12 %% THE EV CORPS AREA CHIEFS VISIT GAMP RITGHIE Col. Darrah and Maj. Gillam Express Pleasure With Guardsmen’s Work. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. CAMP ALBERT C. RITCHIE, Cas- eade, Md., August 14—An unexpected visit was paid the camp yesterday by Col. T. W. Darrah, chief of staff of the 3d Corps Area, and Maj. A. C. Gillam, jr. mobilization officer, both | from 3rd Corps Area headquarters, in | Baltimore. After a cursory inspection of the reservation Col. Darrah expressed Ap- proval of the general appearance of the camp and especial pleasure in that the infirmary had no inmates. They arrived during the absence of Maj. Gen.. Anton Stephan, command- ing the 29th Division, and Col. John W. Oehmann, camp commander of troops, who were at Gettysburg with the division staff, studying the Civil War battlefield. They were shown through the camp by Capt. Charles E. Smith- son, regimental adjutant. Discuss Mobilization Plans. On_the division staff officers’ return, Col. Darrah conferred with Gen. Ste- phan concerning the functioning of the division in the corps area, while Maj. Gillam discussed with the other staff officers mobilization plans. Today Companies B and E went on the rifle range for their practice firing preliminary to firing for record tomor- row. At the same time Companies C and D began their course in prepara- tion for rifle marksmanship. The work yesterday of the demoli- tions group was suspended because of faulty explosives. A string of blocks of TNT laid along the bottom of a trench failed to explode. Lieut. George Harbin, in charge of demolitions, ex- plained that the explosive had been stored since 1928, and consequently re- quired a strong detonating charge. A car was dispatched to Washington for a supply of stronger caps, and if the more powerful detonations do not work fresh TNT will be gotten from Fort Humphreys, Va., he declared. ‘Work continued yesterday on road and raft building and repair of the drainage system. Second Battalion Parades. The day’'s work was brought to a close by a parade by the 2d Battalion of Engineers. In the morning an airplane from the National Guard AireService camp at Martinsburg, W. Va., circled the parade ground, and experiments were conducted in communicating with ground forces. The Signal Company from Norfolk, Va. received and sent the messages for the camp troops. Upon recommendation of their com- pany commanders 11 men were pro- moted and four were reduced in rank in special orders made public yester- day. The promotions follow: Headquarters and Service Company, Corpl. George C. Danforth to technical sergeant; Corpl. Louis A. Robertson to sergeant; Pvts. Lloyd Nell and Elmore W. Seeds. to corporals, Company B, Corpl. Harry E. Bartz, to sergeant. and Pvts. William J. Cave, Charles R. Woods and Henry C. Dixon to corporals, Com- pany E: Pvts. John K. Randolph and Steven M.

WONDERFUL INDEED | SAYS RESIDENT OF KENTUCKY AVENUE MRS. HAROLD W. COTTON" This is one of the latest state- ments received for the famous medi- | cine, Miller's Herb Extract (formerly | called Herb Juice). It was given by | Mrs. Harold W. Cotton, 825 Ken-| tucky Avenue S.E. If you are one of her personal friends, ask her in per- son why she thinks it is the most | wonderful remedy she has ever used and why, like hundreds of others here in Washington, she is willing to give a public statement that others may know of it. In giving her statement for publication a few days ago, Ml’s.i | Cotton said, “I did not think ome | | medicine could do a person so much | good until I used Miller’s Herb Ex- tract. Why, for months past I had suffered with stomach trouble, head- | aches, constipation and of late I was also troubled' with my kidneys. Due to their irregular action I was up at | all hours of the night, suffered with | pains across the back, also in side | and was very nervous. Even food I ate seemed to upset me and after | eating I always suffered with gas and | | indigestion pains. So many_people | | praised this medicine that I_made | up my mind to try it also and I have no room for regret; in fact, it has brought me untold relief. All my old trouble has passed away. no longer have a sign of trouble with my stom- ach after eating. Headaches, also pains in side and back, are gone. | Kidneys act more regular and I rest well at night. My husband was also |in a rather rundown condition and | was ona diet for months, and he, too, suffered with headaches and consti- pation. When this medicine proved 50 satisfactory in my case, he also | began using it and the results have been very satisfactory in his case also.” Miller’s Herb Extract (formerly called Herb Juice) is a wonderful reg- | ulator for the bowels, gives almost instant relief from constipation and has a soothing effect on the stomach.

