SOME DON’T HA VE CONTR OL OF A CTIONS Mrs, Stubbs Discusses Mental Processes of Richard Loeb —Boys Must Be Busy,
SOTE—This is the second ot two articles by Mrs Martha J. Stubbs, Indianapolis. student of psychology, who recently spent several days attending the Franks murder trial in Chicago. BY MARTHA J. STUBBS Boys like adventure, they are daring and fearless (that is why the air department in time of war wanted the airplanes manned by boys and not older men), if they can steal an automobile and have a joyride, they are ahead and foygive themselves in the thought that they have put one over on you. (If a boy can break a law. he relieved hia curiosity by doing it. Richard Loeb (and thousands of others), took a drink because it made him assume the air of a man, according to his own calculations, and his pleasure came not in the taste, or in the effect, but in the doing and not being caught in the act. He is entering anew realm of life, and usually does It with a bang. But now comes a test that goes farther than the natural instinct. Some boys positively can not help their short comings; and their will which at best is only In the making, and is not strong enough to controrl their actions; and their sense of moral regulation, which oftens lacks cultivation in the home, is not great enough to cope with the situation and the boy falls. Two Parts of Brain The upper part of the boy's brain, which is the seat of intellect, may be highly developed and he may ba a brilliant student. The cerebrum may be functioning on doubletime. At the very same minute, that part of the brain situated ir the back part of the head may fcs defective and a child may be helpless in its spell, just as he >s helpless when he is mentally defective, and thereby be rendered unable to con trol his emotions. Richard leb was this type of a boy. There is another great and very pronounced instinct which is usually a controlling factor in the life of a boy—the gang instinct. The gang instinct asserts itself at about the age of ten years and its gang membership is transient, until the permanent gang at about fifteen years is fixed. Not very many depredations have been committed by boys but what were wholly or in part trace able to “gangs.” Not many boys do things lone-handed. They have one or more accomplices. It sat in the Criminal Court room in Chicago for ten days listening to the evidence in the Loeb-Leopold case, consulting with their parents, friends and associates, and that Leopold was the victim of gang instinct, at the hands of an emotional dramatic leader, is certain. In gang form, beginning at about fifteen years of age, they stole machines and threw brickbats, just as hundreds of boys have done,

some being sent to prison for their caprices, others not being apprehended. Loeb and Leopold, together or in gang form, robbeds-their fraternity house at Ann Arbor, Mich., and fially defective emotions led them on until, reveling in weird experiences, they victimized their little neighbor boy. Each sought protection in the other. Each was unsuspected at home. Richard Loeb’s beautiful eyes and childish personality made him appealing to his friends, and as is the case in all escapades, he sought and found protection in suspicion not being directed toward him, until his sphere of trickery and criminality enlarged and he set a trap for himself, into which both boys accidentally fell. Chance of Escape The higher the mental power, the stronger the boys''chances of escape, mental fashioning and planning being a great asset to emotional defeat. Leopold, with the more powerful mentality, put on the brakes to steady the job. but he was in the throes of a “gang leader” and was the “slave of the king,” Loeb, he worshipped, and with whom he sometimes quarreled and very often chided, because of the infirmities which he (Leopold) could see in his leader (Loeb), but which he could not interpret psychologically, because his years had not been mellowed by experience and because of his faith ,n his leader. Leopold's faith and strict adherence to his leader made him weak. Loeb's absolute dependence upon Leopold's character, superiority and dependability made him bold. So It is with all gangs. Gangs seldom commit murders when there has been no positive offense, but in this case defective brain control, superinduced by powerful mentality, brought about the idea of committing some great, some unusual, thing into which many people would be drawn and would perform dramatic parts and only the wise minds of the perpetrators would enjoy the panorama. a Gangs burn buildings, steal auto mobiles, rob banks and terrorize communities. Gangs live in a gang world and have a gang conscience, swearing allegiance to each other in a most remarkable manner, and people should study the cause to remove the trouble instead o£ inflicting punishment without mercy. Mill Cause Study One hundred years ago England hanged a child for petty thefts and America's early laws were contami nated with “stocks" for punishment for children, witchcraft abounded and our grandparents were years in breaking the seals of ignorance and settling matters on a scientific basis. This unprecedented murderr affair in Chicago will awaken people to a deeper and more consistent study of child life. Many homes wearing high sounding titles, have within their dominion helpless children, of the abnormal, subnormal, neurotic or exceptional type and the parents have no conception of either the cause or the remedy. Mothers have long been divided into two distinct elements, the class that has been attracted to domestic duties and permitted their children to grow in “Topsy” fashion and struggle to keep them clothed and fed; and the clasfe that have had social prestige and money and kept a governness and had wine in the cellar and desecration in the drawing room. Gypsy Smith’s father in a gypsy camp, with a Bible in his hand, and a thought in his head, might be cited as a living example of keeping children’s minds taut. Too much money expended without thought or restraint has been responsible for many boy’s downfall

