" Catholic Charity Head Says « ‘eclearly NEW STYLE GYPSY HELD U. 3. MENACE Nomadic Autoists Are Acute Problem. A new gypsy race is being created mittee on families of the National Conference on Catholic Charities were told today by experts in soclal work This was seen in the increasing number of migratory, unstable fam- ilies drifting from city to city and fre- quently in need of charitable relief. c of the Na- School said that the cheay bile was con- tributing gre. gypsyhood. Considerable numbers of low standard families, she said, have roads in their cars and to place ostensibly in search of work, but with no intention of settling down and with no home except a hastily erected tent. Morals Far From Best. The morals of these families, she maid, are of the lowest type possible. They live, she pointed out, almost outside the pale of civilization, work- ing when they have to, stealing when. ever they get a chance. and con tinually violating the rights of their children. Another alarming present-day trend she said, was in the increase of the rooming house di in American citles. Maps showing the prevalence of moral delinquency in most citles, Miss McGuire sa prove that its £reatest stro 1ds these room. ing house d 10se occupants are freed fIr the restraints of home. They are attracting, she polnted out, many girls who ostensibly come to the city for jobs, but_who could get better at home. They really, she sald, are actuated by desire for adventure. In any given city, she said, there is invariably a strong con- nection between the rooming house districts and the percentage of crime. Describes Charities. Miss Mary L. iibbons of New York told of the work of the <Tath- olic Charities in that city in keeping together families. At a meeting of the committee on delinquency, Joseph M. Skeffington of Chicago said that there was an alarm- ing increase in juvenile delinquency. He laid this to the restless spirit of the times, the complexity of modern | life and the fact that respect for au- thority has broken down without being replaced by other restraining influences. He urged more interest in such or- ganizations as the Catholic Big Brothers to guide the lives of boys who are found drifting astray. Frederick L. Moran of Albany spoke on the effects of probation on adult law breakers. The purpose of the courts, he sald, w not punitive alone, but to prevent crime. Long terms of imprisonment, he pointed out, are going the way of such punish- ments as flaying g in ol, throwing into den: pents or | pouring me d d offenders’ | throats. These all pr ineffective | in preventing crime, and the courts | are coming to see that sending a man | It is not, be applied K c to know | serve better. to papers by Miss Allce Washin p leen M.

Few employ- aid, want to see their em g in misery, but sometimes set their wage scales too low because they do not clearly understand just what it costs to If Miss Marjorie E. Carroll of Buffalo spoke on the wage problem from the standpoint of the social worker. At the first general meeting of the conference last night Attorney Gen- eral John G. Sargent said that there was no true charity in giving that which meant nothing to the giver. He said that those perform the greatest charity who show the helpless how to help themselves Right Rev. Thomas J. Shahan, rec- tor of Catholic University, reviewed the progress of Catholic charity since 1910, when it first placed on an organized basis. % S‘IVI\GS Life Insurance on Monthly Deposits 710 Llath (G For a quick ciue to what has been lost —run an ad in The Star Classified Section.
