STUDYING CONVICT LABOR.
Road Construction In Southern States
by Prisoners Subject of Investigation.

Road Construction In Southern States
by Prisoners Subject of investigation.
Highway construction by state pris-
Oners in the southern states is the sub
ject Of an Investigation which the ma
tional committee on prisons and prison
labor and the graduate highway de-
partment of Columbia university have
jointly undertaken. Convict road work
in the north was similarly treated last
year.
The possibility of employing the mis-
demeanant in road work is also under
Investigation at the present time
When the three studies are completed
the prison committee will be in a posi-
ton to afford accurate and scientific
information to oil those attempting to
direct convict road work, no matter in
what section of the country their work
lies OF what type of convict they are
called upon to handle.
The southern @4"3y is being conduct
cd by James Wilwot, civil engineer,
who has been in charge of convict
road gangs in Louisiana and other
southern states and is familiar with
both the southern convict and the
southern road.

cultural districts of the south is admit

ShrapneI Fuse.

ShrapRel comprises a forged she'll
that carries lead bullets and bursting
charge. Screwed into the front end is
the combination timing and percussion
fuse, which can be setso as to explode
the shell at any desired point and from
which the flame for exploding the
bursting charge is conveyed through a
powder timing train and tube filled
with powder pellets down through the
diaphragm of the powder pocket. The
fuse is an extremely accurate piece of
mechanism, largely produced from
screw machine parts, some of which
are forged previous to machining. An
American factory takes ten hours to
complete an entire shell, fuse and all.
British factories take nearly fifteen.

GOOD ROADS AND
COUNTRY WOMEN
Better Highways Mean Much
10 Farmers Families.
A FIELD FOR FEMIHISTS.

There Is No Better Line of Endeavor
For Women Than the Advocating of
Improved Highways - The Comfort
and Well Being of Great Numbers
Are Involved.
Good roads propaganda usually en-
phasizes the Importance of providing
better traffic facilities as an economic
necessity, writes a woman contribu-
tor to the Philadelphia Record. This,
of course, is the matter of paramount
Importance, but when one considers the
benefits of highway improvement as
they affect all classes none should take
a more active interest in the movement
than the women of the United States,
especially those who dwell in rural dis
trictS.
The patient resignation with which
American country women have long
accepted the deplorable situation pre-
vailing throughout the country is re-
markable. On one occasion | spent a
winter in the country. The weather
CHANGED to be unusually severe, and
scarcely a week passed that we were
able to leave the house, and solely be-
cause of the bad condition Of the roads,
the wagons at times sinking in mud to
their hubs. Days passed when we
were completely isolated. Thus we
and our neighbors were cut off from all
social intercourse. And yet, as stated,
this unhappy situation was accepted
as q matter of course.
This particular community now has
at least one wide, fine road. It's value

ted by all, while already in Georgia,
Virginia, North Carolina and other
states it has been demonstrated that
the convict can be most useful factor
in procuring these roads. Up to the
present time the work has been him
dered by the faulty legislation under
which it has had to be developed and
the weakness with which even this leg
islatiOn has been administered.
The convict has to a certain extent
benefited by the healthy outdoor work
and the fact that he is trained in work
i'll which there is a constant demand
for labOrers and in which it is easy to
obtain employment upon release. Up
to the present time wage has not been
paid the prisoner for his work ON the
roads in any of the southern states or
in any state but Iowa. The popularity
of convict road work has seemed to lie
in the fact that it is cheap means of
securing good roads through the ex-
ploitation Of the prisoner.
/ The national committee on prisons
and prison labor holds that the value
of the prisoners labor is the same as
that at which free labor can be Sc
cured to do the same work and that
only when this wage is paid will con-
/ Wet labor be efficient labor
Mr.. WilmOts study will include care
full investigation of the labor cost for
this work, as well as of the different
systems of control, and on this scien-
tific data the committee will base rec
concentrations which it is hoped will
lead to the efficient development of
convict road. work in the southern
states

feeling that what we have said one

this makes us careful We are brought
up from youth to think twice before

WOMEN AND CHI LOREN.
can scarcely be estimated. 1t has made
farms more valuable. 1t has lifted"
the farmers family as we'll as himself
out of the mud and enabled him to get
his produce to town when prices are
at their best. On this road farmers
can haul with one horse loads that for
merly required three or four.
AS an illustration of the value and
economy of this improved road to the
| individuals in touch with it, one man
has been offered $500 more for his
property than he could have obtained
prior to its construction.
| But aside from these material ad
! vantages it Is to the women and chill
dren of the community that the road
1 has been Of direct benefit. They find
the village stores more accessible, the
/ local storekeepers now making deliv-
cries into the country. The children
are no longer deprived of attending
school regularly.
The absence of mud and dust means
everything to the women and children
, Of the country. They can traverse this
road as dry shod as though upon a
city sidewalk. Dust no longer envelops
lawns or Sits into houses when close
to the road.
But the improved road has resulted
in other advantages. 1t has attracted
many to the picturesque region. These
summer people," as the natives call
them, have increased both the finan.
cial and social resources Of the COM
munity, the latter being Of direct ben
eft and pleasure to the women and
in this community can be repeated in
other sections of the country. Then
there is the aesthetic side Of highway
improvement in which women can be
useful. The Federation Of Women S
Clubs will beautify the LilEOln high.
way, that great thoroughfare running
from ocean to ocean, which Senator
Beverage has described as one of the
largest and most substantial single
steps in our present day progress.
A great deal is said about women's
participation in public affairs, but 1t is
doubtful whether any field Of endeaYor
now open to her promises more in the
way of beneficent results than advo
cacy Of improved highways. 1t is q
matter involving the comfort, conven
fence and well being Of great major
ity of the women of the United States
for the greater number dwell in rura
districts.
1t is certainly incumbent upon the
women Of America to take an active
and aggressive part in the good roads
movement. They should do it as indi
Eiduals and through womens goot
roads organizations established in ev
cry community that does not have goot
roads, and, above all, they should in
sist upon roads Of the clean and per
manent type described II their eman

dustless, mudless roads cost little more
than makeshift highways, thus repre-
senting the highest ultimate economy.

HOW TO IMPROVE ROADS.
Outside Committees Do Much to Aid
Legislatures In Preparing Laws.


To aid legislatures in revising road
laws and framing new road legislation
Il series Of papers dealing extensively
with existing road laws in each state
is about to be issued under an ar
rangement made by the legislative
committee of the American Highway
association with the bureau of munich
pal research of New York city.
The complete compilation of road
laws already thoroughly indeXed and
brought up to date has been submitted
by the committee to A. n. Johnson,
highway engineer of the bureau of mu-
nicipal research, for use in the prep
aration of series of papers and charts
which will indicate the laws In each
state which are conflicting, obsolete,
vague or superfiuouS and the lines
along which simplicity and efficiency
in revision may be obtained. Included
in the publications to be issued will be
/ suggested models for laws covering
state aid to road improvement, the use
OF convict labor, the issuing Of bonds
for road construction, the manage
| ment of lscal roads the regulation
of traffic and other related subjects OF
| legislation. Charts illustrating graph
ically the points of similarity and dis,
similarity in the respective state sys-
tens will also be prepared.
The American Highway association,
through It's legislative committee, first
secured the effective aid of the United
States office of public roads in compil-
ing all road laws, and the work which
will now be done by the bureau of mu-
nicipal research is further step in
turning this great fund of information
to best advantage.
The third step in this important I'M
dertaking will comprise personal con
ferences and hearings in connection
with state legislative programs by ex-
perts whose services will be arranged
for by the Highway association.
