CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Ontario’s Super-Prison In the province of Ontario there is a prison the like of which cannot be found anywhere in the United Statcs. It is a prison without any walls or barred windows; @ prison where no guard carries a gun or a club. where any prisoner could escape at any time simply by walking away. It includes in its list of prisoners some of Canada’s most “dangerous” men—there are, for instance, more than 100 criminally insane lifers kept there. Yet it is conducted without any trouble. It has never had a riot or anything approaching one. It keeps its 700 convicts and has an average of only two escapes 2@ year. Not one of its supposedly desperate lifers hus tried to escape. This contrasts so amazingly with most prisons south of the international border—with Auburn, Dannemora / and Canon City, for instance—that it is worth a good bit of consideration. The prison is located at Guelph, and it was instituicd @ quarter of a century ago by Dr. Fred Leonard, who had been warden of the Ohio State reformatory but whose plans for conducting a prison were “too idealistic and visionary” for the hard-headed Ohioans. It is handled along very simple lines. ‘There are 950 acres of prison land, divided into farms, dairies and orchards. In addition, there are woolen mills, @ cannery, a wood-working factory, a bed factory and a quarry, all operated by the prisoners. ‘Thus there is a full-time job for every man in the prison. There is no dreary idleness. Every man is kept. busy. Every man is trusted. Every man has a good Place to sleep and good food to eat. Every man, in short, is treated as though he were a dgent human being. And—Ict those Americans who object to the “coddling” of prisoners ce@ider this— every man responds to this sort of treatment. There arc no riots. There is no discontent. There arc no more escapes than there are in the averace heavily-barred and heavily-guarded prison in the United States. Most important of all, no prisoner staying there comes to fecl that seciety is his eppressor, his enemy. "_meTpere_is a great lesson in that Ontario prison for the @uchortties south of the border; a lesson for the author- | W725, and a lesson for the rest of us as well. If you give decent treatment you, will get a decent recponse—whether you're dealing with ordinary mortals or with criminals. We might try to remember that. Not Keeping Up With Tools It is rather startling—or it would be, if we were noi pretty well used to miracles—to read that three men it an airplanc. flying over New York City, held a long- distance telephone conversation with officers on board the Leviathan, hundreds of miles out at sea. | The wireless telephone is a wonder-worker which can | obliterate all barriers of time and space. When you con- Sider that stunt in all of its implications, man seems to be a towering giant, ready to take the whole universe apart and put it together again, more to his liking. | in shirts, But the inspiration that the stunt brings fades when | you read a report of this telephoned conversation. } The weather, one gathers, was simply fine where the | Leviathan was. It was also fine up in the clouds over New York. Everyone was well and happy. Everyone could hear everyone else quite plainly. And that, it develops, was just about all. Now it isn’t altogether an accident that the thing turn- ed out that way. We have invented for ourselves some marvelous tools | but we don’t seem to have much idea how to use them. | Surely it was hardly worth while to connect a modern! ocean liner with a distant airplane, by telephone, merely 60 that everyone concerned could make remarks about | the weather; not any more than it has been worth while | to develop that other miracle, the talking movic, merely | in order to sce and hear a lot of second-rate music) hall revues. Our hands, in other words, have worked faster than | our brains. We have contrived a lot of wonderful devices | Which we do not quite know how to use. Science is treat-/ ing us better than we deserve. It is quite possible that we may talk with Mars one of | these days; but, if we do, what on earth shall we say? ‘Will it be anything more profound than information | about the weather and our own health? If not, we might as well let the people of Mars go unmolested for a while yet? The inventions of this modern age have enormous | potentialities for good. But they have. also, enormous | potentialities for evil—just as the beneficent X-ray ma-| chine could cause a good deal of mischief if some ir- responsible school child got hold of the controls. Growth of Air Lines During the war, when flying was in its infaney. many miilions were expended in the development of aircraft. not only for war purposes but with the idea that ulti- ‘aately air transportation would be taken up by commerce and industry generally. Millions were wasted, it seemed ‘et the time, but now it is seen that the money and effort ‘were well spent.

