PRISON NEEDS
New Yorker Pleads for Kindness to
InMates-Plan Bethany Home
Christmas.

Selfishness, manifested by poll
ttcians, is greatest obstacle in the
way of bringing about better con-
ditions in penitentiaries according
to B. Ogden Chisholm. New York,
who addressed the Rock Island Ro-
tary club today.
THE politician says me first
remarked the speaker, 1.-THE party
next, and last OF all the prisoner.
Many wardens instead Of obeying
the dictates of their own con-
sciences have 10 submit to political
leaders or lose their Jobs"
His topic was "Humanizing the
Prison, and Mr.. Chisholm said
the second obstacle was the "old
time belief that time is a cure for
crime, this resulting in long SELL
fences being imposed upon often
ders."
And third on the list Of impede
ments," he continued, ''is the gen
eral belief that it is possible to re-
form men by bullyragging and
browbeating them. Many criminals
are prison-made."
There Is a time in the career OF
every prisoner" he claimed, when
reform measures attempted in the
spirit Of kindness would be effica-
ciOus. That is the time when a
parole should be issued"
DR.. B. Lederer, Chicago, made
an appeal for a representing.
The Salvation Army made an ap-
peal in behalf OF the drive for S.
$50 to be inaugurated Monday.
T. A. Murphy. secretary OF the

said that the Salvation Army had
refused to accept z $4,000 budget
and that it had not given co-opera-
ton to other organizations in well
fare work.
On motion the suggestion made
by DR.. Lederer that a committee
Of Rotarians be named to assist in

ferred to the board of governors.

fused TO divulge the extent Of the

say. that the whole situation has
been covered. He admitted that his
time in Rock Island would neces-
sarily be limited due to the demands
for his services elsewhere In the
state, but indicated that the whole
matter might b. thrashed out b
fore the grand jury before he Is re-
quired to leave the city again.
Pedigo Ducks Camera,
Pedig0, after being questioned for
two hours, was escorted to the
county Jail by Detective Mosher and
Officer William Epperson and Joha
Kinney.
A camera man was stationed out
side of the court house to snap a
picture Of Pedigo as he was being
escorted to the Jail. In coming
down the steps Pedigo spied the
camera man and walked the entire
distance to the jail In a crouching
position, hiding behind Detective

hind his escorts until the door was
opened to the Jail and he was ad-
mitted.

Zip INVALIDS TO FORGET
Rresence Of a Canary or Goldfish In
the Sickroom Invariably Has
Beneficial Effect.

Next time you sit in a room, the
furnishings of which include a bowl
Of goldfish, consider how much time
you spend watching the small fish as
they swim slowly about or dart about
in pursuit Of each other.
Probably you will conclude you
were indulging the usual tendency OF
the normal person to be attracted to
moving objects. In sick persons and
convalescents this tendency is more
pronounced, and in the aged and very
young it is still more so.
That psychology of this attraction
was given by DR.. Edward N. Leavy,
formerly veterinarian to the animals
in Central park zoo. He is now con-
nected with Fifth avenue pet store.
"Sick persons lying in bed spend a
great deal of time watching the gold
fish if an aquarium is in their room"
he said. 1T takes their minds off
their pains and aches and is very ben
eficial."
Canaries share with goldfish the
honor Of being the chief animate en-
tertainment to the sick.-New York

With the Introduction of silk and

practical and also smart, for those
who defy the winters of the North.
