Terrell Suggests State Prison Farm

Establishment Of State prison
farm colony for first offenders is rec
commended by Warden ]. Z. Terrell of
the West Virginia State penitentiary
at Moundsville as a result of the
doubling of the penitentiary's popula-
tion in the last IS months, from $50 on
January |, 1921, to 100 at present.
Declaring the present penitentiary
can properly accommodate not more
than ZOO prisoners, Warden Terrell
recommends that the State purchase a
large farm and establish State prison
farm colony, "where all first offenders,
especially young men with short terms,
could be sent and let the older and
more confirmed type of so-called GRIM
mails continue to be sent to the peni-
tertiary"
The warden suggests that ordinary
frame buildings to be used as bar
racks for the prisoners with the en-
tire property enclosed with a non
climbable fence would be sufficient.
Our idea" he said, "is to give young
first offenders chance in the open.
The labor and the land at this farm
colony could be used for producing
farm and dairy products of all kinds
for other institutions, not only made
self sustaining, but contribute help in
maintaining other public institutions"

Balloon Goes Up Is Miles.

A record height for the Washing
ton district was reached recently by
the balloon sent up by the Weather
Bureau Of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture in connection with
its observations Of upper air condi-
tions. The balloon was seen to burst at
p, 500 meters, a height of about l3
miles, after being watched 123 min
utes.
The Astrological service OF the
Weather Bureau releases a balloon
filled with hydrogen gas twice daily,
at a. m. and at p. m, from the
roof of the Weather Bureau Building,
provided there is no rain. The OBJ
ject is to get the direction and We
locity of wind movements of various
elevations as far as the balloon can be
observed. These balloons are small,
about 2H feet in diameter when in
Hated, and made of the finest quality
of uncolored rubber. The watching is
done through a theodolite,. and the
time is kept by a clock which sounds
an alarm every minute. The distance
the balloon travels is calculated from
known computations of now high a
balloon of given weight will rise per
minute.
The information obtained is useful
when recorded on charts showing con-
ditions at various elevations for each
of the Is stations of he Weather Bu-
reau scattered over the United States
which make these particular obser-
vations and is an aid in the daily task
of weather forecasting. An unusual
point in connection with this record
height reached on August II was the
fact that, although the general drift
of winds in the Washington district
is from west to east, the prevailing
winds on this day were from the
east and northeast.

LONDON, Oct. .21.-The British

INTO line with the United States In
the warfare on habit-forming drugs.
Al the next session of Parliament,
II has been announced, a bill will
be offered calling for far heavier

vided for in the existing statutes.

the situation has been the discovery

The debauchery Of young women

TIRED HOUSEWIFE
SHOWS HUSBAND
BY PEDOMETER
Proves Case and Seti
Down Rules for Home
Arrangements.

A tired housewife who wanted to
answer her husbands statement
that she was woman of leisure,
since she had Nothing to do but
housework." having proved that she
walks eight miles a day n her va
rious duties about the house, set her
pedometer to prove the number Of
steps which she took in each,phase
o. her work.
In the house that she and her
husband had chosen, the nursery
was light. airy room with plenty
of space for the baby to sleep and
play; a corner room on the second
floor. With the above description
its advantages are ended The
bathroom was as far away as possi-
BILE; the porch. where baby took his
nap, was as far away as possible;
the living-room, from which the
mother had to walk to the nursery
several times during the evening to
attend TO him. was as far away as
possible; the laundry was as far
away as possible.
When the housewife realized this
she forgot the corner room on the
second floor and set down three
rules for the nursery:
Cd 1t should be as near the bath
room, kitchen. ana porch as posi-
bic.
t2) Its equipment should be ar
ranged In order needed and in as
small a working space as possible.
I'D .Labor-saving devices should
be Installed to meet its special
needs.
The tired housewife when she
realized the defects of the second
moor room. rdecorated a little roor.
on the hrst floor to change IT, into
a bedroom. and built a bathroom
next it. A small hall ran between
this little room and the kitchen.
Here were bathroom. nursery, and
kitchen all together.
The porch was nearby.
In the corner Of a room seven feet
by eight feet can be placed the
baby's bureau. with the sheets, dia-
pers. towels, and gaue, and a little
tie closet containing soap. boric
acid, vaseline, talcum. medicated
cotton. etc
Near by on a stand is white
enameled bathtub. in case the bath
room is not handy. II the bath
room is near by. there need be no
extra tub. but a small rubber tub
which fits over the big tub and can
be found in any department store.
1t can be filled directly from the
faucet by short rubber hose and
has a little plug in the bottom to
drain the water off. At one side a
stretch of canvas-also fastened to
the top Of the regular tub-pro-
vides place to roll the baby in a
towel after his bath is over.