Butler Explodes Again The Navy department, it is reported, is making an inquiry into General Smedley Butler's recent Pittsburgi speech, in which the doughty marine declared that the marines in Haiti had maneuvered elections so as to put hand-picked candidates into office. General Butler must not be taken too seriously. H< has said a good many things that are not so, for Smedicy Butler is a blatant fellow. He is what the late Woodrow | Wilson would have classified as a single track mind. He} can fight—at least he has that reputation—but he can | not think well, so he says @ good many foolish things. He also acts queerly when seized by an attack of al- flatus. He was very much a clown in Philadelphia, run- ning the police department, but he was put in that posi- tion for political reasons which inevitably came cluiter- ing about his head when he attempted to boss the mayui who had appointed him. His speech has created a commotion in the navy, but ; it does not appear to be anything cise than one of thc | familiar Butler impertinances, In the parlance of the| street this much over-rated fellow has shot hts head! off again.

The real cause of the decay seems to be the acids thrown off by the de- velopment of bacteria in these food particles. These acid-forming bac- teria work most readily in mediyms jcontaining sugar or starch. The acids first attack the enamel, and when this has been dissolved, the hardest broken down. After the ivory-like enamel has decayed, the soft bone- like dentin can be attacked by the bacteria.

They make our ‘sinks of iniquity, vice and crime” almost blush at their own comparative virtue. There is, however, danger in jumping too readily to conclusions from a single set of figures. The commitment records of a city do not neces- more hiding places it contains and consequently the more The courts frequently are so overburdened with work that resort is had to every conceivable legal expedient to settle cases without trial, and some of those exnedients avoid committing confessed criminals to penal intsi- tutions. Whether it woud be far more agiceable to those of us who live in cities of 1.000.000 or more to accept the implications of this survey at their face value, we are constantly reminded of a volume of crime in our im- mediate neighborhoods that suggests that life and prop- erty would be safer if our commitment. ratios were higher. Watch Chicago in Congress (Duluth Herald) Chicago has lost. its water~diiversion case tn the su- Preme court, for beyond doubt that body will indorse the findings of Judge Hughes. But the lake states-—and the Mississippi states, too— will need to watch Chicago in congress, which will be the next battleground on this issue. Chicago cannot hope to get any support, anywhere for its purpose of diverting water from Great Lakes channels to flush its sewage down upon the people who live on the rivers below it. But Chicago can and does hope to get support for this plan by camouflaging it under the pretense that water enough to flush its sewage and provide its water power is needed for navigation in the Lakes-to-Gulf waterway. There is good authority—the beat, indeed—for the con- viction that this is anything but true. Certainly a waterway does not need water enough to make electric power, for that much flow means a swifter current than @ waterway can comfortebly handle. Chicago wants ten thousand cubic feet per second, and pitenaaly Sp, Mushes report cuts Ho take to fifteen hun- Engineers have said that that is plenty for navigation But Chicago will try to convince the Mississippi states eee fen thousand cubie feet for navigation, and that the states thet oppose its unwarranted and pron geld cased pte eonanrg pr Bigeta aati country. as well as several states, are opposed the Lakes-to-Guif waterway. i ‘The lake states, and the rest of the states as well, will necd to be on their guard against the insidious trickery of such ® campaign on the part of Chicago. | imo garth scenario writer who wan heard typing bis room antil 12:15, and DAISY SHEPHERD. from pnpers in Hogarth's trunk that the GRAVES who wrote ber Dowd's name a left New York inne : }Ged knows I bave no love for that . | Vier, who sat with his face bowed + | Sevier upon my premises at half- jeopHat will not be necessary at UGA ene Service, Inc. |Cannon, rich and highly respected | didn’t kill Mrs, Hogarth. citizen of Mereyville, was testily- | Vhat my daughter says is true. | —that man,” and he jerked his j bead contemptuously toward Se- “But 1 cannot!

His chief and Sergeant Turner were slumped in chairs at the eutenant’s desk— each a study in profound dejection. “Grin, damn you!” Strawn growled, as his newest detective greeted him. “Go on—say it—l told you so!” He spat gloomily, “How: may, we got one verdict against Se vier. He'll be indicted by the Srand jury on Monday.” “Do you really think, chief, that the grand jury will be so stupid as the coroner's jury?” Dundee asked pleasantly, as he seated himself in the open window. “I see you haven't ary screens, either, chief.

