Hitherto it has confined Its operations
to Europe, Africa and Australia, where
It has wreaked havoc. but now 1t has
made ita appearance In this country.
The government experts, IN warning
the growers OF onions, did not mini
nixe the gravity OF the appearance
here OF the eelworm. 1t seems imper-
yious to chemical remedies that have
been tried for It's eradication and the
eggs of the insect. the experts declare,

tie on one of the locomotives in o.

revolver DueIs in Club With Bullets Made Of Wax

m UELING practice with regulation
~ 44-caliber revolvers and wax bull
let's will be feature of the instruc-
ton at the Washington Fencers club,
which will open its new home in Con-

near future The duelists will face

apart They will be protected with
wire masks and body guards. The
hand gripping the revolver will be
guarded by metal shield, which Is ad-
Unstable to any style Of weapon.
M. Francois Darrieulat, maitre
d'armes Of the club, has sent to Paris
for the dueling outfits, and expects to
have them ready before the opening of
the season. The shells for the mock
duels are loaded with sufficient pow
der to propel the wax proJectile in a
straight line for 60 feet with sufi-
cient force to make it stick to the
mask or clothing or the victim" of
the attack.
The wax bullet will shoot as true
as lead bullet, yet will not injure the
participants" said M. Darrieulat.
THE head will be guarded by a
strong saber mask This practice will
be excellent for army officers and 9TH
ers who wish to learn to shoot accu-
rately. The novelty Of having another
person for target and being tar
get at the same time ought to appeal
to persons in Washington as it has ap-
pealed to revolver shots in Paris.

In New Jersey the convicts are handled lit,
tie differently, but the object is the same. Here
the guards have not thrown away their guns,
but the firearms are not in evidence and the
casual visitor to the convict camp scarcely can
tell which are the keepers and which convicts.
Woodrow Wilson, when he was governor OF
New Jersey thought he saw way to solve some
of the problems presented by the state prisons.
He outlined his idea to the state prison labor
commission and turned over to that body, togeth-
er with the state road commissioner, the task
of working out his ideas The result of President
Wilson's suggestions is Don't Worry Camp" the
first of the road convict camps to be established
in New Jersey.
This is very much like any other summer
camp, except that it is better equipped One
large room holds the convicts' beds, while in a
projecting ell there is space for five guards,
whose beds are so placed that every square foot
of the convicts' quarters can be seen through a
glass partition This is the only suggestion OF
surveillance, except for the locks that are placed
on the doors at night. The convfcts room con-
tains a shower-bath and other facilities. The
ventilation is scientific and the floor, walls, cell
ing and beds spotless. Two former chefs,
now convicts, preside in the kitchen and prepare
the meals which include meat twice day and
plenty of fresh vegetables.
All the buildings in the camp were construct
ed by the convicts themselves, without any cut
side help, save where expert workmanship such
as could not be furnished by the convicts, was
needed After the camp was completed the con-
victs were put to work on the nearby roads
Asphalt roads are to be laid and culverts and
bridges constructed, and In this connection Is
seen one of the chief benefits of the new sys-
tenn, SO far as the convicts are concerned. The
prisoners will have opportunity to learn the
masteries Of scientific road-making, a profession
which is not overcrowded. Those prisoners who
show an interest in the work will be promoted to
responsible positions and viii be In position to
secure well-paid jobs when their terms expire
the authorities believe
While these few states have been taking the
lead in the efforts to solve the problem of CON
vict labor, other states have been studying the
question OF how best to direct the labor of the
states ward, both for his own interest and that
of the state, and rapid progress is predicted
along these lines during the next few years BY
those familiar with penal conditions thFoughouf
the country.

PostofFce Tower Loses Its Light Mystery

why have been met with a mysterious
look just like that with which they
were answered when they asked
why" during the days succeeding the
first appearance of the glare.
1t is true that Mr. Hitchcock once in
answer to query as to the why's and
wherefores OF this dazzling illumina-
ton said, ASK Mr.. Weed" Mr.. Weed
was then the chief clerk OF the post
office department. He in turn was
asked the wherefore OF the light. and
he said, Ask Mr.. Hitchcock"
The appearance OF the Light and its
disappearance are dark mysteries.
Some one said that the blaze was orig
inally kindled to brighten from their
nightly roosting place pair OF falcons
which preyed on the domestic pigeons
of the capital. The falcons, however,
were seen after the light had burned
for some time. Now the light is out,
and perhaps economy has something
to do with It, The chances are that
few people In Washington would care
much about 1t one way or the other
IL It were not for the obstinacy OF the
government officials of two admins
trations in refusing to answer plain
peoples questions as to why the cleo
trio switch originally was turned on
and afterwerd was turned OF. The
attitude of the officials is that Of the

without guards-some 800 miles away from the
prison--have created national reputation for
loyalty. Less than one per cent have violated
their pledges by successful escape. Commune
ties no longer fear to have our convict camps
established near them. We have made manhood
as we'll as money by this healthy, hearty out
door labor We have built the prisoners up both
physically and morally. Men discharged from
our road camps do not have the prison pailor,
the physical weakness and the hesitatng, hang

Wet They are bronzed, sturdy, healthy, efficient
~laborers and are in demand as such About 80
per cent. of those we have sent from the camps
on the completion of their terms have made
good The other 20 per cent have mostly found
their way back into prison elsewhere.
Under tde Colorado system. the convict is
allowed ten days off his sentence for each month
of labor performed the roads. This is in
addition to the usual reduction made for good
behavior There are other incentives for the
convicts to so conduct themselves that they will
be put at work on the roads, according to War
den lyman. For thing he says, the man
who is allowed to leave the prison for the road
camp practically has seen the last of prison II

ter his clothing is better. He has not constant
ly before his eyes the guns OF the guards to
remind him that he is convicted criminal and

AS 10 the economic side of the question war
den lyman is just as optimistic HE declares
that the state has saved large amount of
money ard that it will save hundreds OF thou-
sands of dollars during the next ten years
through the use OF convict labor on the ROADS.
With reference to the cost OF maintaining the
convcts in the road camps, Warden lyman gives
some statistics.
In one of our camps, he says, we worked
35 men. not including the camp help, one month.
The maintenance OF each of these men cost the
state exactly % cents per day The total cost
of all the work for the month including salaries.

the penitentiaries have been employed at various
times in the construction Of highways.
But the modern idea Of convict road labor is new
and it is only just beginning to appear in various
parts of the United States. The old idea-where
convict labor employed the roads-was
merely to utilize the labor of the convicts to the
best advantage to the state-to make the convict
produce as large revenue possible, in order tc
repay the state for the expense Of maintaining its
