ENGLAND PAYS FOR NEGLECT OF CHILDREN Amazing Wave of Juvenile Crime Sweeping Nation After 4 Years’ War, CAPITAL CRIMES FREQUENT Half Dozen Youths Convicted or Awaiting Trial for Murder Charges. United Xetcs LONDON, June 27.—England Is paying now for the four years' neglect Which her children suffered, In their country’s need, during the war. That is the commonly accepted explanation of the amazing wave of juvenile crime which is now sweeping the country. Within the past half year half a dozen lads in their teens have been convicted or are awaiting trial on the charge of murder. As for minor offenses by children, they have mounted with startling rapidity. Views of Cecil Leeson. Cecil Leeson. secretary of the Howard League for Penal Reform, puts It this way: **We left children to their own devices. Almost the only adult influence In their lives was that arising from the war passion- “Hate your enemies’ obscured love for the Ideal with which we started, and the children today, bear the scar of war." During the war, offenses by English children rose from 87,000 a year (In 1913) to 61,000 in 1917. This Increase consisted chiefly of thefts. The offenders were boys between 10 and 14 years of age. The Juvenile offender of 1917. has, in many cases, become the “JuvenileAdult” offender of 1922. There is an increase today in the youthful criminals from 16 to 21 years old—and the crimes have assumed a capital character.

It’s Just a simple question of what is good for her health. “I know women will say smoking is no worse for them than it is for men, but it is. “A woman is constituted like fine silk while men are like coarse cotton cloth- You know you can wash cotton in any kind of water, use strong soap, put it through the mangle, hang it in the sun—and it comes out looking just about the same. “That’s the way men are. Take a piece of silk and treat it the same way and you have ruined it That is what men’s vices will do to women. “The finer and more delicate a woman’s constitution, the more she will be Injured by indulging in the things she thinks are signs of her new social freedom.” Committee to Meet The legislative committe of the Central Labor Union, Russell Gilmore, chairman, will hqld an open meeting tonight at 10 South Senate avenue to consider the stand of organized labor in Indianapolis on whether the prop erty owners of the city shall pay for permanent street improvements and repairs.
