BRITISH JAIL IS
 GOOD ID GANDHI
India Nationalist Is Being We'll
 Treated by Authorities

Bombay, July 2s.-That Mahatnaa Gandhi has been receiving every pos. sble consideration from the authori- ties of the Sabarmati jail where he Is confined, Is evident from the reports of the many friends who have visited him there. Gandhi spends at least half an hour each day in spinning and is Jdevoting hts remaining energy to literary work He Is allowed to have his own food brought to him. Goats milk, toast, oranges and raisins constitute his usual diet
 One who visited Gandhi in jail recently describes his life there as follows:
 Ever since his arrest, the authori- ties have been very kind and con siderate. They place no restrictions on interviews, but grant as ni~c5 as 1t Is possible to arrange for. At these interviews, either the superintendent or the jailer is present.
 "Gandhi sits In the veranda in front of his cell with a quilt on the floor and with two pillows at his back, in the same style as in his own home
 
 Gandhi receives them in his veranda They discuss all sorts of questions. no restrictions being made as to the sub jects for conversation.
 Gets All Mall.
 "The Mahatma Is allowed to receive all his letters. and even to reply to them, with the condition that the let ters are countersigned and passed by the superintendent
 The prisoners usual food consists of goats milk, toast oranges and rais- ins. These are brought to him three times day. Several months ago Gandhi made VOW not to take his second meal without spinning for at least half an hour He has been able to observe this, even while in iail.
 T was really surprised to see the progress he has made in spinning Last year, when he was in the Punjab, he was a mere novice, hardly turn ing out yarn of five counts. But now he has improved so much that he not only spins faster but the yarn is of 25 to 30 counts. I do not think there will be any difficulty for the govern ment in providing him the simple food he wants, as 1t will not cost the au- thorities any more than they are pre- pared to spend on an ordinary pris- oner.
 "One noticeable fact was that at nB time did he break any of the iail reg uations. If he is treated different ly it is not due to any request on his part, but the rather to the initiative of the authorities themselves, who are very courteous and anxious to oblige He was always cheerful. and looked upon his arrest as matter for great rejoicing to the country. To all question as to what would happen in the future, he gave the answer that non co operation. if carried on proper ly, was bound to succeed.
 "Gandhi intends to devote much of his time to writing about his past ex- periences. He may even write an autobiography. His immediate task in this line is the writing of a pam phlet on the movement in South Africa

PLA|NV|LLE SHOP l EXPECTS TO BUILD
Standard Steel and Bearings Plant
 to Be Enlarged Later

Within comparatively short time, business may pick up greatly at The Standard Steel and Bearings company in Plainville, according to statements made today by A. F. Rockwell of Bristol, president of the company Mir. Rockwell has announced that building will be commenced at the plant in the near future and the present factory will be considerably enlarged.
 Yes" said Mir. Rockwell. when speaking of the plans in view, I've are contemplating an addition to the present plant, but these are very in- definite at this time We expect the bulk of the Philadelphia output to be turned out in this factory and the Plainville plant will be headquarters soon."
 The Philadelphia factory employs several hundred hands and has been regarded as the main center for the ball bearing industry. About year ago Mir. Rockwell stated that the factory there would probably be dis posed of and the Planville plant en- larged to take care of the business being cared for there. Those plans are now being formulated.
 There are approximately 100 men employed in the Plainvlle factory to- day The force is being increased gradually.
 The machinery of the New Haven Standard Steel and Bearings company was moved to Plainville some time ago and has been set up and ready for operating.

Sherrill hesitated, then assented; ana they went round the block together to the Corvet house. Sherrill, after few instants' hesitation, took the key from his pocket and unlocked the door and went in. The rooms, they saw, were all in perfect order; summer covers had been put upon the furniture; pro tecting cloths had been spread over the beds upstairs, After their inspec- ton. they came out again at the front door, and her father closed it with d suapping of the spring lock.
 Constance. as they walked away, turned and looked back at the old house, gloomy and dark among it's newer, fresher-loeking neighbors, and suddenly she cholled and her eyes grew wet. That feeling was not for Uncle Benny; the drain of days past had exhausted such surge of feeling for him. That which she could not wink away was for the boy who had come to that house a few weeks ago and for the man who just now had gone.

Spearman poi sons Constance's mind against Alan. Somebody tries to kill Alan in the night Corvct's Indian serv- ant, Wassaquam. tells Alan he be- lieves his employer is dead.
