FIFTY FROM ALL GLASSES
WORK OUT FINES
Chances for Sociology Studies Among
the ToiIers Who Are Improving
Griffith and Echo Parks-Those
Without Money Work

Did you ever notice the different de-
grees of men who work daily in the
chain gang?
There is a young man, hardly out OF
his teens, and beside him the old and
hardened criminal.
Then there is the weak man, who
cannot say no, and perhaps by his side
is a man that would go through fire
and water to accomplish his end-When
it is not in the right
Just the other day, as the chain
gang was being driven back to the jail,
there to pass the night, there seemed
to be more than the usual variety. AS
the sun was setting on free city, these
men. who find the way of the trans
gressor hard, were being taken back
to their captivity, and as soon as one
Judge sets them free from imprison-
ment, they do something else to be
put again in the tolls.
Sitting in different attitudes of tired
ness, some stolidly and others shrink
ingly, with them, yet apart, was a
young man.
Flowers for Cell
During the day he had plucked a
bright marigold and red geranium
and was carefully carrying these back
to the Jail. The little flowers We're
almost lost in the big, braWny hand,
but the man was tending them as
carefully as though the marigold was
the golden apple of the Hesperides and
he. Hercules, returning with it as one
of his labors.
The members of the chain gang are
now working on a hill and not hiding
their light under a bushel.
About fifty of these genius hobos,' -
in charge of Captain r. b. Felts, are
spending their enforced energies daily
in shoveling the salubrious soil from
the elevated northwest corner of Tenn
pie street and Lake Shore avenue. This
soil is being drawn by about dozen
teams, furnished by the police depart
ment to the city playground across
the way.
The work of the chain gang" said
Captain Felts yesterday has reduced
this hill about twenty feet and raised
the playground lowland about twelve
feet. The work has also been extended
to strengthen the dam at the south
end of Echo park. The dam is about
15O feet long, 40 feet wide and 20 feet
deep. This work having been done in
an opportune time saved the overflow
of the lake during the rains

been inevitable had the dam not been
