Making BAD
Men GOOD
Effective Revolutionary Method
Use by the Salvation Army
in Prison Work.

During the last year The Salvation
Army has found employment and
given financial aid TO $500 discharged
prisoners. The old story of the man
who cannot find job because he has
done time" is thing of the past, for
The Salvation Army is always willing
to find him employment The old tale
OF the convict who is driven back to
crime through poverty and friendless-
ness is out of date, for The Salvation
Army is daily applying its theories OF
practical Christianity to the prison
problem.
In 3S3 prisons and reformatories
during the last year, 5000 religious
meetings were held under the auspices
OF the Salvation Army. They were at.
tended by more than 100000 prisoners
and more than $500 men and women
declared their intention of becoming
selfrespecting and useful members OF
society.
Nor does The Salvation Army con-
fine its prison activities to convicts
and eX-convicts. The entire family is
frequently cared for and protected by
The Salvation Army Food is provided
where there is want, shelter is given
to the homeless. and a spirit of for
giveness is instilled in order that the
family may be ready to welcome the
transgressor on the day of his release.
In connection with the work Of The
Salvation Army. both inside and out.
side OF the prison gates, some Of the
most remarkable stories might be told.
Among the conversions made during
the last year are some of the most
notorious criminals in the United
Statesmen who were old-timcrs
hardened offenders who had spent the
major portion of their adult years be-
hind bars. And in almost every in.
stance the conversion has been sin
cere. Out Of the scores placed on
parole to The Salvation Army from
every State and every county during
the last year, only eight per cent. Of
the entire number failed to make good,
the remaining ninety-two per cent. re-
port regularly to The Salvation Army
once each month and are quickly be.
coming hard-working, seIfrespecting
men and women.
Among the recent activities of the
Prison Department Of The Salvation
Army is the Lifer's Club an organiza-
ton composed exclusively OF the Tsp
men who are serving life terms in the
penal institutions CT this country. The
purpose Of the club is to give the lifer
something to occupy his mind some
thing to keep him in contact with fel.
low prisoners in other institutions and
with the outside world The officers
Of the organization are lifers, the
members are lifers. and it will not be
long before magazine, edited by
lifers. will be circulated by The Sal
walton Army through every prison IN
the United States. as message Of
cheer for the present and hope for the
future.

Cultivated Rose Is English.

In many countries some flower is
taken as the national emblem. The
French claim the fleur de lis, the
Scotch the thistle. and the waffle be-
longs entirely to Australia the maple
leaf is the national emblem of Canada,
as the fern leaf is of New Zealand.
But the most familiar of all is per-
haps the red rose of England. Every
one has heard of the Wars of the
Roses. There is no more typically
English flower than the rose; and yet
most English roses have come from
China or from the East. The cult
waited rose, however, in its hundreds
of varieties-bush roses, climbing
scrambling, rambling roses, dwarf
roses-is typically English.

MATERNITY HOSPITALS

For the suffering womanhood OF the
world the Salvation Army has estab-
lished chain of Maternity Hospitals,
where the girls, betrayed, deserted,
without money, home and friends, may
find refuge and medical attention
While here, every effort is put forth
toward their regeneration-th first
step in which is the future care OF
their babies. When physically fit TO
go out, they are sent out to situations
with their babies. which they are
urged to keep and support, or they are
sent back to their parents and friends.
During the past year 7103 were re-
ceived into these homes of whom 640S,
or 80 per cent, returned to self sus-
tanning lives of responsibility.
Another feature of the Maternity
Hospital is that section set apart for
the respectable woman of moderate cir
cumstances who may here obtain a
room and the attention and nursing
during her confinement at low
charge. that she could not POSSIBLY af-
ford in the regular hospitals
The Salvation Army has also created
little club in each Rescue Home and
Maternity Hospital by means of which
it is able to keep in touch with the
girls who have found a haven in these
hospitals in their time of great trouble.
This is called the 'Out-of- Love-Circle'
and its members are the girls whose
little nameless babies first saw light of
day in a Salvation Army Maternity
Hospital.
They meet once a month in each of
the % cities in this country in which
there is located Salvation Army Res
cue Home for women.
All employed in positions, most Of
which the Army has secured for them,
and all making good; they come back
to their meetings out Of love, they feel
for what was done for them, and thus
try to show it by helping the inmates
of the homes toward getting new hone
for the future.
This is one of the reasons why more
than IS per cent of all the women and
girls who are graduates Of the Saliva
tion Army's 26 institutions for erring
girls are now supporting themselves
ami their children

Salt Monopoly in Ecuador.

The production and sale Of salt in
Ecuador is monopolized by the govern
ment, which enjoys good profit there
from. Salt is obtained from the sa-
linas in the provinces of Guayas, Ma
nabi and FL Orc. The works consist
Of blocks of land whose surface has
been lowered few feet, into which
sea water is permitted to seep. The
water is slowly evaporated by the
sun, precipitating crystals and thus
forming a considerable layer of salt,
which is broken into pieces for dis
tribution. 1t is estimated that the
average quantity of salt consumed by
each individual in Ecuador is thirteen
pounds per anuum.

Chief A. P. woodward, of the fire department, has followed up the com plaints of members of the department relative to motorists blocking approach ss to hydrants with their machines and otherwise hampering the apparatus and members of the department at fires by stating that he has issued orders to members of the fire department to take the numbers on all motor cars left parked near hydrants at a fire. These numbers will be forwarded to the state motor vehicle commissioners and action asked from the department Chief Wood ward says he can see no excuse trying to race ahead of the fire departments apparatus in getting to 8 fire and less for parking cars about 8 hydrant that Is to be used.
 By order of the warden and court of burfgesses and upon recommendation of Chief A. P. Woodward of the fire de- partment, notices are to be posted in Academy street between Main and Schooi streets, forbdding the parking of cars excepting on one side of the street. This is done to prevent congestion that is likely to interfere with the quick ex- is r+of the fire depaNtrnent apparatus from the central station on Academy street. Frequently when all parking space in other streets in the business section is fully occupied motorists leave their cars in Academy street lining both sides of the thoroughfare. and leav- ng only a narrow lane through which
