Lindsey, head of the juvenile court of Denver, when he talked tp the mem- bers of the Casper Kiwanis club and their guests the Ro- tarians, Lions and members of the Chamber of Commerce at the Henning hotel today. trate had previously aCdressed the students of. the Natrona County high school at 10 o’clock this morn- ing. The meeting this noon was held In the diningroom of the Hen- ning since the regular banquet room was not large enough to accommo- date the crowd that had gathered to hear the speaker. “The Rotarian, the Kiwanians, and the Lions,” are very helpful in our work for young America,” said Judge Lindsey. “This interest and co-operation c! rs the heart of one whe 25 years ago started this ju- venile cour} movement. It fs not eo mueh @ court as a human institu- tion and the child who gets into court is not so different from any average chilO except ‘that he has lacked the advantages of environ- ment. There is. difference between you and him only, ‘because you are a little more fortunate. “My success in . juvenile: court work came hecause I had not for. gotten my-own childhood and was able to see the case from the boy's standpoint. The problem of the father who has trauble with his children is ‘because he doesn't sée the child’s standpoint. It is just a question of getting closer to the child and commanding him by kind- ness, There is a break between the father and son and between the mother and Caughter because the father doesn’t know his own son and the mother doesn’t know her own daughter. There was a time when the child considered the police- man his enemy and the policeman looked upon the child as hopelessly bad. There is now a better under- standing. “We must knoW how to do our part in directing young America, the most virile, the most hopeful and the most hazardous of all genera- tions. “We must turn the searchlight upon ourselves instead of criticiz- ing and nagging about the way young. America is gonig today. “There is a three-fold reqpons!- bility the home, the community, and the neighborhood. The home is first of all, In the bosom of the American homé is the little child and what- ever weakens and undermines the homé weakens and undermines the child and the hopes which the re public has wrapped up in him. Then there-is the neighborhood respon sibility, whether this is taken care of by) the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts or some other organization. Finally comes the community re- sponsibility. Colorado years ago en- acted a law treating tho child not as @ Criminal but as a person mis- directed, misguided, and in need of education. The law has been cop- ied by, 39 states.

When you read today of the find. ing in Green River of the pry of Mrs. Helen Spear, presumab4 mur- dere¢; by her husband, you barely heed the details of the discovery Why? Because what hits you is the fact that Helen Spear was white and John Spear was black. Revel- ation of such q union and its repug, nant features culminating in crime, mind)-reyolving around thevetds old question of racial inter- mixture. Three respected families in Hast- ings, Neb., are ashamed to be seen on the streets there today because they have three boys in Natrona county jail, charged wtih the theft ofa car. The trio’s oily stacombed appearance may be attributed to the celluloid influence of Valentino, but their disregard for the law goes back home for an answer. Time for their parents to be ashamed was some months ago, and not now that iron bars cast burning shadows against miserable pride. Cases coming before Judge Ben B, Lindsey in his famous Denver court, receive triangular consideration. From three angles, as he explained to Casper Kiwanians this noon, he considers those who are gullty of wrongdoing. Untangling the mind and {ts mo- tives, going back into heredity and scouting out environment are what he does. Usually a judge hears a case, determines whether a person is guilty and passes judgment. No thought of unseen influences in wrong doer’s life is what keeps streams of humanity flowing in and out of prisons.

AVIATORS UVENILE COURT Globe Flyers Make Up Time In Flight Out of Far North to Main Island of Japan Enroute to Tokio KASUMIGAURA, Japan, May 22.—(By The Asso- ciated Press).—This was a notable day in the record of the American army aviators who are circling the globe by air. Within fifteen hours they drove down out of the bleak, windy north Pacific region, where storms and fogs have hampered their progress fcr days, into a temperate clime where they probably can make up some of the lost time; they made the first ldnding airmen ever made in Japan and they did two days’ tasks in one, ‘Taking off from the icy waters of Hitokappu bay, off Yetorofu island, in the Kuriles, at 3 o'clock this morning, the aviators swooped down over Kushiro, on the {sland of Hok- kaido, four hours and fifty minutes later, circled once over the American destroyer John D. Ford which was on duty there in case the fliers found it necessary to come down for more fuel, or to give aid if they needed it, and went on without landing to Minato, at the northern end of tha island of Hondo, on which Tokio’ is located. They landed at Minato, 354 miles, from Hitokappu bay at 10:40 a. m. At 12:30 p. m., they took the air again for the 350-mile hop to Kasu- migaura, where they arrived at 5:40 p. ™m. Originally it had been planned that the jump from Yotorofu island to the main island of Japan and the further hop to Kasumigaura should oceupy successive dnys, but yesterday Lieu- tenant Lowell H. Smith, commanding the flight, advised American naval officers on the Ford that the aviators would try to do both today. ~ On the way here the Americans ‘wave the population of Kushiro, al- ready thrilled by the visit of the Ford, the first foreign warcraft ever to enter that fishing town’s’ harbor, their first sight ofan American. atr- plane and, to most of them, the first view of any aircraft whatever. Crowds numbering thousands lined the hills above the town and gather- ed in open spaces to watch the planes pass over and, the watchers hoped, to land, for yesterday officials of the town were told the Americans might payse there for fuel. There was dis- appointment when the aircraft, after circling over the destroyer, went on to Minato, The mayor had declared the landing of the planes would be regarded as the greatest honor ever accorded the town. Crowds also were gathered at Minato, and the beach was gay with thousands of school children, who waved flags and shouted. The Amert- cans were sighted thirty seconds be- fore they landed, flying down the bay in perfect formation. They fell ihto line, circled once above the buoys placed for thelr moorings, and settled onto the water as gracefully as birds.
