The day of his discharge is the turn ing point in the conviet's life. It is the crisis. A word of encouragement a lit tie assistance may make a useful c1ti- zen. Public neglect at this crisis is mak ing hundreds of hardened criminals in Alabama and elsewhere.
 Congressman Howard. in discussing the plans Of MT. Emerson, calls attention to the many evils that result from the states and the public's neglect of ois- charged men and declares that the state should do something to correct the mis- take along this line. He calls atten- tion to the very effective work that is being done by Miss Eva Booth in the way of helping unfortunates to secure honest employment after their discharge. All convicts are not criminals at heart and may he made to become good citi- zens with the proper encouragement. The day they leave prison is the time to take them in hand

THAT REMINDS ME
ExCongressman w. Howard Commends the Plan of State Chaplain s. R. Emerson to Help Discharged Convcts
 In Getting New Start In Life
By WALTER HARPER.

But few men who are hungry out of money and bearing the smell of the prison can become good citizens within them selves.
 MT. Howard closes his letter and his published article with an expressed wlii- lngness to contribute both time and money to such a movement as pro- posed by MT. Emerson.
 I met one of the new bonnets on the street yesterday. l was almost choking with laughter when a cop mauled me over the head and informed me that ''it is the fashion now
 I saw something else on the street. I didn't laugh because l guessed 1t was the fashion, too. It was a man and a woman walking along the street togeth- er But that is not where l started to laugh. The man was carrying a big, white, woody dog in his arms and he was talking ''baby talk to it.

 William Graf a paralytic, wheeled in to Birmingham last night in an invalid s chair Of his own manufacture.
 He claims that he mas traVeied over SVVV miles in the chair during the past year and half.
 Oh, ye soldiersl Ye "quitters" in the game of life! Think of this. If you were lame in both legs and one arm whet would you do? Would you do anything? ?
 Bill Graf is no "quitter.' He has q smile on his broad face as mellow as E. May morning, and as broad as the corn fields of Iowa. Perhaps 1t is the open life he leads or the hope Of health that the sunshine and free atmosphere awak- ems in his bones. Perhaps he Is an op- timist in spite of his baking muscles.
 He declares that he is going to con tinue his journey around the world in this fashion unless he finds strength and health this side the goal.
 He is making his way by selling post cards and other trinkets of his own man ufacture. He is not an idle man. He built his unique travelling machine with his left hand and with that true left hand is able to manufacture other trink- cts for sale.
 A small boy is with him to push the machine and keep him company.

I have a letter from ex-Congressman NJ. W. Howard of DeKalb county in which he commends a proposed plan Of State Convict Chaplain s. R. Emerson to provide some organized means of as sisting discharged conyicts to get honest employment.
 Mir. Howard also encloses a requested article he wrote on the subject in De- Kalb paper some time ago.
 The ex-congressman writes that it Is not only detrimental to the state, but an injustice to the individual to turn him out of prison without money. friends or sympathy Before he can make an hon. est dollar he is hungry and Is tempted 10 steal for bread.
 This neglect on the part of the state or society, if you please, perhaps accounts for large percentage of what are termed confirmed criminals. They are given no opportunity to become anything else.
 MT. Emerson's idea is to esta blish some sort of information bureau through which worthy men who desire employmen. at the end of their terms may be directed and assisted in securing such employ ment. Suitable clothing and transporta- ton may be provided to any point where such employment may be had or if the ex-eonvict has a home send him there with enough money to make him appear decently as man.

two. days before the explosion by
Deputy Inspector Thomas Morrison.

said the explosion in point OF force was
the greatest ever recorded in Ohio.
When the explosion occurred DeODle

A train was passing the mine and
every window in every car was shat
