PRISON WARDEN EXPECTS MANY NEW BOARDERS ‘Average of 4 Prisoners in Each County Jail—at Least 50 Will Be Sent Here With at least 200 prisoners in the county jails of North Dakota at the present time, most of whom are waiting trial, Warden John Lee of } the state penitentiary expects a large number of new boarders at his institution within the next six or|g eight weeks. The warden estimates that there is an average of four|q prisoners in each county jail in the state, although some jails have a much larger number of prisoners. The Ward county jail at Minot now has a total of 4 has just learn i ber Although the prison is filled al- most to capacity at the present time, | there will be a number of inmates | released during the same period, so that Warden Lee does not believe the institution’s capacity of 320 pris- oners will be overtaxed by the influx of men this winter. Enrollment Now 308 The enrollment at the penitentiary today is 308, and with every cell occupied the vluce can accommodate a maximam of 320. The pardon board meets on December 2 and itsy action usually liberates an average of about 20 men. Judging from past records. Ward- en Lee estimates that from one-third to one-fourth of those now waiting trial will be given penitentiary sen- tences, so that he expects at least 50 new inmates here within the, next two months. Records kept during the past four years show a yearly average of 212 prisoners at the penitentiary, ac- cording to the warden, while approx- imately the same number are re- leased each year, so that the enroll- ment figure remains about the same. MARY PICKFORD IS AT CAPITOL Now Showing in ‘My Best Girl’ —Fate and Griffith Made Mary an Actress Fate made Mary Pickford an actress. Choice led her into motion pictures—and from that upward to fame. Had it not been for this for- tuitous combination, the story of Mary Pickford might have been very different, for she had several ideas for her future besides that of a screen career. If she had not visited the old Biograph studio in New York on one memorable after- noon, her life-work might have lain in any one of several channels, in- cluding that of being a business executive, instead of a cinema star. If Destiny had not brought Miss Pickford to D. W. Griffith’s atten- tion, she might have continued with her stage career; or she might even have followed her leaning toward portrait painting; or it is possible that she would have taken up interi- or decoration, in which, incidentally, she is still greatly interested. But most likely she would have gone in- to the business world, beginning as a salesgirl in some partment. store, and undoubtedly climbing to the top of the tadder. Mary’s new United Artists pro- duction, “My Best Girl,” now show- ing at the Capitol, reflects many of the experiences she had during her brief employment in a five-and- ten-cent store in Los Angeles. “Yes, I really think I'll go back and try it again some day. I learn- ed more about human nature while I was at the store than I would ordinarily in years. And I’m sure I can get my old job back,” she said, laughing.
