The Committee on Prisons of the Call
ifornia House of Representatives has
recommended that the convicts be en-
ployed in making toys. AS at present
all our toys are imported from Germa-
ny, this will not come into conflict with
the State law prohibiting convict made
goods from coming into competition
with the products of honest industry.
OF course, some of the shrieking sister
hood are up in vehement protest that
prison-made goods will have "sugses-

children. There seems to be nothing
