To'j young to think clearly or to act icily so many of our youth today depart from the path of honesty into the wilderness of crime. And then there are thoewho never do ach maturity. Roys and girls do giow up and reach mature manhood and womanhood but so many people t'e always immature and nevr do "grow up" mentally.

"So many people believe that economic conditions are almost exclusively the cause of crime. If that vere true, then we should have little crime now for the class of people furnishing the most criminals is now better eared for by a benefi-cient government dispensing with a lavish hand than in any previous time in my memory. I knew and saw real poverty in the early nineties and there was no 'Santa Claus then, even at Christmas time. If economic conditions have so much to do with crime, then why was it that all of our institutions were so crowded in the late twenties when everything was booming? "Only in the last few years has a line been drawn between those who have and those who have not. It is not possible for all to have alike of this world's goods as it is not possible for all to have the same mental ability.

The discontent and dissatisfaction so cultivated in recent years will in the end add to the crime wave in this country. "The last but not least of the causes is an anti-social attitude upon the part of so many people. So many people pity themselves and brood so much over their condition that they convince themselves that the world is against them. As a result they are against about everything. They belong to the 'share the wealth' frowd.

They believe in taking when the taking is good and sometimes they fail to share what they take. In this group belongs that great crowd of young people who crave that which they cannot buy and in a vindictive spirit they take from those who have and even destroy the comforts of others as they take by stealth or by trickery that which has been honestly earned. "Crime is certainly not decreasing. The number of arrests may be less. The number sent to jail or to other prisons may be less but there FRDIT-OF-THE-LOOM 9o 7 my 1 Mm EXTRA SIZES 39 I A I SviMy s'cd pontes, br.e!s c-d 1 ill XTRA SIZES 39 The city championship tennis doubles tournament continues at the Hazle Park courts with Eddie Deitch and Herb Rathey, of Freeland, scheduled to meet top seeded team of Frankie Serany and Izzy Laub at 2:30 o'clock.

Mental illness, emotional instability, immaturity, and an anti-social attitude were cited as four funda-mcntal'causes of delinquency by Charles Johnson, head of the Kis-Lyn Industrial School, in an address to the members of the Hazleton Rotary club at their weekly luncheon meeting at the Y.

W. C. A. today, Nat Landau, chairman of the day, presented Superintendent Johnson to the Rotarians. The text of Superintendent Johnson's speech wag as follows: "I have always considered it a privilege to be the guest of a Rotary Club.

Your organization has been so unselfish, so tolerant and so free from partisan politics that it deserves high commendation. Because of duties for which I am paid, it has been difficult for me to get here today but I am glad I could make it and have the pleasure and the privilege of mingling with you once again. "It is not becoming of me to extol the virtues of Kis-Lyn and the work don there but you will pardon me when I tell you that for twenty-seven years my life has been wrapped up in the building and maintaining of a first-class school for boys at a reasonable and moderate expense to the taxpayers. In those years out there in the valley I have seen the property develop and become more fertile and beautiful each year. I have rejoiced in the fact that 92 per cent of the more than 5000 'boys coming to us have kept out of trouble after leaving us.

Not a week passes but that some Kis-Lyn boy now a man comes to see us and frequently they bring their families with them. In he years at Kis-Lyn I have naturally made a study of the boys coming to us. I insist upon my knowing all of them. Naturally, I have formed some very pronounced opinions as to the fundamental causes of waywardness. It is about these underlying causes of delinquency I now wish to talk to you, "Among the very many such causes of crime I would place first, mental illness.

By this I do not; mean insanity. I do not mean defective mentality. I do mean that type of mental illness that keeps a person from seeing clearly and judging wisely. There are so many people with twisted brains. So many people are mentally sick so much of the time and don't know it.

The mentally sick are intolerant, they are often vindictive and t.hpv nf. ways pity themselves as they condemn their fellows. Not all mentally ill people are criminals but many criminals are mentally ill. We are likely to grow sentimental and silly over apparently irre sponsible criminals. Thousands of mentally ill people sentenced to prison for short terms should be segregated from society for life.

"The second of the causes of crime is, I believe, "Emotional Instability." There are many people who are never sure of themselves. They really cannot be trusted alone. Emotional instability is responsible for the failure of so many marriages and is responsible fcr the large number of divorces in this country. "The emotional criminal the crime in an ecstasy of mental enjoyment and then when caught sobs and whines for mercy. Many murders are committed by people who are subjects of over stimulated emotions.

