Ty has whaled the ball at close

figures will recover their correct pro-
portions shortly, but the Detroit demon
got one of the worst starts in his career
this season.
The sage who coined The expression

had an idea OF what the 1920 batting
averages look like. Cobb is far south

averages were arranged in alphabetical

Cobb's worst start came in 1918. At

games which embraced 81 times at bat,
he collected twenty eight hits.

THE MIRROR has been changed in size
and is now entirely machine set. The
change was due primarily to the scarcity
and high price of print paper. The print
ing plant has been materially increased,
$4,000 in new equipment having been
added, including typesetting machine,
power paper cutter, saw trimmer, wire
stitching machine and new furniture,
making our plant complete in every detail,
as we have also in operation a ruling
machine, pony cylinder press and two
lob presses. As this institution is large
manufacturing plant, as well as prison,
the volume of work done by this depart
ment is very large, the orders for two
months alone amounting to over 1,255,5OO
pieces of printing, and this is with a re-
duced working force, owing to the install
lation of the typesetting machine, which
is producing more each day than four men
had heretofore done. Our output too has
established a reputation, and is acknow-
lodged by competent judges to be as fine
as that produced in any comercial print
ing plant and superior to many. The de-
sire of the Board of Control to make this
department frst-class in every detail we
believe has been realized.

MILESTONE "a

THE MIRROR has passed another mile
stone and is now entering upon its 34th
year. If we were to write history of
the past thirty-three years we could chron-
icle many things in connection with the
Minnesota State Prison, its officers and
inmates, but we shall mention only some
of the important events and happenings
of the past twelve months.
The population has Auctuated notice
ably, No. of Vol. XXXIII, under date
of August 7, showing $50, while today
August 4 it is SO7. The highest number
reached during this time was 904 and the
lowest was S04.
The hours of labor were reduced jan
uary 1st from nine to eight to nine hours,
this made it necessary to run night crew
of civilians for several weeks in the twine
plant to produce the amount of twine
necessary for the 1920 harvest
The Prison repair department was
moved to St. Paul to facilitate shipments
There was a six weeks quarantine in
February and March as preventative
against another scourage of influenza, such
as we experienced in 1918 and as re-
suit but little sickness was reported.
There was but one fire alarm during
the year. A stubborn, but small fire start
ing in the rope room, in the Twine Fac
tory basement But little damage was done,
due to the sprinkler system which is in
stalled throughout the factory buildings.
500 books were added to our library
during the past twelve months, making a
total of 1880 books.
A number of the women inmates have
been transferred to the new Women's Re-
formatory at Shakopee, and probably be-
fore another twelve months rolls around
there will be no women inmates at this
institution.
Mr.. Chas E. Vasaly resigned from the
Board of Control and is now Superinten-
dent of the Mems Reformatory at St.
Cloud.
DR.. Pierre A. Hilbert of Melrose was
appointed as a member of the Board to
fiji the vacancy caused by Mr.. Vasaly's
resignation.

The year after he left school, however, he
was, to quote himself, tempted into
print" and to this fact we owe the "Auto-
crat of the Breakfast Table" "Old Iron
sides" and many other products of his pen.
The name of Clifford Pinchot' is one
that will not soon be forgotten by Ameri-
cans for it stands for the champion of
the conserving and replenishing of Ameri-
cas- timber supply Clifford Pinchot was
born August II, 1865, at Simsbury, Conn.,,
educated at Yale, and studied forestry in
France, Switzerland and Germany. Upon
returning to America he began syste-
matte work in forestry on the estate of
George w. Vanderbilt, at Biltmore, N. c.
In 1896 Pinchot was made member of
the National Forest Commission and two
years later was appaointed chief of the
Division of Forestry. Since 1905 this de-
partment has been known as the Forest
Service of the United States Department
of Agriculture, and Pinchot served as its
chief until 1910. That year he was elected
president of the national Conservation
Committee. He and his brother Amos,
and there has been scarcely movement
in connection with forestry with which
this man who gained college reputation
of being "mad on trees" has not been in
some way identified. He is the author of
numbed of books, among them are:
"The Adirondack Spruce" "A Primer of
Forestry" and "The Fight for Conserva-
tion.''
Ethel Barrymore, the noted American
actress, whose name, in private life is
Mrs. Russell Griswold Colt, comes from a
family of "stars." Her father was Mau-
rice Barrymore, and her mother, Georgiana
Drew, sister of the late John Drew, the
famous actor. She was born in Philadel-
phia, August IS, 1879, and was educated
at the Convent of Notre Dame, Philadel-
phia. She made her debut in her uncle,
John Drew's Company in 1896, and later
appeared in leading roles with Henry
Irving. She first starred in captain

FLOWER DAY

The program of the Flower Day SER
vices held in the chapel last Sunday morn
ing is given below. This was special
service held under the auspices of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union,
and THE MIRROR, on behalf of the in
mates, wishes to express appreciation
for the services and the floral gifts
with their accompanying Scriptural cards.
Years ago the w. c. T. u, in connection
with its other atruistic efforts, set aside,
and designated as Flower Day, the first
Sunday in August of each year. The day
is devoted especially to prison work, and
an effort made to reach, with words of
cheer and few simple, home grown, old
fashioned flowers, as many as possible of
the incarcerated.
This years services seemed to strike an
especially responsive chord, the address
by Miss Hendrix, and the vocal selections
by Miss Reed, being so full of plainly
outlined, understandable truths. Miss
lICHullA ldDlC VI tHC udlSy, nlC AOi SSt-
me-not, the buttercup and the violet will
be benefcially remembered by many and
serve as guidepost for more Christ-like
aspirations. The neatly arranged bou-
quets of variegated flowers given out as
the chapel was left carried subtitle mes
sage that spoke all languages and con-
formed to all creeds. The little bow of
white ribbon, symbol of temperance, is
also an emblem of benevolence, charity
and good will; such is the impression left
