Canal Zone Criminals.

| Treatment of criminals at the Cana
Zone is discussed by Edward T. Devine
who gives, in The Survey, his impress
sions OF social and civic problems at the
isthmus. He says:
"There are some $50 convicts in the
penitentiary on an average, and they
are employed largely in road building
and other outdoor work They wear the
/ striped clothing of the states prison
tradition. Also. alas for the first three
months, while at work. they wear the
ball and chain, which saves guards. and
as the chief of police thinks, some lives,
for if the convicts were not chained the
guards would have to shoot more freely
when escape is attempted.
THE ball and chain and the striped
clothes are rough means of classified
ton, but it seems little hard on a man
sentenced for three months that the
most exemplary conduct secures gradu-
alton from the lowest grade only on the
expiration of his term.
AN army officer was once conveying
some military convicts from Fort Smell
ling to Fort Leavenworth. all of whom
were heavily encountered with the ball
and chain. They came to place in
changing trains where it was necessary
either to cross trestle, which the pris-
oners could not do in their chains. or
make long and tedious detour. The
officer did not relish the prospect and
said as much, whereupon the leading
spirit among the prisoners after look
OF free masonry among his comrades,
said: Captain, il you don't mind. Just
to accommodate you. we will take these
things off. Without further permission
or assistance they sat down and pulled |
off their boots and the irons. carried |
them across the trestle and then all in |
good humor and patience put them on |
again They had some misgivings as to |
whether other Fort Smelling prisoners /
might not lose the advantage of the ar
which they had had with the
accommodating blacksmith.
"The canal authorities might pos
sibly find that if they would let their
'onyicts slip off the chain they would
lot only build more road. but would
'lso get more safely over the difficult bit
II road which separates the life of a
from that of a law abiding
itizen."

Planning a Steel City.

Gary, Ind, has attracted country wide
attention because of its startlingly ran.
id growth. But study of some of the
towns civic and social problems, writ,
ten by Graham Romeyn Taylor in The
Survey. indicates that all is not as il
might be. Referring to the planning OF
the town he says;
The contrast between the arrange
ment and team work of these great
plants and the rule-of- thumb planning
of Gary, the city, is evident. The street
plan Is the old-fashioned rectangular
gridiron. To anyone who has glanced
even cursorily over few of the forty
odd city plan reports which have been
made for American cities in the last dec
ade, nothing is more evident than the
effort to break up such rectangular
street arrangement by diagonal direct
routes. These can cut cross town trav-
ell in two and add beauty and variety
to the scheme of thoroughfares.
at does not take much of stretch
OF imagination to see the future Gary
employing a city planner, whose re-
port will propose belated diagonal streets
streets cut at great expense through
built-up sections.
III no way cOulu the municipal OIL
eials of Gary render more important
service to their community, and incl
dentally go the steel corporations one
better in making an orderly and beauti-
full city, than by bringing in expert city
planners while the place is still plas-
tic
while the plan of Gary NAV fall
short in its community features. there
are those who see in it an extraordinary
degree of industrial strategy. They
spread before you a map of the region
and point out that the plants, with
Lake Michigan on the north, are sep
arated from the people on the south by |
the Great Calumet river, which would 1

possible mob violence in times Of stress. !
With the lake front so extensively con

Binders for Fuel Briquets.

! Experience in European countries and
Investigations made at the fuel-testing
plant of the United States geological
survey at st. Louis. and later by the
bureau of mines at Pittsburgh, have
shown that Ignite may be successfully
briquetted without the use of any ad-
ditional binding material, and that the
most satisfactory binders for anthracite,
semi-anthraeite, bituminous, and sub.
bituminous Goals are coal-tar pitch, and
asphaltic pitch gas-tar pitch, and as,
phaltic pitch, or inexpensive cementing
mixtures that are practically water

Great Hopes From Panama Canal.

The coast cities, from Seattle to Sa-
vannah, from Portland to Pensacola,
have been spending money like water
to bring freight down to ocean front
instead of letting it go across the con
tinent Pensacola, Mobile, New Orleans,
Houston, and Los Angeles have all put
in municipal dock systems insuring the
same treatment to railways and ocean
liners; municipal belt-line railroads to
forward and switch freight, so that rail
roads cannot discriminate against steam
ships, other than their own, by extra
charge concealed in switching" bills,
says Agnes c. Laut in May Technical
World Magazine.
San Francisco is spending nine mill
lions on her harbor. Portland has inst
tuted municipal stevedoring and also
runs a line of river boats up the Co.
lumbia to connect the great inland en-
pire for 400 miles by water with ocean
front. Seattle is connecting salt water
up Salmon Arms to Lake Washington
giving shipping fresh water anchorage.
which doubles the value of the harbor
for numbering purposes and does away
with the enormous waste from ocean
tornadoes BY the time Panama opens.
Seattle will boast terminal system
equal to Brooklyn or New York.
Up at Vancouver and Prince Rupert,
the terminals of the Canadian trans
continentals, equally important plans
were under way to bring freight down
to tidewater, instead of sending it across
the continent. That is, plans were UNI
der way up to the time of the passing
of the Panama bill, excluding railroad
owned ships.

GARDEN EMBRACES
FINDER OF GEMS
Opera Singer Rewards Hotel Porter With
Both Kisses and
Money.

Denver, April 4.-After concluding
her role in "Thais' at the auditorium
Friday night, Mary Garden called taxi
cab and was driven to the Brown Palace
hotel In alighting from the car she
dropped $4,000 brooch and also an
emerald ring valued at $4,000.
Miss Garden telephoned early Satur-
day morning to John Barry, head por-
ter Of the hotel, and asked him to find
the gems if possible. After long search,
he discovered the missing brooch lying
on the sidewalk in front of the ho-
tel.
When he carried the brooch to the
singers apartment, Miss Garden threw
her arms about his neck and kissed
him with vigor and often, and then drew
out purse from which she extracted
a roll of bills which she passed into
the astonished porter's hand and begged
him to keep up the search for the ring.
Barry says the kisses were not OF
the stage variety, but real ones.

Liquor Traffic Essentially Lawless. Says
Governor Ben. w. Hooper of Tenn,

If | could sink one thought deep into
the minds of the great masses of the
people. it would be the truth that there
can be no peace between the whisky IN
terests and the law. until the law has
completely triumphed.
The whisky traffic is essentially law
less. If you regulate it, it violates the
regulations. II YOU segregate it, il sneaks
across the forbidden line. IL sells to
minors and drunkards in violation Of the
law, and opens the back door when the
front door is ordered closed.
When we had the legalized saloon, il
was the center of all lawlessness. IL
was the curse of the rich and the poor,

The saloon must go. The conscience
