They tried to help the boys, especially
those just dipping into crime-to keep
them from running with tougher boys
who seemed the natural leaders OF
gangs. Sometimes they succeeded. But
more often the boys they had lectured
and let 60 would keep coming back to
the station house, caught in fresh
mischief, some of it serious
1t has been the practice, as a rule,
unless the case is particularly flagrant,
not to charge a boy the first time he
gets into trouble.
The arresting officer usually takes the
lad home and has a talk with his
father or mother, or both. Parents are
warned of what will happen If they
don't keep a closer check on the boy.
Sometimes this works. Sometimes.
If the boy repeats, there's nothing
left to do but make case against him.
Then it's up to Juvenile Court. Even
there, Judge Fay Bentley is apt to give
him another chance, perhaps several,
before he is committed to reform school.
It's not a pleasant thing, Mr.. Scheible
explained, for a policeman to have to
haul in children and charge them with
crimes But what can you do? If q
boy persists in being criminal. you
can't ignore it. And some of their
crimes would send an adult up the road
for long stretch"
Keep Trying to Reclaim Them.
Even when they've kept on breaking
into houses or pilfering stores, officers
like Mr.. Scheible have kept trying to
reclaim them.
Several times during the war he has
persuaded the court to drop charges SO
the boys could enlist. He has got five
into the Army in recent months Gases
were nolle pressed in two of these
instances.
And the boys don't seem to regard
this policeman as their enemy, despite
the fact that, according to Capt. Winfree
Mr.. Scheible has an uncanny knack o.
tracking them down.
Evening star., 1943-10-17

before we've caught up with them, and
then maybe ON some other charge"
The other matter that impressed him
was the hard, unyielding attitude of the
youngsters when they were brought in
for questioning. You could get nothing
out Of most Of them, he explained
you might as we'll be talking to marble
image. Usually you'd have to prove to
the young suspects that you knew ex-
actly how they'd carried out some crime
and convince them you had the evi-
dence before they'd open up, and not
always then.
An Astonishing Case.
But the most astonishing case he ever
encountered involved two boys no more
than years old each. They stole some
mail from an apartment box, and in
one letter found a check for 5000. One
of the boys forged an Endorsement. The
other wrote letter to the bank, signing
his mothers name and explaining that
she was sick and couldn't get the check
cashed and please to give the money
to her little boy.
And be sure to seal it good SOS
Johnny won't lose it," the boy wrote.
The two little fellows presented the
check and the letter at the bank. The
teller called the police.
II wouldn't have believed" Mr.
Scheible commented. "that boys Of that
age could have planned such thing

on him. 1t came from one of the looted
homes. At first he told an elaborate
story Of how an older boy had given
him the watch in return for debt.
Eventually he admitted that he had
broken into the six houses alone.
This still might have seemed fantas-
tic. But Georgetown police took the boy
to each Of the homes, and he showed
which door or window had been broken
open and described the valuables taken
and the layouts of rooms. There could
be no mistake about it.
Strangely enough, Officer Scheible had
suspected B. L., because he had been
IN other trouble. And the policeman
knew the boy to be cool and daring
Just the sort of kid to pull something
like this and boast to all his pals about
it. He had run with a gang, but he'd
wanted to show he could pull these
"jobs" alone.
The policeman knew B. L. In fact,
Mr.. Scheible knows just about every
boy in Georgetown He's had to inves-
tigate so much juvenile delinquency
that he's come to know the boys who
play with crime and those who don't.
He's learned the ways of their little
''mobs," as they like to call them.
B. l.. was sent away to reform
school. He's IA now and about to be
released.

asked, that he's learned his lesson?"

grams of interest to the youngsters. But
these institutions have been handicapped.
like everything else, by lack Of sufficient
help. And, whatever is done, there al
ways are a certain number of kids who
prefer the streets.
Idleness thus, was No. 2 on Mr. Schei-
bles count of circumstances responsible
for youthful delinquency. Then the boys
devour gang stories and crime movies
and pick up the alleged jargon Of the
underworld.
The Curfew Plan.
A curfew for children would help dis
tinctly, he thinks. 1t could be placed at
10 or even II pm, he said.
"Ill admit it would be dificult to
enforce" he added, "but at least it would
give us something to 60 on. Juveniles
would be required to have notes from
their parents telling why they were on
the streets, or some other satisfactory
evidence They'd forge the notes, OF
course But, even so, we'd have better
weapon in our fight to prevent these
crimes. If the kids didn't congregate on
the streets late at night, often far past
midnight, lot of this stuff wouldn't be
happening
This policeman, who is 80, has per-
sonal interest IN boys aside from his pro-
fessional concern. Mr.. and Mrs. Scheibls
have three Of their own. Their ages are
2, 6 and IL.

