Russia Becomes Temperate.

The prohibition OF selling brandy
in the government monopoly shops
was introduced throughout the Rus
sian empire from the beginning Of
the war, on the day Of mobilization,
and has now been in force for more
than eight months. One Of the Rus
sian papers has made inquiries con.
corning the results of this measure,
and has published some of the statis-
tical data that was collected. The
following list shows the consump-
ton OF vodka in the city of Moscow
in 1914 compared with the preceding
year: July, 612,6S6 gallons in 1913
and 359,124 gallons in 1914; August,
667, 1926 gallons in 1913 and 1888 gal
Ions in 1914; October, 707,6ss gallons
in 1913 and 2,913 gallons in 1914. Dur
ing the first three months vodka could
be obtained at the first-class restau-
rants for consumption in the same,
the selling Of vodka in bottles being
prohibited under a heavy fine.

Anators' Safety parachutes.

1ae energies OF practically all the
inventors OF parachutes for airmen
have been directed towards the devel.
opment Of a device for the airman
alone. the ~aeroplane itself being al
lowed to drop to earth unhindered.
Parachutes for the whole %aeroplane
have just been designed by a French
inventor. Two folded parachutes, con-
tanned In cone-shaped receptacles, are
attached to the wings as near the ends
as possible. BY can of a simple
mechanism, operated by the movement
OF a small hand lever, these para.
chutes are pushed out of the contain
ers. after which they are claimed to
open freely, no matter in what man
ner the aeroplane may be falling. All
the airman has to do is to hang on to
the aeroplane.

CONVICT ROAD
WORK IN STATES
Recent Reports All Go to Show
Success Of System.
FINE HIGHWAYS BUILT.

Continuance Of Convict Road Work In
Most Of tho States Will Depend on
lts Economic Vaiue-This 10 Being
Proved by What Has Been Done In
Several States.
Does convict road work pay? The
continuance Of the work in most of
the states depends on its economic
value. The national committee on
prisons and prison labor has been in
vestigating this side of the convict
road question and has received an
encouraging report from A. D. Will
liams. chief road engineer Of the state
of West Virginia.
The report covers the work at Dana.
Kanawha county, and has been con
Quoted under the supervision Of NJ. P.
Walsh for a period, of ten months,
half Of which was through the win
ter. From November, 1914, to June,
1915, the measured quantities on the
Maiden road constructed by the con-
victs from the Dana camp were:
207 cubic yards rubble masonry in ce-
ment.
115 cubic yards rubble masonry in dry.
25 cubic yards REINFORCED concrete.
q linear feet t~wenty-four REINFORCED
vitrified pipe.
20 linear feet eighteen REINFORCED Wit
rif1ed pipe.
40s linear feet twelve REINFORCED vitri-
fed pipe.
1856 cubic yards foundation excavation.
22.3S6 cubic yards unclassifed excavation.
The total cost of this work amount
ed to $11,589.92. while the lowest Of
four bids received from private con-
tractors for this same work amounted
to $15,418.O5, or $33,s19.13 more than
the work actually cost when con-
structed by the prisoners. twenty-five
per cent of the total cost of the work
was, therefore, saved by the use of the
prisoners.
The success in this work is pointed
out by the committee to be due to the
fact that the men in charge were
efficient and DESTROYS Of success, and
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1915-10-08

also had the welfare Of the prisoners
ut heart, SO that they secured interest
and good will in the work.
\ hundred and nineteen miles of
road were completed during 1914 by
