Petty larceny among young children in the city has broken out quite extensively of late. Welfare Worker W.E. Stanley urgently requests parents to keep tab on their children, and if possible nip this evil in the bud. Wednesday and Thursday he had no less than nine boys before him for little thefts, such as balls, jews-harps, knives and such things, taken from the Woolworth store. There was one boy seven years old, and two eight year olds, two nine years old, and two 13 years old. Just what will be done in their cases has not yet been determined.
