Latimer, direc- tor of children's work of the library, announced toda During the week children whose cards are held at the library because of fines for book: kept overtime may obtain them with- out payment of such fines and may use them at once. This privilege will obtain in the children’s room at the | main_library and the Takoma Park Southeastern branches. he purpose of charging fines, Miss Latimer explains, is to keep readers from forgetting to return their books promptly, thus depriving other read- | ers of the opportunity of securing the books. It has been found that without such a penalty borrowers be- come careless and books are often lost. The children’s department offers to assist parents and other adults in se- lecting books for Christmas,gifts for children, v Lists are ready for distribution. Adults are invited to ask for advice ‘in regard to books appropriate. for | children of various ages and tastes and to spend time in the departmept !ooking over the books. The library's {Juvenile collection consists of books {ranging from nursery rhymes and pic- i ture books for very little children to |new editions of adult books so inter- {esting in form that they appeal to | children. Fairy tales, poetry, tales of adventure and Stories of great men in | expensive and inexpensive forms are |all_included in the collection. | Special attention is called to the library’s exhibit of fine editions of children's books, many of which are beautifully illustrated by such well known artists as Dulac, Boutet de Monvel, Leslie Brooke, Randolph Cal- decott 'and N. C. Wyeth. This is the best time, Miss Latimer said, for examination and purchase of books, for later, when the stores be- come ‘crowded, such shopping is dif- | ficult, Des Moines Papers Consolidate.

Legends that the Indians of the wilds of northern British Columbia and southern Yukon commonly tor- tured and slew fellow tribesmen for being friends and companions of in- | that h.\" after a mounted | jurious spirits have long been common | among prospectors. | Iive months ago Frank Bass, factor | for the Hudson's Bay Company at| Fort Liard, Yukon territory, reported to Canadian authorities that Big| Aleck, a Cree Indian living on the Mackenzie River, had told .him that Nomad Indians from the Nelson River, in British Columbia, had murdered a boy accused of witchcraft. The crime was placed at 40 miles south of Fort Liard, Supt. Knight of the royal police, stationed at Vancouver, sent a patrol to investigate. The Liard district was reached after traveling hundreds of miles on foot with pack dogs and navigating the swift lower Liard River by canoe. Big Aleck, when found, repudiated the story. The party of three policemen, commanded by Inspector T. V. Sandvs-Wunsch, camped near the suspected Indians. Patiently studying the territory, the investigators came on a hole in which they found the body of a boy with his hands tied behind him. After that confessions from the Indians came easily. These were to the effect that Edy, a squaw, had suspended Mocassin head downward from a- sapling to drive away evil spirits, after Big Aleck had greamed that the lad was a sorcerer. A girl, Lucy, found Mocassin hanging there and begged that he be cut down. Lucy said that the lad was alive when put into the hole, but other Indians asserted that he was killed first by hitting him on the head with a rock. The police arrested Edy, her three brothers, Dan, Jimmy and Clem, and Big Aleck and took them to Fort Liard. At a hearing there the in- spector, a magistrate, decided that the prisoners should go to Vancouver for trial. The three policemen brought the prisoners out to Wrangell, traveling 1,000 miles on foot and by canoe. No police had been in the Liard dis- trict since 1892. Schurman Going Back to China. Jacob G.

As ganiza be tion ins its ninth vear of or- e Juvenile Protective As- | | sociation of the District of Columbia | finds itself swamped with request. jud, of District courts, pro: attorneys in criminal courts, clergymen, parent-teacher associations, men's and 's civic clubs and many other | bodics and individuals to come to the resc boys and girls approaching or in the throes of delinquency, who can be saved and made upright, honest citizens. With its limited staff and funds, the Juves Protective Association cannot ndle all the cases, and it is, there- necessary to widen its activities; recruit more far-sighted men and wom- en who will be willing to take in tow a youngster, show him or her the bright and good side of life and ward off the evil influence. i In other words, there are many boys | and girls inWashington who are suffer- ing for the want of a big pal, whom they can look up to and try to emulate; a pal who will pay them periodic visits, take them walks, rides and visits to points of interest instead of allowing children to continue with asso- turn them trom | s ting | in into undesirable citizens. Work Highly Indorsed. The work of this association has re- ceived the highest indorsement from the leading men and women of the city. It is a humanitarian effort and the re- ward is in seeing an industrious hoy or girl_approaching manhood or woman- hood with high_ideals, interest in the big .problems of life, in contrast to living in a dirty hovel surrounded by vice and with no future at all. After you read the following three | cases that need immediate attention and find you have some spare time each day with which you do not know what to do, call up the Juvenile Pro- tective Association at 203 I street, telephone Mafn 2314, and offer your services, promise to rear this or that child according to the way you were reared, and attempt to give it some of the advantages you had. It will not cost you much and the dividends will be in happiness of the nature that comes alone from lending a hand to a grateful person, the association points out. These cases, only a few of the many the association cannot neglect, are: 5 1. On the top floor of a rooming house, two back rooms are occupied by John and his mother. She is employed all day from 8:30 to 4. Her husband, a complete invalid, is being kept in a nearby hospital with no chance of re- covery. John is 17 and Billy, 4 years old, is in a home. John, who should be his mother's great support, has gotten in with the wrong crowd of boys, drinks and has taken to using morphine. He will be gone sometimes for three days at a time, reappearing in a dirty condition, dazed and seem- ingly no sense of where he has spent his time. For perhaps two weeks he will_be working, bringing home as much as $25—then disappears again. He needs help and interest. IL | * Grafton, a colored boy of,10 years, fourth grade, public school, is really a live wire. His father deserted him- self and his mother in the Union Sta- tion. Grafton assumed all of the re- sponsibility, which has not been easy alone in an unknown city, with no 6ne back home to help.

