The New Flag
Continued from Hfth page.

a thing separate and apart II Is, how
ever. a task that is OF much greater mag
nitude than might be expected. Not only
have all the ships Of the navv TO he kept
in flags of the United States that are flaw
less, but II is likewise necessary that THESE
ships should be supplied with a score OF
flags OF every nation in the world This
because OF the possibility that the given
ship will at some time so into the port OF
the given country and the faS viii OF
necessity have to be flown.
Besides the ordinary flags OF various
sizes each ship must have coats OF arms
the Presidents standard, the flag or the
Secretary OF the Navy flags for rear ad-
nirals Of various rank. all different In
color and design mail flags, yacht ensigns
and scores OF others. She must have the
barred. square flags of the Argentine Re
publIc. the vivid colors OF Austria's yellow
and red, the starry blue banner of Brazil.
the grewsome dragons OF China. the whisk-
cred gentleman from Denmark, the tri-
color OF France. the imposing standard
OF the Emperor Of Germany, the royal
standard OF Great Britain. with specials
for all the governors OF colonies: Mexico
eagle must scream from It's perch OF
thorns: even the white elephant OF Slam
must strut on a suitable banner; the cres-
cent OF Turkey. the plain two bars OF
Monaco. which harbors Monte Carlo; the
national flag Of the Mosquito Isands-alI
these must find place in the locker OF
every battleship.
All these are therefore made and made
carefully at the Brooklyn navy yard
where the department has its chief force
of flag workers. To be sure, there is a
minor force at work at Mare Island, near
San Francisco, where flags are also made
and the efforts Of the Brooklyn branch sup
plemented. But In Brooklyn most or these
countless flags are made. They mount
into the thousands OF different designs

are made here. The federal government

Map Making

conventional signs to show the number OF
stories, roof covering, whether there are
and bearing walls unprotected or protected
by wire glass or shutters, location OF
elevators. we'll holes, hatchways, sky!ights

building Is endangered by its neishbors OF
poor construction appears at glance. ee-
SIDES determining individual risks the
maps are used 20 keep track OF the amount
at risk in any one block or section Of a
city. The companies have learned by hard
experience not TO carry too much insurance
in one locality, but to distribute their
chances OF loss.
The making Of these maps Is work OF
infinite detail Surveyors who are sent TO
city or town usually obtain preliminary
data on blocks and streets from the city
engineers office. After the blocks are
plotted each building is measured carefully
and drawn on the map on the hfty-foot to
the inch scale. Then each building must be
inspected from cellar TO roof, so that every
detail may be seen and noted Not sky
light or window may be left out. To do
the field work alone in a large city requires
two years work Of a dozen surveyors. All
are trained for this particular job There Is
more fine labor for the craftsmen, for errors
are likely to creep in, despite all care, here
as in the feld When autographed the
maps are mounted on muslin and bound in
volumes about two feet square, each weigh
ing around twenty-five pounds.
The smaller towns and cities are re-
mapped every Ave or six years. while the
maps of large cities are revised every SIX
months or two years. In New York City
revision is facilitated by the chocolate

To Make Laboratories of Prisons

the free laborers in this occupation In the
Southern States the prisoners are employed
in road making, mining, building leVees'
etc. In Virginia, until recently, the prison
ers worked upon shoe contracts and made
as many as a million pairs year. Ihey
now build roads for the state.
All sorts Of devices are resorted 10 for
the purpose Of stimulating the prisoners 10
greater production. Labor organizations
may object TO efficiency systems, but II is
not for the prisoner 10 put forth any oo)ec-
lions. In the Rhode Island prison the man
who accomplishes more than he ola the
dsv nrevious is rewarded for his efforts by
the gift Of a plug of tobacco. Any prisoner
who produces more than 30 per cent above
the average of the prison shares IN the
profits of his handiwork What his snare
is may be judged by the fact that some
times in this way he reaps as much as 20
in one month. Under this system OF stlinu-
lation it is said the product has tripled
since IL was introduced.
Exploitation. not reformation, is the key
to the contract labor system IT opens inc
door to graft and therefore Is OF negative
value to the taxpayer. 1t does not help the
prisoner, for II deadens any amoluoh ne
may have TO better himself and IT does not
help free labor, for 1t comes into compeu-
ton with 1t. Any manufacturer could mako
goods cheaper if he could be rid OF certain
of the overhead charges such as the erec-
ton Of buildings. and could have freedom
from strikes and public maintenance Of his
workers The owner of negro slaves felt
some interest in the health Of his human
property, for il vas mis- property, and had
a money value. The contractor who EN-
ploys prison labor has not that incentive
even for taking thought for his workers.

state TO furnish him with another TO take
the place Of the man who has fallen.
But what shall be done with the prison

This is where the idealistic penologist
sucn as Mr.. Within steps up with his pro-
gramme. Let the prisoner work for the
state, says he Working for the state Is
mere stimulating than working for con-
tractors, whose interest In him is con
fined to his capacity as piece OF ma
chinery Let him work at the labor for
which he is best fitted and in which his
Interests lie. All kinds OF labor can be
found represented in prisons. II the
prisoner does not possess trade teach
