"Parents should keep more careful watch of their offspring. It is In this way that criminals develop. I had ono case of a young boy who was governed so laxly at home that I had to bring him In for a reprimanding, and his father thn came down to clean out the police department. But he changed his mind when, he heard my reasons, and I reprimanded him before he left. That boy went to the Detention home before he was much older and a 'brother Is now In San Quentln.

ASK ONLT TRUST. The policeman is anxious to win these boys over by friendship, not by fear unless it is absolutely necessary. We want them to leave bicycles and scooters alone, and later they will not be tempted by other things. "If the boys think we are not their friends, those who have lost bicycles shbuld come down and see us. We have half a hundred perhaps, recovered and waiting identification by owners.

"We are not bugaboos. We are nurses to the Infants, friends to the children, and helpers to the parents. All we want Is cooperation in establishing a trust in our motives." rsJ' I 1 I PURIM ADDRESS 1 ptt 111 LAUDS OLD BDDK pliPfl Vi- -1 in da-II fiWr-rt, ll "-48 vftthe SIGNoFiheBIG CHAIR petition!

And, according to Publlo Administrator Albert Hill, there are nearly as many wave as there are wills. Hill, whose business It Is to see that Droperty reaches the hands of the nrooer heirs in a legal manner, frequently has occasion to searon the effects left by a person after death for some trace of a will. "The wills ars often left In strange forms.

through lernorance on the part of tne testa tor, the' document falls short of being a valid will. "There was ths case of Charles Kruse, for instance. Kruse died In a little shack in the hills. When his possessions were searched, a scrap of paper was found bearing the words in a pencilled scrawl: 'Oakland. March IS This Is my gift of Deed all Is in my possession to Mr.

Q. W. Brussean after my daet. 'CHAS. FROPJERTT VALUABLE.

TJpon Investigation it was re vealed that Kruse owned 10 acres of land In the Piedmont hills where he had been raising roses. Brusseau had been his close friend and had cared for him prior to his death. It was apparent that Kruse Intended Brusseau to have the property. But he had neglected to Include the year in the date at the top, making the document invalid The Piedmont property is now of tremendous value. The cass Is complicated by the appearance of heirs from abroad, aryl Is now In the hands of the supreme court." HUI also told of Mary E.

Mc- Intyre, who died In a home for the aged. Miss Mclntyre apparently had something of a passion for writing wills. During the last days of her life, as shs contemplated approaching death, shs wrote voluminous documents In long hand; first In pencil and later going over them with Ink. One of these wills, written In tiny characters, completely filled a sheet of paper more than five feet In length. Five years ago, when Michael Clynes dlsd, a search of his effects revealed a memorandum book on every alternate page of which was written: "I give to my son, Joseph f.

uiynes, an the money that I Have His father Michael Clynes." RIGHT WAT SIMPLE. Although this was written doiens of times, only ons entry bore a complete date, barely saving the estate for the son. There are dozens of oases of wills being found on scraps of paper, on the backs of envelopes, and on garments. There would be much money saved from litigation li people only knew what a simple matter It la to write a valid will. Heaven alone knows In how many cases the person for wnom tne property was Intended never se.es It, merely because the donor was not careful." V.

And the same thing 1 true ef policemen, says Captain Thorvald Brown, commanding officer of the Eastern Police division, in a message to Eastbay parents requesting them to drop the obsolete plan of frightening children Into obedience by threatening to call a "cop. Practically every man under him, Captain Brown says, when he goes home and takes oft his badge of authority Is nothing more nor less than the father of from one to five children himself. Could anything be more ridiculous than using him for a bugaboo? When Captain Brown was asked about the attitude of his officers toward children he laughed and said, "Why, my officers have fre quently brought in lost infants, ana given them baths to find out What color they Were before It was pos sible to make out a report.

In my district alone the policemen are talcing care of about 16,920 school children, and 19,000 not yet old enough to go to school. Where are the parents that can boast of a family like that? "The policeman Is the small boy's friend. Indirectly every traf fic ordinance that we enforce is protecting the life of the child more than anyone else, and every officer on the beat knows that one of his most Important duties Is to watch the dangerous crossings in vi cinity of schools.

'Many fathsrs have brought their children to me asking that I frighten them into being good. I don't like that.
