Fear of Temptation to
Escape Keeps Convicts
From Taking Camp Jobs

Auburn. n. Y, July 16.-"Convicts
in the oldest prison in use in New
York State prefer to stay behind the
bars rather than enjoy life in the
open as workers in road camps"
That is the strange announcement
made to-day by State Superintendent
of Prisons Charles F. Rattigan, who
declared that the moral fear of the
temptation to escape keeps prison.
ers at Auburn State Prison from
accepting the free life of the road
instead of the drab monotony inside
the walls.
Auburn Prison is located in the
Finger Lakes region and the gangs
of convict highway builders are sta
toned at wild spots along the i'm
proved roads linking and circling
the inland lakes. ManyIhave made
acquaintances in the summer COL
onies. Chances for a getaway are
numerous. In this environ, the ex-
ceptional lure of the lake country
TO freedom, to independence and to
recreation in the zone which was
the playground of the Indian, ac-
tuates the men in declining to take
to flee, according to superintendent
Rattigan.
In virtually all cases where es-
capes have been effected from road
camps, the convicts have later been
apprehended. Their sentences were
then extended. 1t is the grim fear
of this possibility which the SUPER
intedent asserts is keeping the men
in gray from the woods and glens
and limpid waters of the Finger
Lakes.

Governor Using
His Big Veto AK

Governor Sproul has vetoed the
bill providing a method of letting
contracts for street and highway
lighting in townships and villages
on the ground that the plan pro-
posed would be unfair perhaps, un-
constitutional and not conducive to
proper relation between the gov
erning authorities and those gov
erned."
The Governor vetoed on the
ground that acts already approved
covered the subjects bills relative
TO appointment of detectives by dis
trict attorneys in counties having
between 10000 and 250,000 popu-
lation: empowering duly qualified
soldiers and sailors to register as
law and dental students and au-
thorizing school boards to permit use
of grounds for recreation purposes.
He also disapproved the bill to in
crease salaries of county commits
siorers of all counties except Phila-
delphia and Allegheny on the ground
that the commissioners generally do
not devote all of their time to their
official duties and that they are suf-
riCiently compensated.

Plan to Check Radicals

Washington. July 1T.-Conserva-

faction in the House set out to-day

might create a revulsion of feeling
throughout the country on the whole
question of liquor drinking.
Warming was given by the con-
servatives that if the radical ele-

severe restrictions they would be
certain to invite defeat in the Senate
and possibly find all of their work
thrown out by presidential veto.

 The final character of any rubber article depends upon its "compound'. In per fecting the "compoutld' the rubber chem ist works backward. He first determines the use to which the article will be put, and the work it will have to do.

New Britain herald., 1919-10-15

1UST as good flour is necessary
 to make good bread, so only y good quality rubber will make good heels.
 But good bread depends upon more than good hour-it depends on the dough, or the mixture of flour with other ingredients. It is the same with rubber heels.
 Rubber itself Is an elastic, resilient substance derived from the milky juice of certain tropical trees. In its crude state it is not at all suited to practical use. Heat and light are its natural enemies. 1t becomes soft and tacky in hot weather and stiff and brittle in cold. Only by mixing it with other ingredients, and then 'sca1ring" or baking it under pressure can rubber be made really useful.
