It looked for awhile as though the effort of Sheriff Edwin Ahlstrom of Lake County, 111, to ristitute the first real knockout prison reform by in- jecting jazz into jail might lead to bright things—but not xo. The Fed- eral judiciary by frowning on the attempt of this officer of the law to make the hoosegow a merry ren- dezvous for pretty young things with wayward ways has put a crimp in all hopes. Sheriff Ahlstrom, er. didn’t understa vivacious voung vamps should have to pine away in his jail when there were 50 many other things they could do. He had that feeling even though deral officials had placed the girls there. like many anoth- i why beautiful, Teok Two fe Dance. So. 1n the interest of jailbirds averywhere, the sheriff loosed two of his good-looking charges from their cells and hied himself to one of the sporty north Chicago dance halls, where a pleasant evening was had by all. However, the morning after, when thoughts were turning to pleas- antries of the night before, Fedcral agents turned up Wwith charges against the sheriff. He had shown contempt for the court by disregard- ing instructions to keep his prisoners in_prison. Federal Judge Carpenter put the finishing touches on this move for jail reformation in the interest of DISCUSS PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE Meeting of Leaders in Interest of ‘Work Held at Church of Our Father.

He disap- proved seriously of the plan to lighten the monotony and routine of jail life which the sheriff advanced as an ex- cuse and reason for his entertain- ment of the prisoners. The judge also thought that girls who had been enticed from their lowa homesteads by men el ged with viol Mann act and who were held in jail as witnesses, as were Margaret Mob- erly and Marjorie Doland, made unfit company for a sherifl. The officer's pleas went ungranted. Jail Again Drab Place. Thus ends one more move to lighten the lot of the oppressed. The picture of pleasure that might have been painted about the jzils of the countr: had the Ahlstrom experiment suc ceeded has now been blotted out The village bastille, that might well have become a social center, loses its color. Just as before, the experience of be ing jailed is a drab, unpleasant one, even for flappers. Sheriff Ahlstrom had pictured in his mind the thought of a jail he could call his own, filled with contented convicts. There were to be bl pen socials and lobby dancing parties open to all. But the first step went wrong. The outside dancing party with the two beautiful inmates proved the un- doing of the whole scheme. From now on there will be as little inducement as before for flappers and others to get themselves incarcerated even so much as in il.