This grandmother and step-grandfather are her only relatives, and she con- tinually runs away. She wants a home; some one to iook after her. She wants your interest. Changes of the nature wrought in the cases of the following boy and girl can be effected in the foregoing: James was 11 years old. His father s tubercular, his mother discour- aged, his brother in jail. He was suffering from neglect, defective vi- poor physique and bad roundings. He was smoking, lying, playing truant, cursing and learning all manner of immorality from his bad associates. Expert medical ad- vice was obtained and proper glasses made it possible for him to do better school work. The family moved into a better neighborhood and the father was given the treatment he needed. The active interest of James' Church s secured. He was provided with the proper recreation, which included the formation of a,Boy Scout Troop in the neighborhood in which he lived and a big brother to give him sym- pathetic companionship. He is now in fine physical gondition, making an excellent record in school and attend- ing Sunday school regularly. He is industrious, tristworthy, has become a leader among his associates and is facing in the right direction towards good citizenship and a useful life. Girl Was Chronic Truant. Helen was.15 years old. tired of school Bessie, colored, Washington's alleys 1 She was and had become a chronic truant. Her parents, them- selves educated and ambitious for their children, decided to let her stop school and go to work without fur- ther training. An older girl encour- aged her to defy her parents and stay out until all hours of the night with older men of questionable reputation. Arrangements were made for Helen to enter an excellent boarding school. During-the years she was there close touch was maintained with her par- ents and advice frequently asked and iven. A Big Sister helped out at va- ation togkeep Helen from drifting back to her old associates. She has now graduated and is attending col- rofessional career. The courts do not always want, to send off to jail a young boy or girl charged with violation of the law, be- cause they know in most cases they are laying the foundation for a ca- reer that will not be of use to so- ciety. Therefore they call on the Juvenile Protective Assoclation to show the delinquent the right path and prevent a criminal record being listed opposite their names. These boys and girls need your services. If you camnot give them, but can con- tribute a small sym to the budget of the association, which is expended for maintenance of a clerical force, stationery, stamps, telephone calls, etc., but does not include contribu- tions or donations to those in need, the association will be grateful. —_— Pershing on Way Home.

The extra constitutional junta now in control of the Chilean government |has completed plans for a general election May 10 next, President and Congress will be se- lected by ot vote of the people according to advices made public yes- terday by the Chilean embassy and the State Department. The project, it was explained. con- arly restoration of the constitutional regime in Chile. A telegram from Carlos Aldonate, for- eign minister in the junta cabinet, stated that the government manifesto, dated November 5, and setting out the laws which are to control registration of voters, the election and the procla- matign of the new President by the Congress thus to be clected, “has been received with approval by the press:” The present Chilean junta overthrew the administration of President Al sandri last September. It is wholly outside the constitution, and govern- ment has since been proceeding by decree. at which a U. S. Officials Silent. While State Department officials have been unwilling to comment on the situation in Chile, the fact that informal diplomatic relations have been maintained with the de facto au- thorities lends color to the presump- tion that they are hopeful that the junta in power will find some way of restoring a constitutional regime which it will be possible, under ad- ministration policy, to recognize in the regular diplomatic way. There is no desire to embarrass the de facto government in its effort to find a solution for its problems, the fact that the revolution which over- threw the Alessandri administration was a bloodiess one evidently having been taken into consideration here. The provisions taken by the junta to re-establish constitutional govern- ment provide for a compulsory reg tration of all voters and a general assembly on July 25 of all the seni- tors and deputies elected on May 10 for the purpose of ratifying or re- jecting any constitutional amend- ments proposed by the present junta. The assembly would take up its duties as the constitutional Congress country in accordance with the old constitution and such reforms as may be approved. Assembly Session Set. The General Assembly would meet again on August 25 and would pro- claim President the candidate who re- celved an absolute majority in the elections, or would elect a President in case of no such majority by any candidate. A special court “to avoid abuses” in the elections would be constituted, composed of the presidents of the supreme court and of the courts of appeals and of retired members of such bodies. The function of this court would be to approve the elec- tion of at least half the senators and deputies, without which approval the Congress would not be considered legally | constituted. “The constitutional regime,” the dispatch to the Chilean embassy said, “will be fully re-established the 18th of September, and the government junta will turn over its office to the President-elect.” Fire Damages Auto.

Clashes between counsel during the hearing revealed, that the children of Gould, managing executor and trustee under his fa ther's will, are in need of money pending the outcome of the account- ing suit, which has been under way off and on, for a vear and a half.
