Delinquent Children and Their Parents The increase in juvenile delinquency in many cities of the United States is viewed with alarm by social workers and heads of reform societies. Many causes have been assigned for the increase in the number of youthful wrong doers, and for the most part environment and conditions outside of the home are ascribed as factors leading the youth astray. The opinion of a number of social workers that the parents themselves are largely to blame, it seems, is unpopular in many quarters, but after all that probably is the-jnost adequate and satisfying explanation. Parents either are indifferent about or ignorant of the activities of their children. Too many, parents are so engrossed with their own affairs, pleasures and diversions that they are perfectly satisfied to let their children choose their ways of life, as if the boys and girls possessed enough judgment and character to make wise selections and judicious decisions. All of which suggests that the home has lost its alluring character as a center of juvenile activity and impulse. None of us will admit that the home has broken down so far as its vital position in our social life is concerned, but all are forced to confess that somehow and somewhere in the course of our national development outside forces have succeeded in fascinating the child to such an extent that parental influences have been neutralized. This condition cannot be blamed entirely on the parents, either. Many of the features of our
civilization motor cars and varied forms of amusements for the entertainment and relaxation of adult and child which in themselves are useful and innocent, have been seized by youthful America as a means of satisfying its energy and activity; and, because the parents unwittingly anjL unknowingly have relaxed their supervision, they have helped to relegate the home into the background as an influencing factor in the development of the child's character. If this is one reason for juvenile delinquency, the remedy simply is to enhance the attractiveness of the home and arouse the dormant parental care and supervision. If parents will make a center of activity out of their homes instead of letting other things lure them away, the children will soon realize the change that has taken place and look to the home a,s the seat of helpful counsel and mutual assistance. After parents have re-established themselves
fin their own homes, the next step must be a
friendly manifestation of interest in the affairs of their children and of their companions. Fathers and mothers must seek the level of their children so that they can understand and sympathize with them. If they believe that parental influence consists only in setting up a list of Dont's and of exercising dictatorial authority over their offspring they are erring just as much as, do the parents who let their children pursue their own way to ruin. The average boy and girl who loses interest in his home usually has parents who either have many characteristics of househould dictators or do not care whether their children mature into creditable members of society. Delinquency among boys and girls will disappear in proportion to the genuine spiritual qualities which parents manifest in their homes. Education, music and art cannot supply that quality for our home life. That is something we must acquire and cultivate by contact with spiritual sources; something that will keep our boys and girls on the right road to happiness and success.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up" "PIPPA" WHO PASSED Robert Browning once wrote a wonderful dramatic poem. He called it "Pippa Passes." The story is of a little girl who wound silk in a silk-mill "the whole year round, to earn just bread and milk." It was New Year's day at Asolo in the Trevisan. And this was to be Pippa's sole holiday of the year, in which she was to imagine herself melted into the four happiest personages of the town. She springs out of her bed, goes to the window and watches "Till the whole sunrise, not to be suppressed, Rose, reddened, and its seething breast Flickered in bounds, grew gold, then overflowed the worM." Said Pippa: "Thou art my single day, God lends to leaven What were all earth else, with a feel of heaven Sole light that helps me through the year, thy sun's!" a And so the poem continues, with Pippa flitting here and there throughout the town, passing each of its various folk and seeing their happiness, envying none and "being just as great, no doubt," as they. But from her pure eyes lust and vice were veiled, while deceit and trickery seemed only echoed smiles to her. And as she passed and sang her songs, each life she touched with her presence at once became transformed! The dissolute Sebald is conscience struck as he hears the ragged little girl's voice: "God's In his Heaven All's right with the world!" Pippa passes on not knowing and straightway finds the cottage where a soon-to-be Bride is being borne, and there sings one of her sweetest songs. Then passes on to where a Mother is walking with her son and to them she sings, and again passes on till she comes to a tower in which the Monsignor is housed. And although within are curses and threats, her song beautifies the air without. She returns to her simple, iiry room. Pippa has had a happy day. The evil and darkness within the lives of others she has not learned. Her dreams were filtered things. She undresses, and lies down to sleep with these lines upon h"r lip.?: "All service ranks the same with God With God, whose puppets, best and worst, Are we: there is no last nor first."

JAMES R. NUGENT New Jersey, hitherto known as the wettest state in the union, has just delivered a knockout blow to the wettest politician in the state, James R. Nu
gent, boss of the Newark Democracy. When Nugent was nominated by Governor Edwards as porsecutor of Essex county. New Jersey drys got busy. They pointed out to members of the state senate that Nugent had not only been wet, but vehement In his wetness. They argued that if Nu-
JAM5 R.NustNT gent's appointment as prosecutor were confirmed he would not be likely to punish dry law violators. Their arguments had weight with the legislators, and confirmation of Nugent's appointment was withheld. New Nugent threatens to run for governor of the state on a wet platform, with the hope of having revenge on his enemies. Prohibition and suffrage are the pet aversions of the Newark boss. Since he fell heir to the political assets of the late .lames Smith, Jr. he has fought boih at every turn. Both have trampled right on over him. only to find him at the next milestone ready to dispute the right of way again. In his own baliwick Jim Nugent wields as great a power a3 does Charles F. Murphy in New York- There the similarity between the New York and Newark bosses begins and ends. Nugent's freedom of speech is as proverbial a3 Murphy's silence. Nugent was born in Newark 58 years ago. He was admitted to the bar in 1S93 and to the ranks of matri
mony in 1906. Mrs. Nugent was Helen MacMahon Field of New York. He is a Catholic.

Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today
Rippling Rhymes By Walt Mason
IN A HURRY Well-framed statutes little heeding, laughing all the laws to scorn, still the fathead fan goes speeding, honking blithely on his horn. Through the streets of thronging traffic, he goes like the bolt of doom; and the epitaph is graphic that we place upon his tomb. Lives of speed fiends should remind him death awaits, in many styles; but the cloud of dust behind him shows he's hitting 60 miles; "let no speed law halt or stay me," all his actions seem to rave; and the choir sings "Now I lay me," when we gather round his grave. When he reads the daily papers, with their lists of auto wrecks, he must see such bonehead capers lead at last to broken necks; through the crowds we see him slipping, throwing up the dust and rocks; and our ears are sadly dripping when we lay him in his box. He is sane in other matters, he is wise in many things, but he rips the road to tatters and the landscape into strings; all in vain our admonition, vain our protests and appeals, and the sad and stern mortician sorts his fragments fro mthe wheels. In the boneyard he is sleeping, far from all the traffic's roar, and his maiden auns are weeping for he nu who speeds no more.
TUBERCULOSIS AND CIVILIZATION Tuberculosis came with civilization. And it will stay with civilization until civilization defeats it, according tc Prof. Chalmette, of the Pasteur institute, in Paris. A striking feature of this disease is its rarity among uncivilized and nomadic peoples, like isolated African tribes. On the other hand ,he insisted that in the modern cities of Europe and the United States practically no aduLf escapes tubercular infection. He estimated that 20 per cent of city populations are infected at the age of 2 years, 55 per cent at 13 vpars ami nhnnt Q7 nor rent nf all
