CRIME INCREASE AMONG YOUTH PUZZLES JUDGE Eight Boys, One Girl in City Court in One Week, Sheaffer Declares. • What is happening to the boys ynd girls of America?” This question was asked today by Municipal Judge William H. Sheaffer at a hearing on the case of Fred Berting, 17, of 720 Grove street, Technical high school pupil, held as a bandit suspect in the Apollo theater robbery attempt early Tuesday, ‘ I can’t understand what is happening to the youth of the nation,” Sheaffer said. “Serious charges arc being placed against boys and girls in increasing numbers. “In the last week I have had ight boys and a girl before me on crious charges,” Sheaffer stated. One of the cases, he pointed out, is that of Miss Vera Wood, 17, Shortridge high school pupil, charged with automobile banditry and robbery after she is alleged to have held up eleven persons with a toy pistol Tuesday. She claimed she was drunk while perpetrating the alleged robberies. Several other cases in Sheaffer’s court., involving vehicle thefts and larency charges against boys, were referred to the county grand jiiry. Berting, who played hooked from school the day of the Apollo robbery attempt, was bound over to the grand jury under SI,OOO bond on a banditry charge. He and a companion, believed to have fled from the city, are suspected of being the bandits who bound two employes in seats in the movie house, but who fled when they lost their nerve. Berting confessed the robbery attempt, police said, but denied he escaped from the scene in a stolen automobile. OGDEN HOLDS STOCK SALT SALES ILLEGAL Bans Offers of Free Veterinary Service Made to Farmers. Salt salesmen, who peddle their product to farmers for livestock feeding, must cease offering free veterinary service, Attorney-General James M. Ogden ruled today. The opinion of the attorney-gen-eral was sought by H. R. Kraybill, state chemist at Purdue university. His request set out that a certain concern selling salt for cows and horses is guaranteeing the farmer free veterinary service and market price awards if a cow or horse died during the period the salt is fed them properly. Although labeled “This is no livestock insurance,” the so-called guarantee is just that, the attorneygeneral held, and “this selling practice must cease, since insurance must come under the state insurance regulatory laws.” MORGAN SEEKS JOB OF COUNTY COMMISSIONER Julietta Superintendent Announces Candidacy on Republican Ticket.

BY BEN STERN When “Alfalfa Bill” Murray speaks at Cadle tabernacle Thursday night, turn out to see and hear him. No matter what you think of his presidential pretensions, you shouldn’t pass the opportunity to see the gaunt, shaggy-haired exponent of "government for the people,” whose appearance and delivery hark back to the day of the pioneer. And above all you must see that Niagara of mustache cascading down over a nickel cigar, his most characteristic- mark of Identity. The manner in which he expertly brushes back this adornment in his moments of high flowry oratory alone is the trip to Cadle tabernacle. He brings back the days of personal politics when a candidate ran for office unencumbered or hampered by written platforms, but enunciated its planks in his speeches. Clothing wrinkled by the long trip from Oklahoma, cigar ashes sprayed over his coat, and his muffler wrapped about his lean neck, the Oklahoma Governor disdained to tidy up in the room provided for his rest, but, with a whisk of his hand, completed the disarray of shaggy locks and stepped upon the platform before 700 sartorially correct members of Rotary Tuesday afternoon. The rough exterior, however, be-

