The Koard visited the county poor asylum Nov. 15. 19IS, .and found conditions vveie unusual, as the new boilers were beinr installed and pait of ihe builUir.s: was without heat.

One insane man l.as been here since J.ine. 181?. and we are still tryir.R to place this unfortunate where he will have better accommodations.

Thr were present 4? men, 4 women and 2 boys, a total of 65, a marked decrease in the usual population. There has been a number of prisoners held l.ere a long: time, awaiting: trial, some from 6 to 6 months. The Board talked with Sheriff Barnes and Jailer Plat, who said the Courts were too busy with questionnaires, war board work and polities. Now that some of these are out of the way, perhaps this delay can be avoided in the future. The new matron. Dr. Barnes, has made wonderful changes in the women's cells they warn in splendid condition, and the inmates all spoke glow:nly of the Interest take, in their '-half. These poor unfortunaet women' need a woman's kind ministration. The sheriff promised the board to supply some of the sanitary mattresses in the Jail, after the next appropriation.

The Reconstruction proffram of the Y. M. C. A. will be the main topic of discussion at the nation-wide conference of the Centra! Secretary of the Association to be held at Atlantic, City December Mb. 6th and 7th. An outline of the subjects to be discussed indicates that the V. M. C. A. will endeavor to promote a les clr-cutnscribt-d program without, however, lesins its integrity of purpose. The Y. M. C. A. has rnlaifced its scope tremendously during the last ten years, not only In its outreach to forfien

fields, and Its service for soldiers and i

sailors but also Ht heme. It now alms to be of serviie to the entire community although still retaining the intensive work within the walls of its owr. L: ildintr. Thv conference will tend to stimulate the promoting of Y. M. C. A. pinpiams by committees rather than by the direct efforts of tho secretaries and to learn to nhit extent the organizations throughout the counry are cooperating with all fivii. philanthropic religious, educational and social institutions. The conference aims to be of r.ervice to the Associations in the recruiting tf new men for the work to take the place of the thousands of home secretaries who have gone into the ser.ce in cantonments in this country and With the American Expeditionary Forces in France. Opportunity will be given for the adoption of a standard program of activities, which will contain the best thoughts of the leading secretaries throughout the. -country. Special attention will be paid to the work of the boys and the work in industrial centers. The leading figure at this Conference will undoubtedly be Dr. John R. Mott. who was the National Director of the recent United War Work Campaign. General Secretary A. B. Dickson of the local association, will attnd the conference and left Gary Sunday morning and stopping at Buffalo, Birgb.amton and New York to take up matters of business.

This n a warning to families the influenza hss visited. Do not send bed clothes, garments, linen, etc.. to the laundry without fumigation first. As a result of the carelessness of people In sending soiled linens from houses with "flu" victims the disease has spread. That accounts for the fact that so many girls working in the laundries have had the influenza.

(By I.anrent-e Harris. Those who take the trouble to investigate are shocked at the amount of juvenile delinquency that may be easily observed here in Hammond. It would seem that many parents have "abdicated" and aie satis'led to lelinqulsli their God given right of rearing ther boys and girls to noble manhood and womanhood, to the schools, the police, and to chance. If one takes the trouble to walk about between 8 and 11 p. m. he will discover that large numbers of boys are wandering about our streets and alleys. Some are Coming from "shows" and others are simply "bumming" around. If one takes the trouble to inquire of the stores he will find that petty thieving Is very common among boys 8 t 16 years of age. The percentage of those out of school Is much larger than safety demands. Cigarettes and other tobacco is readily obtained by school boys and others tinder age?

enough that you feed and clothe them. It is not sufficient that you prov.de a bed in which they may sleep. Home must be something more than a place to eat and sle. p when the boy feels like coming home, unless rs are ratisfid to rear a generation vvh-se criminal instinct stiall predominate Home must be a place where life "shared," where the rights of ind vl.luals are respected, and where ind.v:d i1 personality Is allowed to develop if r children are to become real men and women. It is not enough that we have laws against stealing, laws forbidding th .- under 16 from roaming the streets st night there must be in the heart of every parent & stern purpose to foster the principles of right living and decency in his children. Children must be kept at homeat night, not becau it Is contrary to the law, but becau !t Is under the cover of darkness and in the association of unrighteous companions that their downfall is accomplished. Wake up, father, if you are asleep at the switch. Get acquainted -with tha boy cf yours. His ideals may ason'sh you when you and he become acquainted. A scoutmaster recently suggested that a boy's dad might help him leai-n to tie certain knots. At the next meeting the boy was very elated to be ab to report that his father had really shown an Interest and that he had g'v-

perience. Are you acquainted with your boy" Are you merely to h'.m the source of food and shelter. Or re you his pal. his friend the one that he first thinks of when In trouble? The one that he feels free to go to when he needs advice? Answer these questions honestly and let your heart tell you your duty.
