HIGH WAR WAGE
MAKES OUTLAWS
Workers, Used to Big Pay, Re-
sent Reductions.

LONDON, Dec. 19.-The high wages
which prevailed in wartime are blamed
, " the governor of Durham Prison for
the creation of a new class Of lawbreak-
ers who have sprung into existence in
the last few months. The governors con-
illusions are given IN the report of the
commissioners of prisons.
The governor does not accept the
theory that the spirit of lawlessness
acquired by men while serving with the
military forces is to blame for this
outbreak of dishonesty.
THE fact that women equally with
men are the offenders discounts the
value of this explanation" he says. IL
think the explanation is rather to be
found in the fact that high wages, once
asily earned, more easily spent, are now
not obtainabIe.

low absorption and the smooth wall sur

it especially desirable. Complete and
perfect circulation of air through all

large air spaces, SO arranged as to con-

Of exposed surface in these air spaces

draw off moisture and prevent 1t from
going directly through the end walls.

ance against damp inner walls"
