BEACH-COMBINU.
TREASURES WASHED UP BY
THE SEA...
To most people, suys a writer in the Statesman, beachcoming is synenomous with loafing. But combing the beach for a living is the most curiously fascinat- ing way of scraping a livelihood I have known in 50 years, of a roving lite spent in queer places the world over.
It is treasure hunting with the lid off. I had a year of it on the Atlantic coast of New Jersey, but I know men who have been at it for years and will be "beachcombers till they die. And a few of them have done pretty well at it, too. You go out at low tide in trousers and a shirt. or merely a bathing dress. The sole implement of your trade is a sloot, piece of timber with a #attened end. As you walk the wet sand you look for buried treasure, the clue being
of sandi.
M
ridge
That little ridge means nothing to the inexperienced ere." Indeed; the tender- foot even may not be able to see the ridge at all, it can be so small. But to the beachcomber's lynx glance it spell's a for eign object that the sea has washed up. Each successive little wave has eucounter- ed its resistance on the strand. And so the little sand ridge that betrays its presence is formed,
The first day I trudged the sand it seemed to me a game more hopeless than seeking the proverbial needle in the haystack. The second day I was dis heartened. The third day, depressed to the depths, idly followed a ridge to its end, dug with my stick--and turned up a jewelled Spanish comb.
From what pretty woman's head. on what ship, at what hour, in what circum stances, had the pretty trifle fallen? It seemed to me the most romantic thing in the world. But then I recollected that I hadn't had a square meal for a week. I went back to town and sold it for fifty dollary.
A few days later I probed a likely look. ing ridge and found a set of false teeth. I got five dollars for those, and that wasn't half the value of the gold in them.
Then 1 bad an empty ten days. Nothing but a sailor's jack knife with broken blade and a French meda! that I thought was silver which turned out to be only tin. Spectacles, books," keys, scissors, watches, chains, rings, bottles by the score, woman's belt with silver buckle-these are some of buried in the sand, sometimes half an the things the sea has thrown up and inch deep, sometimes three inches. And these lost treasures kept me from ataLT- ving on a strange shores
F
Other benchcombers thought me lucky. I have a flair for sensing the full ridges. And then I was industrious. But there was an 50-year old man some miles fur- ther along the coast who bad three finds to my one. But then he had spent a End of December lifetime on bis beach and knew shore and sea, tide and wind, as a mother knows the moods of her child.

FEWER YOUNG OFFENDERS. VIRTUE OF PLAYING-FIELDS.
A gratifying decrease in the number of children brought before the juvenile Courts is recorded in the second report on the work of the Children's Branch of the Home Office. The number of offen- ders under 16, which increased from 30.253 in 1921 to 31,056 in 1902, last year fell to 28,773. When it is remembered (says the report) that the number rose in 1817 to 31,523 the high-water mark-that since that year there has been a fairly steady decrease in spite of widespread unemployment, and that last year's figure is well below the pre-war figure of 26,920 in 1914. the view proclaimed by some pessimists that children are not as good "as they used, to be hardly tenable.
Dealing with the juvenile delinquent, it is no longer the object of the Court to vindicate the majesty of the law, but to help to reform the culprit, and super- vision is advocated as more helpful than the imposition of a fine. The birch has its uses, but recent investigation has ten- ded to show that it is not usually an effective deterrent. Experience has shown that the two most hopeful methods are probation and residential schools. Probation is being used in an increasing
measure.
It may be said that it would be wiser to remove the causes of juvenile delin- quency than to elaborate methods of sure. This opens up a wide question, but any measure which can be taken to improve the housing conditions of the working classes and to affurd better facilities for recreation of young people,
the open Lidly lighten the labour of
the Courts More and more playing- fields and cheap means of reaching them are needs which are always with us. A great deal has been done in recreation in the big towns by the organisation of clubs for boys and girls. The Evening Play Centres are doing valuable work for London children.

It is a country that merita tha sitention of those Europeans who,can- template"lexving the Far Ea." they are retiring an pension, there are many pleasant South Africah towns' in which to live. "Or they seak a career, and have a moderais capital thers in scope in South African farm- ing—for instance in fruit-growing.
The climate is good." It is Bunny but temperate being neither inclement in winter nor, oppressive in summer. It is a genial climate in which Euro- pasna, including women and children, thrive without periodically going abroad.
Educational facilities for the young are excellent. The larger towns are up-to-date and well-equipped Thera
are numerous reaorta-mountain, river and marina, for an aceasional change,

Education authorities throughtout the country are becoming alive to the importance of the recreative side of their work, and it is not unusual for them to provide summer campa for children who would not otherwise get the benefit of a few days in the country. The police. too, often show a ready sympathy with the temptations which "confront young people thrown on their own resources, and sometimes they take an active share in providing the remedy, as at Norwich, where the chief constable and members of his force have established a splendid |: club, to which hundreds of lads, drifting into idleness and bad company, have been welcomed and taught to box and play games?!
