JAIL SENTENCE NIGHT HELP.

t HE WEST .VIRG1NIAN is in receipt of let
ter, which publishe ed yesterday, regarding
editorial comment that appeared some time ago in
this newspaper about giving ira fife offenders jail
sentences
The fact that short stay in the .'iock-up" is
likely to impress the infrequent caller from the we'll
TODD class misery and filth of the average
Jail has impressed writer of the letter who is
prisons and jails, and in helpful WORK among pri-
soners and the unfortunate.
1T is fact that salty doses of imprisonm ent
handed out to traffic Offenders would not only
bring about abrupt reformation among a lot of
&habitual volaters, but it would likely give them
a permanent impression of conditions that exist
in city and county jails which the public should
help to remedy
After all, it is seeing things that assist most
mortals in believing them. The public stands for
little abuse and wrong conditions if the public can
be sufficiently impressed with them. Upon the
business stationery of the writer of the letter to
the West Vrginian is stated the activities of the
association which he supervises- 1t covers crime
prevention, constructive prison reform, assisting
boys from state training schools, friendly aid to
first offenders in the courts, and helping paroled
and discharged prisoners to make good
A man might seek a long, long time to locate a
better, helpful field for service than the one
outlined If automobile speeders could be enlisted
either by Jail coersion of otherwise to assist in well
fare work of this kind the average life of the pres
ent pedestrian would be greatly extended and re-
formati among law breakers would cut both
ways

COAL EXPENSIVE
IN THE LARGER
EASTERN CITIES
Albuquerque Is Making a
Building Record in U. S.,
Chamber of Commerce
Manager States.

In proportion to it's population,
more building construction is taking
place in Albuquerque than in any
city east of New Mexico, is the
opinion of NJ. L. Fox, manager OF
the chamber of commerce, who re-
turned yesterday from an extended
trip through the middle west and
Atlantic coast states. The building
programs in the east are not as
extensive as was expected earlier
in the year, due to a great extent to
the present coal situation
Coal is expensive and scarce in
the eastern states, Mr.. Fox stated
yesterday, hard coal brings as high
as SIS in Philadelphia, which is
only a few miles from large coal
fields. in many cities no coal is
being rationed by the special coal
to office buildings,
the supply being used for home and
factory use.
With this exception, prosperity Is
well entrenched throughout the
east, Mr.. Fox stated and the money
market is easy, financial men ana
institutions being on the watch Tor
investments at q rather low rate
of interest. This is due to a great
extent to the coal situation which
is holding up many manufacturing
and development enterprises into
which eastern capital would ma
turally be diverted.
The middle west and eastern
harvest is a heavy one as is aiso
the fruit crop in practically all oil
the fruit growing states.

every effort was made to secure
the necessary land. but the pro-
iect was blocked through three
or four persons refusing to make
a donation Of small strip of
land necessary to connect up the
donated sections. The project
was then abandoned, but was
renewed q few months ago by
the city commission. with bet
ter results, as all but two land
owners agreed to donate land
to the city.
As one of the conditions in the
gift deeds made for the remand
or Of the land was that no land
was to be purchased for the
park, the project was again
checked and the city commission
decided that the city would start
condemnation proceedings against
all of the land.

BIG CIRCUS IS
LIKE A MOVING
CITY ON RAILS
Ringing Brothers and Bar
mum and Bailey Amaze
With Magnitude OF
Amusement Enterprise.

From the standpoint OF an en-
tertainment enterprise. Ringing
Brothers and Barnum and Bailey's
combined circus, which showed
here yesterday before two large
crowds, is almost wonderful. From
the standpoint of big business en-
torprise it really is wonderful.
New Mexico people have never
seen so many yards of canvas, SO
many circus employees and per-
formers, so many strange ana
beautiful animals, so many circus
railway cars, so much organization
and system. The handling of the
circus and its equipment and en-
ployos was like the handling of
an entire regiment of infantry; it
was like the moving of small
city; it was like the movement of a
regiment of cavalry and a motor
unit. Yet there was none of the
noise and fanfare Of trumpets that
go with the movement of troops,
and none of the confusion that
would ensue if a small city were
called upon to change its location
overnight.
How they do it, nobody knows.
But they do it.
Tho circus carries 10000 people.
hundreds of horses, main tent
almost three city blocks in length,
acres of smaller tents, a collection
Of animals that almost equals
Noahs contingent in species and
that outnumbers it in individual
varieties, q complete lighting plant,
its own police force, and occupies
100 cars.
And not a "grifter" was seen on
the lot.
As to the entertainment, it was
all that the press agents had said
for it-and they said a plenty.
Pageantry, tableauX, every variety
Of aerial work, tumblers, head bal
ancers, animal trainers, clowns, all
were Of the super variety. The
costuming was amazing in its gor-
geousness, with it's color schemes
for every act, running the entire
length of the big tent. The musi-
cal accompaniment could not be
improved.
The circus drew an immense
crowd. Many people We're here
from all parts of the state to wit
ness 1t. The kids will never forget
it, and even the grown-ups, who
thought they knew all about circus
es found they were in the Abe
class of circus spectators when

Bailey began to teach them the
higher mathematics Of the circus