Spring Is Here

Sinyers of Frosty Dawn

BY DR. FRANK THONE Science Service Staff Writer W'HERE the snows have melted away from the pastures and fallow lands, there the hardy early wayfarer may find the horned larks. If he walks quietly, he will hear their songs—thin, reedy, sweet little pipings; not the full-throated warnings of their later coming and larger brethren, but all the pleasanter now for being heard in a desert season. The "horns’ that give the little lark its name really are tufts of feathers, one above each ear. They are so small that normally one can not see them with the naked eye at ranges which the bird will permit one to approach. But a pair of opera glasses or a low-power field glass will make them easily visible. Such optical aid also will make it possible to study the interesting black markings on brow, cheek and throat. The ground hue of the head, aside from these black markings, is either white or yellow; the rest of the bird’s body is "sparrow-colored.” Both male and female have the “horns” and the head markings; immature young lack them and look a good deal like sparrows. In some regions the horned larks hardly stay the winter through. Where the severity of the storms does drive them out, they do not go far. They are not afraid of snow and cold, and can pick up a thrifty living on weed seeds and wild fruits. They are strictly ground dwellers, even perching on the bare earth at night when they sleep. This keeps them down where they can do, the most good as destroyers of next year's potential weed crop. . NEXT: The Bees’ First Feast.

lied the inner man, which he revealed to be one of rare scholarship, charm, and courtesy. Asa raeonteur of homely tales, Murray rates with the old masters and from lapses into the idiom to emphasize some point, the Oklahoma Governor climbs the heights of philosophy and the history of forgotten empires and republics to bring home the lesson of decadence through lack of leadership, which was his topic. His knowledge of constitutional law surprised the members of the bar in the audience and he quoted the classics in much the manner of the av'd student. tt u Murray is a showman, but his thinking is honest. He impressed all with his manifest sincerity and honest thinking. He is no shrinking violet, however, when it comes to admitting that he is good, as he amply demonstrates. Yet the self-praise is forgotten in his force of utterance. The type of political philosophy which he represents is illustrated best by the following quotation from his Rotary address: “This nation can not survive halffed and half-starved! I can not endure with magnificent banquets for one class and soup houses for the other!” You should hear Murray.

PLEAD FOR MOONEY Mass Meetings Will Appeal for Pardon. By Scripps-Haward Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—Marking the fifteenth anniversary of the sentence to death of Tom Mooney, a series of mass meetings will be held all over the east today, to urge Mooney’s pardon. The largest of these meetings will be in New York’s Bronx coliseum, which holds 25,000 persons. Simultaneously, in sixteen other American cities, “free Mooney” meetings will be held. Among the larger of these will be in Chicago, Detroit and San Francisco. At the New York meeting will be Tom Mooney’s mother. Disregarding her doctor’s orders, "mother” Mooney set out from San Francisco at the last minute. Her doctor warned her that to travel across the continent and speak at a big protest meeting might cause her death from heart disease. She determined, however, on the eve of Governor Rolph’s anticipated decision on the world-wide pardon plea, to risk her own life in the attempt to free her son.

SNOW-TRAPPED TOWN IS FACING HUN6ERDAN6ER Silverton, Colo., Marooned —Has Food for Only Two Weeks Left. By United Press SILVERTON, Colo., Feb. 24. Desperate efforts will be required to save this snow-bound gold mining center from hunger and suffering, E. B. Allen, Silverton bank cashier, told the United Press today. The 1,750 residents checked up their supply of canned foods and found it would last just two weeks. But railroad officials estimated it would take forty-five days to clear the seventeen miles of track leading in here, and now buried under a frozen mass of snow, ice, rocks and trees. Two weeks ago snowslides started roaring down the mountain sides, crushing everything in their path and choking the narrow gorges that form the only access to Silverton. A great inland iceberg was formed, more than forty feet deep in places. Rotary snowplows have been cutting at the mass with giant steel blades for days, but have made little progress. No appreciable amount of food and fuel can be brought here until the railroad is cleared. Men on snowshoes could pack food in over the snow-filled, dangerous trails, but the fifty-mile journey from Durango, the nearest town, is difficult and slow. “The food situation is becoming serious,” Allen said. “It is doubtful that the canned foods left here will last two weeks. We still have fuel but the supply is dangerously low.” Rail workers bundled up like Arctic explorers to withstand the biting winds of the pass, 10,000 feet above sea level, continued today to push slowly, through the huge ice barricade. SEEKS AID IN MURDER Mrs. Mose Patterson, Chicago, asked Indianapolis police today to locate her husband to inform him that their daughter Margaret is dead in Chicago, a murder victim.
