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.

HOLDING A HUSBAND
Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations of a Wife
An Unforeseen Complication.
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

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."

Irith Twins Play in the Bog.
When Eileen got back with the
jug, she found Larry still sitting he
side the road. 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.

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.

"Well, then, it might not be so

"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

"Well, listen to that now," said
Dennis.
"He did so," Eileen went on; "and
he loved the child and took her to

FRANCIS HOI.'f -WHEELER.
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.

If you insist on daughter remain

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

If there be constant restraint
young folks will go where more

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.
