Proposed Juvenile Law Bills to accomplish the following three proposals will, be introduced during the current session of the Indiana state legislature: 1. Reduce the age of males under juvenile law from 18 to 16, as it was prior to 1941. 2. Create an intermediate penal institution -to house males between the ages of 16 and 21. 3. Permit the fingerprinting and photographing of juveniles chargied with a felony at the age of 14. ~ Statistics gathered by the Fraternal Order of Police show that 50% of arrests for major crimes of robbery, burglary, vehicle taking, and sex charges are juveniles. Further, the 16 and 17 year olds represent more than one-third of this group. These serious crimes committed, by youths are not “childish pranks” and should not be considered as such. They are often committed by a young criminal already hardened by fending for himself day and night in the city streets. The public can never be safe as long as some.courts are allowed to treat these young men as children. They are no longer children when they commit crimes over a period of time, ranging up into the felony class. The Indiana boys school has been overcrowded for the past five years. One-third of its inmates are in the 16-17 year old class. Training and rehabilitation of those youngsters who can be reformed is not being accomplished because of the tremendous overload, and the presence of hardened 18 year olds in the group with 10, 11 and 12 year olds. The Indiana reformatory, built and budgeted for 1,700 inmates; now houses 2,700. The youths under 21 make up this overflow. An intermediate institution .would solve this problem, and keep teenagers from the. incorrigible adults, possibly salvaging many lives from the under-developed personalities jailed there. Identification of burglars and purse grabbers is most important to the welfare of this community, whether the thief be 14 or 21 years of age. A change in the law to permit photographing and fingerprinting of youths charged with felonies at the age of 14 or over would go a long way towards aiding the police in preparing a case against the young offenders, and placing them where they can receive the help they need before it is too late, before they are hardened adults. The * prints and„photos would not be kept in the criminal files, but in juvenile files for identification purposes only. The public is certainly entitled to this much consideration. It would help identify‘thus®*young criminals who have been baffling and infuriating the. public for several years. These three changes, together with a change requiring the juvenile court judge to release a summary* of cases heard, disposition, and the number of cases still pending, would go a long way towards solving our community problems. What ever happened to the case filed in juvenile court concerning a 21 year old’s contributing to the delinquency, of a minor? It can never be made public unless the people demand it.

Puts Working Girl With Best Dressed Deplores Perennial Ignoring Os Worker By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor ’ NEW YORK (UPI) — Nobody asked me but it’s high time that annual lists of best-dressed females included one girl perennially ignored. She’s the American working girl, who manages a maximum of chic on a minimum of cash. Each year, yours truly is among those 2,500 persons asked by the New York Dress Institute to vote on women we think rate special attention as clothes horses. And each year, some of us faithfully cite the white collar girl. But the (results of the campaign have been nil—so far. looking over the 1958 list which came out this week, I find it’s made up- of the usual bluebldbds, actresses and others of such substantial means that if they aren’t beautifully gowned, they should change courturiers. . ,+ y - Well Turned Out - Now don’t misunderstand. I’m not suggesting that Mrs. Winston Guest doesn’t belong. She always looks well turned out, but she also can afford a wardrobe from Mainboeher. Or the Duchess of Windsor, who is dressed by Balenciaga, Dior, Mainbocher and. Desses. Or Audrey Hepburn,. Who goes to Hubert de Givenchy of Paris for most of her costumes. Okay, let these gals reign as queens of the fashion world. But please, dear Dress Institute, can’t we just one year give a little recognition to Susie Smith, although her clothes come from the budget section of the Bon Ton instead of a Paris salon? . .One of those “best dressed” will spend on one ball gown the equivalent of Susie’s whole yearly clothes allowance. But Susie also looks smart, and she’s worked harder at it. Soap. Water And Energy You'll see what I meair**Just by walking along Fifth Avenue in I

