DETENTION HOME T0LACK COMFORTS No Space for Chair in Bed- Room, No Quarters for Food Supplies. ‘Spartan simplicity will have to be cbserved in the arrangement of the new Detention Home,” Mrs. Mina Von Winkle, chief of the Woman’s Bureau of the Metropolitan Police, declared to- “We will not have space to gi or the cmployes the comforts they have had in the home on B street. “Each priscner will have but a bed, £he continued. “There is not even space for a chair in the nd dor- mitories of th i Our greatest handicap, of room in which to store sux to the fact that the new building has no cellar, there will be no room for serve supplies of provisions. barely have the s to keep a week food supply.

There is plenty of light and air in_the three floors of the buildis which has, altogether, 98 win- vs, with north, east and west ex- Eat in Living Rooms. The new building will be well equipped, with a kitchen and pantry providing all modern conveniences. There will be no dining room, and the prisoners will | have to eat in the living rooms. In speaking of the living rooms Mrs. Van Winkle expressed I over their enforced reduction of space for these particular rooms, as she said it would be quite impossible to give them the appearance ch is so greatly desired. The value of the home influ- ence which is exerted by proper sur- roundings over many unfortunate women cannot be overestimated,” Mrs. . | prisoners will have to be detained in| €| ways been our earnest desire to bring disappointment | ARTIST OPENS EXHIBIT. |$38885333$ °® Reproduces in Havana Miniature of Latin American Exposition. HAVANA, January 15 (P)—An ex- tion in minial eproducing the Latin American ol n to be held at Seville, Spain, was opened here Sun- day by the Cuban artist Ramon Perez Diaz. The 18 bulidings which are being erected at Seville by as many Latin American republics have been faithfully shown in miniature, as well as reproduction of sites, grounds and concourses. ‘The miniature Seville exposition will soon be taken to New York to be shown and later will be sent to the larger ities of Latin America. | | sleeping accommodations in the new building will also be necessary, due to lack of rooms and space. “We will only have room for 35 pris- oners,” said Mrs, Van Winkle, “includ- ing both colored and white. At present | in the old home we frequently have| | more prisoners in one night than we | will have space to accommodate. It means that in the future many woman SE s 2Ess3issesstieeeesssssssaeeeesssssssssssetestsssssssseseesssssss | the police precincts, whereas it has al- all arrested women to the Detention Home.” One of the greatest factors in the| | satisfactory enforcement of discipline | among prisoners is keeping them prop- erly occupied, Mrs. Van Winkle claims. The new building, with its cramped | quarters, will be an obstacle to the | furtherance of occupational activities | among prisoners, as it will of necessity compel a restriction of movement. | Need Occupational Teacher. | “One of our greatest needs at lent,” Mrs. Van Winkle sai | teacher of occupational theraupy. |a person would have the most bene- | | ficial effect among prisoners detained | in the home, and the Woman's Bureau would certainly be grateful to any one | who might be influential in obtaining | the services of such a person.” Mrs. Van Winkle conducted a re- porter around the new Detention Home, located above an oil station on the cor- ner of Sixth street and Louisiana ave- nue. The building, a cream brick, with elevator service for the three floors which it contains, is well built and conveniently located within sight of the cour se and police headquar- ters. It is also much easier of access to car lines than the old home.

Speaking of these materials in a recent Ietter, Mr. Leon N. Gillette says: “They give the sort of permanent service one expects in well construcied buildings, and afford permanent protection against rust.” There is one way to assure yourself complete freedom from the trouble and expense of rusted metals. That is —use Copper, Brass and Bronze for plumbing, roofing materials and hardware and lighting fixtures. When you build or buy a home or remodel your present one, be sure to get these rust-proof materials. Don’t be satisfied with metals that merely resist rust. Insist on the true rust immunity of Copper, Brass and Bronze. Remnants of Congoleum 2 to 12 Sq.
