from day to day so that they could
emerge from the jungles and mo
rasses of life into the path of good
citizenship along which every boy,
down deep in his heart, wishes to
travel.
There is no denying the fact that
something must be done to curb
reckless drivers, particularly
drunken drivers, But in the case
mentioned by Judge Knott, the boy
had demonstrated for some twenty
months that he was able to drive
safely and sanely and that his every
act and every deed showed a true
repentant spirit and a desire to
atone for his shortcoming, The
judge who passed final sentence on
the lad thoughs more of the as it
is written rather fhan interpreting
it in a humane way.
SAD CASE
“The case of boy No. 68 is no
only interesting but pathetic,”
‘Jndxe Knott continued. “He was
charged in my court with petit lar
cency and was to come up for trial
on a Tuesday. Monday morning a
delicate, under-nourished young
woman called on me in my cham
bers. She was the wife of Boy No.
58,
“‘Alfred and 1 were married last
July,” she said. ‘He was 21 and I
was 20, He had been living with his
father who was on relief, My folks
are back East, also oa relief, and |
had been working for a family for
my board.
“‘We didn’t want to live with
Alfred’'s father, so we rented a
housekeeping room for $2 a week.
Alfred worked at odd jobs, taking
anything he coula get, and for a
time we managed to get along, al
‘though we never did have enough
to eat,
“‘There came a week when he
couldn't find any work. There
wasn't a thing in the house to eat
80 we applied for relief and
‘were turned down. There wasn't a
lnoul to whom we could turn so, in
desperation, Alfred stole 35 cents
‘and bought some food.
- “‘He isn’t a thiet, Judge, or crim
inal, but we HAD to have food. 'He
has been good to me and we have
been very happy together, even
though we never had enough to eat.
He would work at anything, so long
as it meant money for us. Won't
you release him, Judge, and let me
take him home, PLEASE!""
Judgeé Kaott learned that the girl
wife was an expectant mother and
that she had nothing at all to eat
that morning. He arranged for food
for several meals and told her to
come back the next morniag and
that maybe he would let Alfred go
home with her.
When the boy appeared in court
the next morning, his story con
firmed that told to the Judge by the
girl-wife. Alfred had stolen 35c¢ in
order that the two of them might
have at least ONE meal.
CASE CONTINUED
The case was coatinued and the
lad released with the understanding
that he report to Judge Knott once
each week until further notice. The
following Saturday, he and his wife
reported. Having no carfare, they
had walked over two miles to keep
faith with the maa who had faith
in them.
"During the week, Afred had
earned $3 at odd jobs. Two dollars
of that went for rent, the other for
food. There wasn’t a penny left and
‘nothlng to eat at.home except three
potatoes. But they were happy
‘when they left the Judge's cham
‘bers. He saw to it that they would
not go hungry over the week-end.
The following Saturday the boy
again appeared and reported that he
had been slightly more successful,
earning $56 that week. Two days
later, however, he bustled in, out
of breath and highly excited.
“Hello, Alfred,” the Judge said.
“What are you doing up here to
day?”
“I've got a job, Judge! I've got
a job!” he shouted,
“He was so happy over the pros
pects that he had to tell me the
first thing,” the Judge explained.
“He had been promised steady

work in one of the smatler manu
facturing plaas. He didn't even
know what salary he was o gel
All he knew, or cared about, was
that he had a job.”
“On Saturday, he telephoned Lhat
he couldn’t get in that moruing but
would be in when he gol througu
work that evening. I waited for him
because | wanted to learn aboul
his new work and how much he
was making. |
HAPPY BOY |
“Shortly after four-thurty he ap
peared, tace illumined with joy and
a happy note in his voice. He has

dollars jingled in his pocket, That
was a young fortune for him.
“‘How much do I owe you for
that food, judge?’ he asked. ‘l'm

