Did Yon Ever Think? That when vou see a misstate ment in your local newspaper it is not necessarily evidence of stupid ity, carelessness, malice or mend acity. No two witi esses of the same event ever see it from exact ly the same angle, or evert toll precisely the same story about it. even when testifying under oath in a court,of law. Newspapers, no matter how carefully edited, are as liable to error ns any other products of human ingenuity and labor. Reporters are seldom actual i particinauts in the events which they chronicle. The news gather ers are obligated to obtain their informs'ion at second or third hand. They hear, ai d are some times obligated to attempt to it- ] concile conflicting statements, i When thp reporter has gathered his facts, they must iwss succes sively through the hands of ihe copy render, linotyper, proof reader, and corrector, each of whom is a possible source of error. To any man or woman who tins become familiarized by long ex perience with the mechanical pro cess of a newspaper and the ne~ sonall factors that enable it to func tion, the wonder is. not that it makes so many mistakes, but >hat it makes so few. The next time you detect an in accuracy in a newspaper account of an event of which you have some knowledge, give the staff the benefit of the doubt. If it is a po lice item, visualize the policeman who gave the information. If it is a business item or a social item, ask yourself whether the reporters informant had a motive fer con veying a false impression. It is not fair to the pewspaner to con vict it without a hearing. Why make the newspaper the goat?— Philadelphia Record.

Plans are under way to curb him in smaller cities. Business of sell ing papers is being regulated by the state. The work is being done under ■the direction of the state child | welfare commission, of which E. F. | Carter is the executive secretary. !fhe law covering regulation of [ children engaged in street trades [was passed by the legislature in the special session of 1924 but the child welfare commission had been studying the situation since 1922. Now, in the seven cities where the trade is regulated, a boy to sell papers must get a badge from the welfare officer in charge of the district in which he lives. He must wear it conspicuously, thus giving police an easy way to keep unlicensed children from engag ing in street trades. Children be-, tween 14 and 16 are eligible to sell papers between the hours of six a. m. and seven p. m., but children under 14 and over 12 can sell them only outside of school hours. Under 12, they cannot engao-e in street trades under the North Carolina law. Mr. Carter said the plan v-'s working out beautifully in the seven cities it is in operation ami that in Raleigh 57 boys had been licensed for street trade, nine in Durham, 47 in Winston-Salem, 65 in Charlotte, 23 in High Point, 44 in Greensboro, and 15 in Asheville. He said that a prominent juve nile judge had told him that he recognized the regulatory work of the commissions as one of the greatest deterrents to street beg ging and juvenile delinquency. "Until recent years very little thought was given to children en gaged in street trade,” Mr. Carter said. "Many worthy children suf fered by comparison with the large number of delinquents in the business. It is to eliminate the bad elements that the commission is directing ivs effects.
