Dellquen-c- y like crime Is not assignable to any single or universal source, but arises from a multiple of causes, yet often It Is the case that a sin-sincircumstances will stand out as the dominant and most real factor. Although there are a great num-br- e of cause for delinquency, yet It is possible to list those more frequently found and that are more or less common. The cause or causes may be found In the child himself. The child may be physically or mentally defective of both. Any number of dellquent cases can be connected wholly with this cause Health officers maintain that criminals are mentally and physically ill. In such cases where the child is physlcaly and mentally defective, he is unabe to meet the requlrments imposed, he becomes cut of place and out of harmony and Is classes a delinquent. The child may be emotionally and morally defective or unable to right from wrong, or being unable to make the distinction, has little control over the instincts as are concerned with sex, angr, pugnacity, fear, grief, Joy.play etc. that he cannot control himself and make the necessary adjustment. A child may be abnormal In one way or another not necessarily defective, but so much different from the group that he cannot fit in or meet the requlrments of the group. Such a child has appetites and desires that are different and often antagonistic, often harmful to self and associates. This condition arises entirely out of living conditions found in the home. A child may be normal mentally and morSuch a child ally, yet ignorant. after performs acts that lead him into deliquency, never realizing or knowing that he is doing wrong. The cause or causes may be found In the enviornment in which the child lives. In this connection, the fault may be within the home. The construction design and physical makeup of the house in which he lives, as well as in the neighborhood and the surounding locality may so stimulate the child as to produce a mental or emotional condition that would have him act in a negative manner. It is certain that the physical and mental condition of theparents, as well as their moral standing and attitudes, will have much to do with the conduct of the child. No child can be pleasant and happy who is daily steeped In the foul sour atmosphere of ill will and domestic trouble. Many deliquents come from disrupted homes where the parents are divorced or one or the other is dead and the child lives with a step father or step mother, or in ge some cases where the mother is working, in all of which the child is denied parental attention. He may be fed clothed and housed well, but is derived of a father's or a mother's love, discipline, he is wilful and wayward, where he has been denied the Influences of a loving mother he Is unspmpath-tl- c and coarse. The school and church do more to keep boys and girls from becoming dellquent than is appreciated, yet In many cases the cause for deliquency can be connected dir ectly with some unsympathetic teacher or some educational system not elastic enough to meet the needs of the child or the child is compelled to conform with the system rather than the system meet the requlrments of the child, or a creed which to the child has little or no meaning and which he Is unable to understand and appreciate end much of which to him is onlp ceremony and the performance of certain rites. Each child is a problem and must be understood and to be understood, his whole life must be knowri, that his particular needs might be met. It has been the policy in the past to overdr.e competitive activity, to comercialize athletics and all comThe ciiild petitive undertakings. has been brought to a false conof value. He has been ception taught that the objective in numerous activities Is the securing of a pin, a badge a button, a cup or a pennant. His adversary has been the boy or girl who has opposed him in the competition. His success or failure has been determined by the decision that grants him an award. Rather should the boy or girl be taught that his great enemies of life are sin; ignorance, fear, hatred, and all the negative forces of life. That he succeeds when he overcomes the timidity of his own soul and expesses the idea of his own mind, and that his success is not determined by any award or special grant. That the reward of life is more life and joy and hapThat piness tha goes therewith. success is doing, and the great objective of all activity Is life. The church should teach the children who come into its organization the basic virtues of honesty, cleanliness, truthfuless, chastity, etc. This can be accomplished by teaching these virtues either directly or indirectly again depending upon the peculiar nature of the child. Dancing reports, moving picture houses and other places of entertainment often furnish stimuli that lead a boy or girl to unwholesome that the romantic and unreal of life are all that he sees and appreciates and, carried too far, he lives in the land of dreams and make believe. In answer to the question what Is the remedy, the answer is: There is no general 'panacea; the of the problem is found as-pe- spat on t mis PRAKING (OR ft WlNUfi, ANP iHN frf A HGH1 WAf.

There is del-ique- nt should not be given punishment as fits the offense but rather should he be taken care of in a manner best suited to meet the particular needs of the child, to the end that his faults may be cor- .ected, that he be restrained as quickly as possible. Our state should manifest the utmost concern for every boy and girl within its confines. For they are its greatest assets. Each deliquent child Is a problem and therefor must be given individual attention. Every possible cause of deliquency must be assidipusly investigated. With the information at hand experts, doctors psychologists, economists, psychiatrists should be availabe to diagose. Finally a judge qualified only by legal training, but because of being schooled in the life educationgrowth and development of the child, should from the facts and opinions, be required to reach conclusions and make decisions that would remove the causes, make the necessary corrections and effect the desired results. But even then the real work commences after judgement has been passed. The folowup work is really more important than the determination of what is wrong. Again there is need of probation officers who are capable men and women to see that the plan of correction is efficaciously administered. Thus the juvenile court and the juvenile court system in our state is organized to accomplish a great work of directing wayward boys and girls from devious ways to the path that take them to the heaven of life, truh and real happiness, as well as to proect and the abandoned and neg lected.

