He told how the navy is | now building 424 capital and other| important ships. ! Discussing the use of submarine chasers, he said they were regarded as a necessity and there was “no great | - enthusiasm about them as a weapon | for permanent effectiveness.” Naval aviation he said, has made LIGHTLESS NIGHTS ON THURS.

T believe, however, when you know all | we have attempted we will receive | vour confident judgment that we have done as well as possible under all cir- cumstances.” Secretary Daniels told how, in the | exigencies at the outset of the war, | keels had been laid where there were , swamp lands but a few months before | and how mechanical equipment had | been developed. i Most contractors, he said, have been fair and patriotic. “There have been a few,” he said, “we had to take by the nape of the neck. They came in saying they want- ed to do their bit, but really wanted their bit.” He: did not like the “cost plus ten per cent.” system, he said, but it was the best the navy could do to get quick action and it had been nccessary. Tift Enlivens. A tiff between Secretary Daniels and Representative Britton enlivened the on. Britton asked what com- plaints had been made to the Navy department by Vice Admiral Sims. “I think that is not a proper ques- tion to ask,” said the secretary. “I will say though inasmuch as the ques- tion has been asked in open session, that Admiral Simg has been sgiven everything that the navy has that it could give.” Secretary Daniels did not believe mere gossip should be bandied about. “If Admiral Sims,” he added, “is not getting everything that is needed, it is a matter for opera- tions to say whether he should have it. Operations has spent itself giving all that Admirals Sims needs that the department has. “I think this small business. “I'm asking about Britton. “If you have any facts, give them,” shot back the secretary. Britton said he hoped it was not the desire of the committee merely ‘to show the favorable condition of the navy. “If a commanding officer here or abroad,” said Britton, “complains that he is not getting what he wants, it is proper to ask about it.” “As to whether every requirement of Admiral Sims on the European sta- tion has been complied with,” replied the secretary, “or whether every mat- ter of strategy has been complied with, I would say these ought not be asked about. Admiral @ims has made no complaint. He asked for some particular man to go over there who could not be sent because of other duties. There Is a perfect under- standing between Admiral Sims and the department.” e 100 PER CENT.

The records of 1,79 children who passed through tla & Children’s court in New York in 1914 were studied by Miss Ellis to find 0 whether there is greater tendemey to delinquency among employed or uney empoyed children. The popular Ia.lv{ ing is that the child who is not em: ployed is more likely to get intc mis chief than the employed child, b Miss Hllis found quite the opposite toy be the case—that working children contributed four times their share to the ranks of juvenile delinquency. They are also responsible for a larger, proportion of serious offenses than the non-working children. “Among the recidivists, or rej " says Miss Ellis, “bath t! absolute and relative numbers of! workers are very much in éxcess of{ . the unemployed.” In an effort to account for the p | | showing of the working children, m terial was gathered showing the ame, amount af schooling, nationality and: . | home conditions of these children compared Wwith unemployed childrems In every case it was found that con- ditions were about the same for the two groups—that the working chil- dren had as much education, as intel- ligent parents, and as good homes as the non-working children. “It is hard to avoid the canclusion,” says Miss Ellis, “‘that the mere fact of being at work, irrespective of oc- cupation, was a more potent factor than age or family conditions in | bringing these boys before the Chil- dren’s court.” In her recommendations, Miss Ellls urges better enforcement of child la- bor and compulsory education laws, the establishment of more special schools far the retarded boy who is not mentally defectjve, and vocation- al guidance of children who are of the legal age for employment and are mentally and physically flt to go to work.
