No. 52. it I TREND OF TO CRIME HELD (E Chicago Prosecutor Warns Vigorous Leadership Is Needed Calls for Aid by Parents and Society By Thomas 1. Courtney (Cook County State's Attorney) (Copyright. 1937. by United Pre) CHICAGO (UP) No more Impor tant problem confronts us today than the serious problem of youth In crime. The coat of crime In the United States has reached gigantic figures In dollars, if we attempt to com pute the cost In human values. In the wreckage of lives. In innocent .Tlctlms, in the blighted future of felons. In human material loot and wasted, we will find It Impossible to state the cost to the Individual, to the family or to society. A tragic development of our day Is reflected , in the fact that more than half the Inmates of reforma tories and prisons are between the ages of 15 and 25. Dividing our prison population into two-year age groups, the largest of all Is that of young men and women 19 to 20. On the calloused professional criminal on trial In the criminal court, none would waste sympathy. A different reaction oocurs to the picture, sorrowful and pitiful, of the youthful offender at the bar of justiceto the tragic scenes of boys and glrla who go through my offlos as state's attorney every day In the criminal court building of SATURDAY SPECIALS Jelly Donuts Fine, tasty Raspberry Jelly filled.

Distributor! To Auction Ship Buried With Riches Since 1 790 PARIS (UP) The armed brig Telemaque, which sank 150 years ago In the Seine estuary, allegedly with 25,000,00 worth of treasures aboard, Is to be put up at auction. That decision was taken by the French government following repeat ed demands to search for what Is considered to be the most valuable wreck lost at sea. The Telemaque's treasure was brought together by Louis XVI who, foreseeing the coming of the French revolution, had nearly all of the most precious ornaments In his posesslan secretly embarked on the brig. The treasure Is supposed to in clude Marie Antoinette's famous 8. 000.000 necklace and tl2.000.000 In gold out of Louis VXI's personal for tune. It also Includes sacred orna ments which were assembled in the Rouen cathedral and stiver objects of the abbeys of Jumleges and Saint Martin de Boscliervlle. On Jan. 1, 1790. Adrien Quentln, the Telemaque's captain, was offered a large sum of money to transport to London what he thought were barrets of tar. According to the story, he was not aware of the value of the cargo entrusted to him. He set sail at Rouen and started down the river Seine. He was obliged to tie up and Cook county to be started on their way to Jail. Calls Picture Appalling Automobile thieves, robbers, burg lars, rapists, felons, murderers, be fore they axe old enough to vote an appalling picture to contemplate. The "young punk." as the police call the youthful offender, la not only, a sad and tragic phenomenon of our time, but is such a serious problem that attention must be fo cused upon him without delay. He is a, product of the broken home, the poverty stricken family, the lack of moral training, the Indifference and selfishness of parents. He Is a product, if not a victim, of heredity and environment. The development of character In the youth of our country Is fundamental ly the responsibility of the home, the school, the church. Young criminals, the "punks,'' learn too late that the supposed glamour and romance in crime are wholly false they learn too late that there is more excitement and adven ture in clean games and sports. - - Cases Follow Pattern What happens before a boy or girl la brought Into court charged with a aerloua crime? Most of their his tories are monotonously the same. First there Is a small robbery or a misdemeanor. Nothing happens to them and they try something else, only something to give them extra pocket money. Gradually they Join others In more serious crimes. Finally, they are caught and It Is too late to save them. When they come from prison. In spite of every effort, they may be hardened crim inals. Last year 8.715 persons were com mitted to the Cook county Jail. Near ly 4,000 of these were under 30. More than 1,600 were under 21. A regret tably large percentage were between 17 and 23. - Were It possible, I would bring every third and fourth year male high school student Into court once or twice a year during the progress of a criminal trial. There would be demonstrated to them the cost of crime not in dollars and cents but in human suffering and wrecked Uvea. Answers Objections Some parents may ' rebel at the thought of their sons and daughters being potential criminals, and might be resentful If they were invited to attend criminal trials. These parents might well be confronted with crim inal statistics which disclose that Fact No. 4 The first London coffee house vas opened in 1650. The bever ge was introduced in Germany m 1670. In 1671 Parisian cof fee houses were opened The use if the beverage in coffee houses ipread rapidly throughout the Old World. Many notables fre quented these coffee houses such u Voltaire, Napoleon, Victor Hugo, Danton and Rossini. In London Daniel Defoe, whose "Robinson Crusoe" was the pre cursor of the English novel, was often seen mixing with other English notables. During the 18th century the use of coffee as a beverage had become uni versal. or Tin wait, upon arriving at the estuary, as the tide was unfavorable. At mid nightr a violent storm broke and tore the ship from Its moorings. The captain had only sufflcent time to save his life and that of his 10 sail ors. How deep the ship lies embedded In the soft sand today, Is not known. That is the risk on which the bid ders will be obliged to base their of fers. What la put up for auction Is actually a permit to search for the treasure with a condition that the state will reserve the right to one third of the value recovered. Thus far. three attempts have been made and the position of the wreck has been ascertained fairly ac curately. The first attempt was made by the government In 1818. but the wreck was not found. A second was made In 1937 by Magny, an engineer, who found the site of the wreck, but only succeeded in refloating a few boards, spending (16,000 doing it. A third and equally unsucessful at tempt was made a few years ago. In 1935. a salvage firm asked for per mission to work on the wreck. This request, however, led to others, and to be fair the authorises decided to auction the salvage rights. The bid ding Is scheduled to take place some time in June. many criminals come from good homes homes where they have had the advantages of loving parental care, comfort, education and ample spending money. We have demonstrated In Chicago that the predatory youthful gangs can be broken up; and that the "Fagins" who would teach our youth the steps In crime oan be Jailed where they cannot carry on their nefarious activities. I am firmly of the opinion that with the vigorous leadership of our law enforcing officials, plua the co operation of a citizenry aroused to the seriousness of this problem, the crimes of youth can be minimized and the "young punk" eliminated.

Today's maneuver was the second phase of the corps area commander's inspection and the finale of a month long intensive training for all troops of the division.
