JUVENILE LAW CHANGE URGED Social Work Director Also Advocates Facilities to End Delinquency. Juvenile delinquency in the District would be greatly reduced if recrea- tional and vocational facilities were afforded the idle youth, particularly | boys, Miss Louise McGuire, director | of social work in the Juvenile Court, declared last night in an address before the Kalorama Citizens' Asso- ciation. Miss McGuire covered a varied field of youth problems, also explaining the position. She cited the need for a change in the present law to permit investigation of juvenile cases before they were brought to court, asserting this could not be done under present legislation. She also recommended a change that would permit less formal hearings, adding that the court should not come under the criminal system. “Places should be established,” she declared, “where the youth, particu- larly the boys who, having finished high school, cannot get employment could occupy themselves with voca- tional and educational as well as recreational training. The present school system is too rigid. By that I mean the precisement and uniformity functioning of her | Candidate SEEKS LEADERSHIP OF YOUNG DEMOCRATS. J.

Because of the nature of the cam- paign the three District Commission- ers jointly have issued a proclama- tion designating “Bundle Week” and calling “upon all District citizens to co-operate in the campaign of the Washington Junior Board of Com- | merce by donation of discarded cloth- | ing for distribution to the needy.” Corcoran Thom, jr., president, has SPECIALS WEDNESDAY, MAY 15TH Assorted Cream Wafers STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Miss McGuire advocated more ade- quate facilities for caring for children st the District Receiving Home. The home is supposed to care for children only temporarily, she said. but often keeps them for weeks. She told of the conditions there, declaring recent- Iv she was notified 16 of the child {nmates slept on floors. Children 4 and 5 years of age are thrown into contact with the older classes, she declared, many of whom are diseased. The younger children also pick up bad traits and learn of stealing and other such vices through the older inmates. Conditions such as these should be corrected, she told the association Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley, president of the association, who presided at last night's meeting, suggested that the members of the association visit the home together some time and witness conditions at the receiving home. Miss McGuire praised the splendid conditions afforded the inmates of National Training School for Boys, citing the recreational and educational facilities given them. During the discussion after Miss McGuire's address Mrs. Wiley de- eclared there should have been a wom- an appointed in the district attorney’s office Out of 15 members present the essociation voted down 4 to 2 a reso- lution advocating bona fide District residents for District government jobs. Miss Etta L. Taggart introduced the resolution, declaring that if the right of franchise had been given the Dis- trict of Columbia such an injustice would not prevail. She referred to the recent appointment of a physical director in the public schools here as an example, and also to the appoint- ment of Dr. Ruhland as District health officer as cases where residents of Washington could have filled the po- sitions equally as well Deplores Lack of Vote. “It is a shame’ Miss Taggart de- clared, “that the District of Columbia Is deprived of the right of suffrage. Only through demanding such things as the resolution advocates can we hope to ever secure the right of franchise.” Opposing members as- serted it might quite often be neces- sary to secure the most talented per- sons to handle Government jobs from outside the city In another resolution introduced by Miss Taggart Traffic Director William A. Van Duzer was asked to make a survey of traffic-burdened intersec- tions of the city with a view to abol- ishing left-hand turns. The resolu- tion was adopted. At the suggestion of Mrs. Wiley it was voted a resolution be sent the District Commissioners commending them for their stand in favoring the present system of the long-ton meas- ure of coal instead of changing to the short ton. Mrs, Wiley also commended the safety campaign now under way here. Mrs. Edna Johnston and Warren Haines were elected first and second vice presidents of the association, re- spectively. Miss Irene Pistorio was elected a delegate to the Federation of Citizens’ Associations. Mrs. Wiley was elected president and also a dele- gate to the federation at last month's meeting. The association voted to adjourn un- til the second Tuesday in October. The meeting mas held at Mrs. Wiley's home, 2345 Ashmead place. 60-Year Fight Fails.
