Second Section ] NEW BRITAIN HERALD [~"-*] VOCALIST ISHAPPY | AT RETURN ‘HOME Rose Bryant,—No—ted Soloist, Wel- comed to Her Old Church A singer who expresses her joy at being back in her native city with the aclection of a song entitled | “Coming Home” for her opening number, and who ends her program with one entftled “Goodbye Sweet | Day” can be considered as having a | very delightful time. This evidence from the program merely confirmed | the joy that Rose Bryant radiated at the First Congregational church Jast night, where the former mem- | ber of the church quartet sang in re- cital under the auspices of the Cen- | tral Congregational club. Her many friends, and scores be- sides, were there to beam a wel- | come. As she sang she stood at the same spot where years before she had “tried out” as a candidate for the First Church quartet, according to the Rev. Theodore A. Green in his talk welcoming the singer “back | home.” Since that time the singer has flown high, being contralto solo- | ist at the Brick Presbyterian church, | on New York's Fifth avenue, where exceedingly circumspect attention is given to the quality of the music. The welcome was also somewhat flowery. Four handsome bouquets were brought forward from admir- .

British prison administrators | have turned to the shrewd prac- | tices of the ancient Pharoahs for a punishment that will break the will of an obstreperous p: oner without so much as scratch- ing his skin. If the punishment were prolonged the prisoner would lose his mind. For under- going such punishment, and for every day he works in a British prison, a prisoner earns one half a cent. Seven years of confine- | ment would permit the prisoner to accumulate about $11.

Three times a day he hears anoth- er—when his food is handed to him through the bars of his cell.

He has been given a position of trust and has abused it, therefore he must suffer. He does. Also he never be- comes a “trusty” again. Reward for Behavior A well-behaved prisoner earns good remission marks. For ex- ample, a prisoner serving a five-year sentence will be released on ticket- of-leave at the end of three and a | halt providing his conduct has been exemplary.
