more than a million dollars in excess
Of what they had been paying on be-
fore. 1t was Mr.. Spencer's time to
jubilate. In vain did the jokers plead
and coax Even a worm will turn"
commented the alert assessor. A di-
gest OF the returns he made shows
that he had an intimate knowledge of
the personal property of the people
with whom he took auto rides and at
tended elite social functions.
Bars Favoritism In Pen.
No more favoritism will be possi
BILE in the granting Of paroles at the
penitentiary. Warden Thomas has
cided to establish a department of
justice at that institution, and every
inmate will be given an equal chance
for parole. Heretofore only those
who could afford to pay we'll for at
torneys stood much chance Of getting
out. The warden has also barred
all attorneys. This will put an end
to fine picking that shyster lawyers
who have found the unfortunate per-
sons behind the prison walls their
special prey. The new department
will have a complete record of every
prisoner. Every many deserving of
consideration for parole will have his
case brought up before the state ad-
ministration without the necessity
upon his part of hiring lawyer. The
plan will furnish an incentive for pris
oners to improve their conduct.
Every man will know that upon his
behavior will depend his chances to
get out.
Interest Shown in Movement.
Considerable interest is being shown
in the statewide campaign for better
babies, which has been started by Mrs.
Maud Murray Miller, the brilliant ed
itor of the Human Progress Depart
ment of the Columbus Dispatch. She
has completed arrangements for a Sc
ries of tests of babies, the scoring to
be based on the method agreed upon
by the New York experts. The first
test will be at a local settlement house
and will include babies from seven
different nationalities. Other tests
will be made soon thereafter. It is
proposed to have a final test at the
state fair, and any baby in the state
will be eligible to enter. Mrs. Miller
is trying to awaken the public to a
realization that it is of vital impor.
tance that mothers should be aducated
to learn how to develop and train ba.
bies so they will become healthy
happy and useful men and women
Mrs. Miller is a member of the board
of women visitors for state and benev
olent institutions, having been ap
pointed by former Gov. Harmon. Hell

institutions have been recognized by
the state. She was for five years or