All this happeaed last January.
The boy and his wife are now living
in a small home in West Seattle,
He is working steadily and making
good on the job. He is looking for
ward to the future, happy in the
thought that he can now provide a
home and sufficient feod for his
wife and the young son (hé hopes)
that will soon arrive.
“That boy isn't, and wasn't, a
criminal,” Judge Knott declared.
“Not oae of my boys has criminal
tendencies. They committed no
graver crimes than did practically
every grown man in Seattle when
he was between 15 and 20 years
old.
“All those boys need, all thou
sands of them need, is someone
to ‘throw out the life line’ before
it is too late, before they are
engulfed in the Sea of Crime from
which redemption seems impos
sible,” he concluded.
Historical Drama
To Be Re-enacted
by Boy Scouts
Just as American patriots many
years ago staged the Boston Tea
Party, so will Boy Scout troops of
Seattle reenact the historical drama
on the placid waters of Hall’'s Lake,
just north of the ecity limits, as
part of the Fourth of July celebra
tion and pageant,
Originally planned for Vasa Park
on Lake Sammamish, the pageant
was moved closer to Seattle by
popular demand. It is sponsored by
University Post No, 11, American
Legion, and is a division of the
Americanism program planned by
the Legion for that day.
Boy Scout troops throughout the
city are entering into the spirit of
the occasion with much enthus
iasm,” according to Pageant Direct
or Merrill P. Hart. “We received
80 many requests to move closer to
Seattle that we substituted the
Hall's Lake site for that at Vasa
Park.
| EASILY REACHED
~ “The lake,” he said, “is but a few
‘miles north of Seattle, oa the Ever
ett Highway, It is easily reached
by Seattle and Everett people either
by automobile or by the Everett
interurban direct to the grounds.”
In the meantime, twenty Scout‘
troops are planning on entering the
contest. There will be three prize
awards, The troop winning first
place will be given a week’s camp
ing trip in the San Juan Islands. A
two-day trip to Victoria goes to the
‘troop taking second honors, while
third place winners will be given
a two-day trip to Mount Rainier and
Paradise Valley, Other competing
troops in the contest will also be
given two-day camping trips.
Cooperating with Director Hart
and the Legionaires in making the
event a huge success is Stuart P,
Walsh, chief scout executive of the
Seattle Area Council.
The road leading to Easy street
is littered with the trimmed re.
mains of easy marks.

THE VETERANS' REVIEW
Noted Head of Women's Overseas
League Visits Seattle Chapter
Anna Daniell, national vice-president of the Women's Overseas Ser
vice League, 9th Corps Area, recently visited Seattle on an inspection
tour of coast units of the organizatjon.
There are ten units in the Sth Corps Area, and Miss Daniell, a teacher
of mathematics at mmhu'ty:‘ Sohool in Long Beach, California, used
her spring vacation to visit groups in San Francisco, San Jose,
Oakland, Portland and Seattle, She | ——— e e
will cover the southera units during
week end trips in the near future
The purpose of her visit was to
arouse enthusiasm among members
of the Overseas Service League in
the gigantic task of compiling a
roster of all women who served
overseas from August 1, 1914 to
Jaauary 1, 1920, regardless of
whether or not they are members of
the league. Overseas women are
asked to register, so that leigue
members may carry out their motto
of “service to ex-service women",
That service may be merely extéend- |
ing a friendly, sympathetic hlnd,?
or it may mean the saving of a life,
but whichever it is, they will do, |
Miss Daniell said.
When the United States entered
the World War, Anna Daniell was
a schoolteacher in West Point High
School, Nebraska. She knew noth
ing about nursing but, waating to
do her bit, entered training in New
York. Training over, she was sent
to Paris with the Y. M. C. A. aad
other welfare workers in July 1918,
Assignments were handled from the
Paris office and Miss Daniell ‘was
detailed as a canteen worker with
the 16th Engineers, and stationed
in the city hall of Ambares, France.
The 308th Ammunition Train was
also stationed in Ambares for a
time.
The duties of a canteen worker
were many and varied. Coffee and
cocoa were prepared In twenty
gallon cans and sandwiches, dough
nuts and cookies were made each
night after the evening meal was
served.
LONG HOURS .
We served an average of 600 to
700 men daily, although we served
many more than that when troops
were enroute to and returning from
the front lines,” Miss Daniell said.
“I was up by five o'clock in the
morning, setting out cups and get
ting things started, and rarely fin
ished before eleven or twelve
o’clock at night.”
On her first assignnieat, she was
billeted in a French peasant heme
where people were quartered on
one side of the hall and live stock
on the other. Despite the long hours
worked, she fouad time to learn
the French language. After work
each evening, she read French news
}papera aloud, and the French house
wife would correm her proauncia
-Ito speak English.
Later, Miss Daniell served in the
burned area near Pontenx, travel
ing up the line twice each week on
hand-powered cars to serve the col
ored troops engaged in salvage and
reforestation work in that area. She
also served with the 201st Refrig
erating Plant Company at Bassens.
Nurses and capteen workers were
entitled to a week's leave every six
months, but Miss Daniell was fore
ed to forego hers, because there

