Those Youngsters of Yours

l Then. there's the girl. While it's
natural to think that some day she will
marry, you can't get away from the
thought, suppose she doesn't!'
81 You have made up your mind that
as long as she lives at home you will
provide for her. But what will happen
if death overtakes you? You know
her chances with the world won't be
one, two, three.
q So for her welfare, we suggest the
Trust Fund.
g Establish such fund at this bank
for her. Pay into it sums of money
large or small, as you find it convenient
to do so. Then if death comes it will
not leave her helpless in the world.
q It's fine thing to properly start the
young man and young woman out in
the world. Its an easy matter if you
adopt the p lans suggested.
81 Those youngsters of yours are "the
best in the world" Set in motion now
the machinery that will give them the
proper start in after years.

BETTER HOUSING
 CONDITIONS
Movement Locally Is Gathering Impetus As Committee
 Meets

With view towards narshaEllng their forces and forming a campaign against the tenement-house evil and poor housing conditions in Bridgeport the executive committee or the Bridgeport Housing association met at the Algonquin club yesterday. Among those present were David s. Day, president, W. R. webster, A. B. Mac donald, Spencer R. Gordon and Leet B. Myers.
 Among the unfavorable conditions reported was the tendency to erecr big tenements instead of one and two family houses, the placing of dark toilets and hallway todleRsj against sanitary and moral rules. The laxity upon the part of owners and tenants in keeping their yards and cellars cleaned and other subjects were dis meeting will be called in the near future.

 within it is different. True. indeed the symbols are still very much in evil dence but the general atmosphere which pervades the place makes one, somehow or other. forget these ma terial things.
 The' atmosphere isl that produced by the Golden Rule in application. The surroundings and treatment are such as might make an inmate re- gret past deeds. but not. brood over them. Somehow. strange to say per haps of such a pIace.sa feeling of hope and optinlasn seems to pervade the whole Institution.

HOW saTHE LADIES"
ARE TREATED


 The fact that everyone of the wom- env prisoners who have been confined for any time at the jail have always gained in weight is a splendid proof of the good treatment which they re ceive.
 The naatron visits them each morn ing at 8 o'clock to see that all are well, and againsat noon and in the evening shesis. of@scourse. always there for any special cases which may come up. If any of the prisoners are. i'll and need air she walks them about the grounds.
 One interesting fact concerning the women is that no matter how ragged and soiled their clothes may be when they come into the jail. everything is mended and spotEessly clean when they leave it. Shoes. underwear and house dresses are provided for their use while they are confined at the in stitution. Often, when their clothes E are not worth mending and cleaning. others are furnished them when they are ready to go into the world again.
 Each Sunday services are held in the chapel. Mass. is said at o'clock by one of the priests of St Patricl's church and at 10 a Protestant ser vice is: conducted by the Rev. MT. simpson While but few of the wo- men. as a rule care to go. the men usually hn up the seats at both ser vices.
 THE JAmfs NEW LIBRARY
 Another pleasant feature at the jail Is the library of Interesting books which has been recently donated by the. Connecticut Prison Association. The prisoners are allowed to take these and they derive much pleasure from them
 The work in the gardens about the jail is done by rustfes and short term men. The grounds are really beau tiful.
 Since sherin vol1mer has had charge of the Jail no criminal has es- capped from it; and because of the splendid treatment accorded them, few have ever wanted to escape. Certainly among the institutions of which Bridgeport may be proud it's Fairfield County Jail. as it is now con ducted under Sheriff volImer holds a high place.

We crossed to the other sidesof the building where the men who have been sentenced are confined. Here most of the men have madeesthe cells as homelfaxe 3as possible It is interesting to see how well kept some of these are.
 CELLS FITTED UP IaKE DENs The cot beds are arranged perfect ly. numerous pictures and similar or naments decorate the white washed walls and such articles as clocks. knick knacks, magazines ard books transform the cell into a very cozy den. Of. course this is not true of all the cells for it depends upon the char acter of the man himself and illus trates what can be done if he so wishes.
 I was given an opportunity to talk with some of the prisoners and to ask them if they were treated we11,'' at the jail and without exception they answered in decidedly affirmative terms.
 One of the most noticeable feat ures of the institution is it's scrupu- lons cleanliness Every bit of the floor. the cells and walls are abso- lutelys clean and there is no sugges- ton of an odor. The floor is scrub
 