If all that love-talk took place at the plano last night, | guess everybody in the room got wise to what was going on.” A half-dozen little, unexplained things that Jewel Briggs had said flashed into Dundee’s mind. For a tantalizing moment he felt that the solution of both murders was on the very threshold of his mind, knocking for admission. Then the conviction was lost. He shook his head hopelessly. “Jewel Briggs was watching the Drogress of Bert's affair with Cora {with much interest,” he admitted slowly, “And Jewel Briggs was spend. ing the week-end with her folks when Mrs. Hogarth was murdered,” Strawn pointed out wearily. “Look!” Strawn urged. “You say Cora was murdered by the same person that killed Mrs, Hogarth. Why?" “Because the two crimes must he connected,” Dundee retorted. “Yeah? Well, the only person Cora suspected or had sald one word against, wes Emil Sevier. Far as I can see, Sevier was the only Person connected with Mrs. Ho- garth’s murder that had any cause |to bump off Cora—and he didn’t {do it!” eee 6 KNOW!" Dundee agreed, shrugging. “But look, chief! ‘committed within a month of each jother, and y 1 expect me to agree Here we have three murders, all| ¥% out, he seized her and kissed her against her will, tying her braids as he did so. If she did see him, he would have no choice but to kill her to keep her from giving the alarm.” “And why would he be coming back to Mrs. Hogarth’s room?” Sergeant Turner demanded sarcas- tically. “To look for the money he failed to find that night!” Dundee re torted. “Suppose a little more! Sup he fled from Mrs. Ho garth’s room Saturday night be fore he succeeded in finding the money, because. he heard Cora knocking. The papers have made ho secret of the fact that any money the old lady had in that room was not found by the police after her murder. If Dan Griffin had reason to believe she had the money he stole from bank, be might risk anything to go back and look for it—with some huneb of his own as to where it was hid den.” “There's just one little flaw in that pretty yarn,” Strawn inter- rupted. “Sevier didn't see any- body else while he was hanging around waiting for Cora, and be was climbing up the rose trellis himself just about the time Cora was knocking on the old tady’s door—that is, if he and Cora are telling the truth. Believe me, if Sevier had seen or heard anyone he'd have been hollering about it by this time!” ‘ “He would!” Dundee agreed tri- umphantly, “Ob, he would, all right! That's why I think Dan Griffin gave him no chance to see him, for he did not leave the Rhodes House that night!” “What's that?” Strawn ejaculat- ed, dazedly. “I mean I am convinced that Dan Griffin murdered three women and that he is now living at the Rhodes House!” “And who might Danny be?” Sergeant Turner gibed nastily. “Thet is what \'r: going to find out!” Dundee shouted, as he strode to the door. “Remember, chief, you promised to give me till Mon- day, and to let me work in my own way! As pay, I promise to give ‘bad’ penny’ by Monday it night!” (To Be Continued) Mec by mechanical injury.

N. writes: “About two years ago I took sunbaths for several weeks, beginning with five minutes each day, and increasing un- til I was taking an hour. Soon after I quit taking my face and neck be- came dry, and have been in that con- dition since. My neck, especially, looks like fine crepe paper. The skin when I rub it, is worse after using soap and water, and dead skin rubs off afterwards. Besides a cleansing the cream, what would you advise?” Answer: You may have injured the oil glands of your skin by too much of the sunbathing at one time, or you may have some infection of the ofl glands. It would be a good plan for you to use more oil in your diet, and rub some sweet almond cin on your skM after washing it with soap and water. Cooked Apple: Question: V. M. asks: “Why should fresh apples cramp the stomach when cooked ones do not?” Answer: Apples in the raw state are @ delicious fruit which, however, is better taken by itself and should never be combined with starchy food. There is a considerable amount of carbohydrate material in the apples, and the combination in itself with its own acid seems to produce fermenta- tion easily, so that quite frequently it cannot be used at all by people in whom this condition of fermentation sets up readily. If apples are usea in place of a meal they may be com- bined with one or two ounces of nuts Cooking changes the chemistry of the epple considerably and apples can often be used this way when they cause distress when eaten raw.
