YOUTH IS NO BAR TO TERM ON CHAIN GANG Lad, 16, If He Is Husky, Sent to Work With Other Wanderers. General GUmdord, former Washington police chief, whose humane handling of the bonus army last summer brought him into conflict with the administration. has been studying the problem, crefteu by hundreds of thousands of sinoering boys in this country. At present he is visiting the southeastern states, to which large numbers of the wanderers have flocked during the cold weather, ills second article follows. iii GEN. PELHAM D. GLASJ3FORD GrtEEN ViLLE, a. C; Jan. 23. Leaving Greemmoro, i pioted up Guy with tnree youtns in tne “junkie oulbiue the town. Guy, my son, who accompanies me Oh Uus trip, is proving himseil an theeuve heid worker. He is 21, ana iiauess, wearing an old windbreaker, anu moidng sligntly unkempt, is moisting uisna ole from hurtuieds of otner ooys i have met and taiKeu witn on the road. Witnout his heip, l am sure I couidn t get very muen out of the boys, wim generally are shy and aiways suspicious, defensive, with an older man, particularly one wno shows an interest in them, questions them. Any consideration from one obviously not on the road, and they immediately are suspicious of motive. Approaching a large town, my usual procedure is to drop Guy in the outskirts, near the “jungle,” to which he mi kes his way alone. Later, after interviewing local officials, railroad police and welfare workers, I return to the jungle. Suspicious of Strangers By that time Guy has made friendly terms with some of the fellows, and I find him squatting with a group around a fire. We greet each other casually. I, too, squat by the fire, in silence. The boys eye me furtively at first, but shortly, std by Guy, fall again into their easy chatter. So long as I hold my tongue and let the talk run where it will it flows on, but if I inject a question it stops short. The three boys were wailing for a south-bound freight train, and promptly accepted my offer of a li£t in their direction. One of them, Edward Maguire, 19, was a high school graduate from Pleasantville, N. J., a fine looking, well-mannered lad. He had been on the road for several months since losing a grocery store job in Atlantic City. He claimed to be an orphan, said he had no relatives who could give him a helping hand. Believe There Is a Job The other two boys had been out of employment nearly a year. That is, voluntary employment. One of them had been released the day before from the county workhouse at Greensboro. Picked up by the railroad police, he had served twenty-two days for “riding the rails.” He spoke of it with humor, and said it was the only steady work he had found in a year. Both youths were aiming for New Orleans, where they heard seamen were in demand. A job in New Orleans! Just a rumor. I suppose, one of the many circulated about in flop houses and jungles. I have heard men and boys, in all seriousness, passing their rumors on to each other. Invariably the job is in some distant point, and they seem to believe it, or at any rate they accept it, probably because it gives them some objective for their wanderings. Youngster in Chain Gang At Charlotte, N. C., soap, water and a comb made my hitchhikers surprisingly presentable. Entering a quick-lunch we might have passed for a group of men on a hunting trip. At Spartanburg, my first task was to look up Jack Long who, according to my youthful informant of the night before, had been "tapped” there by the police. Jack was not to be found in the local jail. I was told, however, that he might be in one of the five chain gang camps recruited from the county jail. “But the youngster is only 16,” I said, “surely you wouldn’t; put him in a chain gang.” "You can’t tell about their ages,” the official replied. “If he's husky looking he's probably with a gang, all right.” Dark Ages of Penology Farther on, between Greer and Grenville, I stopped at one of the camps. It was dusk, and ninetyfive convicts were huddled together in the bunk house, preparatory to turning in for the night. Stepping into the gloom of that room I felt that I was stepping back into the dark ages of penology. All the men were garbed in grotesque and misfitting striped suits, and an iron chain and shackles hobbled their ankles. I was struck by the blank indifference on the faces of the older men. Only here and there a sharp and Intelligent or a hard-looking one peered at me. There were many young faces in the group, still fresh* and unspoiled by their experience. Some of them, like our young passenger, were guilty of nothing but their hopeless efforts to find a job. ROYAL ARCH DIVISION MEETING SCHEDULED Indianapolis Delegates to Attend at Cambridge City.

