AMERICAN YOUTH Elizabeth ("Betty”) Clark, 13, of Be dars, Delaware, is one of thsY ’State's girl candidates for the Aaieri cm Youth Award, established by fir directors of the Sesqui-Centennial tn. ternattonal Exposition, to be held at Philadelphia from June 1 to Decem ber 1 in observance of ir.o years ol American Independence. .If "Betty-” is finally chosen to represent Delaware she will be given a week’s trip to th Exposition and to Washington and the White House, where she will receive a medal front the hands < f President Coolidge. High Point, May 19.—T>- C<>> ••!.'er cial National batik was robbed of Stif o by two boys aye/. 9 and il. hero to day. One of the-little robber, was cap tUred by poiko. and the entire amount: stolen was recovered. The other ju venile bandit is still at larg«, but the authorities believe they wi-lj b<- able to arrest him soon. The two little boys, whose names are withheld because of their extreme youth, entered a side door of the b« :.k this morning about 8 o’clock. T* e ; bank had. not been opened to the pah lic,' but clerks and officials v.-e rc trie-, e preparing for the day’s work. 1 he loot was stolen from a teller’s win dow, it being in 3100 and $50 no*, The Joss iy«a not disco' >r< d by the bank until later in the da;. : fU r the boys had made a di; of tin j money over the city and sene one j.ected them of robbery. The little fellows might have uc eecd.ed in rhe theft had they not ivied to get the bills cashed at several places. They fir: t tiled a five and •: n cent store, but when the clerk, told them she did not have money" to change , a fifty dollar bill, ih y i went to a cafe. Not being succe - ’ d th< they .went o the Bril Funvturc com pany, and there rati their "Waterloo". One, of the clerks at this :■: .re cashed •ihc- note, but thought trange afTuds having so much money. So he en'Hrd the bank and asked if they r/b/ed any money. A search was' instituted for the two boys. One of them was found at j Elm strcc- school, and arrested. He. had five dollars' on his person. A large crowd of bank workers, and po licemen accompanied the ivy to the place where be anti 1 is partner in crome had hidden the loot. A :.um of $645 was found in a garage to the rear of the High Point Hosiery mills. Asked what lie expected to do v. i 'i the five dollars he had in his pocket,' the boy replitd, ‘‘Ok., just get me a good dinner.” There is justice, and a ! uH-dozir? lawyer probably has a wife who is animated by a how-come complex. Example of kidding the first per son singular: wef.thiy go-getter saying he doesn’t love money for its own sake. Judge Says Check Law Is Invalid Means In Certain Instances Impri sonment For Debt.
