KINDLY POLICE IN CHICAGO KEEP BOY CRIME DOWN Internationa) News Service Staff Correspondent Chicago. 111.. April 5 — The “Rig Brother" attitude of police to juve nlles has resulted in a surprising lack of young criminals in Chicago, in the opinion of Thomas A. Merryweather, director of the Philadelphia crime bureau. Urged by the increasing number of crimes committed by boys and girls tinder the age of 21 years. Merryweather came to Chicago recently to make a study of police methods here. Philadelphia, Merryweather found, was in need of some means of curbing juvenile criminality, and he belives he has found the means in the ‘ Big Brother” attitude of police here. Jobs For Boys “The work of police in finding jobs for young boys and in guilding them in the right paths seems to have been immensely successful.” Merryweather told members of the Chicago police department. “We found the increasing youth of criminals in the east a source of serious concern. “Boys' in their teens were committing crimes that were almost unbelievable. “For that reason I came to Chicago to study the way the problem was solved here. The results I found from the Chicago system have surprised me. Through their friendly aid. the police have given boys and girls here a real interest in ‘going straight.’ “By canvassing the business men of the city the police have found interesting work for thousands of boys who would otherwise have been on the streets. Criminal Influences “Consequently, those boys have

been turned from the quick money Idea and, more important, have been placed beyond the reach of criminal influences, “in the future it will mean a decrease in criminals, because less boys will be starting on the wrong path.” Since last year, according to the records of the department, the employment bureau of the Chicago police department has found jobs for approximately 4.tM)() boys between the ages of 16 and 21 years. One of the main points of the plan ’ to be put Into operation in Philadelphia will be the boys’ employment service, according to Merry weather. 0 AMERICAN STAGE IS SUPERIOR TO ENGLISH, SAYS FAMOUS ACTOR London—(lNS' —Compared with the American stage, the theatre as a living expression in England does not exist, in the opinion of Leslie Faber, the noted English actor, who has returned here from an American tour to play lead in a new production. “The American stage is infinitely superior to the English because it is alive anti interesting,” Faber told interviewers here. “There is no theatre in England.” He believes the absence of men who will willingly lose large sums of money for the sake of art is the main reason for the future of the English theatre. “Some of the shows in New York are so vulgar and disgusting that one would not have thought it possible for them to be produced.” Faber said. “Many of them, on the other hand, are surpassingly beautiful. “A beautiful play was produced in New York recently that was so long that it had to start at five in the afternon. The people flocked to see it. Hov. many Londoners would go to a theatre at five o’clock? People in England have no love for the theatre. To them it is just a building where one goes after dinner for some amusement.” Faber believes English and American actors and actresses to be about on the same plane, but thinks there is a world of diference between the

GOVERNOR’S HOME DAMAGED BY FIRE Indianapolis, April 5— (INS)- A big charred hole in tho roof of the executive mansion of Governor Fd Jackson today showed how narrowly the gubernatorial residence escaped destruction by fire on Tuesday while Governor and Mrs. Jackson were visiting $t Madison, Indiana. The flames were extinguished by firemen after damage estimated at 12,000 was done. Most of the damage was confined to the roof and to antique furniture stored in the attic. Defective wiring or sparks from a flue was believed to have started the fire By a strange coincidence the flames were first discovered by E. H. Cook, salesman for the General Asbestos and Supply company who was on his way to the governor's mansion to figure on the cost of putting on fire proof roofing. Cook was scanning the roof from a distance as he neared the souse. He was amazed to sqe little tongues of flames licking at the wood work. _o Get the Habit—Trade at Home, it Pays
