CONSIDER CHILDREN FIRST, SAYS JUDGE

Too Many Rush Headlong to Divorce, Asserts City Jurist. BY SHELDON KEY Stigma that unsparingly touches the lives of tiny, innocent children is the most glaring evil of modem divorce, according to Superior Judge Clarence E. Weir of Marion county. From his bench in superior room four, Judge Weir is imploring wives and husbands to “think of their children before they sue for divorce.” The judge thinks that divorces soon would decrease in number if parents would consider their offspring and remember that ‘‘every child has a right to be well born and well reared.” "Most serious problem the court faces is what to do with children when their parents are separated,” the judge declared. ‘‘Chidless marriages do not worry us much.” Policy of Judge Weir’s court is to allow the children to be placed in the home where environment is best. In most divorce cases, the children stay with the mother, especially if they are very young. In his desire to protect children involved in one divorce suit this week, the judge told the father he might visit his children if he promised not to do so while under the influence of liquor. In another case, where mother and father both were deaf and dumb, he allowed the grandmother to take a small baby that she might teach It to talk. “I do wish that folks would consider the future of their children before bringing their difficulties into court,” the judge said. "A little thought as to what the future holds for their children would decrease divorces appreciably,” Judge Weir’s divorce doctrine emphasizes. In many cases in which Judge Weir points out to parents their duties to their children, reconciliations are reached ‘ soon. "Mothers usually display a keener and more sacrificing love for their babies than the fathers,” Judge Weir says his experience has indicated.

COPS' SWITCH HELPSTRAFFIC Reassignment Relieves Men of ‘Entanglements/ Reassignment of all police traffic officers to different posts last: Tuesday has aided materially in reducing traffic congestion by relieving the officers of “entangling alliances,” Captain Lewis Johnson said today. The change was made, Johnson said, because when a traffic officer is assigned to one corner tco long, he makes numerous friends who attempt to impose on him to overlook their cars, if parked too long, and to get stickers “fixed.” Similar changes will be made probably every two months.

Scouts Morals By United Press TORONTO, Ont., June 5. The Boy Scouts and the Y. M. C. A., “like parents, sometimes get too moralistic for the good of the children's mental health,” Dr. Lawson C. Lowrey, director of the Institute in Child Guidance. New York, charged here today. “I believe the Y. M. C. A., Boy Scouts, the Y.W C. A. and parents are very valuable aids to child training,” he said, “but their overemphasis on morality sometimes causes neurosis in children.” Dr. Lowrey’s statement came during a session of American psychiatrists in convention here. moving the traffic officers to different posts, they become better acquainted with the downtown area and are able to make valuable suggestions, Johnson added.