Most sex crimes are committed by those young men who are emotionally unstable. When finally the murder of Margaret Martin is discovered, it will be found that he is a victim of his own emotion. As a people, we are too emotional. Yv'c get sentimental about the criminal and forget his victim. I do not believe in excusing crime.

I do not believin making a hero out of the criminal. I do not believe in exalting the thief and the murderer even though they may excuse themselves under the guise of emotionalism. "The third of the causes is Approximately 60 of the arrested criminals are yet not old enough to vote. The most dangerous criminal is the nervous, excitable dope-crazed youngster with I A.

motorist who complained to, 7. Lamont Hughes, secretary of highways, that she was unable to enjoy the scenery in the vicinity of the Delaware Water Gap because of the signs. "I have always wanted to see the Delaware Water Gap," she wrote Secretary Hughes, "and this summer took a trip there to be greeted by sign boards so large and so near together that I came away without having seen the Gap except from the back. The State of Pennsylvania is certainly short-sighted in allowing its beauties of nature to be treated in such a way. I shall probably never try to see the Water Gap again, but I do thing the Road Commission should do something about it." The Highway Department has no jurisdiction over signs except within its right-of-way.

Orders have been issued for the removal of all illegal signs within the right-of-way of the department and thousands already have been removed. Attended Reunion. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Bredbenner, of Spring etreet, and Mr.

Audiences Won By "Our Town" Margaret Owens Presents Outstanding Characterization in Grove Play.

Viewing Thorton Wilder's "Our Town" given an excellent production by Royal Stout's players at the Grove Theatre in Nuangola this week, it is easy to understand why this charming play won the Pulitzer prize as the most distinguished American play of last season. It pictures the finest most typical phase of American life at the turn of the century; and it uses a surprisingly pleasing and novel form of presentation, minus virtually all scenery. It wins its audiences as completely as any play of the season. Fine acting work by the large cast adds to the charm of the play itself. Margaret Owens, given her best acting opportunity of the sea son as the girlish Emily Webb, gives an inspired performance that reaches the heights in the beautifully-con ceived third act.

Mr. Stout seems to hit just the right note as the philo sophical stage manager who presents the scenes of New Hampshire life to the audience; while Mac-Gregor Gibb, Mrs. Stout, Judith Car- gill, George Calvert, Helen Harmen, Frederick Olmsted, Larry Weber, and Dick Brennan turn in other especially good portrayals. The show for next week, the last of the season, will be the daring "Primrose Path," which is strictly adult entertainment. William E.

Best Loading For Summer. The Lehigh Valley Railroad reported that 409 open cars and 25 box cars, a total of 434 cars were loaded yesterday, eight per cent above winter average levels and the best loading for the summer at the mines the company serves on this Dranch. Last night 332 open cars and 25 box cars, a total of 357 cars were shipped to market. Minos working today are Cranberry, Coal-Rain, Silver Brook, Shaft, Hazle Brook, Highland 5, Jeddo 7, Jonathan, Ashland, Mid Valley, Raven Run, Delano, Jetnesville and is more crime than ever before. If this is not true then why do we so carefully lock our doors at night? Why do we always remember to bring the clothes off the line at dark and lock our automobiles? If crime is decreasing, why do mothers worry when their daughters are out of their sight? If crime is decreasing, how does it happen that in this land of ours there will be 14,000 murders this year? If crime is decreasing, why is it that in our largest city there is an arreet every six hours day and night for some kind of rex crime? If crime decreasing, why do we then use the armored truck, the machine gun and the tear gas to protect money in transit? A gen eration ago coal company payrolls were taken on street cars by two or three clerks.

"I have no advice to give to you other than to ask you to be hard-boiled in insisting that the wrong doer shall have the responsibility of his conduct placed squarely upon him. I am opposed to coddling and pampering delinquent boys and helping them to find a peg upon wnich to hang their excuses. "Any success we have had at Kis-Lyn has been because the first lesson taught delinquent boys coming to us is their own personal respan-sibility for the things they have done. There can be no change of character until there is a recognition of one's own burden and responsibility." Went To Fair. Mrs.

A goal that does not seem so distant is more attractive to young peoe. A youngster wants to get that bicycle, take that trip to camp, pay for his musical instrument, or achieve some purpose close at hand, before planning for bigger things later in life.
