IN THE NATIONS
CAPITAL EMPTYING THE
WORhHOUSE

The report of the Board Of Chair
ties of the District of Columbia for
the fiscal year 1921 shows a contin-
ued decline in the population of the
workhouse and other correctional and
reform institutions. The report,
signed by Mr.. William 7. Galliher,
Chairman of the Committee on Re-
formatories and Correctional Institu-
tions and others, says: "Thc most
encouraging fact to be noted in con-
nection with the workhouse is that
during the year the daily average
number, Of prisoners was only 2OS as
compared with 334 the preceding
year. This is the lowest number re-
corded since the establishment of the
new workhouse at Occoquan, eleven
years ago.
The average population of the jail,
during the year was 243 as compared
with 297 the previous year, and the
daily average number at the Boys
National Training School was 341
as compared with 800 the previous
year. There was, however, an in.
crease of three in the daily average
at the reformatory and of six at the
Girls School.
The daily average number of in
digent patients treated at the hos.
pitfalls declined from $50 in 1920 to
SCI in 1921.
The District of Columbia went
dry November 1st, 1917, and became
"bone-dry" February 25, 1919.
The daily average number of per-
sons in the workhouse in 1917. the
last. full wet year, was 631. Since
that time the population for the sue
ceeding years respectively: 373, E35,
1874, and EOS. The average popula-
ton of the Aims House was 326 in
the last wet year and since then has
been as follows: 800, 296, 2S7, and
277.
The report of the Jail states that
for last year. the full year of (Na-
tional) prohibition, the number OF
jail sentences for intoxication was
Sal. falling off Of LOSS from the
previous year. This year the total
was 1907, a gain of 256. This shows
an increase over last year, the fig
ures, however, still being far below

Comparing the state OF Virginia
with the rest of the United States,
conditions are better than the
average. From January 81 to
December 81, 1921, reports from
fourteen manufacturing industries
in the sixty-five leading industrial
centers Of the United States, show
that the number of employees de-
creased more than one hundred
thousand. In this state, as noted
there has been an increase, which
is indeed a hopeful and encourag.
ing sign.

STATE INDUSTRIAL
CONDITIONS

The U. S. Employment Bureau:
of the Department OF Labor, in
its latest report, gives good cause
for cheer as to the industrial out
look in Virginia. Employment
conditions in Richmond are bet
ter than at any time within the
past year. There is a substantial
increase in the number OF en-
ployeS, and the trades are prac-
tically working full time and full
force. In Norfolk there is like
wise a net increase in the number
Of hands employed, and renewal
OF activity in nearly all the lines.
Lynchburg has an increase in the
number OF industrial employees,
and unemployment is noted only il
senli-skilled and common labor.
Petersburg is working with q
seventy-five per cent efficiency
but Improvement is looked for III
the spring. Roanoke is not quite
up to standard, due mainly to the
reductions in the la.lroad forces.
Outside of this the ohi-r indus
tries are about normal.

When in Heaven we meet again.

Type 81 cAchieves
Greatest Success
in Cadillac History

TT was almost inevitable that
i Type 81 should bear out its
reputation as the greatest
Cadillac by establis hing a re-
markable sales record.
That much was apparent imme-
diately following its introduction,
when Type 81 enjoyed a reception
such a. is seldom accorded an
automobile.
But in the last few months this
initial enthusiasm for the new
Cadillac quickened to demand
that was little short of phe-
nomenal.
Seemingly the entire public had
become intensely aware Of Type
81 superiority, and sales attained

became a fact and a certainty.