The other day Charley, who had been
in plenty Of trouble, dropped into the
station house and waited for Patrolman
Scheible to come of watch. Then he
shook hands with the officer who had
chased him all over Georgetown and
caught him time and again. I'm going
in the Navy" the boy explained. They've
accepted me. And I want to-well, I
want to thank you"
But military career does not always
solve the situation. And the Army Is
not eager to get youths with criminal
tendencies.
There was G.. T., who had just turned
18. He had been a young terror in the
community for years. He promised to
60 in the Army, if they'd take him and
Mr.. Scheible would forget lot Of pend
ing cases. The officer agreed. He helped
to get the boy into the service.
Clever Offenders.
The next thing that happened G. T.
showed up in Georgetown. He was
AWOL. Mr.. scheible persuaded the boy
to report back to camp, assuring him
they wouldn't be too hard on him. G. T.
did He was transferred to . Southern
post. 49, - S.
II wasn't long before the lad appeared
again at his familiar haunts. This time
he had an Army vehicle and a letter
stating that he was a sergeant and he
should be given gas. Armed with this
letter. he readily got gas at Georgetown
filing stations He enjoyed himself fol
a while. Then it developed that he hac
gone AWoL again, taking the car along
and that the letter was forged. Military
police came and got him.
Two things have amazed Officer
Scheible since he began investigating
juvenile delinquency. One was the clev'
erness of their crimes. No hardened
criminal Of IS could have planned some
of the burglaries more completely thar
these youthful offenders did.

This nerveless and uncanny burglar
broke into four more houses that night.
He forced doors or windows. He roamed
the houses until he found something Of
value. No one was disturbed.
1t Was an Expert Job.
The next morning, when the six
households began to discover missing
valuables, doors or windows broken open,
reports of the burglaries began to trickle
into the seventh precinct. Police went
to the houses and checked up. But there
were no notwithstanding to go on.
They might we'll have thought several
burglars were at work that night. There
seemed too many jobs for one man to
carry out, although there was a marked
similarity in the way all were done.
1t was quite a while before Capt. Arch
M. Winfree, precinct commander, and
his men got a break on the case. But
they kept after it. 1t must be tough,

with those housebreakings. The trail
might lead to other cities, but perhaps
the thief or thieves had blundered

hardly believe them. His theory seemed

4 GIFT THAT MOTHER Will CHERISH FOREVER


10 YOUR mother you will always be the
little boy or girl who learned lifes first lessons
at her knee, and went to church and Sunday
school. Hence, all mothers remember what
some sons and daughters sometimes forget
the shining influence of regular communion
with Divine love-
1t is altogether fitting and proper that gifts
should, on Mothers Day. be visible and tangi-
BILE tokens of her children's love and adora-
ton. This custom, it is generally believed, had

cense, and nnyrrh that the Magi brought to the
manger in Bethlehem. Only our reverence for
the sacredness of motherhood would invite or
justify the comparison.

But long after the flowers have wilted and
the candy has been forgotten, your mother
would remember your having gone to church
on Mothers Day-gone to church with her, if
that is possible, or as tribute to her if she is
far away.
So while we lovingly dedicate this day to
mother would it not also serve as a further
tribute to her if you were to resolve to attend
church regularly?
Today especially young minds and troubled
souls cropping their way through the darkness
and uncertainties of war will gain, in church,
renewal Of those spiritual values which alone
can bring the JOY and comfort and the everlast-
ing peace this world so sorely needs.

Wounded Given Best Attention
AT Miumi's Hote|-HospituIs

once presided over the kitchen in
these hotels, Army dieticians are in
charge, so that it is possible on short
notice to provide any type of diet
required for patient. Special care
and attention is given to diabetic
diets.
1t. Elizabeth Dean is the dietician
in charge of kitchen at the Pan
coast, and she is on hand for the
preparation of every meal. Here diet
is undoubtedly being made an asset
to speedy recuperation and quick
return to military duty.
Corpl. Frederick j. Pence and Pvt
Zoland Hickok, are two of the Wash

wish to be remembered to their
Washington friends. They expect tc

Is DR.. Thomas E. Dredge, 6208 Thir-
tieth street NV. formerly on duty
at Mount Alto Hospital. He is a
specialist in the respiratory diseases
Another is Capt. John F. Finnegan
a graduate of Georgetown Uni
versity Medical School in 1881. He
is the heart specialist at the Pan
coast.
The lay requires that any organic
heart disease or defect must cause
an Army patient to be returned tc
civilian life. Capt. Finnegan empha
sized that Army physical examina-
tions have a way of turning up heart
conditions, which ordinary civilian
life might not. In the great majority
of instances these men may return
to civilian occupations, although
they are not safe risks for combat
duty. His department is also vested
with the responsibility Of breaking
down the neurosis of soldiers who
honestly believe they are suffering
from heart conditions, when they
have a clean bill of health, and must
be helped to snap out of their COM
pleXes.
