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."

Purchases During Year

I find relief from the newsprint paper
j shortage and prevailing high prices
j were continued here to-day by the
| Federal Trade Commission in confer
ence with committees of newspaper
j publishers, news print manufacturers
and paper jobber. A plan that was
{discussed proposes that publishers of
the larger newspapers reduce their
purchases next year by five per cent

more of the supply.
Questionaires were sent to-day to

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.
The larger publishers are not well
satisfied with the plan proposed con
tending it forces them to make
