ITALIAN PRISONERS REVOLT
because They're Not Allowed 60 spend
Their Earnings for Food.

RoMR, Dec. 1.-THE inmatee Of italian
prisons are allowed the privilege OF not
being quite starved to death. The Gov
eminent gives to each prisoner loaf Of
bread weighing one pound five ounces
and bowl of vegetable soup with paste
OF rice every day. and nothing else. This
fare il just sufficient TO keep man alive.
and added TO solitary confinement it inva-
riably haStens insanity
All the prisoners who are serving soil
tary confinement must adhere to the regu-
lation diet which il considered part OF the
penalty. but once this period is over then
those who work are allowed TO spend six
cents day in improving the prison diet.
while the other prisoners generally have
the money sent by their families. Until
a few years ago. when living Was cheap.
six cents was sufficient to remedy the
scanty prison fare. IA the prisoners bought
cheese. eggs. oil and vegetables. and occa-
sionally even ham. which they added tn
the bread and soup. and thsy ate enough
TO make life worth living, But prices
have risen 40 much that the unfortunate
prisoners with only six cents to spare find
it impossible TO buy eggs. which cost over
two cents each. or cheese oil and vegeta-
bles. which they cannot AFFORD to get.
The prisoners have been complaining
for several months past. and As they gen.
orally earn more than six cents day.
sometimes ~ cents. they insist on spend
ing all their earnings on food. Unfor-
tunately the privilege OF not being al
lowed TO be starved is limited by law to
six cents a day. 80 the complaints OF the
hungry prisoners were unhee ded. The
prisoners then claimed ali increase o.
wages.
Prison labor is contracted for by private
firms. who pay a round sum 20 the Govern
ment and exploit the prisoners unmerci-

stale board of control by the various

This showing of the possibilities OF
using the labor of the inmates Oh

dens with the intention OF raising
large proportion of the food supplies
and thus reducing maintenance cost
is apt to bring about important recon-

The board will probably suggest the
removal of the blind school from van.

tween Tacoma and Seattle, or near
some large city, when the blind can
make frequent trips to the larger

and secure education along the only

The Soldiers Home at Orting Will

Tho Importance Of Iron to the Eleo-
trical Industry.
The very root Of the electrical indus
try is iron. Without iron it is doubt
full If the larger generators and the
mighty motors could be built, for the
powerful magnets upon which these
inventions depend for their power are
all made of soft iron either in the
form of thin plates or long wires coy
cred with insulation.
Nearly every one is familiar with
the common horseshoe magnet which
is but piece Of steel bent in the
shape Of horseshoe and charged with
magnetism. When a steel bar of this
shape is rubbed against another mag
net it is charged" and will remain so
for long time. The magnets used in
electrical machinery are of the Undue
ton type-that is. the magnetism van
ishes just as soon as the current is
taken away from them. If you wind
long insulated wire tightly around a
wire a weak current Of electricity the
core will be instantly possessed of
strong magnetic qualities. This fact
is the basis Of all electric motors and
generators. The field coils are usually
made of a soft iron core wound with
yards and yards of insulated wire.
When the current is sent through this
wire the soft iron core is turned into
powerful magnet. and this magnetic
power is used to drive motors or to
generate more ectricity.-Electrical

WOMAN SUFFRAGE PUZZLES

Seattle-Since the adoption of the
equal suffrage amendment many
knotty problems have appeared along
the pathway of the suffragists. They
have received the Endorsement of the
voters at the polls. There remains
the Formally of proclamation by
Governor Hay before the amendment
becomes part of the constitution.
and after that. presumably, legisla-
tion adjusting registration statutes to
the changed conditions will be re-
Quired. AS q variation come num-
erous queries by forefgn-bOrn wom-
en- whose husbands have been natural
lied.
Questions with relation to the quail.
ifications of women to vote at forth
coming municipal elections. 1t has
been suggested that since the regis
tration books close twenty days before
the election the women will have no
chance to register and hence may
not vote. The law has no provision
which would permit city clerk to
register a woman voter even after
proclamation by the governor; in fact
the law especially prohibits any clerk
registering any person until he takes
an oath that he is q male citizen over
Fl years OF age.
Registration Point Raised.
State Senator Bryan. who is him.
self an ardent advocate Of woman SUI
frage, is Of the opinion that women
may vote without registration In the
absence of such a law. Mr.. Bryan
says: "The right to vote is a constitu.
tional right. While the constitution
requires the legislature to enact reg
istration laws, it does not suspend
the right to vote till the legislature
acts. The legislature had to be elect
ed by voters who were not registered
before It could enact a reg 'stration
statute. believe, since it is impos
sible for a woman to register unde,
any existing registration law, that she
will be entitled to vote at the an
preaching election without being reg
istered."