CHAPTER 28 Elizabeth retthg’s caravan left Dodge City while It slept off the effects of a fast and wicked night. Nine wagons, eighteen men hired oy Wright and Beverly, and two Mexicans, Jesus and Juan Azavedo, made up ner company. Elizabeth drove her own wagon and White Bird and the children stayed with her. Lieutenant Butler’s detail was spread very thin through the column. ano from nis quiet manner, she decided that he was still very angry with ner. At Camp Supply they parted with orief words, then Elizabeth headed south with the laden wagons. The weather was turning off warm and the sky fuzzed ominously, promising snow before long. By the time they reached Mustang Creek, ’ three inches ot white lay on the prairie, and each hour added to it. Elizabeth was "a woman who did not oelieve in wasting time; the large building was completed in three days and the goods moved inside, none too soon sot a strong wind came down from the. northwest, bringing the thermometer down to eleven below. The snow was drifted into wavelike windrows across the flats and ail movement stopped; even the Indians stayed away, held to their village by the weather. The teamsters nlred by Wright and Beverly nad no stomach for the solitude ot the plains; they yearned tor the tempo of Dodge, and-Elizabeth paid them off. then watched them ride away, in a great hurry to leave such loneliness oehind. In tate December there was a brief let up tn the cold snap, and ,'frorn the north came two men in wagons. Tom Rettig saw them first and she went outside to see who It was They crossed the creek to the- east of ner and made camp among the trees. Tom Rettig said. ’’Aunt Elizabeth, ain't that Mr Ludke?" •■Yes.’’ she said. "It seems that we are going to have company ’’_ She went into the store for her’ heavy coat, then bucked the snow to the frozen creek and crossed over Ludke saw her coming but did not slacken the strokes ot nis ax. Die man with Ludke looked up and then Elizabeth recognized him as JUsftin Allen, the tobacco-chewing nuisance from Camp- Supply. •'Howdy.” Allen said, and grinned “This ain’t too close for you is it?" •‘Twenty Aniles south of here would be too close.” Elizabeth said flatly. "Max, what are you doing here?” "Cutting wood,” he said and leaned on nis ax. "Justin and I thought we'd go into business " "I handle the business at this crossing. - ' she said. "Now Elizabeth you might think that,” Ludke said, “but it s a tree country and we've got good* to sell, when spring comes ” /"Going to start\a saloon,” Justin Alien wd He - jerked nis thumb toward, the wagons. “Got

New York, or the main drag of any city anywhere, on a work "day. Secretaries, receptionists, clerks, salesgirls — most look as if they just stepped from a bandbox. They’ve learned that one basic dress plus a few accessory changes becomes a whole wardrobe; that it costs nothing to keep hosiery seams straight, skirt hems even. It takes only soap, water and energy to keep blouses gloves, collars and cuff immacult. And Susie may dream of a new suit from Balenciaga, but the., three-year-old one she bought on sale still looks smart because her "find” had classic lines. The hat came from a hat bar, but the way she wears it. who could tell it doesn’t carry a “name” label inside? So here is a salute to the chic of %he working girl. She's on my best-dressed list, even if she didn't make the official one this year.

three hundred gallons of whiskey there." ■" 7 "Shut up,” Ludke said then smiled at Elizabeth. “You don’t mind the competition, do you?” “There are laws against selling booze to the Indians," she said. "Better be careful there, or the marshal will be after you." "I’m not a careless man,” Ludke said. “You sure you don't want to throw in with me, Elizabeth?” “I’m sure,” she said and walked back to her own place. Tom Rettig was waiting for her. “Can I go talk to Uncle Max?" "He’s not your uncle,” Elizabeth said. “Well, you told me to call him that tn Peoria," Tom said. "He was going to be, wasn’t he?” “Yes. at one time he was.” she said. "AD right you can go. But our business is ours alone, Tom. You remember that and keep your mouth shut.” "Yes’m.” He jumped and ran through the snow to. Ludke’s camp. Through supper, Elizabeth had to listen to '’’Wr. Ludke this and Mr. Ludke that until she was ready to scream at Tom. but she. held it back, and afterward was sorry she nad In the days that followed. Tom spent all his spare time across the creek, watching Max Ludke and his partner build their place, and helping him w’hen he could. In. mid January the biting winds let up for a spell and the Kiowas came tn from the south, their ponies laden with buffalo hides and other peltries. Elizabeth traded, for two days, with White Bird actingm translator and Tom helping her so he could pick up snatches of the language. The LndtahlT, curious about the other cabin nestled tn the cottonwood grove.- went over to see what it contained. At dusk, Justin Allen rode south leading a pack horse. The Indians left soon after, and struck out Ln the same general direction. Putting on her heavy coat, Elizabeth walked oyer to “the’ crossing and found Max Ludke waiting tor her. "Where’s Alien?” * "He rode out Said tie was going to hunt some fresh meat." "Max, you’re a liar. He left with a loaded pack horse.” "Well, he took his sleeping robes along," Ludke said, “if gets cold out there.” "He nad enoijgh fire water on that pack horse'to set the whole Kiowa nation on a jzrand toot” Elizabeth snapped. “Max, I warned you once." v He looked at ner for a mjahipnt, then shook nis head. "I doh’ip, let women warn me about anyttfifng, Elizabeth. You ought. to know me that well." He shrugged. "I guess, now that 1 put my mind to it. that Justin did take a few bottles along. What of it? What's wrong with me making a little quick money? Every cent J had is tied up in this venture. ..You’ want to see me lose, la that it?"

