WANTS A CENTRAL
BOARD To HANDLE
SOCIAL MAT TIERS

OAKLAND, Cal, Oct Is. - Strong
endorsement of the establishment Of
centralized boards with broad powers
for governing state penal and correc-
tsonal institutions was given to the
convention of the American Prison
Association today by R. H. Lindley-
vice president of the Wisconsin state
board of control, in report from the
association of governing boards.
81 believe in the centralizing sys-
tenn for all social matters" he said. In
fact believe that there should be one
federal social center that would form
ulate policies and methods to meet all
social needs and that in every state
there should be one central social bu-
reau that would formulate all policies
governing social matters and all pol
icies in reference to the administering
of charities and relief.
AT present the administering of all
kinds of poor relief locally by the
counties, cities and towns, is done very
ineficiently. This is due to the fact
that their is no central department
and no central head to formulate pol
icies or provide efficient methods"
DR.. Lindley though that the slow
growth Of the centralized authority
idea il mary states was due to the OPP
position of the various boards in
charge Of the several institutions, the
proper information concerning the
system thus being kept from the state
legislatures. He reinforced his argu-
mems by a lengthy history of the
Wisconsin board and showed how its
powers had developed.

Tyrolese Alps, upon whose borders
Italians and Austrians are again en-
gagged in their age-old mountain war

Hest places in Europe" according TO
a bulletin just issued by the National
Geographic society. South Tyrol, az
present the most CHASTITY of the battle

tain climbers and for seekers after
health. It's popularity had steadily
grown, until it became a serious rival
for international patronage with the
Riviera, with the German and Bohern-
ian baths, and with Switzerland.
The soaring zig-zag way of Stelvio
Pass and the serpentine Mendel road
are two foremost examples of the many
famed routes for automobile mountain
climbing in south Tyrol. Some of the
more beautiful thoroughfares in Swift
zerland are not open to motoring tour
lists, and elsewhere in Europe's noun
tain country there are few such ex
cellent macadam roads to be found as
those constructed by Austria. On
many stretches along these mountain
avenues are long sections of solid
masonry tunnels to guard against ava

their fighting qualities. From among
them, Austria has received one of her

CROWN PRINCE HAS
NEW COUNTRY HOME

BERLIN, Oct. Is. The splendid
country residence for the Crown
Prince on the Jungfernses, a broad arm
of the Havel at Potsdam, has been
completed in the rough and will be
ready for occupancy by next spring.
The erection of the palace was render
ed necessary, it is explained, by reas-
on of the increase in the Princes fam
lily. The Emperor supplied the money
for building it, and it will remain the
property of the Crown, to become the
residence of future Crown Princes.
The palace is really group of build
ings centering upon not less than five
courts and covering about 10000
square yards. There are apartments
for the Crown Prince himself, then TO :
the Crown Princess and children; 9TH
ers for the officials of his court, and
still others for the servants. Not less
than four approaches for vehicles will
be made-one for members of the royal
family, which leads into the court OF
honor. a second for guests AID the
court officials. third for the children
of the royal couple, and a fourth for
trades people and servants. The build
ings will be surrounded by spacious
grounds, partly terraced; there will b.
two so-called rose gardens, and these,
as we'll as the rest of the establish
ment, will give beautiful views over
the Havel lakes. Tie buildi- IS g &
rather low and of simple outlines, with
high roofs covered with red tiles. The
palace will be just a good modern
house, with an abundance Of room with
modern comforts, which are rather
scarce in the older palaces of Germany
There will be. for example, not less
than twenty bath rooms.
