Delinquent Boy
Problem Is Also
“Dad” Problem
Continental Club Told Home
Influences Back of Most
Youths Who Go
Wrong.
, "If you play golf on Sunday morn
ing you hav* no right to expect that
your boy will go to Sunday school.”
W. J. Kirkbrlde of Lincoln told mem
bers of the Continental Nub at Fri
day luncheon at Hotel Fontenelle.
"We muat have a conetructlve pro
JfWun for our boys," he added, "and
tljds program muat connect up with
home, school and church. T>ad's
lifoy' is entitled to some of his father's
thus no matter how tnuch business
he has.
“We need boys that ars fit for our
girls to associate with. I do not agree
with those who contend that the boys
today are worse than years ago. We
mpet remember there are more boys
today in this country and there are
mope temptations and more’laws.
T'lt Is not so much of a boy prob
lem today as It Is a dad problem. The
neglected boy causes most of the
trouble. A Lincoln judge told me
that back of nearly every delinquent
boy there wan domestic complex.
Many delinquent boys are from homes
of plenty.
"I had a. boy paroled to ms and
I '(vent to Kansas to Investigate his
horns conditions. I found that his
father had one of the finest farms
in, , the Republican river country.
Aftfir the mother’s death the fsther
raised the hoy on chess and ancient
history. At 15 the boy was an ex
pert these plsyer. versed In ancient
history, an agnostic and a gambler
of unusual ability. He could shake
a mean pair of dice and at high
school he won ell of the money of
the other bo.vs. We got this boy
straightened out after a period of
years."

“Watukushiwa” Is “I” in Japanese,
Explains Nebraska Girl Missionary
Gothenburg Lass Si* Years
in Japan, Visits Here on
Way Bark.
“Anata old* ni narimasu.”
It takes those 10 syllables in
Japanese to say “you go."
That is. If you are ordinarily polite.
If you are not quit* so polite, you ran
say it in seven syllables, thus “Anata
ikimasu." And a cooley-'will express
the same thus: “Kimi iku.”
Thus did Ruby I,. Anderson, Gnth
enherg (Neb.I girl missionary to Japan,
elucidate some of the idiosyncrasies
of the language. She is a guest at the
horn* of Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Rhoades,
140 Xorth Forty-second street, and
will sail from San Francisco, April
4, to return to the Baptist school in
Yokohama, where she teaches. She
has been attending school in Boston
after six years in Japan.
“Besides, the language of conversa
tion is different from that which is
written,” she continued. ‘‘And the
conversation of men contains many
words never used by women. A man
will say 'boku' for 'F and 'kimi' for
‘you.’ A woman never uses those
words.
"The ordinary first person pronoun
in Japanese is 'watukushiwa'.''
Which further shows that Japanese
is not a very "snappy” language.
The young missionary declare* the
United Stales treated Japan shame
fully in passing the exclusion act.
"All Japan asked was citizenship
for 142 persons a year.”
Miss Anderson will give a program
of readings in the First Baptist
church tonight and will speak there
Sunday morning.

Love Bark of
Crofoot Girl
on Cash Sna"
O
British Mate Earned $600
Monthly, She Says, But She
Had to Borrow From
Family.
The failure of an International mar
riage was described in divorce court
Friday morning by Virginia Crofoot
White, daughter of a prominent Oma
ha, family, who is seeking a divorce
from Harold E. White of London.
Mrs, White was timid as she began
her testimony, hut she responded con
cisely and in clear, unfaltering tones
to questions by her attorney.
She married White, a dashing
young Englishmsn, in October, 1920,
in New York. Their honeymoon took
them first to Englsnd and then to
India, where they lived in a Calcutta
apartment for a year.
*600 a Month.
Although Mr. White received 1,500
rupees or about *600 a month salary
from a British electric company, he
asked her for money to furnish their
apartment, she .testified,
"I loaned him *5,000, of which 1
borrowed *1,000 from my mother and
*2,000 from my grandmother," ahe
related. •
In the meantime Mrs. White broke
her collarbone In an accident and was
confined at a hospital for several
weeks. A few months later she was
forced to return to a rospital, and
while there he sold this furniture, she
said.
Insisted on Return.
"He didn't reimburse me for It,"
she said, "and finally he insisted that
I return to Omaha. He cabled my
father to meet me in San Francisco
and borrowed *2,600 from father to
pay our expenses to this country. We
landed In Wan Francisco In January,
1922. He has paid only *1.000 t>ark
of the money he borrowed from my
father."
During the period which young Mrs.
White remained In Omaha after arriv
ing In thle country he failed to con
tribute to her support, and. having
regained her health, she started to
rejoin him, sailing in Oetoher, 1922.
It required the boat on which she
sailed a month to reach Aden, and
while on board ahe became very 111
again, ahe testified.
"I was so ill that I stopped off in
Aden and cabled my husband to come
to me there," she testified. "He didn't
come until finally an official of his
company cabled to him, and he ar
rived In Aden three weeks after I had
first cahled him.
Writs* Him Twice.
"Then he insisted that he take me
to France and he cabled my fdther
to meet me there. My aunt, Frances
Nash Watson, snd her husband,
Colonel Watson, were In France, how
ever, and they met us at Marsailles.
Since then I hate written my hus
band twice, hut I have not heard
from him since we parted in Paris."
Mrs. Whita said her husband has
contributed nothing to her eupport
since the first time she returned from
India to this country.
Her aunt, Frances Nash Watson,
the noted planlat, took the witness
stand to corroborate her niece's testi
mony.
Complains of Cash.
“T saw Mr. White twice," she said,
"once in New York before thev sailed
on their honeymoon and again in
Msrsaillea when he brought her
there.
"He told me he was through with
her the second time. He said, 'I wash
my hands of her.' My husband
persuaded White to pay her expenses
back to this country from France,
however."
L, F. Crofoot also tool* the stand
In hehalf of his daughter, testifying
that his daughter's English husband
had cabled him many times, complain
ing of s lark of money.
M. A. Hall. British consul, appeared
In behalf of White, but took no part
In the csss.

Canada Supports
British Attitude
Cables League of Nation* Re
jeetion of Protoeol for
Security.
By HAROLD J. T. HORAN.
InternAtliinnl News Srrrlr* Staff
Correspondent.
Genova, March 13.—Canada today
supported the aland of Great Britain
on tha Geneva peace plan when It
cabled the league of nations a rejec
tion of the proposed security protocol.
The rahlegram was signed by Mac
kenzie King, premier of Canada. It
said that the dominion preferred the
submission of all issues to a joint in
quiry board of arbitration rather than
the protocol submitted by the league.
The text of the Canadian cable
gram follows:
"While Canada continues whole
heartedly to support the league, it is
doubtful if it is in the interest of
Canada, or of the British empire or
of the league itself, to recommend to
parliament adherence to the protocol
under the rigid provisions of eco
nomic and military sanctions.
"Canada prefers the submission of
all Issues to a joint inquiry arbitra
tion board and is also willing to con
sider acceptance of compulsory arbi
tration of the permanent arbitration
of the permanent Hague tribunal un
der certain reservations.
"Canada would accept participation
In an armament reduction conference
provided lhe conference did not in
\olve any prior acceptance of the pro
tocol."
