Perhaps whni haa been the beat mnnb.-r on tbe high acbool lecture courae thla year or In fact, past yeara, was tbe one given Tueaday night In tbe Town Hall auditorium wben Judge Ben. B. Llndaey, judge of the Juvenile conn of Denver, Colo., gave a atirrlng address on the subject, "Why Boys He". Judge Llndsey atarted his career In 1894 when he was admitted to the bar and seven years later be became Judge ot the Juvenile court of Denver. From that time on he spent a great deal of hla lime with boys, not only looking after them but finding real cause of their wrong doings. He has succeeded In his attempts and many have endeavored to learn his method of handling boya in the criminal court. Judge Llndsey is not only known as a lecturer, but Is an author aa well and his books are widely read throughout the United States. In his lecture Tuesday night, he declared the children's falsehoods were not sins but merely reactions to the Instinct of self preservation and advised parents and teachers who were present to gain the confidence and Interest of the child in combatting the evil. "In the hands of parents and teachers who are intimately associated with the dally, lite of a child, lies the character of that child," the judge pointed ot. "Parents, who are quick to defend their children from the consequences of any evil they may do, are responsible for a great deal of the faults which develop in children." The chief fault In the present system ot dealing with delinquents Is the Idea of paying more attention to the crime than the criminal, according to Llndsey. "Self preservation is the answer to the question of 'Why Children Lie!' and the only way to combat the tendency to falsehood In children Is to gain their confidence and interest," he explained. Previous to the speaking engagement at the Town Hall, the Judge wus tendered a banquet by the Oavel club of the High School.

"With the closer relationship between production, distribution, and consumption, there apparently has a- rlsen a sensitiveness to rumors both good and bad, a sensitiveness which possibly hus been overdeveloped. "While production in certain lines hus slackened during recent months, Im ilnoss certainly Is not at a low point. It was not to be expected that production would hold t° the activity of the summer season when newly established records became so common as to cause little surprise. Rather is wus anticipated that with the fall and winter months would come a slower ami probably more enduring rate of speed. Present conditions Justify the wisdom of this fareslghtedness und at the same time they bear testimony to the underlying strength ot Industry as a whole, to the stability of our financial system, to the ability of buyers to purchase what they need, and to ihe consumptive requirements of the country in tbe face of a mln- iiiuin purchasing power from Europe.

"Smaller-lot but more frequent pur- J chasing Is much tn evidence. The) principal reason back of this policy! may be summed »P in two words—: efficient transportation. Buyers know , that they can have goods delivered, on comparatively short notice; there-, fore they put off buying longer than was customary a few years ago. Perhaps more than ever before production is being gauged by forward buying wlille forward buying. In turn, ls measured by consumptive requirements. "With the closer relationship between production, distribution, and consumption, there apparently has a- rlsen a sensitiveness to rumors both good and bad, a sensitiveness which possibly hus been overdeveloped. "While production in certain lines hus slackened during recent months, Im ilnoss certainly Is not at a low point. It was not to be expected that production would hold t° the activity of the summer season when newly established records became so common as to cause little surprise. Rather is wus anticipated that with the fall and winter months would come a slower ami probably more enduring rate of speed. Present conditions Justify the wisdom of this fareslghtedness und at the same time they bear testimony to the underlying strength ot Industry as a whole, to the stability of our financial system, to the ability of buyers to purchase what they need, and to ihe consumptive requirements of the country in tbe face of a mln- iiiuin purchasing power from Europe.
