18 THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY. JULY 17. 1920. KID LABORATORY IS ADDITION TO JUVENILE COURT .Manner In Which Boys and Girls Pass Mental and Phy sical Tests Depends . Cases' Disposal. Denver, Colo., July 16. A juvenile laboratory is a new ad dition to the machinery of the courts of Denver through which wayward boys and girls pass before Judge Ben B. Lindsey. Upon the manner in which the boy or girl passes the mental and physical lests depends the ultimate disposal of his or her case. Judge Lindsey asserts (hat a way ward girl has three ages. He ex plains it in this manner: A girl may be 1.1 years old, have the physical development of a girl of 18 and the mental development of a child of I 10 years. j All this, 1 have tound, has ? great deal to do with the way of handling cases of delinquent girls," the judge declared. "For example take the case of a 16-year-old girl who has run away and married a mature man. What to do with her depends largely on her three ages Chronologically the girl may not b? eld enough to get married, bu she has been married and the question to determine whether it is best to send her to a reformatory merely because she eloped, or permit her to rcimiu with her husband. "If she is biologically three o." our years older than 16 (that is possesses the physical development of a young woman of 19), and if hr mental development is that of s normal girl of 16 or older and if she loves the man she married, whv il seems that for her sake she should not be punished for marrying." ,-. An appropriation has been grant ed for the carrying out of the pro posed laboratory and the judge is seeking to obtain the services of an expert psychologist to take charge of the work.

I shall not soon forget niv motor ride to New York upon the night of our departure tor the South. Snuggled deep in the luxurious fur robes of Maj. Grantland's car, wrapped in the soft warmth of the wonderful cloak he had brought for the journey I was brne so swiftly along the outlying roads and the streets of the citv that my excited fancy reverted to the magic rug of my Arabian Nights childish leading. I could compare my trans portation to nothing else. Whether because of the presence of Hastings in the seat behind us, or because of his absorption in his driving, Maj. Grantland spoke but two or three times during the journey, in quiring briefly but solicitously as to my warmth and comfort. I made my reassurances as brief, content to revel in the luxurious appoint ments with which I was invested. Why Hastings Smiled. For I had resolutely put away from me all disagreeable thoughts. Dicky's certain anger and the immi i ent . enforced association w ith Brown which was to be mine, were relegated to the remotest part of my brain. It was as if the discov ery that my husband would shield Edith Fairfax from inconvenience at my expense, had released some h'd dtn spring iri my bain mechanism which made me utterly indifferent to his opinion and "reckless of anything stable or conservative. I meant to 7)do exactly as I pleased, I promised myself grimly as the street lights fled by us. And when, after a swift swoop through tl t sordid business district, which is the approach to the big railroad sta tion, we finally drew up to the en trance. I was fully pr.uoplied to deal with Dicky in any inood. That he was furiously angry be cause I had made the journey in Maj. Grantland's car instead of a taxicab I knew from mv brief tele phonic conversation with him a lit tle more than an hour before. But just what form his anger would take I did not know, nor to tell a truth which surprised even myself 1 found that I did not care. As the voiing officer br6ught t e car skilfully up o the entrance there was the usual rush of colored por ters to the side of the machine. But Mai. Gratlnnd alighted from the car and brushed them away as thou h they were so many scuttling ants. Then he helped me to slight with :he concerned air of one assisting a hornless invalid. Hustings busied himself eetting out his master's lucgage and mine, Lr.d I though! I caught a glimmer of speculative amusement in his eyes, ard suddenly hated him for it, and lvvsclf for the embarrassed fliivli which could not keep from my (hecks, t was glad when - Maj. Grantland. with a few brief words of instruction to the man. dismisse 1 store" Clubs him and gave the luggage to one of the clamoring porters. "Why Isn't He Here?" "I suppose we shall find sonic of the party waiting for us in the waiting room," he said, as he picked up my traveling bag and started down