How Cleveland Hopes to Make
Prisoners and Patients Self
Supporting.
BY W. Frank RccIurs.

Cleveland's new farm colony of
1900 acres. on which are being
grouped in separate villages the city
workhouse prisoners, the infirmary
wards and the patients suffering from
tubercu,ar disease, represents an in
novation in municipal affairs that is
bound to attract attention. The pop
ulation of this city farm, already
numbering into the hundreds, will I'LL
timately reach 1000. The present
area will probably be increased to
5000 acres when all the city's penal,
sanitary and philanthropic institu-
tions shall have been moved from
the busy streets far into the country.
The new plan not only represents
philanthropy, but also an economy,
one department or Institution being
made to serve another, to the end
that the whole is to become self-sup-
porting, if the hopes entertained for
it are realized.
The site of this new city farm is
some ten miles from the central part
of Cleveland, near the little rural
town of Warrensville. 1t is 500 feet
above Lake Erie, the highest point in
Cuyahoga County. The air is just
the thing for tubercular troubles, and

The chief constructor of the French

merged into a single type, the battle
cruiser. This resultant concentra-

vessel of $4,000 tons, mounting a
unit battery of hig., calibre guns and
developing a speed of not less than
twenty-five knots.
The French constructor is also per-
suaded that any navy now bold
enough to lay down battleships of
$4,000 tons displacement will by
one stroke secure tremendous ad-
vantage over all its rivals, because a
squadron of four such vessels will
greatly outclass six battleships less

1t has been fifty years since the
old house passed out of the hands of

which are most needed in the main
stenance of city institutions, while, in
addition to farming occupations for
the prisoners, there are stone quar-
ries of good!::' dimensions.
A mile of electric railway has been
built by the city from the centre OF
the farm to an interurban road lead
ing into town. The farm is also pro-
vided with its own car, which mas the
privilege of running over the various
electric lines of the city. This car is
equipped with cots for patients un-
able to ride in the seats, and has an
apartment for freight in addition to
the passenger quarters.

Elton Jacket With Mandarin Sleeves

The jacket with the Mandarin
sleeves is a graceful and attractive
one that just now is in the height Of
style, and here is an exceptionally
charming development of the idea.
AS illustrated it is made of pongee
with trimmings of banding, collar of
lace and edge of velvet ribbon, but
the style is appropriate alike for the
suit and for the separate wrap and
consequently can be used for great
many materials. For the jacket to
be worn over any gown black taffeta
or natural colored pongee are favor
ties, but light weight cloth also is
used, while available suitings are
almost without number. A pretty
fashion is the use of dark colored
banding on light for the skirt with
the little wrap made of material to
match the bands, but there is almost
no limit to the many possible varia-
lions.
The Elton is made with fronts and
