VENICE PRISON FOR CONCERTS
Council Decides to Put Dungeons
Built in Sixteenth Century, to
Modern use.

Milan.-All lovers Of Venice will
learn with regret that the municipal
council has decided to turn the old
prisons to some modern use.
The old prisons, which are connect
ed with the Palace Of the Doges by
the famous Bridge Of Signs, were con-
structed In the Sixteenth century by
Giovanni da Ponte and were the scene
of many historic episodes. Several
high political personages were exc
cuted there under the Republic and
later on patriots like TommaseO and
Manin were thrown into them by the
Austrians. There is proposal to
make concert hall Of the old prison.
The prisons underneath the leaden
roof OF the Doges Palace. known as
the Piombi, were destroyed In 1877.
From the passage leading TO the Bridge
of Sighs a staircase descends To the
Pozzi-dungeons with 4 torture cham
her and u place Of execution. The
prisons built by sia Ponte are the GRIM
lnal prisons. which have been In use
for ordinary criminals.

FROM OUR EXCHANGES

So many people are ready to find
fault with the length or the subject
of a sermon. Time was when people
regarded church as place of wor-
ship. The pastors sermon was more
or less incidental and his real worth
was measured by his example for
good in the community and his sin
cerity as man. Perhaps the idea
is homely and out of date, but like
most homely and out of date ideas, it
is sensible.-Haxtun Harvest.

law and that the country tends to
right itself like a tossing ship. Ac-
cording to this chart there should be
in the near future better business for

workers are becoming scarcer than

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Federal aid has c,one great deal
more for the country than simply to
provide funds for road construction,
according to the bureau of public roads
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. One of the most far
reaching results has been it's influence
in placing the greater part of the high
way work of the country in the hands
of experienced engineers of state high
way departments.
In 1915 prior to the federal-aid act
10 per cent of the road work was done
by agencies other than state high
way departments, most of it by county
officials. Such system was bound to
be wasteful. Overhead costs were
high, engineers We're not always en-
ployed, systems to serve the best in
terests of the state as whole We're
not developed, and the opportunities
for corruption were greater.
