PR(]PUSES PRISON | CURB FOR UNRULY *Supt. Barnard <f D. C. Insti- | tution Offers Plan for Workhouse. The construction of a walled-ih area | and cellhouse for unruly prisaners at| the mnrlcn reformatory at Lorton, Va., has been proposed to the Board u!Publlcwe!hnh:u M. Barnard, general lupeflnundml of the Dumus‘ penal institutions, as & precautionary, measure against the escape of such in- | mates. | ‘The inclosure, as suggested by Bar- | nard in a letter to George S. Wilson, | director of public welfare, would cover | an area of 500 square feet with a wall 2B feet high. The wall and cellhouse seuld be erected for approximately | wfi ,000, according to estimates of the ‘There 48 no intention of walling in |~ the entire reformatory, where 600 pris- oners are detained without even-a re- straining: fence, but it has become ad- visable to have an inclosure to house those who are difficult to handle, ac- oerding to Barnard. Other Reasons for Need. ‘The congested conditions in Federal Institutions throughout the country and Insistence of the Attorney General that the District take care of all prisoners convicted in this city are cited by Bar- nard as additional’ reasons why the walled-in area is needed. “We have received in the past two rs 570 prisoners o\mvlctedp- in the trict of Columbia, and of this num- ber nearly 300 were sentenced to terins of five years and aver,” Barnard sa; in the letter to Wilson. “Included in this number also were a great many having previously served terms in other institutions. The original intention of the reformatory was that it ‘should be LY plm ement for all hopeful d we be obliged to ac- mpfi :ll classes we feel that such a course would destroy the purpose for Thich 1 was tntended. | © % Subject Personally Studied. “We have personally given this sub- fi a great deal of study and have ced with various persons interested in and familiar with the eriminal prob- lem, and we have nlched the conclu- slon that to accept all prisoners con- victed in the District of Columbia the only safe and intelligent way to handle the problem would be to build a secure where from 12 to 25 per cent of the population could be cared for, if necessary. Such an institution, in my &lnlon could be erected at any point Penal Commission decided upon, and my idea would be to inclose a space 500 feet square, with a wall 25 feet high. 'l'hen should be & cell house erected to house a number of long-term men and those men could be used in the construction of such buildings de- negessary - to establish such an institution. “If this institution is erected mnear fthe reformatory bul d I believe it feasible to do t could be handied under the one management and ‘would also be a measure of economy, as an entirely separate institution 'ould be m'mm"\n'f mmu' ychological “In my opinion Psye effect in having an institution of this kind would tend to increase the dis- cipline and morale of the present re- formatory.

A Needle’s Eye View of a SOCIETY BRAND Staunchley Suit Reveals the Secret of Its Remarkable Success Plying its way through the making of a suit the needle sees many things that would escape the human eye. For instance, take the body and the liveliness of the fabric. Or the painstaking efforts in putting the seams together. The joining of the sleeve to the coat. The shaping of the collar. The ¢utting of the trousers to assure a graceful hang from waist- line to cuff. Looking at a Society Brand Staunchley suit through the needle’s eye would reveal the secret of its remarkable success. It would make interesting reading in the hands of an author. On the other hand, if you are one of those skeptical per- sons, wear one of these suits for a short time. Performance is what counts. The performance of a Staunchley suit is unerring. OTHER SOCIETY BRAND SUITS PRICED TO $75 Direct Elevators to the Men’s Clothing Department—Second Floor Tar Hecat Co.