This {s the eighth and last of & reries of articles on European methods of dealing with crime and criminals. BY HENRIETTA W. BINGHAM. VIENNA, August 14 (N.AN.A)—Treatment of prisoners in Austria is to !ollne extent graduated in accordance with the legal and personal status of the culprit. chrsom under provisional arrest during judicial investigation of alleged offenses naturally receive more lenient treatment than criminals sentenced and serving terms. Prisoners not vet up for trial and kept in preliminary custody may wear their own clothes artd provide themselves with meals, recelve newspapers and books, write letters and_smoke. They have fairly comfortable rooms, and gen- erally are treated as individuals merely su: d inighable Austria. There is also an unwritten' distinction between convicts belonging to intellectual classes and others. The better educated wherever possible are not employed at manual labor, but pref- erably in office or library work, or some similar occupation.

For many decades, up to the war, criminal statistics in Austria showed & certain stability in numbers and grade of offenses. With peace, a temporary change for the worse set in. ‘The remnants of the great Austrian armies, partly demoralized by war, were swept back to the impoverished and starving homeland already overcrowded by civilian fugitives from the provinces of the former vast empire. It is not to be wondered that with chronic lack of food and all other com- modities brought about by blockade dur- ing the war, the rate of criminal of- fenses, principally theft, burglary and fraud, rapidly reached an astoundingly high level. This movement was reversed, however, when conditions in Austria beeame more stabilized, and the following years re- | duced crime statistics sharply. ‘Two Methods of Confinement. Austria has six large prisons, five for men, one for women, in which only per- sons sentenced to penal servitude of more than one year are kept. They accommodate 3,570 prisoners. Besides these, there are 16 prisons connected penitentiaries for young people exist in ' crafts in prisons is governed by the [ with the principal law courts, and more 0o S OO u\'{é OO FRAABOCK 0% QOLPHE r 1] e VT ru Sun Parlor Suites of Willow This is an unusual suite at a remarkably low price. 1t is adaptable for use in sun parlor, living room or porch.

Two methods of confinement are practised, solitary and “joint” deten- tion. In the solitary form the prisoner lives and works in his cell entirely alone. He sees nobody except his warder and once a month a superior officer of the prison, and is not per- mitted to speak. In complete silence his days and nights are passed and only a short daily walk in the courtyard brings him into the open air, under the supervision of a warder. Solitary Confinement. In the common cells, in which the prisoners live in groups of about 14, the convicts take their meals together, and they work together in common work shops. Solitary confinement is either ordered by the governor of a prison as discipline for disorderly prisoners, or is given convicts who ask this form of punish- ment. If a man has a clean record in prison he can, by serving a term in solitary confinement, shorten his sentence about one-third. Austrian prison rules afford well- behaved convicts further opportunities of earlier release. After.a prisoner has served half his sentence he can get conditional release whereby he enjoys {reedom s0 long as he behaves. If he is found guilty of any offense, however slight, his original sentence is revived and he has to serve it out. The death penalty was abolished in !

Murders did not rise above normal, as predicted by opponents of the measure, nor did they fall below normal. In this Austrian criminologists saw proof that capital punishment is not a deterrent of murder. In Austria, the percentage of re- cidiviem is high, Nearly 50 per cent of the released jail population resumes its criminal activities and finds its way back to prison, so the same percentage of the average prison population must be classed as habitually criminal. How to deal reasonably with erim- inality both from the point of view of protecting society and endeavoring to reform the individual criminal is as puzzling and perhaps as hopeless in Austria as in every other country.
