Angered by alleged carelessness In the conduct of the adult probation office, Joseph Marrow, recently placed in charge of the office, an nounced Tuesday morning that he would "either make the office amount to something or lock up Its doors and look for another job." Failure of a large number of paroled men to report to the office each month Is the principal cause of Probation Officer Marrow's dis gust. Of the 251 young men paroled to this office, fully 40 have been fail ing to make any report of their whereabouts or activities, according to Marrow. Because of Youth. "It. simply means that these young men don't appreciate the kindness of societ# to them," said Marrow. "I'm going to start cleaning up the of fice. Every man who falls to report is guilty of violating his parole, and I shall tile charges against him. “Many of these young men were found guilty of serious charges, and were only paroled because of their youth and because it was their first offense. Some were charged with forgery, others automobile thefts and Still others burglary and highway robbery," continued the adult pi oba tion officer. "It Is not fair to society to leave them at large without some check on them. When they are paroled they are saved from penitentiary sentences, but they don't seem to appreciate this. When tiiey leave tne jurisdic tion of the court, or fall to report or to work steadily at some job, they have violated their paroles and are no longer entitled to liberty." Roundup Started. Marrow- has already started his "roundup" of parole vitators and. ns a result, Lloyd Churchill. IS, and Tony Raeikowiski, 19. are In county jail pending a hearing on charges that they have violated their parole. Tlie probation officer found them in a South Omaha pool hall. They were paroled after being found guilty of attempting to steal an automobile. To show- the lengths to which some of these youthful probationers would go when pressed, Marrow recalled how. when he had brought them to the courthouse, they sprang from the car and raced away, although they were handcuffed together. They were recaptured only after a long chase. Make False Reports. “I'm going out and get about 49 more, too," said Marrow. "If this of fice can't be made of benefit to the community I don't want to have any thing to do with it." Marrow said he had discovered that many paroled men are making false reports in an effort to fool the proba tion office. These men also will be charged with violating their paroles, he saId. Ma rrow took office a a adult proaba tlon officer February 9. Embezzler Freed on Parole. Columbus, March II.—John Henry Prait, 20, who confessed that he had taken more than *700 of his employ ers' money in a tain effort to recoup losses at poker, was paroled by Dis trict Judge l.lghtner to his attorney. Oeorge S. Reeder. Pratt embezzled the money while he was in charge of Batkalow Brothers' newsstand in the I'nlon Pacific depot here. Barkalows agreed not to demand prosecution if Pratt would restore half of what he took, and the court's order requires him *o do so at the rate of *10 a month. fl/ou Just know sne’s JVOT WelL There it no rr««on for you to look or feel this %voy CONSTIPATION means’MISERY Rouge and powder will not cover up the effect* of consti pation.

There were great black places where I he fire had burned The Old Pasture was ruined. AJ least, that is what most of the little people said. It did rather look that way. They had a lot to say about it. There was a meeting over In I he Green Forest. Sammy Jay was there. _ -a i "Juat the thin*:" cried ell the ither little people. "No one else ren lo anything, but Buster Bear can. Hut Busier was shaking his heed "No, no," said he. "We must think if some other plan." "Are you afraid?" asked Sammy ray In his sauciest manner. Buster Bear pretended not to hear hint. "The fact Is said he “l la vent ttie time. 1 would be very rlad to chase hint away if I hap lencrt to he there when he came, dut I really haven't the time to all irnund and wait for him to come. 1 lave other things to attend to." “Fraldy! Fraldy! Buster Bear's a !raldy!” cried Sammy Jay. Buster glared tip at Sammy, but if course, he couldn't catch Rummy, rhen he saw the other little people ,vere turning their heads so as to tide their grins, and he knew that hey knew that he was afraid. This nade him very angry. "After all," mid he, "it is too late to do anything low. The mischief has been done. If mu'll excuse me I think I'll he mov nr along." Off shuffled Bueter Bear, A'hile Sammy Jay continued to ihrlek gleefully, “Fraidy! Fraldy!" Then all the tongues began to wag it once. Every one had something to ■ay.

Some of them said that they !iad always known that sooner or ater he would do something dread 'ul, and that they never had trusted llm. But others were simply disap lointed In him and were not yet ready 0 believe that he wasn’t the friend hey hsd believed him to bo for so tong. But they all agreed that it was 1 dreadful thing that had happened to the Old Pasture, and that they ought to do something about It.

Frequently tneh prefer to go to jail to paying out money to sup port their wives. "If they could be earning even $1 a day the money could be used towards supporting their wives and children. We can't keep men in jail indefinitely on nonsupport' charges. It doesn’t do any good. So when they promise to work and contribute support money we let them out. "And usually they don’t do it.
