Utilizing Prison Labor. Cleveland Plain Dealer. !

Ohio expects to save more than a million in the construction of the new state prison in Madison county through the employment of convict labor. When Andrew l.. Harris was governor it was estimated that to build the kind of a penitentiary the state needed would cost at least S2,- 6OO,00O. The prison commission now declares a much finer institu- tion than was then planned will be built for not to exceed $1,300, 900.
 Prison labor constitutes the differ ence. Men in custody of the state will be utilized to make brick from material on the site, to cut and dress timber now growing on the tract for the use in the buildings, and for the actual labor of erection.
 At the Mansfield reformatory moro prison labor will be utilized further to reduce the cost of the development in Madison county. Furniture and fixtures for the new prison offices and library will be manufactured there and shipped
 The abuses of the old contract sys- tenn in utilizing convict labor were many, and the system itself was abol- ished in response to humane public sentiment, but when the state uses its wards for such purposes as these the situation is entirely different. 1t is an excellent plan, not alone because of the economy to be effected but because it will confer a benefit on the prisoners themselves

SPECULATIVE STOCKS
 BECOME DEADLOCKED
Professional Traders Wtaker- Great Northern Ore Declines One Point.

New York, April 6, Wall St., 10:45 A. M.-The opening of the week in the stock market found speculative conditions virtually unchanged and the early trading was of the same colorless character as on Saturday. Only nominal amount of outside business had come in over the week end, and professional traders did lit- tie. None of the active stocks varied more than a small fraction on the first transaction. The light demand revealed the same scarcity of stocks which has been characteristic for some time, and after the opening the market gradually hardened.
 Closing-The market closed steady. Speculation was deadlocked in the final hour. Great Northern Ore came into prominence with a decline of a point. Last prices were virtually un- changed from Saturdays close.

piled, why don't you stay

Bill walked on home to get

he could with Emily and his
folks until train time and
talk over their plans for the

How Bill Got Along
~

THE next day Bill walked
L around looking at all the
old landmarks in his home
town. This place has sure
changed a whole lot. Seems
awful dinky and slow, and all
the things | used to think
We're great look comic now. "
He met some of the boys he
used to know and told them
about New York. There was
one young man in particular,
who, after Bill had walked on,
followed along and asked Bill
what he thought Of his going
to New York too; and did Bill
think he could make good
there.
Like all questions, it was
very hard to answer, as II all
rests with young men them
selves. They might try it and
be utter failures and cultivate
surroundings they would re
greet in after years, or they
might be successful right from
the start. 1t all rests with the
boy himself, and there are no
two alike in the world.
Bill had known this young

gest to the eve a stability that is
one Of the great requisites for an
aeroplane that would attempt an
ocean flight. The car takes the
form of a boat, while the machin-
cry forms a conspicuous part of
the whole The tail structure IN
the middle, just ahead Of the pro-
peller, consists Of the radiators
for cooling the engines. Could
such a fiier alight on the surface
Of the sea, and then resume its
flight, like a migrating bird re-
freshed by a rest on the grading
waves?
That remains to be seen. But
when the crossing of the Atlantic
with aeroplanes has become as
ordinary IN affairs as their pres
ent land flights. there will be no
descending upon the water, ex-
cept in case of accident The
flight will be one long pull, like
the voyage of a liner" with no
rest between shore and shore.
One of the terrors that the
thought of crossing the ocean by
aeroplane has always summoned
up is that Of the plight in which
the adventures would find them
selves if a storm wind should
strike them in mid-Atlantic. That
fear has been robbed of some of
its strength within the past year,
for the experiments of Pegoud
and others have shown that it is
possible to fly in the face of va
riable winds blowing 40 or 90
miles an hour