during adolescency. Over indulgence of parents is not love, it Is desecration in the life of a child. Richard Loeb's pin money amounted to more than an average man's salary. His bank account was $l,lOO. at the time of his trial, out of which he could draw as he pleased. He had no tasks to do. neither had Leopold, and neither of them ever attended public school and enjoyed the rough and tumble fights and association of other children, but were chaperoned each morning and evening to and from “Harvard Private School” by governesses, and when at 15 years of age, unable to meft a world they did not know, they were turned loose with $125 per week and a bright red roadster to drive where they pleased, with their ego well coached and their mentality overdone and their emotions underdone, what might be expected? Consequently their entire time out of school could be given over to thoughts that invaded or pervaded their minds. Boys w-lth nothing to do but study, with plenty of money and machines think of sex first, of caprices, pranks, drunken revelry and crime. Idleness breeds mischief. Every boy and every girl should have tasks to perform! When childless wives and spinsters are supplanted by real mothers who have understanding hearts in sorting out the things children should do. and imposing a tax upon their behavior, the world will have turned one progressive round in the study of child life. Children should not be overworked in factories, where one child out of every eleven labors in the United States, neither should children be kept from work until they are IS years old, in accordance with a tentative plan striving to be made a law, else years will tell us that many homes harbor wayward youths. It is to be hoped that the day of society brews and aristocratic pitfalls in the United States are about at an end. and that people will work and think along cooperative lines which will make for the betterment of society, through the children which are its basis. No child, unless filled with hereditary wrong, can fail to feel the effects in after life of being “brought upon the nurture and admonition of the Lord."

Bashful Bird Refused to Discuss Drama, but Acted Like an Ostrich
•fly WALTER D. HICKMAN 'jOME “actors’* will not be interviewed. i__J Made up my mind that I would journey out to Riverside Park and have a chat with Mister Snake Turkey. ‘ Mister Snake Turkey and his companion, Lady Turkey, occupy a summer bungalow In the park. They have many visitors daily, but these queer birds have a strange way about'’em. They sit on a perch and greet you with their funny looking head, nearly all bill. Then with a na ighty wink these two birds twist their necks about and hide their head, bill and all, under their tall. These birds must be long distant relatives of the ostrich. The ostrich has the trick of hiding its head in the sand, but the snake turkey does not even wait for a sand pile. Who can tell but these strange birds may be the magicians of the feathered crew. I know one thing, that they are not polite. It is the first time that an "actor” has hid his head on me. Two fancy birds are housed close by and I even could not get a graceful strut out of ’em. All they did was to pose, and frequently they let of a handkerchief. Another one was ed like a 6 o’clock whistle. I felt sure that the monkeys would attempt to strike up some sort of a acquaintance but the monks were all busy. One little fellow was trying to make a veil out of a handkerchief. Anohetr one was exploring the mysteries of a peanut shell. There are many other animals and birds at the park, but the most interesting of all are the snake turkeys. I would not want that kind

STATE SINKING 'DEEPERIN DEBT Increase in Levy Predicted by Deputy Auditor, Figures at the auditor of State’s office show the State is steadily falling further into debt instead of climbing out. Notwithstanding the fact that the State levy was increased last year, the debt has mounted from $3,390,000 in September, 1923, to $4,240,000 at present. Carl Cue, deputy auditor, estimates the levy will have to be increased from 30 cents to 31.5 or 32 cents this year in order to keep pace with the rising costs of administrating State affairs and pay off the general fund’s indebtedness to the several other funds. The State also is borrower of $2,500,000 on notes to the Meyer-Klser Bank which must be redeemed Dec. 31. The only method of redemption is to issue new notes, Cue says.
