C, Dec. 8= Congress today found work in nbundance with both Houses get- ting down to business with all pos- sible speed. Unemployment, Pro- hibition, and the President's budget message came in for more than casual consideration. ‘While party leaders sorbed in legislation to provide work for unemployed, and discuss- ing important nominations, the Senate was occupied with a debate over the bus bill, and the House had before it the matter’ of ap- propriations. Both branches first took up President Hoover’s budget measure. Little opposition is expected for drought employment plans may encounter a hard road, due partly to the re- luctance of Democratic members to pass. legislation appropriating $150,- 000,000 which would go into ex- ecutive hands for use without re- straint. Democratic leaders take the at- titude that Congress ought to know where the money is going before giving it into Presidential control Nor was Prohibition talk absent in today's sessions. That subject was largely occupying the time of those interested, both in repeal and enforcement.

WOMEN TO “RUN” CALIFORNIA PRI AS TEST OF CORRECTIVE PE! SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. 3.—An Alpine village, 4,000 feet high in the Tehachapi mountains, soon will materialize feminine ideas of how a prison for women should be de- signed and run. There will be no “grim, grey no watchtowers, no heavy barred windows, cell blocks or armed guards. The superintendent and all other employees, so far as practicable, will be women—yet it will house at the outset 120 inmates now con- fined to San Quentin penitentiary and ultimately will have accommo- dations for a maximum of 500. The new experiment in penology starts out with the idea in mind that the best penitentiary for wom- en is the one which looks the least like one, and which has a “correc- tive” rather than a punitive atmos- phere. N OLOGY Under plans formulated by a special prison commission appointed by Gov. C. C. Young, the physical characteristics of the institution will be that of a summer resort. Tts official name will be ‘“Califor- nia Institute for Women.” While there will be a unit for detaining inmates whose behavior is not considered good, the majority of women sent there will be housed in cottages, each of which will have its own dining room and kitchen. Bedrooms are to be escape-proof through use of a special steel sash window in which angle cross grills |of sturdy but ornate construction | substitute for the usual heavy bars. Completed, the mountain village will be a group of architecturally | attractive structures on a site of 1682 acres surrounding a preten- tious administration building. J.

Gross to Change Pictures at Sitka “I feel as if I were born again,” was Lockie MacKinnon’s reply to la query as to how he felt when he disembarked from the steam- (ship Queen last evening. He was home from a week’s sojourn at Goddard’s Hot Springs near Sitka. “If residents of this part of Alas- ka realized what a delightful, rest- ful place the Springs are, the place would be crowded all the time,” said MacKinnon. “The baths are lux- | urious, and the accommodations at the hotel leave nothing to be de- sired. Indeed, it is not excelled in Alaska. The Springs are a boat ride of two hours from Sitka. This trip never loses interest. The route af- fords the travelers views of some of the finest scenic beauties in the world.” Mr. MacKinnon left here two weeks ago, accompanying a party of old-time Alaskans to the Pio- neers’ Home at Sitka. “The Home is in excellent condi- tion,” he declared. “The only dis- connection with the motion picture theatre conducted by W.
