LIKES THE PRISON STEAKS
ed-Says Federal Meals Are
Exceedingly Good.

Chicago.-Clarence A. Kohl grinned
and shook hands cordially with gov
eminent officers who rearrested him
as he was being discharged upon COM
pleting two years Imprisonment at
Leavenworth penitentiary.
During that two years I tasted
more tenderloin and sirloin steaks
than I ever expect to see while at lib
erty," explained Kohl upon his arrival
in Chicago.
The prisoner said the federal prison
at Leavenworth was the best boarding
house he ever had patronized, and that
it was also a frst-class place to room.
Kohl was arrested in Chicago more
than two years ago, and convicted Of
having used the mails to defraud. He
had operated a mail order grocery.
While awaiting sentence he jumped
his bond. Then he committed the
same offense in Pittsburgh and was
sentenced to two years Imprisonment
Now he is awaiting sentence for his
former misdeeds. He was also known
as C. Alvin.

Kept on DAWN"

Anthony Comstock at a luncheon In
New York said of certain tabooed
books and plays:
THE motive of these works was per-
haps all right But the expression, the
form, was bad. And that spoiled the
motive completely.
Expression, form, you know, is
everything. Consider how the lack of
it spoiled the mason's speech.
"A mason at a memorial service
said of bricklayer who had been &C
cidentally killed:
yes, gents, looked out once on
the beauties of nature, and all vas
calm. Our friend, deceased here, was
layin' brick. l looked out once
again, and still all was cam. but our
