BEACH-COMBING..

TREASURES WASHED UP BY THE SEA.

To most people, saga a writer in the Statesman, beachcoming is synonomous. with loafing. But combing the beach for a living is the most curiously fascinat ing way of scraping a livelihood I have. known in 20 years of a roving life spent- in queer places the world over.

19

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 5-foot piece of timber with a flattened end. As you walk the wet sand you look for buried trenstire, the clue being a ridge

of sand.

"..

That little ridge means nothing to the inexperienced eye. Indeed, the tender- foot even may dot be able to see the ridge ht. all it can be so small. Bat to the beachcomber's "Isny glance it spells a for eign object that the sea has washed up. Each successive little wave has encounter 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 ou 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 dollars.

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 I had an empty ten days. Nothing but a sailor's jack-knife with a broken blade and a French medal that I thought was silver which turned out to be only tin. Spectacles, books,, keys, scissors, watches, chains. rings, bottles by the score, 1 woman's best with a 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 star- ving on a strange shore.

Other beachcombers thought me lucky 1 have a flair for sensing the full ridges. And then I was industrious. But there was an 80-year old man some miles fur- ther along the coast who had three finds to my one. But then he had spent a End of December lifetime on his 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 1917 to $1,523--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 ia well below the pre-war figure of 36,929-

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 eure. This opens up a wide question, but any measure which can be taken to improve the housing conditions of the working classes and to afford better facilities for the open-air recreation of young people, will undoubtedly lighter 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.

"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 camps for children who would not otherwise get the benefit of a few days in the country. The police, too, often show 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 bjuta ārieners and made cum lock skále vámp welcomed and taught to box and play games?'”
