Abolition of sentimentalIty in
prison work was urged by Thomas
Mott Osborne, founder OF the Mu-
tual Welfare League at Auburn
prison in an address before the
annual meeting of the Prisoners
Aid Association Of Washington, at
the Trinity Community House,
Third and c streets northwest yes
terday.
when a man comes out Of prison
he should be trained so that he will
recognize his duties to the COM
munlty, but under the present
prison system this is not true,
There is too much sentimentality In
prison work-most organizations
doing this kind Of work try to find
out what they can do for the pTis-
oner instead Of giving him the op-
poTtunity OF doing something for
the betterment Of himself. Every
prisoner has some good in his
makeup, which, II given a chance,
will come TO the surface and finally
with proper development will result
in the entire reformation OF the
man.
ManIincss Plea Wins.
You cannot scare a criminal into
reforming; neither can you do it
by pity and sentimentality. Meet
him on a common ground and give
him a manly proposition and you
have already made some progress
toward making him a good citizen" 4"
Osborne explained the genera
principles OF the Mutual Welfare
League and how II had worked out
in Auburn prison, Sing Sing and
the naval prison at Portsmouth.
He related several stories Of cases
which had been brought under his
supervision and what benefits had
been derived.

Approximately score OF flying

Most OF the flying meets were con.
Quoted under the initiative or pat-
ronagc OF the various chambers of

than 500 planes were entered, flying
approximately 100000 miles, and

passengers. Half n million people
Witnessed the tournaments. the lare
est OF which were the American

Styles change in marketing, too.
Fifty years ago few stores delivered
any articles. They were in the sell
ing, not in the trucking business. they
doubtless would have told anyone who
suggested such an idea But, in time,
as the number of stores increased and
competition grew keener, some of the
merchants, to attract customers to
their stores offered to deliver pur-
chases.
This innovation proved very popular
with the public, and soon other stores
were forced to adopt the custom. At
tho start rhe idea was TO deliver arti-
cles which could not be carried con-
veniently by the customers. But as
time went on and the public fiocked
TO the stores which delivered packages
of any size, practically all merchants
fell into line and gave the same serv-
ice. A yeast cake, spool of thread,
or a handkerchief were some of the ar
ticles bought for which delivery was
asked by the unthinking public. The
