Dallas, Texas.—Something new in
the way of official recognition is
being handed out almost daily to
the common people of Dallas by
their newly-elected mayor, J. Wad

ticket and swamped his opponents
with a flood of votes.

done than he abolished the JO o'clock
curfew which has been in force in
the city parks.
"It's a shame that the common
people, the blue-shirt crowd, have
had so many privileges taken from

to put a stop to it and give every

“Use The Rod” Is Advice
Of Noted Judge Of Chicago
Hoys Aren't Any Worse, But
Temptation Is More
Plentiful.
Chicago.—Back to parental db»
cipline—the rod, If necessary—that 3'
the way to puncture the whoop in
according to Judge Francis B, Al
legretti, of Chicago, who in the
the last two and one-half years on
the bench has passed on the cases
of 20.000 boys between the ages of
17 and 21 years.
"Boys aren't any worse today
than they were in the past,’’ Judge
Allegretti declared. "I'd hate to
think God was short-changing this
generation and I know He’s not.
Many Temptations.
"The trouble is boys are confront
ed with more temptations now than
before. There’s the automobile, the
hip flask, the airplane, the movie
with its elongated kissing scenes.
They all have a bearing on the
morals of the times.
"In the last analysis, ol course,
all goodness or badness in youtii
has its loundation in their environ
ment. That’s the starting point
from which any remedial measures
must begin. If a boy's home isn’t
w-hat it should be, there's little or
no use of the state trying to do
anything with the boy.
“The boy or girl reflects a loose
ness and laxity at home as a mirror
reflects a face. The modern yout 1
thtnkc he knows more than his la
ther and mother. His idea is they're
old-fashioned, not up to trend of
the times. Once the boy is allowed
to get that idea firmly fixed in his
mind, all parental control is gone.
“Hold the reins on your boy—
is the time when the most parental
care is needed. In the years from 13
to 18. he said, the ordinary boy
needs not only the friendly coopera
tion of his father and mother, but
of everyone with whom he comes
in contact.
“It is during this formative period
that boys are the most secretive,"
said the Judge. “And to overcome
this secrecy, parents need to be
particularly close to their chil
dren.
“Especially is It necessary to
watch their own conduct, for chil
dren copy the manners and con
duct of their parents to a marked
degree. Parents have a responsibil
ity When they bring children into
the world; and they should be guid
ed not alcne by their own happi
ness. but with an eye to the future
good of their off-spring.
“Separation and divorce of moth
ers and fathers is one of the com
monest basic reasons for boys going
wrong In the years I have been on
the bench, it has been my experi
ence that 75 per cent of the boys
coming before me were from homes
where the parents were either living
apart, divorced, or where the mother
was a widow or the father a wido v
er”
The Golden Rule is still a good
one to follow, Judge Allegrettl be
lieves
Diet Important.
And, he counsels, don't forget that
what a child eats plays a big part,
also, in what he will be. The boy
or girl s diet should be regulated, he
believes, Just as his manners and
he recommends the advice of a con
pctent physician.
“No matter how virtuous and good
a soul may be, it's hard for it to
function in a crippled or distorted
body," he said.
“I don't believe that a boy may in
herit a criminal mind, but I certain
ly am sure he may inherit a suscept
ibility of criminally. Criminal tend
encies in boys however, can be con
trolled by training, but we must
guard the weak spots and keep con
tinually on watch.”

lias Palace In Greenville Guard
ed By Two Energetic
Bull Dogs.
Spartanburg.—There is only one
queen bootlegger in the upper part
of the state who has really earned
the imperial title, according to Sher
iff N. L. Bennett.
“Her Majcstys' name was not
disclosed, but it. is understood her
"palace" is in Greenville and that
she plies her trade between the
Carolina* in a sort of double sys
tem. The "queen” is recognized as
the mast cunning of all dealers in
South Carolina contraband and does
ajn enormous amount of business.
Officers have been informed she
transports liquor to North Carolina,
particularly Polk county, from this
section and in turn takes on a load
of Tar Heel spirits for this state.
This double hauling system is be
lieved to be due to the fact that she
is in control of two liqur rings.
She supplies one in North Carolina
on one trip and while there loads
up for the ring back in this state.
Real "Palace.”
Rumors have it that "the queen”
has a home that is really a palace,
uniformed servants, liveried chauf
feur, and two bull dogs that have
skins “nobody loves to touch.”
Her car is of an expensive make
and she usually rides in the rear
while her chauffeur pilots the ma
chine along routes calculated to
elude officers. She is said to be
about 35 years of age, about five
feet tall, a strikingly beautiful
blonde and wears ultra smart
clothes.
Her machine was searched five
times one Sunday although no whis
key was found. She was searched
twice by; Sheriff Bennett and his of
ficers and three times by officers
from Polk county.
Tay* Cp Bills.
As far as all available information
goes she is scrupulously honest; all
bills are paid promptly. But they
are paid by mail as her bull do»s
and collectors are not in good social
standing with each other.
Dame rumor has also whispered
around that she is tender-hearted
and has helped numbers of poor
people, as well as giving money to
charity causes.
Recently nothing has been heard
of the "queen.” Officers have not
been fully convinced she has quit

to the edge of the green and two
safe putts. Newnham was over the

two putts. The 12th was halved with
fours, and Newnham won the 13th

14th hole, getting to within 20 feei

of the grass rough to within four
feet of the pin. and going down with

drive, but sailed into the trees to

with his second, stopped in the
grass at the edge of the green with
