What the Juvenile Gourts Do
By reason of the passage by
the Legislature of the State-wide
Juvenile Court law, children un
der sixteen years of age cannot
any longer be considered crimi
nals under the laws of this State
when they are guilty of some in
fraction of the State or local
laws. They must be dealt with,
not as criminals in the courts
where adult men and women are
tried and prosecuted, but they i
must be dealt with in a special
court and in a manner designed
to provide discipline, correction
and help to correct their bad hab-
its, just as such discipline and
help should be provided by all ,
parents, but is not

According to the racket they keep on

maybe hundreds of dollars change hands
daily, eleventeen hundred dogs, from

It's a shame that these worthless dogs
(and if they are not worthless they
should be kept at home) are allowed
the freedom of the seas and streets to
such an extent that .everybody. and ev

think of it! Fifteen.dogs in one heap,
all piled up together playing football,
as it were, a)l fighting,, scratching and
barking at the same time:
