NEW DETENTION HOUSE
AGITATION TO RESULT
Present One Unwholesome and Tends to Make Children
Morose-Police Officials Say Confinement Should Be
Shortened Juvenile Court Cannot Reduce These.

Agitation for new and adequate quar-
tiers for the House of Detention will re-
suit from the expose of the unwholesome
situation caused by the Juvenile Court
practice of confirming children at the in
stitution for unreasona bly, long periods.
These long confinements, averaging
nearly week in length, tend to convert
the institution into place OF punish
ment. not a place of temporary detention.
These lengthy confinements overcrowd
the institution. overwork employees and
cat seriously into the small annual ap-
propriationS for maintenance. In addi-
ton. the associa tons tend to depress the
children and make them morose.
Confinement Too Long.
officials of the police department are
of the opinion that the periods of confine-
ment should be reduced materially, pref
erably to a maximum of one or two
nights. They say that the present quar-
tiers. while not strictly modern or very
Commcdious. would be amply adequate
for a number of years were the periods
of confinement reduced.
Juvenile Court officials fear they are
unable to reduce materially these periods
of confinement because of the time re-
quired for Investigations of the cases be-
fore they can be heard in court. Conse-
less the court finds a way of reducing
the length of confinements and of dis
posing OF cases more rapidly, the only
solution of the situation will he the erec-
ton of a larger and adequate house of
detention.
The present structure is on the east
side of Eighteenth street northwest be-
tween f street and New York avenue.
1t is three-story, narrow brick build
ing with basement. The northern half
of the first two stories is utilized as
stable. An American flag flies from
pole surmounting the roof. An iron fire
escape adds to the unsightliness of the
facade. An old ia shioned iron stairway
leads up from the pavement to the first
story
To the right upon entering the narrow
hallway is the superintendent's office.
At the end of the hall is the clerks Of

nile offenders are made to stand. give
their names to the man in the arm chair
with his head buried in a ponderous old
lume of names and dates.
Have to Crowd Girls.
A narrow staircase leads upstairs.
There are four rooms on the second
story. One of the front rooms is
sitting-room for the matrons It is fur
nished simply but neatly. Adjoining it
is a room for colored female inmates.
The room has four beds. several chairs
and a shelf of books. The beds are sin
gle ones. Despite their narrowness. it
becomes necessary to crowd
as many as two and three girls into
them.
On this floor are two rooms for white
female inmates. The rooms are all about
the same siZe-approXimately twelve feet
square. One of the rooms has three beds
and the other has four. They are fur

merchants and books and nothing else.
The third story has two rooms for
white boys and a room for colored ones.
The windows are barred as we'll as the
doors. In the corridor sits guard. From
time to time he rises from his arm chair
and peeps through the grating into the
rooms to see if the boys are bahaving
themselves. Sometimes he reads to them.
Sometimes he lets them play marbles or
checkers on the floor. Occasionally he
gives them little heart-to-heart talk.
Some of the boys listen attentively and
seem much affected by the words. Others
grin mischievously and cynically and say
nothing.
Two Meals Given Daily.
The institution has three men guards.
who work in eight hour shifts. There also
are three matrons, likewise working
eight-hour shifts. Four drivers are en-
ployed for the two vehicles used to con-
vey inmates from police station houses to
the institution.
The inmates are given two meals day.
This number is regarded as sufficient, in
view of the fact that the inmates get
practically no exercise. The meals are
prepared by a caterer on Pennsylvania
avenue About half an hour before meals
employees of the House Of Detention tele-
phone the orders to the caterer and the
food is rushed hot to the institution and
served the inmates in courses. In some
cases the inmates are permitted to give
their own orders. provided they are with
in certain limits as far as expense is
concerned
The monthly allowance for meals is
$50. Because of the lengthy confinements
and the subsequent overcrowding of the
institution, this item has increased to
about 500 a month. For several months
the institution has been compelled to run
up bills in excess of the amount Of the
money appropriated for the specific pur-
pose.
First Offenders Held There.
To a certain extent adult female Of
Tenders are segregated from young
girl inmates. Women who have been
arrested for more than the first time
are sent to the First police precinct, where
they are kept under the care of special
matrons in special quarters. Vicious and
hardened women are sent to the House
of Detention. And even in these cases
if it is found that the women are intoxi-
Gated. are indecent, or are intractible.
they are sent to the First precinct. This
arranGemnt is to prevnt the young girl
inmates from coming in contact with
women who might lower their morals.
Nevertheless. most OF these adult wom-
en- offenders have tasted the dregs of
life are disheartened. and gloomy. Their
association with young girls has most
depressing and wholesome effect upon !

FIRST NATIONAL BANK.

The First National Bank was es-
tablished in September, 1912, as the
Divide County State Bank, and al
though comparatively young bank,
the public, not unnaturally, attaches
peculiar significance to bank that
has passed all the requirements of
the United States government and
reposes great confidence in such
bank, for they are usually very con-
serVatlve and proportionately safe
In this bank the people have an ex-
ceptionally valuable, as we'll as one
of the most progressive, reliable and
one of the strongest banking institu-
tions in this part of the state, and one
that is recognized as a good one with
which to have financial dealings. From
it's organization it has continued un-
interruptedly to transact its growing
business, and today the First National
is recognized as being all that is best
in the banking business. The bank is
conveniently located, is we'll equipped
with every convenience and facility to
handle the large business that is en-
trusted to its care, and it accords uni
form, courteous treatment to all pa
irons alike. 1t operates with capital
of $25,000 and surplus of $780, and
has deposits of $4,000. The officers

"No one has travelled through the

question which must thrill every
heart. What country in the world is
not filled with our labors?' Some
years ago on our way home, in the
first land we touched after leaving
Australian shores, Ireland's mission
ary work came before our eyes at Co.
lombo in the island Of Ceylon. Irish
fathers were preaching in many lang
uages and ministering to the spiritual
wants of native Catholics, and Irish
Sisters, both there and at Randy, 20
miles inland, were living at immense
sacrifice under a tropical sun SO that
they might entwine round the dusky
children of the east the elevating in
huences of religion and education. In
Palestine, when we had penetrated the
mountains of Judea, Franciscan
from Cork gave us a 'caed mile
