GRAND JURY OPPOSED

Card playing by he inmates Of the
county jail is uplifting rather than de-
generating to men confined in the Jail
according to the attaches Of the in
stitution who are not favorable to
the recommendation of the grand jury
that the prisoners be deprived OF the
privilege of playing cards.
"The card playing has not been
stopped as yet, though if the citizens
and officials believe after thoroughly
considering the matter that the cards
should be taken away l will do So
said Sheriff Bayer. 'The prisoners
are all well treated and it has been
the policy of the jail attaches to
trust them as much as possible. None
of the men have betrayed their trusts
while working at the court house for
the past few months and it will make
our work harder if we aggravate the
men by prohibiting card paying.
men who have their minds occu-
pied with such harmless past time
as card playing are not as apt to think
or devise the mischief which they
might start if they were idling about
the Jail without anything else to think
of.
eff the men had a place to work
they would be better satisfied and are
always willing to do anything we ask.
They want something to divert their
minds and the punishment is just as
great whether they are allowed to
play cards or whether they kill time

COMPANY MAY HIVE
NEW CASTLE BRANCH
Adam H. Bartel Company Is
Unable to Secure Work
ing Girls. -.

AS a result of the scarcity of work
ing girls in this city, in all probability
s branch factory of the Adam H. Bar
sel company will be constructed at
Newcastle, Ind.
For several months the various fac
tories in this city have been advertis-
ag for working girls, though they
have received very few applications
for work. Nearly all of the work of
the Adam Bartel company is done by
girls, and the supply of that kind of
abor is exhausted in this community,
Ar. Bartel believes.
The Commercial Club of Newcastle
has not made proposition to the To-
cal company as yet though a very
flattering proposition has been made
by one of the Newcastle citizens, it
is, said.
THE main offices and factory of the
company will be in this city. 1t is
estimated that between $4,000 and
$4,000 worth of business is lost each
year by the company because of the
lack of help ~-~r---e -.--s--.--- ---
The fact that working girls are in
demand here is considered a great
handicap to the city. 1t is believed
that more factories employing girls
would be located here If more girls
could be employed. 1t is expected
that the passage of the eight-hour law
which provides for a shorter working
day for girls. now pending in the state
legislature. will remedy conditions to
a great extent. According to local en-
ployers, more girls VIII be induced to
work In the factories IL the hours are
shortened.

Primitive Breadmaking,

The Arabs adhere to those ancestral
principles of breadmaking which have
been sanctioned by the experience OF
ages. The very first baker of bread
that ever lived must have done his
work exactly as the Arab does at this
day. He takes some meal and holds
1t ont in the hollow of his hands while
bis comrade pOurs over it few drops
of water. He then mashes up the
moistened -four into paste. pulls the
lump of dough SO made into small
pieces and thrusts them into the EN-
bers. His way of baking exactly re-
sembles the craft or mystery of roast
