WASHINGTON, March 29.-It
has been impossible to raise the
American submarine F-4, and the
last hope of rescuing the crew has
been abandoned by the navy depart

be alive has departed. Acting Secre-
tary Blue has ordered Rear Admiral
Moore to report the axact location
of the sunken boat and the depth CT
water in which she lies. This is
done so that the department may
estimate the probability of recover
ing the bodies.

JOLIET, ILL.,, March 30-The debt
which society owes to its unfor-
Inmates should be repaid by giving
them every possible opportunity to
learn to live under normal condi-
lions. This is the theory of Miss
Grace Fuller, superintendent OF
| women at the Illinois state peniten-
tiary at Joliet. Miss Fuller is put
ting her theory into practice, and
with gratifying results. A group of
white clad, smiling women, stood to-
| day about their leaders in domes-
i tic scence classroom. They beat
eggs, measured out sugar and did
other things, all according to a
recipe written on blackboard by
one of them. Laughter and talk
came easily as they worked. These
women were prisoners at the state
penitentiary-but they were trans
formed into new, happy persons by
the application of a scheme of revo-
| lutionizing prison methods. In this
work, Miss Fuller has the co-opera-
ton of Warden Allen. Dressmak-
ing, rug weaving and other domestic
activities are included in the new
rule of procedure for women in this
institution. Everywhere is notice
able a sense of contentment and
absence of restraint.
