DETENTION HOUSE
SCORED AS UNFIT
Changes Recommended by
Sheriff and Women Members
of Parental Home Board.

Letters condemnine the House IF
Detention were received by the Board
of Freeholders yesterday from Sheriff
John f. Monahan and Mrs. Sidney
NJ. Colgate. chairman of the civic
committee of the Woman's Club OF
Orange and trustee of the proposed
Essex County Parental Home
The sheriff stated that he visited
the home in company with Mrs. Col
gate and Mrs. f. c. jacobson, also q
trustee of the parental home, and
that they had found a number Of
things at the institution that were
not to their liking.
In regard to the conditions found
a the building, Sheriff Monahan said:
81 have been informed on good au-
thority that the chairs now in use
at the House of Detention, and which
in their present condition are not fit
for any institution. were second hand
when brought into the place, having
been brought there from the old in
sane asylum in South Orange avenue
some years ago. Most of them are
without backs or rungs and are unfit
for use
I'VE find that there is not enough
help to run me institution in a proper
manner"
The recommendations of Mrs. Col
gate included new flooring through
out the building, new toilets, new
chairs in the dining-rooms, steel
lockers to replace the wardrobes, a
sewing machine, painting for the cell
lar, and curtains at windows. She
also suggests compulsory baths and
medical inspection daily, and that
efficient instructors be employed for
both boys and girls.
Constant supervision night and day
is urged, and it is suggested that the
clothing worn by the children while
detained be made by the industrial
department of the penitentiary at
Caldwell, the clothes worn by them
when they arrive TO be washed and
sterilized and put aside until they
leave.
"These suggestions" the commune
cation points out, ARE not palliative
since they do not cover the necessities
Of the institution, but they can be put
into immediate effect with the present
inadequate building, pending further
enlargement or removal to another
site. " Should the present building be
enlarged, the following suggestions
are submitted:
Resident quarters for attendants
segregation of certain delinquents
preferably separate room for eacf
child, hospital accommodations, a less
public method of transporting Juve'
niles to court or else hold the Juvenile
Court at the House of Detention, 9

DLAMES LAW FOR
DELAY IN PAVING
Director Evans, of Freeholders,
Explains Position in South
Orange Ave. Work.

! Director Walter A. Evans, of the
Board of Freeholders, yesterday made
public d statement explaining why
! there had been a delay in the repay
! ing of South Orange avenue in the
! Vailsburg section. He explained that
the Legislature of 1919 had taken the
g., power to do the repaVing out of the
/ hands of the Board of Freeholders
and that efforts to get the law re
pealed or amended had failed up 10
the present time.
Mr. Evans's statement follows:
"A great many property owners on
South Orange avenue in the city of
Newark, from Twentieth street to the
South orange Village line, taking in
the Vaisburg section, which is now
a part of the city of Newark, are
under the impression that the Board
of Freeholders are delinquent in the
matter of the repaving of South Or
ange avenue, while as a matter of fact
the Board of Freeholders has abso-
lutely nothing to do with the matter
as the law now stands. The facts are
as follows:
1T is conceded by everybody that
this avenue, between the points above
mentioned, should be repaved and the
plans and specifications for such work
have been approved by the county
engineer and have been approved by
the State road commissioner.
Chapter 60 of the Laws of 1919
took out of the hands of the Board
of Chosen Freeholders the right to
repave county roads lying within the
limits of a city having a population
of over 1900, and placed the eNclu-
sive jurisdiction and control of such
roads upon the municipality.
1.-THE Board of Freeholders did
everything in it's power at the last
session OF the Legislature to have
this law amended or repealed so as to
give the Board Of Freeholders the
right to repave South Orange avenue
the same as other county roads are
repaved. so that so per cent. of the
cost of such repaving would be borne
by the county and the State, and
only 10 per cent. would be paid by
the abutting property owners. In |
spite of the efforts of the legislative
committee of the Board of Freehold |
ers, the last Legislature failed to re-

from a cancer into an organ.
This, with but little doubt, 1.
the historic mission of women
They will not escape a certain
tanning by politics. But that they
should be permanently tanned
find impossible to believe. Rath-
or they will subdue politics to
their purposes, remold 1t nearer
to their hearts desire, change II
as men would never dream of
changing 1t. wreck 1t savagely in
the face of our masculine protest
and merrily rebuild it anew In the
face of our despair. With their
aid we may at last achieve what
we seem to be unable to achieve
unaided-a democracy.
Meanwhile let US understand
this suffrage movement. Let us
understand that we have in mill
fancy, rather than in Cancellation;
in action, rather than in wisdom,
the keynote of woman in politics.
And We males. who have so long
played in our politics as innocent
games of war, shall have an
opportunity to fight ia earnest at
the side of the Valkyrs."

to places of amusement in the
evening rather than the after
noon. Scat! Any woman who
takes that attitude is inspired not
by love, but by the spirit Of do
nestle tyranny. She's determined
to make an unwilling man go
with her just to show that she
can triumph over him.
However, compromise is a good
thing in matrimony, as it is else
where in the world, and it has al
ways seemed to me that it would
be a good way to settle this
question for the wife to demand
and receive cooks privilege Of
an evening off every week. 1t
wouldn't hurt a man either in
health or pocket to give his wife
one little treat a week, and 1t
would freshen and brighten her
UP amazingly, and keep her from
nagging him the balance of the
time.
AS Thursday Is the maids day
out, SO let Saturday night be sa-
cred with husbands to the enter
tanning of their wives. On that
evening let them take their wives
to the theater, or to a restau-
rant for dinner, or a friends for
bit of a party 1t would break
the deadly grind of domesticity
for the women and rob them Of
their cause Of complaint.
For, after all, marriage is no
picnic to woman, and just being
married to a man isn't all the
amusement she requires. Nor is
it exciting to spend all your even
ings sitting up looking at a man
who Is as dumb as an oyster and
as unresponsive as a clam.
MatrimOny needs some sort of
outside amusement to cheer If
along, for both men and women.

through Forbes & Co, of Chicago,
some six or seven studies Of the
present leaders of the feminist
movement. Mr.. Dell gives US this
rather poignant argument for
woman suffrage:
Can anyone doubt the effect
which the mergence of women
into politics will have, eventually,
on politics? Eventually, for Gin
spite of their boasted independ-
ence) the decorous example Of
men will rule them at first. But
when they have become used to
politics-well we shall find that
we have harnessed an unruly Nj
agara!
I'm women as voters we shall
have an element impatient Of re-
straint, straining at the rules OF
procedure. cynical, of excuses for
inaction: not always, by any
means, on the side of progress

ignorance and self-conceit. but
