In addition to work in this field, which has even spread to Hawaii, where patrolmen are known as jun- for police, safety education will reach nearly 2,500,000 children as & part of schools. The value of this comprehensive program of promoting safety has been credited by the national con- ference on street and A highway safety, operating under chairmgn- ship of Secretary of Commerce La- mont, with a marked reduction in child fatalities. “Reduction in child deaths, cred- fted to safety education and school patrols,” Sécretary Lamont said, the one redeemable feature ‘in the whole situation of traffic mortalit; “In seven years motor vehicle ac. cidents increased $2.2 per cent, but fatalities among children under 15 years of age increased only 2 per cent, while adult fatalities in- creased 106.9 per cent “hild fatalities regiftered crease in 1928, and partial returns for 1 indicate a still more marked decrease.” $ 2 Safety records of Chicago show that the number of childran under 15 years of age who were killed by the regular curricula of | s | ness. a de-| automobiles was reduced from 188, when the patrols were first estab- lished 2 1826, to 166 in 1929, .

Pending the medical ex- | aminer’s finding and a more thor- |ough search of the body in the ‘mnrxufl. the authorities are ad- |vancing no theories on the manner |in which the woman met her death. Eric Will, caretaker on the island, | which is situated at the mouth of the harbor about three miles from | the municipal dock, notified the | police immediately after discovery |of the body. The woman's'face was cut bbyond recognition but the clothing was apparently unharmed. \The body was clad in a petticoat, shoe, silk stockings and a chemise. As far as could be ascertained there was no jewelry on the body.

It is the United States Army | Disciplinary Barracks on Alcatraz Island, used since 1868 as a prison | for milicary delinquents. Fortified in 1854, it was the first American military base on the Pacific coast. Its commandant, Colonel G. Maury Cralle, U. 8. A., believes that prison riots breed themselves and asserts bluntly that there is no ex- cuse for failure to take measures to prevent. them. = 500 in “Ideal Prison” At present he has 500 prisoners, lodged in ‘what might be tqrmed an ideal prison. The most striking teature of the place is its cleanli- The cell block has huge win- sides, admitting an abundance of light and clean salt breezes from the bay. There is no crowding, each man having his cell to himself, and the *‘prison smell” —known by every man who has cver visited the ordinary peniten- tiary — is conspicuous by its abs sence. | Colonel Cralle points out that the | prison ,is Ya self-contained unit where every prisoner has construc- tive and heatthful work, performed lunder the direction of army men whose aim is corrective rather dows on four Night School CLASSES BEGIN MONDAY, at SEPT. 15 the Moody School Now is the Time to Add to Your Education.

The soldier guard, being himself under strict discipline, is never guilty of any of these fauly and as a result the prisoners get fair, equal treatment, The present main prison build: ing was errected about 20 years age, over the old fortification guarding the bay. notable steps for the rehabilitation of the prisoners have been taken. Colonel Cralle got the loan of $2,500 to start a ‘“model industries” proj- ect. A furniture and woodworking | unit was started, followed by shoe- | making, upholstering, - tailoring, printing and other units to a total of 50, all designed to instruct the prisoners as well as to keep them busy.
