Foodstuffs and their | to_take them.” No other reason. When the child’s parents were summoned to the Deten- tion House they were horrified at what their daughter had done. She had been well brought up, both home and relig- ious training had been of the best and the child was not only mentally alert, preparation form one of the !erlous{b“‘ precocious to the extent that, at 12 lems which confronts the house- | years of age, she led her class, the sec- ceper of the hostel in Bombay, which |ond year of high school. provides a residence for all classes of women students attending the univer- sities and colleges in the Indian city. Ratablished 36 Years Ago. fhe University Settlement was es- tolished in Bombay about 36 years ajo, for the purpose of helping the Indian women to understand better the new Western civilization, which was bringing to them new methods and new ideas and to assist them in apply- ing to the best advantage these ideas in the solution of their own problems. “It is our work,” explained Miss Harley, “to provide a happy and com- fortable home for these young Indian girls, who have so eagerly accepted the new freedom which has come to them and who are entering the colleges and universities in increasing numbers. ‘There are five English women on the ‘Thostel staff, and not only must we get as close to our girls as possible, guiding and directing them in their problems, but we must provide recreation and amusement for them and assist them in the difficulties met by them in their studies.” Miss Harley's Work Outlined. Miss Harley, who received her degree of bachelor of arts from Somerville College, Oxford, in 1919, is not only on several of the committees working for the social betterment of the Indian women, but she also lectures in the ‘Wilson College of Bombay University and is manager of the settlement home, | planning and providing the meals for | the 40 or more women who reside | within its doors. Miss Hawey hopes by her studies in the United States to learn many things which will be of value in the prepara- tion and preservation of foods. ‘“‘Your refrigeration methods are of greatest | interest to me,” she said. “Also the food value charts, which are gotten up | by the Bureau of Economics in Wash- gton. After spending some time in Wash- | ington, Miss Harley hopes to visit the | home economics departments and schools of other parts of the country, including the Merrill-Palmer School in Detroit, the Teachers’ College of Co- lumbis University, Cornell, University ot‘h Chicago, Iowa State College and others. ATTORNEYS DEFEND GRAND JURY ACTS Rover Replies to Sculptor’s Charges That Drawing Was Tllegal. United ‘States Attorney Rover and Assistant United States Attorney Neil | Burkinshaw has defended the legality | of the present grand jury in repli- cations filed in answer to pleas in abatement brought by W. Clark Noble, | local sculptor; his wife, Emile B. Noble, and Stephen A. Armstrong, jr., who, with Anna M. Hillenbrand and James |t F. Bird, are charged with a conspiracy lo blackmail Capt. and Mrs. C. C. Cal- houn in connection with the operation of the Woman's Universal Alliance. ‘The prosecutors insisted that the Jury was properly drawn and empan- €lled and denied that the conference between Burkinshaw and Justice Gor- don during the qualification of the grand jury had anything to do with the nnel of the grand jury. They admit that a woman was withdrawn from the panel and another substituted. but declare this was because it was Jearned that she was. receiving checks from the Veterans’ Bureau as compen- sation to her children. The attention of the court is called | to the claim that no prejudice has been | ehown to have been suffcred by the defendants, | BOND JUMPER CAUGHT. | —_— | Detectives Arrest Alleged Liquor| Defendant From Knoxville, Tenn. Alleged to have jumped his bond in Knoxville, Tenn., where he was charged with a violation of the dry law, Frank Epearo, colored, 40 years old, Washing- ton, was arrest:d in Southwest Wash- | ington early yesterday by Detectives | William Messer and W. J. DuBusky. | E. M. Haynes, chief of police of XKnoxville, requested his arrest and an- nounced the offer of a reward of $50 for his capture. When taken to police ‘Theadquarters, Spearo registered an ob- Jection to returning to his former home, but changed bis mind when shown a | copy of an indictment returned against him since his departure. | Commissioned as Captain.

Yet she was being held in the House of Detention on charges of shoplifting. If taken before the Juvenile Court and placed on probation it would ruin her at school. The girl promised to “be good” in the future. The store was persuaded to withdraw the charges and the child was sent home to her parents. Two weeks later, in another Wash- ington store, the policewoman again took this little girl into custody, caught in the act of “lifting.” She was in no | need of what she had taken and ap- parently had no excuse for doing so0. ‘Was the girl an incorrigible thief? It was for the women at the “bureau” to decide whether the child was just an | ordinary shoplifter, to be sent to the reformatory, or whether it was a case for a psychiatrist. The latter course was decided upon, again the store was | induced to withdraw its charges and | the child was turned over for treat- ment to a leading psychiatrist. Child’s Rescue Accomplished. | A little more than a year 12-year-old girl was helped by the doc- tor to find herself. The second offense of shoanmng was never repeated and the child, at 14 years of age, is to grad- uate from high school with honors. Before the establishment of the | ‘Women’s Bureau the 12-year-old girl caught publicly stealing in a depart- ‘ment store would have of necessity been summoned before the Juvenile Court. For the first offense she might have been placed on probation. A second of- fense would have been commitment to a reformatory. The women who must discriminate as how to best handle offenders and de- linquents must have superior training. Theirs is not merely the work of mak- ing arrests and " haveing offenders punished. It is their work to study personalities, to distinguish between the woman and child who is fundamentally evil and incorrigible and the one who, with proper handling, can be corrected and educated to occu{:y a useful place in_society.
