Winding Up Estates .Collingwood Bulletin: The winding up of estates is a great business. It maybe done in a month, but more often it takes months. It may be done for a few dollars, and it may. not; more often not. ' This week, in I connection with one in which we were - unfortunately interested, we received a notice that a_ nal dividend sheet had been prepared and that the trus. tee would apply for a _release from further obligation. It was one of the - prolonged cases, in fact it is so long ent had been written into history and was `forgotten. The notice revives an interest in the cost of winding up. The` proceeds of the estate were slightly in excess of $1700, while the disbursements in connection there- with were slightly under $1300. In other_ words, eighty per cent. was swallowed up in expenses to divide the remaining few hundred dollars. The point is not that the trustee or 11 someone else in particular got too ,5` much.` It is that the `-total cost of 1* closing estates -is far out of propor- W tion to the ordinary, every-day busi- ti ,ness transaction.` The newlaw has w mark 'I'nnH-Ara nvnn nn.-.... _.._._.._..._v' w-sun `I "Elmira-Signet: Elmira women ere now spending money on` spring togs; but,- husbands, cheer up, as these calls only come in spring, summer, fall and winter.

Anyone who is conversa_nt`with the ! work ofthe juvenile court overvwhich 3 Judge Mott presides must realize the immense Value of such methods in dealing with deli-nquent children. Last year 2298 children iwereydealt with in Judge M_ott s court, yet of this large number it was found neces- sary to send only 24 boys ;_1nd.5 girls I to industrial schools. `The girls. of course, make a much better showing than theboys. Qif the 2298 before the Torontd court. only 142 were ,`girls, and of these only 3 for-sexual immorality; 34 for theft, 36 for vag- rancy, 40 for truancy made up the '_ bulk of their offences. But all of these had got so far out of the par- ental control as to require the inter- vention of the police. Theft cases were themost numerous and their _' preponderance was attributed to un~ ` employment and consequent want , ' A large percentage of first offenders ' are warned and allowed to go on pro- hation. The result has justied this } plan of dealing with crime. Only 13.5 of cases before the court last year were repeaters, up for a second time. Of these 131 were boys and only 4`girls. 22 boys appeared three timesibut no girl more than twice. In addition to the children dealt with ` in court, there are many cases where parents take`*their wayward children to Judge Mott,.who by his kindly ad- vice and wise counsel to both parents andchildren directs the erring feet into proper paths. The value of the work of a juvenile court under a man like Judge Mott is incalculable. The benet of such methods should not be confined in Ontario to sixteen or sev-_ enteen' large cities. Provision for similar work on a modified scale should be made in every large town in the nrnvivmn ' -.lPrais'e7 of Earl, Rowe, 'M.I{._P., for - t voting -against .the"4.4 per` cent. beer 3 seems to`Vhave`been7,a,- little prema- ; ture.
