We probably picked up more liquor and confiscated more motor conveyances including trucks and pleasure cars than any other district of our size. It has been our duty to cover the boundary line between New England and New York and, as is generally known. the Conecnticut border below Greenwich has been the gateway through which most of the illegal running took place.

pealed to irving Lesser as especially
fitting him for the title role of "Peck's
Bad Boy" and, after making arrange
ments with Warner Brothers, the con-
tinuity was prepared especially for

hance the quality of the film. The
supporting cast given Jackie Coogan is
Exceptionally strong, and the direc-

commended. After the actual film
ing was completed Mr.. Lesser pro-
cured the services of irwin S. Cobb

the subtitles, and the complete result
has been accepted by the New York

declared, discussing a new system no

Attorney General Daugherty's plan,

congress. 1t calls for the establish
ment of a new Federal vocational
training plant. where prisoners can be
taught trades and otherwise rebuilt
so they may become useful citizens
after their terms expire.
There are about 500 Young first
termers in Federal prisons, who would
be eligible for transfer from prisons

which the Attoney- proposes
to establish.
The Attorney General win ask Con-
gress to authorize him to take over
one of the big eantonments, left on the
Government hands at the end of the
war, and reconvert it into an educa-
tional institution. with Industrial feat

existing reform schools.

ITO let them remain among hardened
criminals. the life tcrmers and others,
seems to me q big mistake.

made better by some system that will

that it is not a good thing for the
country to release from prison those
