MRS. RIPPIN GETS $5,000 POSITION Appointed Chief Probation' Officer of Philadelphia Municipal Court Announcement was made yesterday of the appointment of Mrs. Jane Deeter Uippin, formerly of this city, to the post of chief probation officer of the municipal court, Philadelphia, at a salary of $5,000 a year. Mrs. Uippin is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. j J. Newton Deeter, Walnut street, this | ! city, a sister of Dr. Kuth a Deeter, j land a granddaughter of Edmund] Mather. At present, she Is supervisor I of probation officers of the domestic, I relations court. In her position, which she will as- i sume on January 1, Mrs. Rippin will ! take charge of the juvenile probation j work as well as that heretofore under her supervision. This arrangement will facilitate the co-ordination of all the probation work under one chief as contemplated under the Act of As sembly creating the municipal court. The appointment was made by President. Judge Brown, of the munici pal court, and of several members of | the board of managers of the House of Detention. The chief objection to Mrs. Uippin was that they thought the post required a man to keep the re calcitrant juveniles in control. Mrs. Rippin's work as supervising ; probation officer has elicited wide- j spread commendation. l*raiscd by Roosevelt Colonel Roosevelt, after visiting the ! court, made this terse but comprehen sive expression of Mrs. Rtppln as a public official: "I was immensely Impressed by the personnel of the court, the attend ants and all connected with it, but of those whom I saw the one whose DECEMBER 18,' 1916. work appeared most indispensable was Mrs. Rippin. She is the kind of pub lic servant for whose very existence, not only Philadelphia, but the United States, should be profoundly thank ful."

At the same time the manufacturers' com mittee was trying to learn the amount of paper stock on hand in the United States and the amount that will be manufactured for next year's needs.
