President Hill cleared his throat.
"Ah-Mr. Belzer and l were just
discussing that problem. At first /
was Of your opinion, but he has a
rather good thought"
"Yeh," interrupted the reporter
IF you don't talk. the papers print
rumors, probably all wrong"
II see Mr.. Belzer's point" the
president agreed, although I natur-
ally was reluctant at first. Perhaps
it would be good to tell him every
thing we know. He won't go
wrong"
The blind boy spoke up. But

Professor Halder was stabbed to
death in his room about midnight
last night"
President Hill corrected him.
Not stabbed to death. He was
stabbed in the back. and died
later"
"Okeh. Anyway, the guys dead.
And the knife was stuck in his
back while he lay in bed. The po-
lice say the room was locked tight.
That right"
The president nodded. He mo-
toned to Clemantine to take a
chair, then sank back into his own
comfortable seat. THE windows
and door, and even the transonn,
had been bolted on the inside. Otto
was afraid OF attack at night. The
invention on which he was working

Of the same building in which he
slept, on the very night he per-

stood guard at the doors!"
WAS it very large ?"
About twice the size OF this
one" President Hill fingered the
tube which the two women had
thought oversize. "A person might
hide it under a large coat, If no one
looked at him closely. Otherwise it
would be hard to spirit it out Of
the building"
THE thief must be a phantom. d"

The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1943-02-12
By ADELAIDE KERR
APP Feature Writer

Dorothy Richardson's sons job
is finding solutions for the war
time teen-age delinquency prob
lem.
A wave of delinquency among
adolescents and increased preg-
nancy among the teen-age girls
has made the 12- to 18-year- olds
one of the country's major war
time worries.
Miss Richardson, who is con-
sultant in the adolescent field for
the USO division of the YWCA,
comedies that the teen-agers are a
problem. But she refuses to be
frightened by it. She says there is
a cure.
''The war has given the teen
ayers a lot of adult experiences
and problems which they are not
equipped to handle" she says.
Many homes have been dis
rupted because both parents are
working. Lots of youngsters can't
go home for any fun after school
because somebody is always asleep
at home these days The girls in
other families have no place to
receive their beaux because some
body sleeps in the living room.
Lots of teen-age boys and girls
have after school jobs. So they
have more money to spend than
ever before. But they have no
place to 60 for recreation. The
corner drug store and hamburger
joint, where they used to congre-
gate, are crowded with men in uni
form and other adults. So the kids
hang around ON street corners,
loaf in music stores and play the
records or jam the movies and
dance halls. This constant meeting
with adults everywhere has made
them want to act groWn-up' be-
fore their time. But in most cases
nothing has been planned for
them. So they do the best they
can. It's not fair to call them de
inquents.'
Miss Richardson, a soft voiced
Virginian who is stationed in New
York, bases her observations on a
recent trip she made to the west
and south to investigate the war
time teen-age problem.
"The cure" she says, ''lies in
giving the youngsters a teen-age
version of the grown-up things
they want to do. First, they want
to do ,war work. So give them a
chance. The girls can work in the
USO FASTING UP scropbooks and

feet of wartime employment in
mill town homes says the men are
dressing more neatly.
Wives tell visiting nurses their
husbands are taking more time to
clean their grime-stained hands,
and that takes more soap. Instead
of two clean shirts a week, now
they want three or four. They
don't like to wear torn or patched
clothing on the job, either.
And so the wives have to spend
more money on the husband up

GENERATION

doing other chores. The boys can
gather scrap.
Second, provide something
they like for their recreation
hours, when all they want to do is
blow off steam in a perfectly nor
NAL way. They want to dance in
a place where there are soft lights
and tables around the floor. They
think it is sophisticated because
the grown-dps do it. So fix up a
place with soft lights and tables
where they viii have a place to
dance - and they viii be perfect
ly content with soft drinks and
milk. -
Give them a place where they
can stage amateur theatricalS and
extemporaneous programs. Or a
room where they can play good
music and prop up their heels and
dream.
"The youngsters want a chance
to plan and run their own parties.
They don't like chaperones, who
sit around the walls and watch,
but they will stand for 'hostesses'
who mingle in the fun. Schools,
churches, and private agencies
should get behind this kind of help
for teen-agers. Let them sit on the
committees and do some of the
work. We create places for the
soldiers. So why not for the kids?
For the youngsters - and the
adults they become - will be with
us for long, long time" l5
