Nearly every atate In tha Union baa aatablished Juvenile Courts, but the United States has done nothing alone those lines to try boys and girls who offend against the Federal statutes. United States Dlatrlot Attorney MoCourt was puszled yesterday over this situa tion. The regular Federal Court pro cedure Is to try boys and glrla the aama as men and women, and sentence them to nrlson or parole them under sus pended sentence for the term. The case presented to District Attorney McCourt was that of Pearlle Allen, 13 years old, a quarter-breed Indian, who was caught robbing mall boxes at Klamath Falls. District Attorney Kuykendall, of Klam ath Falls, telegraphed United States Dis trict Attorney McCourt the circumstances and asked for instructions. Having no Juvenile department, Mr. McCourt tele graphed the District Attorney to try the girl in the state courts. "These Juvenile cases in the Federal Court," said Mr. MoCourt yesterday, "are hard to handle. With no Juvenile de partment, they must be tried the same as grown-ups and sentenced to prison or released on pasole under suspended sen tence. As a rule the court paroles them. When they are paroled we have no way of keeping trace of them, and the sus pended sentence holds only during the term. We have no way of hearing about them from the time they are paroled, unless they commit another offense and are brought before the court again." District Attorney Kuykendall will en deavor to send the girl to an Indian Stovewood Substituted for Guitar. "Ah kaln't make my livln' plnyin' muslo on a chunk of wood," complained William H.

Penn said that he lugged the case around for a whole day, under the UlUBlon that his musical Instrument was inside. He sus-, pected James, a fellow-frequenter of the-, "Oregon Social Club," and lodged com plaint against him. .1 CARD OF THANKS.
