. PRSON TERNS FORYOUTHS HALTED Juvenile Courts to Handle Cases of Children Violat- ing Federal Laws. Children who violate the Federal laws will hereafter be dealt with as juvenile offenders and turned over to the juris- diction of local and State juvenile! Courts and detention homes instead of being tried in the Federal courts as eriminal adults and sentenced to Fed- eral prisons. | The Department of Justice and offi- | clals of the Children’s Bureau have Joined in an effort to prevent juvenile Prisoners from being sent to Federal prisons. On March 15 Judge Carl Britt Hyatt of the Juvenile Court of Ashe- ville, N. C, will be charged with the Job of enlisting local and State co-oper- | ation in this program. Attorney General Willlam D. Mitchell and the Prison Bureau of the Depart- ment of Justice, headed by Sanford Bates, have been working to correct a situation which was making criminals | out of boys and girls sentenced to Fed- eral prisons by Federal courts for of- fenses which, though they constitute violation of the Federal laws, are con- sidered minor misdemeanors by local or State juvenile courts. ‘The child who steals a bottle of milk from a freight car or stamps from a post office, the boy of 15 and 16 who drives into another State with a stolen car will be treated as a juvenile de-{ linquent and not as an adult Federal offender. Officials Notified. All United States attorneys, commis- sioners, marshals, Bureau of Investiga- tion agents in charge and prohibition administrators throughout the country have been notified by the Attorney Gen- eral with reference to the treatment of Jjuvenile delinquents coming into Fed- |4 eral custody. Juvenile delinquents who come Into FPederal custody according to the At- torney General's order are to be prompt- ly returned to the communities from which they come, for care and super- vision or punishment by local and State authorities. Where funds are unavail- able to pay the cost of returning juve- riles to their own communities, every effort is to be made to get in touch with State or local agencies having to do with juveniles at the places where | the juveniles reside and enlist their | interests to take over the case. “Altogether the largest number of juveniles falling into the hands of the Federal authorities are those who have been detected in violation of the Dyer act, relating to the transportation of stolen automobiles in interstate com- merce,” declared Atorney General Mitchell. “I believe it is better for these boys 1o be under the control and supervision | of the public authorities of the locality where they are known and in which they reside instead of being shipped around the country to Federal penal institutions or put on rrobation by Federal courts in the districts where they are captured and prosecuted by the Federal authority, which is usnally not the district from which they come. Federal institutions have no adequate facilities for taking care of boys of this type and the moral respensibility for the expense rests primarily on the localities in which they have lived and not on the Federal Government. “The juvenile delinquent problem has existed, resulting from the fact that thousands of juveniles were annually coming into the custody of Federal criminal agencies withéut any adequate means of dealing with them. Question of Welfare. “For two years we in the Department of Justice have been working out a plan to order things so that delinquent children will be left to the people of their own communities for care and | supervision. | “That is not a mere matter of shifting | the financial burden or lack of Federal equipment. It is a question of child welfare which the Children’s Bureau has long advocated in the course of its | work with the welfare agancies. “No you believe that the offending children of your community should be | taken away from you by some bureau at the seat of Government and sent to a distant Federal institution? This ]I:utm mpo&mlhfluny and of over- iction one respectin, wm‘no hard and fast rules can bge laid down. It must be settled by study of individual cases, and above all by a prompt and hearty co-operation be- tween State and Federal agencies work- ing, not with a view to shirking ex- pense and responsibility, but solely in the public interest.” ‘To make is possible to return to his home community a juvenile who is ar- | rested under Federal process in another | State, a bill, authorized by the Attor- ney General, has been prepared to ac- complish this and it is being submitted Congress. Several Steps Taken. Specifically, the following steps have been taken by the Attorney General to prevent the number of juveniles in the Federal system from being increased Probation officers have been or- ranized and required to report each case of juvenile delinquency to his office. Minute instructions have been given probation officers as to the need for referring to the local agencies each | difficulties. Jjuveniles wherever possible. This order is being diligently followed up. Juvenile Eouni Judges xt‘l.ln" hbeen" called ether in a meeting; ha cfiularized by the Children’s Bureau and have psts;ed resolutions Ppledging their co-operation. Repregemazives of the Federal Prison Bureau and the Probation Association met _at Baltimore with the Conference of Juvenile Agencies. A committee of this organization has been appointed to co-operate with this bureau. In Touch With Children’s Bureau. New contracts are being made Wwith local schools of the best character, such as Jamesburg, N. J.; Dobbs Ferry, N. Y. and Loch Raven, Md. for the care of juveniles coming into the Fed- eral system. 3 The probation system of the Prison Bureau is in constant contact with the Children’s Bureau with reference to_individual cases presenting peculiar With the co-operation of the Bu-eau of Prisons, the Children's Bureau has!| Charge Accounts Invited!

QUICK RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, cian for 20 years, and calomel's old- time enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating pa- tients for chronic constipation and torpid livers. ’ Olive Tablets do not contain calo- mel. just a healing, soothing vege- table laxative safe and pleasant.

In 1905, when the juvenile court system was adopted throughout the country, no provision was thought necessary for a Federal juvenile sys- tem,” Dates declared. “However, after passage of the Dyer act, the white slave, prohibition and immigration laws, the lack of special courts for juveniles became a problem, since the numbers of boys and girls as loflannlefl of these Federal laws began to increase. It was necessary to treat them as adult offenders or :::. :4; build up an entirely new Sys! juvenile procedure by the Federal Gov- ernment, which would mean special sessions, special juvenile homes, judges and probation officers. The obvious thing to do was to have the Government pull out and refer the juvenile cases back to the communities to handle. Otherwise the boy or girl would have to be tried before a judge not used to juvenile cases, held for trial with adult | prisoners. And in many cases the youthful prisoner might be tried in El Paso and then sent to a Federal | reformatory 1,500 miles away with the consequent difficult adjustments. 4 “There may have been some laws passed by the Federal which are unpopular in & given com- munity and thsrc ey xéa\-cth:efigmn feeling developed that leads = mumfy to wash its hm';ds [o( cex;\t:‘h; which they in turn Ve B er to the Federal Government Women’s $1.50 “Seco” Silk Hose 39¢ Irregulars — full-fashioned chiffon silk; hi-dull twist.

It has been the growing con- viction on the part of sociologists and public officials that the most hopeful fleld for crime prevention is with the younger generation and that it is in- finitely more important to provide the kind of reconstructive and intelligent care for young offenders that is neces- sary if they are to be turned from a life of crime than it is to spend our days in discussing which jurisdiction, Government | State or Federal, shall have the honor (?) of prosecuting a boy who has stolen & car.

The Wickersham Commission called | attention to this situation and urged | that the Federal Government withdraw | from the field and allow matters of juvenile delinquency to be handled by the localities. But Bates is not so sure the problem is as simple as this. For some time the Bureau of Prisons has been engaging in an intensive drive to induce localities to undertake the pros- | ecution and treatment of juveniles wherever that is possible. Some legislation may be advisable, according to Bates. There may be thorny questions of jurisdiction and constitutional power which will have to be threshed out. It will undoubtedly be necessary to clothe the Federal Gov- emment with the power to remove ju- veniles caught in a foreign district to double-bed size. round - thread in of the Buying Power of $100,000,000!
