Parents Blamed for |
Juvenile Crime
Atlanta, Ga.— Recent investiga
tors of the causes of juvenile crime
do not hesitate to place the blame
squarely upon the parents, it was
pointed out here recently by officials
of the Juvenile Protective Associa
tion, which organization has been en-‘
gaged in child welfare work for many
years throughout the South. Rev.
Crawford Jackson, secretary of the‘
association, said that this will come
as a shock to all those who consider
themselves eminently fitted to per
form this. most important function of
bringing up children.
“Yet the facts prove,” Mr. Jackson
said, “that a large percentage of par
ents are guilty either of ignorance,
neglect or carelessness, with the in
evitable result that the children get
off to a bad start. And the injured
party is not the parent, nor the out
raged society, but the poor, unfortu
nate, misguided child.
Mr. Jackson, who is widely known
both as an author and minister, hav
ing written a number of books on bird
life, does not hesitate to say that it
is indeed time that steps were taken
to educate parents in the privileges
and duties of the high office of pa
renthood.
The Juvenile Protective Associa
tion, together with other agencies
which it helped to establish, has been
largely instrumental in creating ju
venile courts and probation systems
throughout the South. The associa
tion is backing a movement at the
present time to build “The Junior
Republic of the South” for wayward
boys and girls. It will be a village
with every modern ‘equipment for
work and study. Both boys and girls
will be taught trades.

ciation Contest” for girls throughout
the Southern States In connection
with the Harvest Campaign under the
direction of the Southern Governors
|to complete the sale of the South’s
| allotment of 2,500,000 Confederate
Memorial Half-Dollars. |
l The Southern Governors have ac-.
| cepted officially for their several|
States a quota of coins calculated on
the basis of white population and
! bank deposits, and each Governor is
| officially directing a campaign to sell
Ithe quota allotted to his State. |
At a conference in Atlanta, on July'
I 20, when the Harvest Campaign was
organized, the Governors adopted a‘
I resolution declaring it to be the dutyl
of the people of the South to buy
Confederate Memorial Half-Dollars at
a premium to show their apprecia-
I tion of the generous act ‘of Congress
authorizing the mintage of these
coins as a ‘“Memorial to The Valor
of the Soldiers of the South.” On
that basis the Governors pledged
tehir people to take their respective
quotas, and on that basis the Gover
nors are conducting the Harvest:
Campaign.
Inasmuch as the appreciation of
the people of the South is the basis
of appeal in the Hagvest Campaign,’

girls in the several towns in a county,
in cases where a county has more

together with their personal attrac
tiveness. ‘
The two girls making the best all
round records in a county will be de

New Gateway to West
' For Products of South
Knoxville, Tenn., Dec.—ln con
nection with its new John Sevier
terminal, located six miles east of
Knoxville, the Southern Railway Sys
tem has established a transfer station
which is now the clearing house for
package freight moving from Vir
ginia, Carolina and East Tennessee
territory to the west and southwest,
and is greatly expediting the move
ment of manufactured products and
merchandise from the South.
John Sevier transfer has capacity
for handling 120 cars per day and is
now loading an average of 500 cars
per week. Freight for the west is
loaded to this transfar where solid
cars are made up for a large number
of points including Cincinnati, Louis
ville, East St. Louis, Memphis, New
Orleans, Cleveland, Detroit, Indian
apolis, Chicago, Minneapolis, St.
Paul, Kansas City, Springfield, Mo.,
and Cheyenne, Wyo.
For Chicago proper cars are loaded
to move via four different routes,
while, to insure the prompt move
ment of freight for points beyond,
cars are loaded to three leading
transfer stations in the Chicago terri
tory. Similarly cars are loaded for
direct delivery to three north bank
lines at Cincinnati, as well as to the
Southern’s own freight house, and to
two western lines at E. St. Louis.
A great volume of freight is now
being loaded direct to John Sevier
which was formerly handled at the
Southern’s transfers at Spencer, N.
C., and Inman, Ga. As a result back
hauling and indirect movement have
been eliminated and the movement
generally accelerated.
GET RID OF THAT
| : BACKACHE!
\
FITZGERALD PEOPLE POINT THE
% WAY.
The constant aching of a bad back,
The weariness, the tired feeling;
Headaches, dizziness, nervousness,
Are often signs of failing kidneys
And too serious to be neglected.
Get rid of these troubles!
© Use Doan’s Pills—a stimulating
diuretic to the kidneys:. \ ;
Hosts of people recommend Doan’s.
This is a Fitzgerald case.
You can verify it.
J. H. Wideman, R. R. engineer,
807 W. Central Avenue, says: “Rid
ing an engine for thirty years is a
severe strain on a man’s back and
kidneys. At times my back ached
dreadfully and it hurt me to stoop.
My kidneys acted irregularly, too.
Doan’s Pills relieved these attacks.”
FOUR YEARS LATER, Mr. Wide
man added: “Doan’s have never
failed to relieve me of lame back.”

Old Term of Reproach
The word “curmudgeon,” meaning a
crusty and disagreeable person, is a
corruption of corn merchant. During
a period of financial depressfon in Eng
land the eorn merchants were accused
of keeping up the price of corn
through their avarice, and hence “corn
merchant” came Into use as & term of
reproach.
