HITS LONG JAIL TERMS
Heavy Sentences Won't Break Up
Crime, Says Warden Me<enty

Long prison sentences win not break
up crime, according to Robert J. Nc
Kenty, warden Of the Eastern Peniten-
tiary.
He expressed this opinion at the fifth
annual convention Of the International
Federation Of Big Brothers and Sisters,
which opened yesterday at No. % South
Van Pelt street.
A heavy sentence does not mean any
thing to a criminal McKepty said. as
he never expects to get caught. He ex i
pressed the belief that judges who i'm
posed such sentences were adopting
wrong tactics.
As means Of checking crime. Charles
Edwin Fox, Assistant District Attorney
and president Of the Big Brothers Of
Philadelphia, urged welfare work among
youthful offenders. rather than criminal
prosecution.

But while It Is still on the horizon
1t will look like a career to her, and
when she has paid due respect to Miss

be surprised to learn that there are
nearly 800 vocations that lie open to
her ambitions.
Each field is carefully considered by
some woman who has won special dis

chosen to write about it by the Inter

has said in her wonderful book"
In her book Miss Kellor after
graphic illustrations OF the failure of
American schools, American insurance
companies, banks and business in gen
eral to understand and appreciate the
foreigners and pice Dersd, concludes
with a rare bit OF practical idealism:
"When this commercial age has ex-
hausted the treasures to be gained by
adventures into the resources OF the
earth and we have found way 10
assure to all men the necessities and
comforts of life, then mems minds
may create the age, of beauty In which
their thought will turn TO quality
rather than quantity; to simplicity
instead of ostentation; to form rather
than toward bulk; to color and line
rather than toward siza; To continuity
and precision rather than toward loose
idealism. Perhaps then the bsst archi-
tects will build the shops and homes
of the immigrants and nauve born
alike; and the best designers VIII dec
crate them and perfection Will not be
reserved for state occasions but Will
find its way into the common things
of life. We may have to wait until
then for the full assimilation OF the
immigrant, for Il may be that full
identity of interests consists less In
sharing what money alone will buy
than in the mutual appreciation of the
sniritiIal qualities Of men"
