It’s a messy situation, not because the ceunty can’t put the youngsters in jail when the éal, but because many of them are growing up to be a class gang of thugs and their present Jife is a crime school with everything except the diploma. Parents of the youngsters, questioned abcut the whereabouts ,of their offspring after some of them had been identified in a house breaking, admitted to sheriff’s of- ficers that they hadn’t seen the boys in days and hadn’t the faintest idea where th2y might be found. Even if jail were the sensible answer to the problem, and it is not, the county has no place to put the children when they are caught in anything short of murder. Most of them are under the minimum age limit for the state reformatory at Marianna, and | if they are 12 years old, Marianna is so full | of “pupils” now that there isn’t room for more. Part of the answer seems to be up to Monroe schools and to Frank any eounty | Velasco, dounty juvenile probation officer, Water and Sewerage. More Hotels and Apartments. Beach and Bathing Pavilion.

Just what a schoo] would look like after some of the little darlings had paid it a visit, we | don’t know, but the fact that many of them haven’t seen the inside of a school is not a yarticularly good recommendation for Velasco. Aside from the authorities, the ‘parents | who permit their children to dance on the streets until after midnight and see them every week or so are not giving either the children or the community an even chance. After all, most of them, black and white, | are from nine to 12 years old. Someone in Key West ought to be able to work out a so- lution before they tear down both the city and their own lives. JAPANESE-AMERICANS An organized movement on the part | of American citizens of Japanese ancestry | to definitely proclaim their entire loyalty to | the United States is being made under the auspices of the newly-organized speakers’ bureau of the Los Angeles Citizens’ League. This bureau is headed by an American ! born Japanese, Masao Satow, a graduate of | | the University of California and of Prince- ton Theological Seminary. Its object is to better inform the public of the patriotic at- titude of Japanese-Americans, which their representatives have embodied in a creed which declares, in part: “I am proud that F am an American ancestry, for my very background makes me appreciate more fully the wonderful advantages of this nation. She has granted me liberties and opportunities. She has permitted me to build a home, to earn a livelihood, to wor- ship, think, speak and act as I please. ‘Because I believe in America, I pledge myself to do honor to her at all times; to support her Constitution to obey vs; to respect her flag; to defend her against all enemies, foreign and domestic; to assume my obligations as a ¢ itizen, cheer- citizen of Japanese fully and without any reservations w hatso- | ever, in the hope that I may become a bet- ter American in a greater America.” If all our citizens, whatever their origin, would adopt and live up to the prin- eiples embodied in the foregoing creed, we would have less of the internal strife which is our country’s greatest danger today. ABOUT AIRPLANE ACCIDENTS Every once in a while we hear some anxious American express alarm and amazement at the, number of pilots killed in airplane accidents. t is true that accidents have increased and that they are overemphasized in the public mind by the publicity they receive It is well to remember, however, that the Army and the Navy are doing more flying than ever before General George £ f of the Army, in diseus dents cites figures for the Army, that in 1921 there was one accident avery 214 hours of flying but that i there was one accident for While the number o*% increased about third, the twelve times.