NEW MODELS GIVE VERVE TO SATIN Take a length of black satin, add to It a dash of white satin, and you have a most wearable frock. Earlj In the season there was quite a lot of satin shown, but It hasn't been worn so much through the winter. But for early spring it would not be surprising to see several models of black satin with white satin touches making a grand success. Such a black satin frock, cut on suit lines, is vastly becoming and is luxurious without being too lavish. Always an effort should be made to see that there Is a dash and a gay air to the black satin frock; otherwise It has a tendency to look heavy and set, which means, of course, that It looks old and Is Inclined to make the wearer look rather too matronly, something that ven the matron of long standing usually wants to avoid. Variation in Lines of Evening Dresses Noted An Indication of a change In lines of evening dresses Is found In the lessening fullness of skirts. Breadth at the hem is scanter. Though some dresses flare softly from the hips, flares are definitely modified. Then there are frilly notes. Large ties of are used at the neck and waist for day and evening wear.

What are some of the technical terms used in the income tax lawT A. The terms include "gross Income," "deductions," "net income," "personal exemption," "taxable net Income" and "credit for dependents." Q. Will you give examples? A. "Gross income" means Just what it says, the total of all income; the "deductions" are listed in the law and will include mainly for the aver age person, his property taxes and his church and charitable contributions. Subtract these deductions from the gross income and you get the "net Income." The "personal exemptions" are $100C for a single man, unless be is the "head of the family." Then his personal exemption is $2000. A married man living with his family has a personal exemption of $2000. Q. Will you use typical case? A. Assume you are a married man with one child. Your gross Income is $2750. Your taxes are $100 and your contributions are $150. That leaves you a net income of $2500. Now you have a personal exemption of $2000. You also have "credit for dependent" of $400. This leaves your "net taxable income" only $100. It Is on this the rate is applied. In this case the rate would be 1 per cent Q. Then the amount of tax due would be $1 plus the $1 filing fee? A. That would be true if you had no property offsets. But you get a further reduction because of the property tax you have paid. Q. Will you explain "offsets"? A. Your property tax bill was $100. You have the right to credit this of your income tax. against In this case, of the dues on your net taxable income is 33 cents. That would leave you 67 cents on your income tax, plus the $1 filing fee, or a total of $1.67. Q. But suppose the tax due on my net taxable income had been $240, how much credit would I get for my property tax? d A. the computed tax, or $80. Q. Now, If ihe tax due on the net taxable income had been $600, would 1 get the d offset? A. No. The offset cannot amount to more than the property tax paid. Your offset would be $100, leaving the tax due the state $500, plus the filing fee of $1. THE ALL WEATHER FILM i The high-spee- TO DELINQUENT LIGHT AND .

TIME LIMIT: MARCH 10 1932 The City CouncU did not desire to take SNAP JUDGMENT in diconnecting the service of Light or Water, without due notice, so it is therefore ordered, that SETTLEMENT OF DELINQUENT LIGHT AND WATER RATES must be made with the City Treasurer, on, or before MARCH 10th, 1932, otherwise, the City Electrician, and Superintendent of Waterworks, will be given instructions to disconnect delinquents who have failed to make such settlement BY ORDER: CITY COUNCIL OF NEPHI CITY Paramount Picture coming to the Venice on .Saturday next The original story appeared in novelette rorm in recent issues of Collier's Magazine. Kay Francis plays the leading role as the respectable and stylish lady who turns crook and then turns respectable posing for some dram atically tense scenes as a member of a gang of crooks. As their de coy, she represents herself as the lost mother of a wealthy lad, who will inherit a vast fortune, earn ing for herself the name of "The False Madoona." Paul Lucas apears opposite Ruth Chatterton in the role of the rom mantle doctor in Paramounts film izatlon of Phylip Barry's play, "To morrow and Tomorrow," an emot ional and highly dramatic triangle theme story.' It is the Venice Theatre's feature for three days, be ginning Sunday of this week. In enacting the role of a doctor who brings happiness in love to a young, courageous, and unconventional wife to whom marriage Is not enough, Lucas returns to work with the star and rose to talking mm lame. Lucas and Miss Chatterton make a combinaion admired by fandom, especially In romantic roles. Both being highly educated, their tern- permental qualities complement each other and contribute to their effective naturalness In roles en- volving the love element. Lucas has appeaed as Miss 's leading man In three of her biggest successes, "Anybody's woman," "The Right Tot Love' and "Unfaithful," and now for the fourth time In "Tomorow and To morrow."
