
answered definitely. For Mary
Modern it would be entirely proper
to drive with David Downright. but
of questionable propriety to drive
with Miguel Menace, and there
would be no question at all about
the improperly of letting Fanny
Foolish 60 out with Miguel at any
time or anywhere. The answer to
every question like this comes
down to the consideration of per-
sonal character. temperament and
worldly training. Only one who
knows every angle to be consid-
cred can possibly give an intelli-
gent opinion.
Dear Mrs. Post: Do you think
it is in questionable taste for a
girl to give several pictures of her
self at the same time to different
boys who have asked for her pic
lures? Someone told me you wrote
one time as though you didn't
think much of such a practice.
What is wrong with it?
Answer: I have, it is true, an
swered critically about writing
sentimental autographs on pic
lures given by girls to young men.
But if you didn't write anything