the stairs. I supposed nothing of ,the kind, tor I knew that all the rest of the party would naturally leave my re ception to mv husband, and what his action would be no one. prob- ably not even himself, could fore cast for more than a moment or two at a time. But I acquiesced perfunctorily. "No doubt," I said quietly. But when we had reached the big room not a single fami'iar face did we sec. Maj. Grantland looked at his watch. "We have three-quarters of an hour," he said, "before the train goes If you will give mc your tickets I will see to their viseing, and then I think you would better have something to eat before you go on board. jThe dining car may be delayed tomorrow morning." A swift vision of Dicky's anger at my lunching with Maj. Grantland crossed my mind. I blotted it out with the comfortable adage con cerning the hanging of the sheep :ml the lamb, and handed over my tickets with a demure acquiescence. "I should enjoy a cup of coffee verv much," I said. "Where is your drawing-room check?" Maj. Grantland asked. "I understood your father provided you with one." "I gave it to mv husband when the accident to Katie happened, telling him to give it to Miss Brown it I didn't catch the train," I an swered. Mai. jGrantland's strong jaws bit off short the quick word of in vective which rose to his lips. But his angered annoyance spdfce in his tone. "Why isn't he here, then? I am afraid they won't let you on the train unless you have your sleeping accommodations with you. But don't worry. Wait here and I'll see about il." Continued Monday. Parents Problems V.

He,yas talking with a freckle-faced boy, and Colben's head was itill in the thistles., "The top of the morning to you, Dennis Maguire," F.neen called to the freckled boy when she saw him. "And docs it take '.he two of you to watch one donlav at his breakfast? Come along and let's play in the bog!" "But how ever shall we leave Col len? She might run away on us," aid Larry. "She's tethered by hunger fast enough," said Eileen. "Ropes would not drag her away. But you could threw her halter over a stone, to be sure." L&rry slipped the halter over a stone, they set the milk jug in a sate place, and the three children ran oil' into the bog. The bog land was brown and dark. Tufts cf coarse grass grew here and there, and patches or yellow gorse. There were many puddles, and some times there were deep holes, where the turf had been cut out. Mr. McQueen was a thrifty man, and got his supply of turf early in the season. He would cut it out in long black blocks, like thick mud, and leave it in the sun to dry. When it . was quite dry he would carry it home on Colleen's back, pile it in a high turf-stack near the kitchen door, and it would burn in the fire place alt winter. The children were barefooted, so they played in the puddles as much as ever they liked. By and by Eileen said, "Let's play we are Dcirdre and the sons of Us nach." "And who were they, indeed?" said Dennis. "It was Grannie told us about them," said Eileen, "and sure it's the sorrowfullest story in Ireland." "Then let's not be playing it," said Dennis. For Boys I' Circus tlouinincTs By SHEA HOGUE. "Pussy T fussy! Pretty Pussy! Curl up and purr an' I'll give ye a saucer- o' milk!" And the clown held out a saucer which ' would have been a trifle small in size for an average doll's house. ' . i The big bid lion rolled over obe dientlj curled up and let out a bloodcurdling roar. Whereupon with mock seriousness, the clown set the diminutive saucer in front of the shaggy beast. "Try that with Caligula, son," said one of the performers, as the clown trotted off out of the arena on the lion's back, hind-side before, and beating time to the band music with the lion's tail. "Not much," replied the clown, recognizing the real lion tamer. m too fond of coffee and a good cigar for a real lion business. Pussy, here is 'stcen years old an' hasn't any teeth. No, sir, I don't want your job I" The clown was right. Of all the circus performers, the man or wdm an who does the wild animal work has to be the most careful. No stim ulant, no late hours, no little trouble of health like a headache or a tooth ache is permissible to a lion tamer. Every ounce of his being has to be in perfect shape, every nerve sound and steady. There are tricks , in a good deal of circus work, but not much in big wild . animal taming. That takes nerve, and grit, and per severance and willpower. It takes a 100 per cent human being, all the way through. Circus folk's say that a wild animal tamer makes a good friend, every time.

