They need a little looking after, just like other boys. There is a curfew ordinance and they are supposed to be the streets by eight unless they have business or are accompa- nied by an older person. The marshal is making an effort to enforce this ordinance and some of the boys who insist in staying out after hours stand and excellent chance of run- ning foul of him. Considerable mischief has been done by boys this sum- mer, come of it involving quite a fi nancial loss. A favorite pas- time seems to be heaving rocks through windows and this is rather expensive. It is to be hoped that some of this sort of mischief can be stopped.
