By the Associated Press. . ATLANTA, June 19.—Inadequate food, unclean cages, and, in scme , stances, bad treatment are repc Georgia prison camps by two legislative investigating committees. To remedy the situation the commit- tees recommend that the Ten Command- ments be p:st:d prominently in each ! camp, that doors and windows be ! screened, and that typhold serum, more | butter and more milk be given pris- oners. Wardens Issue Denials. | The reports of the committees were | made yesterday after visits to camps in | the Southwestern part cf the State. The wardens promptly issued denials that | conditions were as bad as pictured, or said that they had been or were being | improved. One warden, C. W. Bean of | the Cook County Camp, said the Ten Commandments were p-sted there, and T. C. Cox, warden of the Crisp County Camp, said his prisoners had Bibles and read them regularly. | .

Gall took the shock with a sigh, going on patiently. ‘Whom were you with, dear?” “Oh, don’t dear me!” protested Ariel in sudden ugliness. “You know you think I'm a lost soul and you're going to tell Phil and stir up all sorts of trouble—" She stopped fiercely as Gail merely sat, silent. From vague worry and apprehension about Ariel, suddenly the whole fearful danger had sprung upon her. This morning it had been no more than fear; now it was full knowledge. Galil's spirit hint of huskiness or of apology in it: “If it makes it any-—better, we all thought that was a horrible place and that we'd never go there again! “You haven't been there before?” Ariel could even laugh. “Oh, good- ness, no! We just happened, we hap- pened—here. I'll tell you how it was!” she leaned forward, locking her hands about her knees. “Mrs. Camp and Dorothy were going into the city on the 10 o'clock yesterday morning to do some shopping and stay overnight. So they asked me to go, and Mrs. Camp was going to see her aunt in San Rafael, so she said that Dot and I could have lunch together and go see a movje. Well, about 5, we were back' at the ho- sald that her aunt was so sick she was going to stay in San Rafael, and we could get four Orpheum seats and ask two boys to go with us. So we were sort of telephoning around for boys and we got Buddy Raisch and his road- ster. Well, that was about all there was to it! Buddy said we could get a grand shore dinner at Mockerson’s about 10, if we went to the movie first. But I didn’t realize it was 40 miles away and that it would be so foggy——' The horror that had held Gail in a vice since midnight of the night before began to loosen and fade; she could ‘Certainly we did!” ‘What time did you get there?” it 1.

If we turn ourselves into animals we only have to work our way back to decency sooner or later. Gluttony in food isn't any more ex- pensive than—than developing appetites for—for—other things— “I know what you mean,” Ariel re- lieved her briefly. 5 “Surely no sane girl could think that the sort of marriage that goes on now, with jazzing and fighting and di- vorce——" Gail began eloquently. “Sure ly no girl thinks that is worth while! Why. girls like that are burned out at 20; their lives are over! They're fit for nothing! They go on for a few years—" “Gail, you're old-fashioned. It does- n't matter what—what comes of it. You have to live! And you don’t live when you stick at home, waiting for splendid young men to conss after you! Be- cause they simply—don't come!” “Nonsense! At your age to go on as you are going is simple ruin.” “Now listen, Gail,” Ariel began again in deadly earnest. ‘“You had to lie to get off on this Chipp party, didn't you?"” Gail was checked. “I'm not proud of it——" she said after a moment, in a shamed voice. “Why shouldn't you be proud of it?

Just as soon as I can going to get out, and I advise you to! Why, what does it matter about Van Murchison—how much he wants to fool around, how young a kid he is. He's rich, he’s go- lng to take his wife East and abroad. What do you care about the rest? He never says a sensible word or does a sensible thing. What do you care? You play his game! You don't want to change him; you want to marry him! Let him be giddy. Let him be wasteful and frivolous, if he wants to be! What is it to you? He gets you out of Clip- persville and away from these gossiping old_busybodies! The river of words dazed and terrified Galil.

Most terrible of all to Gail was her little sister's easy air of conspiracy, her casual, quick assumption that they were both in the same boat. Gail was fran- tic with alarm. If she told Philip there would be domestic pandemonium, and if she did not. she herself must assume a most_appalling responsibility. 'HEADACHES Relieved!

Being but 17 and 23, and Lawrences at that, they fell to crying and then to laughing, Ariel ending’as usual with a ' complete upset. Phil arrived just as the streaks of red sunset were fading from the old mustard and green brocade wallpaper of Ariel's room and then Sam and Edith came in and they all sat about her. Gail felt oddly old, exhausted with emotion, tired from the confused im- pressions of these last brilliant, novel days, weak from the reaction from Ariel's revelations, yet she was strangely, deeply happy, too.