 bed each day with antiseptics.
 The jailers. spoke most highly of the trusties and hall men whom they said were very capable and efficient.
 .sThe Cooler. that dark and much dreaded cell was not in use. despite the fact that there are more than 200 confined in the jail,s nor has it, been used for the past three months. [ was told that in the past three years that Sheriff vo1lmer has had charge of the institution it has prob ably not been used 20 times. The sheriff's methods of dealing with prisoners do not require :'coo1ers'' to carry them out.
 WHERE THE PRISONERS WORK We visited the leather shop where hides are prepared for different uses and the stone company where ee- ment blocks are made. The stone is quarried behind the prison. crushed until, ttsis quite fine and then mixed with the cement. After this opera ton, it is pressed by machinery into blocks of various shapes Frank .E. Clark of this, city has had charge of this for s2 years. The work in both of these places is done by the prison CTS through a contract which the county has with the different com panies.

been discharged after serving a term for stealing. The friendly and oblig- ing assistant JaiIers. Elias A. Tibbals and Frank T. Saunders were also in. the office.
 From the office. one enters the wis itors' room where the prisoners may meet their relatives or friends. A substantial screen separates the in. mates from the visitors however and prevents the passage of anything Soth- CT. than words between them.
 THE JAnis TAILOR SHOP
 On the floor above on the right hand side of the building, the prison CTS who are awaiting. trial are kept! At the head of the stairs is the tailor. shop. and here a man is kept busy cleaning. pressing and mending the clothes of the prisoners who are ready to go out into the world again. Each fellow who goes out, no matter what the condition of his clothes when he entered. has a clean and respectable looking suit in which to start again.
 From the tailor shop we went into the adjoining room Here is a. long barred pen, with doors opening into ] it from smaller cells. Men of divers descriptions were confined here. some walking about, some sitting in the sun and some reading. The men in this part of the building, not having been sentenced. do not have to work Tn the refractory cells, which are darker than those on the other side of the building, are confined those who will not willingly obey. There were only one or two prisoners in these and. I am glad to say. l. could see no difference between the cells ex- cept that these had less light than | those on the other side.

and inquiry as to '.how they ara feel ing to-day" with a sm1ling answer. and you. yourself win realize what Sheriff vollmer means in the lives of these people.
 He has told me himself. that he regards them as unfortunates who either through some weakness or through some great misfortune have been driven to break the law.
 The grievances of the inmates against the jail are settled in a novel way. The Sheriff instfucts them that whenever they have any fault to find. they must write 1t, enclose it in a sealed envelope and address it to him. In this way he is able to recti- fy anything that troubles his charges.
 MRS. yoLIMER AIDS WOMEN
 A capable companion to the sher- if is his cheerful wife. Manyya way ward girl or more wayward woman has found a ready and a. willing friend in Mrs. vollmer. Many of them too. who were almost continu- .ously at the jail have taken her ad- vice and have not been back since she helped them sonto the road of right living When 2 girI.has been will ing to work and to become .'stra1ght'' she has frequently found places for them with respectable families where they would be looked out for and it has been a source of much pleasure to her that most of these girls have been Exclaimed. : .l.

It hap pened to be "corned beef and cab bage day. and large portions of these .edfb1es were placed in each tin basin which serves as plate to the prison CT. This is similar in shape to a veg etable dish. A huge boiled potato was also in each basin. Besides this there was bread. good. fresh bread, such as. ohe buys at the best stores.
 The Sheriff is exceedingly particuz lar about the. food of the prisoners. Groceries bought in bulk. such as beans. rice, corn meal and oat meal, are kept in clean covered barrels.
 FOOD FRESH AND CLEAN
 The bread is brought, clean and fresh each day and the meat while Of course not being of the finest cuts, is fresh and of a very good quality. T was shown some salt pork which they happened to have in the ice box. which was really excellent. !, When ever the least thing is found the mat ter with any Of the food it is sent back where it was purchased.

This also applies to the men prisoners When they are i'll they may call for a priest or minister if they wish to do so.

MRS. HUBERT DENT.

A group of congressional women were
having tea together one afternoon. The
talk turned on the methods by which
a woman MAY best advance the po-
litical career of her husband. one wo-
man thought careful attention to dress
and generous entertaining Were first aids
to the man in politics. Most of them,
however, agreed that the wife who stood
by her husbands side on the hustings,
and who went with him to every cross
roads in his district. had rendered him
the greatest aid. From these opinions
there was one dissenting voice 1t was
that of Mrs Hubert Dent, wife of Rep
resentative Dent of Montgomery, Ala