Tell the rest of it," Den nis answered. "Well, then," Eileen began, "there once was a high King of Emain, and his name was Conchubar. And one time when he was hunting out in the fields he heard a small little cry, crying. And he followed the sound of it, and what should be find but a little baby girl, lying alone in the field!" "Well, listen to that now," said Dennis. "He did so," Eileen went on; "and he loved the child and took her to his castle and had her brought up fine and careful, intending for to marry her when she should be grown up. And he hid her away, with onlv an old woman to take care of her, in a beautiful house far in the mountain, for he was afraid she'd be stolen away from him. (Rights Reserved by Houghton Mifflin Co.)

May Ellsworth blossomed forth into business-like gymnasium cos tume next day and proceeded to show the camp which thought itself no small pumpkins on sports ill that it did not know about bas ket ball. Captain Wills' comment was to the point. Said he: "If she'd tackle that tornado be fore it hit the town, thcre'd have bc.Mi a dead tornado lying around somewhere!" The basket ball game over, May Ellsworth settled down to business. She won the hearts of the Independ ent campers by her enthusiasm and then proceeded to point out many thing that had been overlooked. "Where's your hospital?" she asked. "No one gets sick here," replied the director. She wheeled on him. "Anyone who made as good a job of that assembly hall as you have done here could put up a neat little hospital shack in a day. Here, I'l' give you the plans and specifica tions! You may never want it. I hope you won't. But the camp's a long way from town and sometimes folks oughtn't to be moved. Where's j sheet of paper?" And then and there she drew spec ifications for the building, which even Lars admitted were well de signed. "Now," said she, "I want a couple of snappy girls, with brains!" And, in the course of a couple of hours, she filled those girls so full of nursing knowledge and the zeal for a noble profession, that ' their comrades accused them of actually wanting some one to get hurt so that they could display their knowledge. Purely, if the camp has honored May Ellsworth, her presence had honored and bettered the camp. COMMON SENSE Be Fair With the Children. By J. J. MUNDT. As a father it is up . to you tc give every possible protection to your daughters and to give theni the best time consistent with your circumstances, -no matter how it bores you to do it. If you insist on daughter remain ing at home every evening you should be fair inough to give her the privilege of entertaining at home. Invite her friends, no matter about the noise unrestrained youthful joy is always heard. Let your daughter and her friends feci free in your home. Strive to make your Iwme the favorite gathering place for daugh ter's friends. If there be constant restraint young folks will go where more sensible persons reside. It may It a task for you to go after yout pirlie when she is out ct evening functions or little par ties, but .you would be pretty self ish if you denied her evening en tertainment of the right sort just because you did not want to be disturbed. Also you should appreciate the protection you can be to her when it is realized by outsiders that you never leave her to shift for herself, but look after her wherever she WHY? Are Cold and Silver Used as Money? (Copyright. 1950, by Th Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) In considering the matter of coinage there are at least seven factors which have to be borne in mind: Value Because money is the representation of labor, property or something else which is high ly valuable to the person who possesses it; Portability Because money must be easily transported from place to place; Divisibility Because money should be capable of being split up into coins of varying values; Uniformity Because the ma terial of which money is made should not vary greatly, as would other commodities of va rious kinds; Durability Because currency should last indefinitely, without deterioration; Distinguishability A property which would bar diamonds and other precious stones, because only experts could pass upon the value of these; Lack of Fluctuation Because money shouldAtheoretically, have equivalent value in all parts of the world. It is obvious'that only gold and silver meet these requirements, platinum being too costly for the making of coins, while copper and nickel are not in themselves valuable enough to use except for the smaller 'pieces. Gold and silver may be easily carried about; they are of considerable value; they may be divided into comparatively small units; their price is comparatively uniform; they are recognizedly valuable and extremely durable. It is because of these properties, therefore, that they form the basis of currency the world over paper money being merely a representation of the gold or sil ver coin.
