HEEP ASKED FDR
JUVENILECOURT
• Philip Weltner Says the County
Assumed Burden Without
Sufficient Means.
Declaring that the county assumed
the burden of the juvenile court be
fore it had sufficient means to support
such an institution and agreeing with
Judge Pendleton in many of the judge's
criticisms. Solicitor General Philip
Waltner, of the juvenile court, today
answered the statements made by
Judge Pendleton before the Fulton
grand jury yesterday.
“Yes, I read the article about the
children’s court," said Solicitor Welt
ner. "I can not believe that Judge Pen
dleton meant that the court was an
aid to crime. I know he did not.
“The children’s court has been a re
markable factor for good in the lives
of hundreds of children. It deserves the
confidence of the people of Atlanta. The
trouble is that the county assumed the
burden of the court when it was not
ready to go the full Jength of furnish
ing it with ail the equipment It need
ed.
"The detention home Is admittedly a
makeshift, but even at that it is bet
ter than the former children's ward
at the police station. That It could
be conducted in a much better way
and with vastly better results I would
not undertake to deny.
“As far as Judge Pendleton’s recom
mendation concerns a reformatory for
negro boys, you can quote me as saying
that this is sadly needed. The one at
Milledgeville is a Juvenile penitentiary,
and ought not to be called a reforma
tory at ail. Unless you have a refor
matory, probation will be a rather lame
expedient. This method needs to be
backed up by the certain knowledge
that violations of probationary require
ments will land the offender in a re
formatory.
"But to suppose tor a moment that
negro boys are not amenable to pro
bation. if it is properly conducted, is
a mighty sad mistake. The county
ought to do all It can to provide a re
form school for negroes; it ought to
build a detention home and employ a.
person to run it who knows something
about such institutions.
"Mr. Tindall, the chief probation offi
cer, has a big problem on his hands,
and with the small staff of assistants
he now' has, the problems loom up a
great deal bigger than they otherwise
would.
“I believe in the children's court. It's
the court of the future and Its funda
mental principles will some day be uni
versally applied to the problems of
adul crime."

SOUTH GEORGIA BOY
ALMOST EQUALS BEST
CORN-GROWING TEST
That a fourteen-year-old boy of south
Georgia has come within three bushels of
equaling the world’s record corn yield for
a single acre is the report from that sec
tion of the state, according to J. Phil
Campbell, director of the Boys’ Corn clubs
of Georgia. Director Campbell declares
that he will not make public the name of
the young farmer until he has himself
verified the report sent in by the boy’s
county school commissioner.
According to the report the youngster
has raised 233 bushels on his acre of
ground, and that under the strict regula
tions of the Boys’ Corn clubs. The world’s
record for corn yield for a single acre is
236 bushels, made by a boy in .South
Carolina two years ago. In 1886 255 bush
els were raised, but this was weighed so
wet that It Is estimated the actual yield
was not over 235 bushels.
The record of the south Georgia boy, if
It is accurate, far excels the previous
Georgia record, which was 214 bushels on
a single acre. This record was made in
1911.

WHETHER FOOD IS
“AN ACT OF GOD”
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—The court

cide whether damage by flood is "an act
of God," and if so, whether the gov
ernment or the contractors, who were
direct losers, should make good the
losses ensuing.

contractors, are seeking to collect $52,-
458 which they say they spent in pro
tecting a canal on the Columbus river,
Oreg., from being destroyed by floods in

for constructing the canal—the original
improvement undertaken.
