If a convict does not com plete his task within eight hours, an in vestigation will be made If his task IS too heavy 1t will be made lighter. If he has failed to work for proper punishment will be administered. Positive orders are that the men snail not be expetted to do more than a reasonable amount or work during the work day.

ALABAMA TRYING HONOR SYSTEM FOR
 STATE CONNECTS
Policy of Helpfulness Is to Be Given Thorough Trial During Next Three
 Years
Montgomery Bureau The Age Herald

Montgomery, January 24-(Special.)- Convinced that men convicted of criminal offenses do not always lose their self respect and their human instincts and that proper treatment often bring their minds to a higher plane of thinking, the state convict department has adopted a policy of helpfulness toward conyicts which wil be carried out during the next three years of the present administration.
 This policy was uppermost in the minds of the convict department recently when it cancelled contracts whereby state con victs were worked in the turpentine and lumber camps. Instead of permitting them to be placed in groups of 50 in the future, the men will be concentrated as much as possible in large camps, where they may associate with other persons likewise serving sentences for wrong oo- ing and where they may have enlshten, ing influences which could not come U them in the small camps.
 While realizing the penitentiary is cor rectional institution, it has become known recently that officials of the deparsmen' from C. B. Rogers, warden general, dowr are agreed that the policy should be tc do everything possible to kindle every spark of manhood in order that the mer may leave the institution prepared tt take up the task where it was left oil and better equipped to met the tempta' tions than they were before.
 By concentrating the men in large camps more recreations will be afforded Moving picture shows will be provided Baseball teams will be organized. Other athletics vii be provided. More liberties vii be given to those who can be trusted Every man will have his opportunity tc demonstrate his fitness for trust.
 q The department is determined tha' there shall be no return to the system oi segregation in small groups during the present administration. Fifty or slxtN convicts vii be used on a farm sever miles from wetunfpka during the cror season, but they will be returned to the main prison every Saturday night 1T order that they may have the pleasures and entertainments on Saturday evenings and Sundays.
 Teachers will be provided for those who desire to learn. Religious services will be arranged for those who desire them Regular visiting days for relatives ant friends of the prisoners will be continued The task system will be maintained al it sems to be the only feasible method o obtaining the proper service from all con victs, but new tasks will be provided based on shorter hours in order that con victs may not be worked from before sunup until after sundown. A work da, will average eight hours and the task wil be on the basis of certain amount O work in eight hours. In times gone by convicts have been worked from Il to

First Division Honors Dead

Tourists to the battleheldS of Europe in years to come will find in the center of each one of the First divisions roor,- structed battlefields reminder of the fighting of 1918. From Cantigny to St. Mihiel there are five permanent memo- rfals-the concrete bases are already set and the carved upper work will soon be in place-that mark the spots that are memorable in divisional tradition. Each monument will bear on bronze plates the names ssof the men who fell in the battle which each monument commentaries.
 The five monuments are identical ex- cept for the bronze plates. They were de- signed by Jo Davidson, the American sculptor. Each monument consists of concrete base. 8 meters high and S5 centimeters wide, surrounded by a carved stone piece representine large artil- lery shell upright with an American eagle perched at the top. The eagie is erect. but it's wings droop protectingly around the shell''
 Many other American divisions will have their memories perpetuated by bat tlefield memorials in France. Some d- visions before sailing for the United States subscribed to a fund for the me- morials. In many cases temporary mon- uments, that emphasized too strongly the limitations of their builders as to time and choice of materials and justly per haps the criticism that las been rev. eled at them on artistic grounds, are to be replaced. There were even memorial fatigue details among American soldiers after the armistice was signed.
