ROAD WORK FOR

Work For Men
PLAN WORKS
WELL IN SOUTH

Road work for misdemeanant prison
ers is the subject of an investigation
which is being conducted under The
joint direction of the National Com
mittee on Prisons and Prison Labor
and the Graduate Highway pepart-
ment of Columbia University. James
LELAND Stamford b. s c. IL. who is
in charge of the investigation has had
considerable experience in the road
camps of Georgia, where the majority
of able-bodied male prisoners arc
worked on the roads
The study will consider in detail
such matters as the most economic
size of a road gang, the cost for
guarding, supervising and mainte-
nance. and the approximate value Of
days work. IL will also show the
possibility of increasing efficiency by
means of the payment of wages, rec
reation after work hours, and the.
shortening of sentence for good con-
duct Conditions in the different sec
tions of the country are to be dealt
with. especially as to the effect of
weather conditions and the cost OF

is not of value either to the prisoners
or to the county. In Kalamazoo

where road work has been tried. even
under experimental conditions. it has
been found eminently successful. In
/ fact the knowledge that jail sentence
will mean hard work on the roads has
a tendency to decrease the number Of
commitments. vagrants keeping away
from counties where they will be sub
jected to work of this character.
Already much valuable material has
been gathered. and by the time the
study is completed information will
be at the disposal of all counties un-

! will enable them to conduct il in a
! scientific manner. The National Com
mittee on Prisons and Prison Labor
1 hopes in this way to lessen the evils
of the county jail and to benefit both
the prisoners and the counties through
the impetus which will be given the
I building of good roads.

the story which the car itself tells:
THAT thought concerns the motive
that dominated Dodge Brothers in de-
signing and building IT, They have
never for a moment been interested in
seeing how little they could charge
But they have been immensely inter-
ested in demonstrating how much they
could give. They have brought TO
bear upon the accomplishment OF that
ambition an unusual manufacturing

and complete financial independence.

success has attended their efforts.

Message From the Lusitania

The torpedoing OF the Lusitania by
a German submarine and its conse-
quent destruction of 1900 people, all
non combatants- many women and
children, ranks for the time being as
the most startling of the great calami-
ties that have burst upon us from the
European war The past furnishes
nothing by which to judge such an
event, but the world will not be likely
to make nice distinctions as to the
beligerant rights. Even If the grim
code of war should technically justify
this wanton destruction, the rulers of
the nation which perpetrated it will
be branded as assassins, not during
the war but for generations to come.
1t cannot be that Germany's cause
will be prospered by such means.
The event-the most tragic in the
greatest of all known tragedies, must
not be allowed to draw America into
the vortex. Our task will be great
enough If we keep our own continent
at peace and so follow the intricate
pathway of diplomacy that no cause
be given for invasion by foreign foe,
or If invasion threatens US or sis
ter Republic, 1t shall find the entire
Western world united to oppose It,