was no oae available for her place
at the canteen during her absence.
However, in July, 1919, just prior
to her return to the United States,
she took a week off and visited
the battlefields of France and Bel
gium,
She sailed from Brest on a ship
with 5,000 troops aboard, 175 army
nurses and welfare workers and
150 officers.
Upon her return, Miss Daniell
speat a year and a half in the tab
ulating department of the Census
|Bureau at Washington, D. C. Her
work finished there, she moved to
Long Beach, California.
HUGE CEMETERY
She attended the coavention of
the Women’s Overseas League held
in Paris in 1930. “France has the
appearance of a huge cemetery.”
she said, while discussing her trip.
“Graveyards are everywhere. The
French, English, [talian and Amer
ican ones are well cared for but
the German burial grounds are not
)ns well preserved, It is hard to
believe that war is really talked of
again over there, especially so soon
after the close of the last one,” she
declared.
Miss Daniell served one term as
president of the Long Beach Unit of
‘the Women’s Overseas League, and
‘was national patriotic chairman for
two years. It was during her ad
ministration that the organization
had its first annual coast-to-coast
radio broadcast. At the 1935 nation
al convextion held in Glacier Nat
ional Park she was elected to her
present otfice of npational vice
president for two years, during that |
time she hopes to again visit Seattle
and other northera cities.
“I love the North,” she said, her
blue eyes sparkling. “The scenery
is gorgeous, and the climate is won
derfully invigorating. |
‘ \ RENDER SERVICE
. “I am looking forward with inter
est to the 1936 national convention
Ito be held in San Antonio this
Isummer. The Texas Centennial ex
position will also be held at the
’anme time.
i Her work among disabled veter
|uns in the southern cities has con
vinced Miss Daniell that her organ
llzation should render a like service
'to the women who served “over
there.”
“We have been praised for not
asking the government for a bonus,
or pension, or some such thing. We
feel, and have felt, that Uncle Sam
has enough on his hands to take
care of without us bothering him.
Therefore we want to do all in our
power to help those women who
really are in need, And we will, too,
when our plans are perfected,” she
declared.

bride, Lucy Chandler, of Macomb,
Ulinois, whom he had married in
Seattle in 1917, Mrs. Hoar is a de
scendant of Ebenezer Towne, an
officer in the Revolutionary War,
and they have a trunk bound in
camel hide which belonged to his
wife, Lucy Bancroft Towne, Mrs.

New England states to Illinois in

Judge and Mrs. Hoar have two

John Muir School, and is eligible
to the DAR,
PROMINENT CLUBMAN
The judge is an Elk, Eagle, Mas
on, Moose and a member of the
Modern Woodmen of America. He
belongs to the College Club, the
Olympic Breakfast Club and from
1923 to 1934 was secretary of the
Young Men's Republican Club. He
belongs to Seattle Post No. 1, Am
erican Legion.
He enjoys tennis and fishing, es
pecially salt water fishing. Whether
judicial dignity has gotten the bet
ter of the devilment that possesed
him when he was going to school,
is a matter of conjecture, Person
ally, we think not. That intiguing
twinkle isn’t in his eyes for nothing.
THE EDITOR SPEAKS
Judge Hoar first went on the
bench in 1920, He has been re
elected four times. Somehow, his
friends say, the office would seem
empty without him and a strange
face occupying his place on the
bench would be a sacrilege, He
has many qualities to command
attention and interest. He is a
lawyer of marked ability and a
jurist whose rulings are unerring
ly correct and fair to both sides.
Seldom have his decisions arous
ed adverse criticism and few have
been his reversals in higher
courts,
“Bill” Hoar is universally well
liked and admired for his fairness
and impartiality, He is never too
busy to talk to a friend or too
tired to offer a helping hand to
one in distress. His charities are
many and varied, but he stead
fastly refuses to discuss them. His
associates regard him as an able
jurist and respect his opinions.
To his intimates, Judge Hoar is
a ‘“good scout.” And that, in the
lexicon of those who understand
the many and varied phases of
life, is the ultimate in praise.
