Con naughton, who is assisting him in his efforts to have a detention home in this county. Judge Palmer's talk was one of the most interesting ever listened to by the central body delegates arrl stirred up much enthusiasm for the project'. On motion of Secretary Stanley Ogg the following- committee was named to co-operate with committees of oth er organizations to map out a con structive prograift to be followed: Herman Perpingon, Edward Sims, & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & Jfl.UU $3.40 & & $3.75 & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & THE Stanley Ogg, Charles ^Baylies and 'Jack Scheaf. s Following is tftjp address o£ ^odge Palmer in full: "I am glad to speak to the labor council," Judge Palmer said, "because I know that when anyone wants any thing, he goes to the persons who Have a record for doing things. "Juvenile Court is not' a criminal Court,'' he said, "but rather a Court of salvation for the redemption of children, that they may be put on the right path after one foot has started in the wrong direction." Judge Palmer voiced the need of a school which will do for boys what the Hamilton Training School ift do ing for girls. v •, Not Pretentious "It need not be a pretentious build Igfi," Jud£e Palmer said. "Some mod est residence such as you have here will suffice. Put in charge some sensible man and woman. Then when the children come to us we shall find out as much about them as we can after which we will put them in charge of the superintendent and the matrom "I want to be able to com down here and pick out somebody who knows how the case ought to be handled. Pick out a man and intro duce him to the boy. Give him 'he boy's record. Show him where the boy has lacked opportunity. In other words I want to parole him to you. "Advise him like his own parents ought to do and did not do. Know where he spends his nights, with whom Tie keeps company, whether he is in school when he ought to be there. "When he has his little troubles let him come to you to ask you what he should do. Guardianship "Put yourself into a position that when the occasion arises you can stand up to it like a man. This coun cil should be able to furnish all the men to assume the guardianship and control of as many boys as the court sees fit to allot to you. "All this/'Judge Palmer said, "after we get the detention home which is so necessary and whibh I am sure we are going to get. "The boy should have all of the privileges to which he is entitled to and must have to become a law-abid ing citizen of the commurftty. "This is our opinion. The law is ample. The County Commissioners have the authority to provide such a home. Tp be fair to the commis sioners, they are friendly to the thought they think it is a big thing but that stone wall comes up, the money with which to provide the home. "You men ought not be expected to go down into your pockets. Neither should I be expected to. You all pay your taxes. Some Way Open "The detention home is as i^ces sary as the building of a briage or the paving of a road. There is no need for paved roads unless you've got good law-abiding citizens. Worlds and worlds of money are spent in Butler County for bridges and roads which are no more necessary than what I am asking you to help me get. "I have no method to suggest" Judge Palmer continued, "except that when public officials are urged by committees of various organizations to provide these things, some way is found to provide the funds. Judge Palmer has addressed the Optimist club, the Rotary club and a number of church organizations, all of which have appointed committees to push the project. He urged co-op eration of the various committees, in the interest of the detention home. "I hope this organization the men it represents," Judge Palmer said, "will co-operate to get the necessary place so that the court can answer at le.ist to some degree the ptm.ose for which is was found. Easiest Way "The easiest way for the Court would be to send the boy to Lan caster. That school has done as well as a school of that type can do, but BUTLER COUNT* it has been my experience that when: a boy leaves that institution and re turns to his parents, he comes back! worse than he goes. I do not know that it is the fault of the school. "The boy there does not have that, personal individual touch which is necessary after he gets started in the wrong direction, "Nine put of ten boys who corie^ before the court and four out of five, who go to Lancaster, if they had the advice and attention which they should have from the proper ntani could be reclaimed to lives of useful-? ness to society. When we do that' yve are fulfilling to some extent jurj duty to society. ''We have n6t fulfilled ou~ 'utyf when we have paid out taxes. We are not doing anything toward society! We are not reclaiming juveniles. Itl is an individual problem and one which the state cannot hope to cope^ with, without the help of men lik$ you and the ones you represent. Helping the Boys "Men will do it. Men are doing it in Hamilton today. I have boys irf Hamilton, paroled to Hamilton citi-* :ens. They are responsible for these boys u(ho otherwise would be in Lancaster. I have placed only three or four. The experience is young but from what I can see, it is not only :loing the boys good, but every man who assumed such a duty, is getting more good out of the experiment than the boy. It is not a selfish duty. "I guarantiee that if you take on this obligation, while you will do the boy a world of good, you will your telf twice as much good. I promise that will be your reward. It is a big thing to ask of you. We cannot do it -ilone. We can do it with your ,he|p."

By MILDRED MARSHALL Facts about your nam* Its history meaning whence it was derived sig nificance your lucky day, lucky jewel Anniversary of the Death of Sam 7 Gompers s By WILLIAM GREENF 4 President American Federation of Labor Just before daybreak December 13, 1924, the news was flashed throughout the world that Samuel Gompers, president of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, had passed away. The sorrow was universal. The wage earnei-s had lost a loving, conscientious leader, the nation a great statesman and the world a great soul. On the first anniversary of his death the love for Samuel Gomperi and the respect for his teachings are as great as ever. He was a man who frowned upon all efforts to create classes or castes he was a true seeker for the brotherhood of man. His vision was surpassing great. As a boy of fourteen he became a leader in thought and principles that afterward made the American.labor movement so successful. As he looked forward every day to a better day and a still better day for the wage earners let us follow his example. Let his spirit guide us as he would have guided us. UNA Tis It was an eventful life that passed when Samuel Gompers died. For sixty years or more he had only one thought, one ambition— to help in the advancement of his fellowmen. Words are inadequate to express the love and veneration held for l|im in life and now in memory. Let us make his ambition our ambition. Let us hew to the line as he hewed to the line, so that in time his vision will become a realijty. HOUGH not in general usage, Una one of the most interesting of feminine names. It means "famine," according to etymologists, though the great and only Spenser who brought the name into fashion rejected this interpretation. It is typically an Irish name and since It resembles ''one," Spenser gave the title of Una to his lovely personation of the one truth, the one true undivided church, the guide tf the Red Cruss Knight. Una is queen of the fairies in the loamy onnond, in which she ap pears in one version of the story of the soldier billeted on a miser. The man was amazed at his hospitable re ception and entertainment as he thought by the avaricious squire, until morning disclosed the fact that Una had raised the mansion and provided the supper. Una is much in use today among the Irish peasantry. It is often pro nounced Oonagh and has been Angli cized as Winny. The pearl is Una's tallsmanie gem. it is the emblem of purity, popularity and affability. She whw wears it wil1 have many friends and admirer?
