MODERN IDEAS IN
 BRITISH PRISONS
England Has Made Great Strides
 in Way Of Reform

London, Nov 2S. Prison reform
 In England lags far behind what has
 been accomplished in America, but it | has even so made such progress that
 some critics are declaring too much
 is being done in the direction. of mak-
 ing things easy and comfortable for convicts :, F553'E N.
 In their annual report the commits l sloners Of prisons have foraeen this l charEer and have answered it. Tt is
 our duty" they say, "as the custo- dians of those who are for time
 forcibly separated from fife in the
 civic comfntinity, to restore them to it
 at least as 1t us when we received them. To this end we should feed and
 exercise their minds as well as their bodies, else we shall restore them to the stern competition of life outside quite unfitted to take their part in it."
 Within the last i2 months, changes have been effected in the treatment Of convicts that would have been re- sarded as revolutionary q few years Ggo. These are all in the direction Of NNUe5 liltil NSNli GOllNifIS dFh human beings. and that the punish n1ent of the inmates is not the pri- mary object of prisons.
 The broad arrow, everywhere known as the badge of the convict, no longer appears on prison garments, They have now no distinctive markings Neither is it any longer insisted that the hair of conyicts be clipped close to the scalp. The rules prohibiting conversation between prisoners while at work have been greatly re'axed. l conviets are no longer required to re- 1 neive their visitors from the outside world behind bars or wire netting. |
 Concerts, plays and lectures are to- | lay given in many iails. Conviots, by good conduct, may earn the privilege 1f smoking at times. stern disctp4 inarians of the old school would have 'egarded such indulEonccs as utterly Inbversive of everything for which ,risons have been instituted in civll+ &ed communities.

FAT IS ALUXURY
 NOW IN GERMANY
Only Persons With Plenty Of
 Money Can Afford to Buy It

Berlin, Nov. 2S.--IeatT ono of the
 chief essentials of cooking in 4Ger.
 many. has come to be such a luxury
 that only persons with fiat" pocket. books can afford 1t. At the end oI
 October lard was costing 1000 marks
 a pound, while butter was bringing only 750. .} r.
 The imports of hog-fat today | amount to about two-thirds their pre- l war volume, and German farmers
 complain they cannot fatten their porkers now as formerly because they
 no longer get the nourishing Russian
 barley feed.
 Consumption of meat in Germany is now only 43 per cent of what it was before 1914. In their efforts to find q satisfactory substitute for the high priced fatty foods, people are turning more and, more to sweets Chocolate candy particularly. is in growing de- mand, Fruits and pastries are in high favor, and slices of bread are now spread with preserves or marmalade where formerly they would have been eaten with a thick coating of butter, margarine or lard.
 Goose was leading meat in the old days, because of it's unusually large grease content, but even this fa- Vorite has suffered heavily, In pre-. war times. $500, 900 geese were im- ported every year. az compared with 9,0s3 during the first two-thirds of this year.
 Previous to 1914, each year saw an import Of 106,600 double centners Of dressed chickens and 22,000 double Centners of ducks. From January i to September 1, 1922, both imported chickens and ducks together amount ed to only B07 double centners.
 Dairy produce also has been hard | hit by the enforced change in appe- | tites. The first eight months Of inc 1 year registered 1Q,442 double centners of butter coming in, against 550,0OO I annually before the war. The former yearly import Of milk was $50. .O0O |. double ceutners and of cream 444,- 900. In the eight months ending Sep .ember i, imported milk has amount ,d to 62,iS9, and the inflow of cream cached the ridlculousty low figure of .22 double centnera.
 Eggs formerly came here from ibroad at the rate Of i,667, 800 double ientners a year, besides the arrival Of 7, tS4 double eentners eG eeg yolss -ione. From January | to September 7, this year, the position was reversed nd these imports stood at i,s85 and l,bfo double eentners respectively.