Press the spot through a blotter with a warm iron. Repeat until the grease is removed, shifting toe blotter from time to time to keep a clean surface over the spot. Apricots If dried apricots are to be used in breads, puddings or desserts, wash them in warm water, cover with two inches of warm water, and allow to soak for a half hour.

“No, Max. I want to see you make it square. I didn’t know you did business this way.” “What way? I don't know what you’re talking about.” He waved his arm at the miles of white. "Pretty lonesome out here. I never saw anything like it, and once 1 make a stake, I'll never want to see it again. But it’s good to have it so empty, Elizabeth. A man really does make his own law out here, don’t he?”‘ " “You might thing he does,” she said, “but you’ll learn differently.” She walked back to her own place, quite angry with herself, and at the helplessness all women fqel at times. Almost fervently she wished, that Finley Burkhauser would come back, or Harry Butler, or Bat Masterson, or any man she could trust I just cant make it alone, she thought A woman has to have a man. The trading went on, greater than Elizabeth bad ever imagined, and she could not figure out where the Indians were getting the hides. Twice she had to send the Azavedo brothers into Dodge with laden wagons; they returned with more trade goods and an accounting from Wright and Beverly, which proved to Elizabeth that she was making a lot of money for both of them. Then Lieutenant Butler came south with a full company of heavily armed cavalry, and Elizabeth found out where the Kiowa were getting pelts and buffalo hides. The hrmy in Texas was in an uproar for the Kwahadi Co manehes were raiding constantly, drunken raids that ended in senseless killings. Harry Butler wanted to know where they were getting the whiskey, and he Jound out. Justin Allen was trading the jugs to the Kiowa, who tn turn made a trade with the Comanches. The Kiowa were smart enough to boost the price so that -they had enough buffalo hides left over to trade for more whiskey, and trade for the necessities of life. . Butler did not stay, but took hls troop south, deeper into Texas, after Justin Allen, who had been gone for three days with his pack horse. The Azavedo brothers went north again with the wagons, and when they came back they said that the price of buffalo hides had gone up to an all-time high. Elizabeth traded for sixteen thousand hides that winter, and when she tried to buy out Wright and Beverly's share, they offered her fifteen thousand in cash if she would continue another year. The- Azavedo boys brought back the contract and she signed it, making her just about the richest woman west -rt the Ohio River. • y - “Do you think 1 could let you go ?

lakes Issue With Radiation Effects No Evidence Os Infants Deformed WASHINGTON (UPD— A noted radiation expert said today there is no evidence of children being deformed before birth because of X-ray examination of mothers during pregnancy. The expert, Dr. Shields Warren, is chairman of the Committee on Pathologic Effects of Atomic Radiation of the National Academy of Sciences.

i The committee takes issue with parts of a United Nations report, issued last year, on the evil effects of radiation. The committee endorsed the U. N. report in general but found fault with some of its statements and emphases.’ For example, the U. N. report said unborn infants might suffer bodily malformations as a result of exposure in the womb during diagnostic X-ray examination of the mothers. The U. S. committee said the heavier doses associated with radiation treatment might cause such malformations and that simple X-ray examination might induce leukemia in the unborn child. Rut there is jno evidence, Warren said, that any child ever was

born deformed in any way aotely because a physician had examined its mother with X'fays. The Warren Committee also sought to “tone down" the U. N. Report in a number of other places where the members felt it was “too black and too white.”' The disagreements between the U. S. group and the U. N. report involved mainly the effects on the body and its functions of small radiation doses. 20 Years Ago Today — Jan. 8, 1939 was Sunday and po paper was published.
