AUTO 1S ENEMY OF YOUNG FOLKS Majority of Crimes Traced to Joy-| riding, Says Denver Juvenile Judge “Ninety per cent of the troubles which bring girls into the. juvenile court in this town are sex troybles.”’| This was one of the startling dec- larations made yesterday noon toe}. the Optimists’ club at the Hotel Met- ropole by Judge Ben B. Lindsey. “Strangely enough,” added, “the case is quite the oppo- site hen it comes to boys. Eighty per cent of the hoys who are brought into our court come from some other cause—lawlesaness, truancy, to property, and so forth. “But with girls the same thing is at the bottom of most of the trouble as with boys—automobiles. In the days of our youth we did not have! the same variety of temptations that beset our young people today. The advent of motion pictures and auto- mobiles as amusement features has created new problems in juvenile de- linquency. “The mothers of a generation ago/ would not have thought of letting their daughters go unchaperoned with young men. They now let them go with boys to moving picture houses and for automobile rides. Trouble very often results from such indiscretion on the part of parents. “Most gitls of high school age and who are working for a living are dis- creet and good, but I have received! some alarming figures with regard to the number of delinquents. this country as it has in Europe, our moral law is in danger’of being -cast into the discard.” The remedy for such conditions as he described, ac- cording to the judge, is education concerning the need of juvenile leg- islation.

When he was elected president he had four domiciles, this apartment in Paris, which he gave up at once, his villa at Sampigny, the old family homestead at Nubecourt and a small} house at Bar le Duc. The Sampigny villa was completely wrecked ‘by the German artillery firing from - the camp of the Romans near Saint Mi- hiel, the homestead at Nubecourt was demolished ‘by the explosion of an army motor truck lowded with gaso- line while a ‘bomb from a-German airplane fc full into the center of tho house at Bar le Duc and left hothing standing but ragged ‘walls.