A New Tone Composition Halts Enesco’s Recital

Violinist Finds Great Beauty in Mozart Concerto. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN What I call anew tone composition, 'Le Chevrier,” by Woollet, halted the violin recital of George Enesco at the Academy of Music Sunday and caused an applause panic in the audience. The result was that the program was halted while Enesco repeated this number which to me was filled with refreshing new tone pictures. This outburst of applause came after a rather heavy dose of Brahams’ "Sonata. No. 1, G major” for piano and violin, and after a most satisfactory reunion with Mozart's delightful movements in “Concerto, No. 7 D major.” This Woollet composition, “Le Chevrier,” had a strange effect upon me because it started me to dreaming of a great meadow on a farm. Probably I am just as near to the real meaning of the piece as I am to a solution of the depression. With the mastery of Enesco for those high, whispering airy notes, “Le Chevrier” became such a beautiful tone picture that I joined in with the applause and so helped stop the recital. There is a brilliancy to this composition that is entrancing and it was given the most skillful playing that Enesco possesses. Again “Kaddisch,” by Revel-Gar-ban inspired Enesco to cause another ovation of pleasure on the part of those present at the Academy of Music. Enesco has always been a favorite with the Indianapolis Maennerchor audiences and his recital yesterday continued and re-enforced him in that position. In the final programed number, “Introduction et Rondo Capriccioso,” by Saint-Saens, Enescoe produced by gull tones. He is an expert in technique and he can certainly make his violin whisper in airy tones. The Saint-Saens number revealed inspired playing although the Brahms sonata left me rather lake warn and unsatisfied. It was in the Brahms sonata for violin and piano that the work of Sanford Schlussel, accompanist, stood out. He plays a most quiet and effortless piano and he is entirely free of any fireworks. So pronounced was his success that he shared the applause after each movement of the Brahms sonta. PLANT DEVOURS STEAK Beef Is Substituted for Insects to 4 Feed African Growth. By United Press WEST DE PEERE. Wis., Jan. 23. —An African plant, the Darlingtonia. is doing very nicely at the terrarium of St. Norberts college on a diet of beefsteak. The plant, which resembles a large briar pipe, subsists on insects in its native environment, but the steak was substituted when no insects were available here.

L. Thorndike and his students, show people generally can learn anything they wish to learn up to 45, and even much beyond, better than young people prior to about 18. Around 18 is perhaps the best learning period, but the decline from then on is so slight and is so balanced by added interest and persistence that age proves no handicap worth considering. 3. No. And this answer is not based upon any abstract theory of absolute right and wrong, but upon the sheer necessity that a man must give up some rights to secure the larger rights and greater safety of organized society. So in civilization he gives up some of his wild freedom in a primitive life to secure cooperation of his -neighbors. When he resorts to sharp dealings with them, he is going back to savagery—trying to sponge off of the benefits of society and give nothing in return.

‘Worst’ Word Butler Professor Would Bar ‘Erg’ From Language. ANOTHER word has been added to the list of the “world’s worst.” Joining with other university professors in selecting “pet abominations,” Professor Claude Sifritt, head of the Butler university speech department, thinks the word “erg” should be stricken from the language. His dislike of the word is intensified because it recently became widely used in discussions of technocracy. And there's another one, the professors says. “That word ‘technocrat’ is a close second among my etymological abominations,” he says. “Aside from the psychological effects of their meanings, certain words cause a positive or negative response according to the ♦grouping of sounds. In ‘erg’ we have two ugly sounds because ‘r’ and ‘g’ occur together.” NAB 6 AS 'HOT GAR' SUSPECTS One of Men Said to Be Pal of Negro Slain by Police.

He is William Bingham, alias Edwards. 19, of 1240 Yandes street, who is alleged to have escaped under police fire Dec. 22, when Charles Kittrell, 22, Negro, was shot and killed near Tenth street and Capitol avenue after being trapped by police in a stolen auto. Five other Negroes were arrested as alleged members of the theft gang. They are James Roper, 27, and a brother, Charles Roper, both of 2412 Ethel avenue; Robert Bates, 21, of 2736 Columbia avenue; Clint Rolles, 40, William Carlysle, 40, both of 2402 Indianapolis avenue. Several hundred dollars worth of stolen goods was recovered at scene of the road, Eighteenth street and Senate avenue, police say. Rolles and Carlysle walked into the place as the raid was being made. They came to buy liquor, they told police.
