ROAD
BUILDING
coNvIcTs AS ROAD BUILDERS
Need for Cooperation Between State
Highway and State Prison De-
partments Is Outlined.

THE state highway department
should hire convicts from the state
prison department in exactly the same
way as it would hire free laborers,
and at the same price per day. Dur
ing the hours of work the men should
not be thought of as convicts, but sim
ply as employees of the highway de-
partment. No payment should be made
for a single hour not worked and
man discharged should be removed at
once and permanently, while the high
way department should have no re-
sponsibility for nor authority over the
convicts at any time nor in any man
ner except to conduct their work or
to discharge them"
This need for cooperation between
departments is strongly urged in
report made to the New York state
highway department by David ]. Shor-
er, who was in charge of the convict
road work in Green county, New York,
during the summer of 1914.
Mr.. Shorer's practical experience
has demonstrated the importance OF
the recommendation for cooperation
between the highway and prison de-
partments in conducting convict road
work, which the national committee
on prisons and prison labor has ad-
vocated for number of years and has
been instrumental in embodying into
the laws of the state of West Vir-
gfnia.
The work in Green county, New
York, was carried on under most diff
fcult conditions. The men arrived at
the camp before the organization and
equipment were completed. They
were sent there without regard to
their suitability for the work and al
most one-fourth were totally unfit and
had to be returned to the prison. Ar
rangements for feeding the men were
unsatisfactory, while winter made ef!i-
cient work impossible fully two weeks
before they were removed from the
camp.
In spite of these difficulties Mr..
Shorer reports that, taking the 60 con-
victs who were retained at the camp,
and comparing them with 81 civilians
also working at the camp, the con-
victs averaged better than the civil

SQUASH INJURED BY BoRERs
Whole Patches Of Vegetable May Be
Destroyed by Insect In Few Days
plan OF One Farmer.

Some years the Hubbard squash
vine is badly injured by the squash
boref. The moth lays her eggs on
the outside of the vine. and in few,
days the eggs hatch into small grubs.
These Immediately bore their way
into the stalk where they live un-
seen and for time unsuspected.
For a while the vines grow well;
then. as the borer continues feeding
on the inside of the stalk, the vine
withers and dies. Whole patches of
squash may be destroyed by these
borers in few days.
In 1914 one farmer made tests Of
early and late planting. The early
paintings were begun In April and
continued into May. Sweet corn was
used as companion crop, with the
early paintings to furnish shade for
the squash vines, but every vine ex-
cept one was destroyed by the borers
in all the early paintings
He made late paintings of seed
from June l to July 20, which was
the last planting of the season. In
order to hasten the development of
the plants as an Offset to late plant
ing, separate hills were prepared.
Holes were dug from eight to ten
inches deep, which were filled with
rich soil thoroughly mixed with chick
en- manure. but he left saucer-like
depressions as an aid to watering
the plants in dry weather. This plan
proved very serviceable. as no rain
fell during six weeks of midsummer.
The plants had to be watered fire.
quently to keep them vigorous.
Notwithstanding the drawbacks OF
late planting and dry season, this
crop OF Hubbards was among the best
he had ever raised. Hardly vine
was attacked by the borers. The
period of squash-moth flying was over
before the plants were above ground

ians and as good as any ordinary con-
tract gang. Under proper conditions
he maintains there will be no difficulty
in using convicts for this type of work
with good results for the money ex-
pended.
The national committee on prisons
and prison labor calls special atten-
tion to this report and its conclusion
that two factors are essential to the
success of convict road work. Re-
sponsibility for administration must
be placed in the hands of those COM
petent to meet 1t, and the men en-
couraged through system of rewards
SO that they feel they have something
to gain through good work.

COMB SAGE TEA IN
HAIR TO DARKEN IT
IT'S GRANDMoTHER's RECIPE TIC
KEEP HER LOCKS DARK,
GLOSSY, THICK.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers treatment. and folks are again
using it to keep their hair good, even
color, which is quite sensible. as we
are living in an age when youthful
appearance is Of the greatest advant-
age.
Nowadays, tho. we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the readyto- use pro-
duct called "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" for about so cents
bottle. 1t is very popular because no.
body can discover it has been applied.
Simply moisten your comb or a soft
brush with 1t and draw this thru your
hair taking one small strand at a time.
by morning the gray hair disappears.
but what delights the ladies' with
wyeth's Sage and sulphur is that.
besides beautifully darhening the hair
after a few applications, II also pro-
duces that soft lustre and appearance
OF abundance which is 80 attracfive:

"The Misleading Lady, At Odsen,
Proves Most Delightful Comedy.

"a unique and most unusual play,
the dissertation of THE Misleading
Lady" which was presented at the
Odeon Thursday night. proved an eN-
ceedingly fitting tribute. and the only
regret is that a crowded house could
not have witnessed this delightful and
original bit of comedy drama. Enacted
as it was by most capable company,
the entire performance was well worm
seeing.
AS for the story of the play ITSELF
it deals with Helen Steele, oeautllui
woman who, at a house party, makes
a wager with the other guests that she
can make Jack Chaigen. lately re-
turned from Patagonia. propose TO her
within five days She succeeds, ana
Craigen really falls in love. thinking
the girl in earnest. When Craigen dis
covers that Helen has been merely
playing with him, he launches into
TRADE against what he calls sex APP
peal" He claims that all that women
have to attract men are their charms
of sex. which are greatly enhanced by
the modern clothes designed so as
to show off all the physical charms.
He deplores this. and speaks or the
Pataeonian way of love- making, where
the man drags his beloved off by the
hair of her head and makes her
prisoner. Miss Steels sarcastically
suggests thai he do that with some
woman. and perhaps he VIII iearh
something about the sex in general.
He takes her at her word and. throw
ing a coat over her head. bundles her
off in his auto to his hunting lodge IN
the Adironacks Incidentally Helen IS
engage TO another man.
In the hunting lodge Helen wakes
furious. but Craigen is calm. ana pro-
ceeds TO study her" as she had sug-
gested. At this point one 'Boney,
an escaped lunatic, who imasines ne
is NAPOLEON. arrives on the scene, ana
from then on the complications come
thick and fast In the end Helen
Steele decides that Jack Craigen Is
the man she really loves, and That II
is rather nice 10 be with him after all
AS far as the story Of the play IS
concerned, it could easily be carried
along by three characters. Jack ana
Helen and "Boney" with the possible
help Of Tracy. the supposed fiance.
F. IS. Hersome as Jack CraiSen and
Eileen O'Malley as Helen Steele acted
their parts exceptionally Well Mr.
Hersome had just the right touch Of
carelessness in his scenes with the
weeping and angry Helen. But the
palm for acting was undoubtedly car
ried off by William Lawrence, who as
Napoleon, emperor Of France fur
nished most OF the comedy. As the
escaped lunatic who became none
other than the proud emperor al the
word Waterloo or any other word
resembling ii. he carried his part
we'll nigh to perfection. Withai his
comic and absurd speeches. he man
aged 70 instil a hit Of pathos into his
part when Tracy was endeavoring TO
bully out of him the whereabouts
of Helen. The sight OF his huge bulk

was comical. yet pathetic. His facial
expressions were also excellent The
