A Plea for Pig Leather.
o the Editor Of The Star:

10 the Editor or The Star:
This nation is facing a serious short
age of leather. for which we can find no
relief outside, as the entire world can
offer no relief. the shortage being uni
versal. For shoes leather is best, and
I wish to call attention that we have
an abundance of material that is now
being wasted and sold as food or
with food.
The skin of pigs on our bacon and
hams make the very best of leather and
to very limited extent is now used
for making articles requiring the
toughest and hardest wearing qualities.
Pigskin gloves, pocketbooks. binding
for books. leggings, foot balls, valises,
uppers for shoes. etc, are some of the
articles made from this leather.
In the United States produce about
65.000.000 pigs or hogs every year and
use about 10 per cent of the skin for
leather. Without going into details and
rather to suggest remedy that will
relieve the high cost of articles made
from leather. this iation Low absolute
" wastes this vast amount of material
offered as food when we have such
great needs for Our .eet. To turn 65,-
100000 pigskins into leather would give
our entire people about four pairs of
shoes per year and then have enough
let to make purses to carry all our
some books worth binding.
The .en.sdy can be found in a plain
law. which the Congress should enact.
amehoins the interstate commerce Law
"foroioding the interstate shipment of
all pork p. oducts with the skin on.
The states should forbid the sale of all
interstate pork products with the skin
on. The buying public would very
readily choose the hams and bacon
having no skinron. which would have to
be handled in a more sanitary manner
than is usual with bacon.
Our Department of Agriculture, in
farmers bulletin. could tell our farm
ers how TO skin and cure the leather
for home use. and its many uses, or the
best way to market the same; call at
tention to. the great waste of fuel and
labor to scald and scrape a pig, the
value of the bristles and the greater
value of the leather.
Let me beg of The Star to help by
all means possible to bring this matter
before the people and help solve this
great economical problem. which is
fraught with grave danger to our
whole national welfare.

Beats Leavenworth Climate.

This air is fine" said another speak
er. ut beats the Leavenwo orth climate
and it ought to be healthful. We
haven't anything to complain about.
We know we have chance here and
that's why we are trying to make a

One glance at the ten white and
forty five colored men who make up
the colony is convincing proof that
they believe they have an opportunity
worth while. In the first place. they
are being treated as men. When they
were brought to Lorton few weeks
ago they travelled without handouts or
shackles. They know that when they
finish their sentences they will be as
sisted by the institution in finding en-
ployment and starting life over on a
different basis.
The men ear. sleep and have their
recreation under one roof. When the
weather permits they are given out
door work. On such days as yesterday
they remain inside. The building Is
equipped with a large number of small
stoves which were kept going at full
blast yesterday. A steam heating sys-
TEN is being installed that also was
partially in operation.
The building is $50 feet long and
thirty feet wide and has a cement floor.
Administrative offices are in the south

Unusual Penal Experiment.

The prisoners apparently appreciate
the fact that they are instruments in
the working out of an unusual penal

the work about them. The plan is to
utilize their labor in the building of

the department for females, which will

occoouan creek at a cost of about $40, 900.
This will supply the needs of both the
workhouSe and reformatory. The other
is to proceed with the construction of the
industrial railroad. to extend from the
wharves on Occoquan creek through the
workhouse property to the reformatory
site 1t is estimated that about eighteen
months will be required for completing
sary grading already has been done. The
railroad will be used for the transporta- :
ton of materials with which to construct
the permanent reformatory and female
department buildings.
William II. Whitaker. who a few
years ago, took number of prisoners
to the workhouse property. then a
wilderness tract kept them in tents
until frame dormitorieS were con-
structed and, subsequently, utilized
their labor in the development of the
workhouse plant-now valued at $780,
900 and practically lf-supporting-is
directing the construction of the re-
formatory.
Despite the fact that it is necessary
to utilize the labor of the present
prisoners in construction work, it is
Mr.. Whittakers intention to immedi-
ately install two vocational schools.
Vocational training will. OF course, be
the big aim of the institution when it
passes from the construction period and
settles down into smooth running order
The first school to begin operations
will give instruction in barbering. Four
BARRIERS chairs have been ordered and
the first class will assemble in a few
days In the early spring a school for
broom making will begin activities.
MI. Whittaker's Plans.
Mr.. Whitaker said yesterday that
the original plan of sending either to
Fort Leavenworth or the federal peni-
tentiary at Atlanta, Ga. for additional
prisoners probably would be abandoned
until Congress passes the proposed in
determinate sentence and Farole law.
He expressed the belief that such legiS-
lation would be enacted at this session.
1t is vitality important that law
of this character be provided, he said,
in order that the prisoners brought to
the reformatory will have an induce
ment to work for the success of the
honor system, realizing that the better
records they make the sooner they
will be liberated and given a chance to
return to society.
The temporary reformatory quarters
can accommodate a considerably larger
number of prisoners than is now being
cared for. 1t is Mr.. Whittaker's plan
to transfer to the institution prisoners
at the District Jail who have two and
three year sentences to serve
OF the fifty-five prisoners now at the
reformatory the terms of ten will ex-
pire before July, it is said.
