serving % months in Jackson

Welfare Law Well Applied

Resort to a little used ano largely forgotten
law by Judge Winfield Smith ct Recorder
Court on Wednesday brought sentences to the
county farm for the negligent parents of two
delinquent boys, frequently picked up for mis-
demeanors and at the time inmates of the
detention home
The law applied by Judge Smith provides,
in effect, that parents guardians or other
persons responsible for the welfare of juve-
niles, but who shirk their responsibilities, are
themselve guilty Of offense and subject to
punishment.
The case is notable in that it puts the blame
for juvenile delinquency where it properly be-
to check an evil that has grown to alarming
proportions in Wilmington and every other
community in the wake OF the nations war
effort.
1t has long and wisely been contended that
the protection and guidance of children should
start in the home, and that waywardness in
most instances can be traced to home negl-
gence. The establishment OF juvenile courts
the employment of probation officers and the
maintenance of detention homes or reform
schools grossly misnamed) are at best sup
Elementary arrangements by which some cor
rection can be effected when the home influ-
ence is inadequate or the predisposition of
throwback children to 60 wrong requires stern
er measures than can be employed at home
The fundamental obligation to save children
from delinquency rests with parents or guard
ians.
This has been accepted as true in theory,
but it has had little practical application, as
is so often the case with good theories. This
is why the sentencing Of these offending par
ents is important. 1t not only serves as a
guide for the handling of other similar cases.
but offers lesson to other parents who have
failed to watch over their offspring properly
which they would DO well to learn.

The Milk Problem

Just what can be done to improve the milk
situation is not easily foreseen, but that some
thing must be done is obvious
With nine diaries closed in recent months
and the proprietor of one of the largest in
southeastern North Carolina letting it be known
among his friends that his losses have be-
come so great he is fully determined to dis
pose Of his herd in a matter OF weeks. it is
shocking to contemplate Wilmington's plight
as time passes.
Already importing large quantities of milk
an uneconomic practice in any circumstance
and unable to meet the consumer demand in
full, greater shortages in the supply are in
evitable with the loss OF every milk COW. Nor
is it certain that milk from other regions
will continue to flow this way With dairy
herds disappearing generally, areas up
which We are drawing part of our supply
may cancel local contracts and deliver their
milk at home.
The problem has been laid on the desk of
the Chamber of Commerce. Hopefully this
organization will find the solution.
A city tax upon consumers tc be turned
over to the diaries, plan tried elsewhere,
does not appear to meet the need Yet, with
dalrymen declaring they cannot deliver milk
at the present price without loss, because of
the increasing cost OF labor and feed, it would
appear that some way must be found for in.
creasng the dairymen's revenue if they are
10 escape bankruptcy and their herds be saved.
How it can be done without raising the
celhng price poses a question for the Cham
Der OF Commerce to answer.

A Courtesy Week

The Community Councils discussion OF the
increasing lack of courtesy brought into the
open condition which has been generally
recognized since nerves grew eogy with the
wars arrival but nobody took the trouble to
point out or overcome
The reasonable hope is that when the council
members carry back the gist Of this discus
sion to their organizations, there m be
launched concerted movement for conmu-
nifty recognition of the need for reform. Per-
haps, it is thought, special Courtesy Week
will be set aside when the simple and easy
rules of politeness will be emphasized and
in the practice of which Wilmingtonians will
have revived such a fixed habit that when
the week ends there will be no relapse to the
general dscourtesy that row prevails. No
doubt there would be advantage to everybody
if this should transpire.
These times are so unsettled everybody is
living under such nigh tension, so many con-
ventions have been blown away by the war,
that individuals in all walks OF life, from
school children to the oldest citizens, have
grown snappy without realizing it.
1t is not typical Of the normal state of
mind here. No people are customarily more
courteous than the people Of Wilmington But
because Of overwork and heavy strain we are
prone to forget our manners, whether we are
in professional life, public office or business,
as head Of the firm unit OIL merely en-
ployes.
1t would be good for our digestion, we'd
rest better and our lives would be happier
if, as the Community Council suggests, we
united in conscientious effort, either through

the Balkan peoples, whose enforced subservi-
ance has been wavering for some time, reason
to think that they can hope for no succor or
relief from the Allies and may except distruc-
ton if they rebel against him. The moral
effect of his success off the coast of Turkey
could easily be as great as the strategic effect.
Why, then, did the Allies move into Dode-
canese islands without sufficient air protec-
ton? The answer is not given out, but it
could be that Turkey was expected to be
drawn into the United Nations at once, in
which case, obviously, large Allie forces
would have gone into action. When this ex-
pectation faded out, the Allies may not have
considered it wise to divert air power to the
islands with other offensives in the making
which will require every plane available.
However this may be, the loss of Leros and
of Cos will call for some explaining before
the final victory in Europe.

AS Others Say It
OUR YOUNGER GENERALS

Statistics of the War department
On the ages of our generals show
an encouraging trend towa r d
youth, particularly in combat units
and the air corps.
The average age of the lila
generals-the list excludes those of
the retired list recalled to active
duty-is 81 years. Fifty-six p r
cent of those serving with combat
units are under so, as are "a per
cent in the air forces. The young
est general is approaching his 54th
birthday.
Much has been said about the
importance of mature judgment
among commanders, but the fact
is that physical stamina, hair
trigger thinking and a critical at
t;tude toward traditions of military
science are frequently required.
With younger generals, the army
naturally has younger colonies and
majors, too, and they see active
service both in the air and on the
ground with far greater frequency
than formerly. 1t is doubtful if
ever an American army had such
large percentage of its top-rank.

WASHINGTON.-Apparently we
are set to be taken for a cynical
profiteer's ride into uncontrolled
price initiation.
Everything around here points
to that.
Unorganized consumers, unor-
ganized workers, salaried men and
women, millions of them, are for
all practical purposes unrepresent-
ed at Washington right now. They
are about to be handed the big
gyp.
Congress is surrounded by lob
byists who know what they want.
They want the lid taken off prices.
That is what the lawyer repre-
senting the Texas cattle growers
told the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee this week. A senator ask
ed what he wanted in place OF
price control. He said he wanted
the law of supply and demand.
That is a polite way of asking
for a profiteer's market. Ber-
nard Baruch has said a lot about
that With the government, the
war, as the big customer for ev-
erything, you cannot have normal
operation of supply and demand
as a price regulator. Demand is
abnormal because of the war. OF
course everybody knows that. This
is only demand for collecting all
that the traffic will bear under
these abnormal conditions.
The figures show what is being
done now to hold down meat prices
as against what happened in the
last war when prices were uncon-
trolled, as the cattlemen's lawyer
advocates now.
Here are the Bureau of Labor
statistics retail price increases
for the war years July 1914-18 and
the corresponding price increases
in the four years of this war. In
percentages the figures are as fol-

token of esteem from the people
of one nation to another and we
never forget it. Coffee is Brazil S
