the best hotels. theatres and other re-
sorts to the accompaniment OF wine
and song are part of the program
engineered by these shrewd female
aides.
The out-of-town buyer passes
through the whirl OF Joy without cost
The merchants who employ these wo-
men pay all the bills, reimbursing the

New York
The situation is so startling as to
be almost unbelievable. but the facts

themselves"

GOOD BEHAVIOR CREDITS
FOR PRISONERS ON ROADS

Replying to inquiry made by Gov
ernor Stuart the attorney general has
given an opinion that jail prisoners,
who have not worked on the roads
or in convict camps do not benefit by
the statute which allows credit for
good behavior in shortening the term.
Jail prisoners who have so worked in
the camp may receive such credit for
good behavior, in the discretion of
the Governor.
The law gives penitentiary convicts
opportunity to shorten their sentences
by earning credits for good behavior
The case which moved the Gov
ernor to make the inquiry Is that Of
a convict. whose sentence to the peni-
Tertiary was commuted to term in
Jail.
