JURY PLEADS THAT YOUTHS OUST UCUOF Chicago Educators Cal! on Students to Forsake 'Gin Code.’ I'.,i I nit, if Pn * u CHICAGO. April 19—A jury of -ix distinguished educators challenged ‘'flaming youth" today to save itself from social and moral deterioration by discarding its code of "the boy, the girl and the bottle.” The jury, called to investigate the grammar school liquor party death of George Lux. asserted that youth alone must take the lead in working out its salvation. To the "gin rode” boldly pnpounded to them by two school girls who participated in the all-night cabaret party which ended in Lux’ death beneath an overturned automobile, the jury replied that young Lux died as a martyr to that code. The jury recognized the automobile, the roadhouse, the beer flat and the speakeasy as sources of moral and social deterioration and urged that every effective means be employed to control ‘‘these sources of corruption in the life of youth.” School Leaders on Jury The jury was composed of Professors Sherman Steele of Loyola university law school; E. W. Burgess, head of the sociology department of the University of Chicago; Samuel Stevens, head of the psychology department of Northwestern university; Edward J. Tobin, county superintendent of schools; Paul T. Buzin, superintendent of Lutheran parochial schools, and Benjamin F. Buck, assistant superintendent of Chicago schools. The jury was called by Coroner E. N. Bundesen to investigate the Lux death and to determine whether there was an unusual amount of drinking among school children. "’he verdict held that. Lux died as the result of an accident, but added “it is our opinion that the fatal accident was due. at least partly, to the intoxication of this boy driver.” Frank Cekaenor, 18, the driver, was not held. Citing the testimony of two girl members of the party, that girls who refused to drink were “oldfashioned” and that girls of 15 to 18 were attending “parties” without knowledge of their parents, the jury said the “facts strike deeply into existing conditions and trends in modern civilization.” Urges Parents to Act “They raise fundamental questions about the home, about the responsibility of parents for conduct of their children, about the function of the school and community In solving problems of youth, and about the changing standards of young people in their social relation. “The jury is impressed by its own serious responsibility for calling the attention of parents and the public to conditions brought out in the case, which seems to be becoming all too general for the public good, and which endanger the welfare of youth.” The report urged that law enforcement agencies press their obligations; that the press create a public opinion, placing a premium on law. order, decency, and character; that the home, school, and social institution aid in the task of developing and guiding youth: and that both youth and parents obtain all the help they can from social agencies best fitted to guide and advise them. Following the report, William J. Bogan, superintendent of schools, appealed to fathers to "give this town a moral house-cleaning.”

1 will oppose the French thesis of universal military training and unlimited trained reserves, but it seems most certain that Germany will take the lead in opposing such principles on the part of France. "I am confident." Lord Cushendun ai serted, in similar vein, “that England can accept any basis for aeriel disarmament to which other nations can agree.” Lord Cushendun’s speech made a marked impression on the members of the commission, inasmuch as it was Great Britain's first expression of opinion. “Foj the first time since the commission convened.” he said, "we are now taking up serious business. | "What the commission really needed to date is a convention for the reduction of oratory. That is why I have not spoken. But the moment has come when it is neces- | sarv to fix the present status of our work.” BLAST BREAKS WINDOWS CLEVELAND, O .

WAVES TELL HEIGHT Wireless Flashes News Hhk'h AMs Aviators. LONDON. April 19.—Wireless waves are the latest things employed to tell an aviator the height he is flying above the ground. A machine sends out a wave to the ground, which rebounds and is picked up again in a series of lights. These lights, vari-colored, flash according to the height of the plane above the ground.
