(UP) Proposals for a complete change In the admin istration of criminal law in the United States, putting all the courts on a basis exactly like that of the present Juvenile courts, will be urged I on the next conference of governors I by Judge Joseph Siegeler of New I Jersey. j Judge Slegler's recommendations are based upon a personal contact ! with 11.000 juvenile cases and 18. 000 domestic relations cases. He j wants a broad extension of the prln- I clple of probation, and initial hear- 1 ings of all criminal cases In a far ; more Informal and scientific WBy j than at present. ' I The Plan "This plan." he said, "represents the greatest advance tn criminal Jurisprudence In 600 years. As far as the courts are concerned we still are In the Middle Ages In our meth ods of dealing with crime. If we continue our present system we shall Just go on building more and more Jails and prisons, at enormous ex pense, and filling them with pris oners who merely are students In crime, going there for post-graduate courses. "The success of probation in deal ing with offenders up to 16 leads to the conclusion that the same methods could be extended first to offenders up to 21. and later to all ages. The number of persons com mitted to prison would decrease by a large percentage. New Age Limit "I am suggesting the Immediate application of this plan to offend ers up to 31 years. At present the Juvenile court procedure in most states deals with delinquents only up to 16. A boy who commits an offense Just after his 16th birthday Is publicly arraigned and humiliat ed, and his name becomes public property, Just as that of a crim inal. As a result, his readjustment to lawful society becomes almost Impossible. He Is shoved straight Into the criminal class, and recla mation Is automatically blocked. My experience on the bench shows me that 90 per cent of these of fenders could be restored to useful citizenship under a more humane and scientific procedure." Phone 543 Weil nau away your refuse.

TOULOUSE, Prance (UP) De scending into an immense subter ranean labyrinth at Mas de Jouan Trlpodel. at Saillat. Department ot Lot, explorers discovered Implement left there no one knows how many centuries ago by stone age man. With them were broken pieces of pottery. The importance of this discovery to students of prehistoric man rests In the fact that thus far there haa been no evidence that the men ot the stone age knew how to make pottery. If it Is established that the fragments of earthenware vessels dat . from the same period aa tne stone tools, one more fragment will have been added to the mosaic which sa vants are patiently constructing to give us the picture of stone age life. Stone Ax. Among the finds were a massive stone ax. almond-shaped, capable of being used also as a hammer, pick, saw or weapon. Scrapers of extremely hard rock, the product of probably breaking up a large stnne and keep ing whatever fragments turned out to be of useful shape also were found. It has not yet been possible to say whether any further shaping was done after the pieces of stone were broken from the rock. With a sharp edge at one side, the scrapers widened at the other, and could be held there, without a handle. They were probably employed for remov ing the bark from tree, trunks, and skinning animals or cleaning the skins. Some of them were pointed, and probably were used for piercing wood and skins. Flint Knife. Near an ancient hearth the ex plorers found a flint knife wltn sharp cutting edges. Most Interesting, however, was the pottery, of which a large quantity of fragments was found. By assem bling the fragments, it was demon strated that many of the vases were exceedingly large. Examination showed that the composition of the clay was not always the same, and the thickness of the vessels also varied greatly. Reserve Captain Has Record. BOSTON. ( UP ) Captam.
