batlon. Eighty per cent of the children who were brought under the care of the probation officer were committed to one of the juvenile institutions

and twenty per cent discharged. Vplunteera ServicesJohn Melpolder, secretary -of the Wayne County Social Service bureau

said today that if the county commissioners wanted to place the probation work in the bands of the bureau, he would be ouiy tco glad tq do it at no expense whatever to the taxpayer. He has bad experience in probation work at Indianapolis and was chief probation officer at Yonkers, N Y.' It the county commissioners decide to take this action, it will save the county at least $500 a year in salaries. "Probation work," said Mr. Melpolder, "is of utmost importance in, the disposition of juvenile cases.' The administration of probation may be considered under two beads the work preliminary to ' actual probationary !W J 1. J V... V. V,I.

probation officer." The following is a statement, reprinted from the report of the investigating committee, in regard to the recommendations made by the. probation officer from 1907 to 1915: Thirty-two, no recommendation made; three, recommendation ."to be placed under proper care;" six, recommended to be "made wards of the board of children's guardian;" nine recommended that a "home be found;" seventy-one, recommended to ' be placed in institutions. Recommendations Taken. The Investigation further shows that the court was governed largely by these recommendations by the record of the disposition of cases as shown In the Order book from 1907 to 1915:; Seven, released in custody of relative; twenty-eight, made wards of board of children's guardians with in

structions to find homes for them; 102 made wards of board of children' guardians with instruction to find foster homes or to be placed in institutions; twenty-three, made wards of board of children's guardians with instructions to place in institutions; seven, committed to institutions direct by court. Of these 167 dependent children ap

pearing 1b court, only thirty-five, or 31 par cent,- definitely escaped commit ment to institution and 79 per were committed to institutions. ' Experience of other counties has shown that this is a much too large per cent of children committed to inatitutiona and placed on the expense account of the county. The children are not given aa good a chance to reform as if they were placed, bp probation by a local officer and made; to report regularly. Probation Solvea laaue. "Probation has been found to be the proper method of handling a large per cent of wayward children," said Mr. Melpolder today. "In choosing persons to be placed on probation, the court should aim to select -only those who need oversight and help and who may reasonably be expected to profit from it without meanwhile being a menace to society. It a boy's record shows inveterate depravity which can be eradicated only by prolonged and proper individual treatment in an inStutltipn, committment is recognized as the proper course. But since the majority brought before the court are amenable to friendly influences and watchful care, the court should resort frequently to probation."' One of the most important parts of probation work is the preliminary investigation that should be made before trials. In his work in Yonkers, N. Y., children which were brought to him were placed on probation for three months except in cases of truancy, when the period was until the close of the school yearMr. Melpolder said that he la not seeking the position but that if the commissioners saw tt to turn the work over to bim, be would be willing to do it in connection with the other work of the bureau. Saturday an appropriation of $250 was made for the probation officer for the remainder of the year and at the time this appropriation was made several members of the county council questioned the, appropriation and asked for a further statement on the part of the commissioners as to what results had been received from the expenditure for pro bation work.

Talks With Lovers. Kitty Carothers Gives Advice to Young Persons and Answers Inquiries About Affairs of Heart.

If you are married don't be silly. That you have a husband and hav promised' to live with him for better or worse makes it all the more neces- . sary that you 6hould exercise a little . judgment and common sense. If your husband leaves the house someday and forgets to kiss you before . going, do not spend the rest of thq , day weeping and trying to convince yourself that he does not love you any more. He probably bad a business deal of some kind on bis mind by which he hoped to make more money to provide more comforts for you. When he arrived at the office he probably remembered he had not kissed you good bye and regretted it just as much as you did. Asking this question: "Do you think George loves me?" a woman narrated 'a long and uninteresting story of her daily life. She is "simply wild'' about George's eyes but George does not like her to wear a red sweater coat. Furthermore he forgot to kiss her goodbye yesterday morning before going to the office. How can this woman expect you or me to be interested in George's eyes or care whether he likes her red sweater coat or not, when thousands of persons are dying on European battlefields, and war is even threatening our own sons and husbands and when many mothers are working their fingers to the bone trying to feed, clothe and educate their helpless, fatherless children. This woman should try to be a loving wife, a good, citizen and devoted mother. If she accomplishes her duty in these estates she will have little time or inclination to worry about trivial matters. Go RIGHT AHEAD. Dear Miss Carothers: I noticed an answer to a letter some time ago in which yu talked as if you did not think flirting was right. It is my nature to flirt. Do you see any harm in it? GOOD TIME. Since you have your mind made up to flirt nothing I could say would stop oti. There's really no reason why you should not have a good time that

way. or course you mignt teaa some one to care and when he found out you didn't that might hurt him. I have no doubt that the Indians thought they were having a good time when collecting 6calps, but probably their victims did not see it that way.

CINCINNATI, O.. Aug. 24, 1916 J. G. Mullins, locomotive fireman of the Queen and Crescent route, who resides at 76 Montclair avenue, Ludlow, made

the following statement today, in con nection with the introduction of Tan-

lac, the new medicine that is now accomplishing such remarkable results in Richmond and vicinity. Mr. Mul-'

lins said in part:

"It seemed like everybody I met or

knew, was talking about this Tanlac, and I decided to get some of the medicine, too. "I had suffered terribly from constipation and stomach and kidney trouble. ' My liver was always sluggish and I hy dull throbbing headaches. In the mornings, when I got up I felt languid, sluggish and with no life in me. "I have often heard other men say. 'my stomach is all shot to pieces," and that about described my own condition. It was so weak at times that I felt like I had swallowed some lead, and a big lump of it had lodged in the pit of my 'stomach. "I suffered from a severe pain in the region of. toy kidneys and "they were out of order most of the time. "However, I must say -that I began to improve immediately after taking the medicine, and I am now like an entirely different man, without an ache or pain. I eat . heartily, sleep good and by work does not wear me out like it used to do. I think that Tanlac is a wonderful medicine." Tanlac the "Master Medicine," that is proving so successful in instances of stomach, liver, kidney, intestinal and catarrhal affections, is now sold In Richmond exclusively through the Thistlethwaite drug store, corner of Sixth and Main streets, where the Tanlac Man is meeting the public daily and, expainijg the remay,Adv.
