MOSTLY always that's all we have to do.
But if prisoner gets obstreperous, then
there has to be punishment for bad boys,
of course. We have to lock 'em in their
cells, where they can't go out to buy pie
or walk around the corridor or play check
ers. And if that don't quiet them, we put
them to scrubbing up floors. But these
boys won't have to be set at anything like
that They will get used to life here and
be surprised to find how busy they are.
They will sort of divide off the days with
some big event to look forward to each
day:
t'Friday, for instance, is something to
look forward to for boys like that, be-
cause it's bath day. That will keep them
busy thinking about it and getting ready
for it and taking the bath and being

Straw has several peculiarities Of its
own. Straw does not make one soft, con-
tinuous bed, but ranges itself into little
mountains and little valleys. 1t lies in
humps And the sharp ends of the straw
have a habit Of impinging themselves
stifly against the mattress ticking, so that
the sleeper as he moves about feels as if
he was being gored by the horns of in
Vulnerable small animals up and down his
legs and up and down his back
And the pillows!
Like the mattresses, the pillows, too,
were stuffed with straw, so that not even
here was there relief for their restless
heads.
And peering under the straw mattress
the newly arrived prisoners looked for the
bed spring. They hardly expected to find
the soft, inviting, spiral foundations
softly tufted with hair, which make the
delightful box springs they were ac-
customed to at home and in the clubs
The bed springs in Essex Jail are all iron
wire. with about as much elasticity and
comfort as the bars that run up and down
the iron cell door.
But there was nothing to be done about
Il and the Bootleg brotnefs nnlsned tnelr
careful examination of their little hunks
and looked about them for bureau or
dresser or something somewhere to stow
away their underclothes. There was no
such place and then it was that full
realization of the absolute limitations OF
the cell dawned upon them and one OF
the BOYS handed over to the keeper a
silver frame with his wife's photograph
in it and asked him to kindly take it down
to the warden to keep for him-there
was not one single place in the cell to
put it.
At this moment rough-neck prisoner,
who acts as handy man for the keepers,
shuffled by with shifty eyes and handed
out one single, coarse, yellow sheet for
each bed and two gray blankets. there
was no club servant to make the bed and
the brothers were not sure whether to go
down in their pockets and tip the trusty
quarter for bringing them the sheet and
the blankets. And then each of the
brothers seated himself on the wooden
chair in his eight feet by six feet cell
with its whitewashed walls and UNI
carpeted cement floor and turned their
thoughts to the next matter of serious
importance-their dinner.
OF course, prisoners in jails have to

gan the trusty, who had brought the sheets
and the blankets "1,m in for smugglin'.
My line was gettin' immigrants in that
amt allowed into the country. Not quite
your line of business, but not so different"
And then after question or two by
the Bootleg Brothers their chatty fellow
prisoner went on:
ooh, the grub is all right here. A lot
better than some places I've been in.
There's regular day each week for regu-
lar things. In the mornin' yer always get
oatmeal, or something like it, and coffee
and milk and sugar and bread and butter.
Now dare amt many jails that gives yer
milk and sugar with yer coffee. And
you'd be in many more jailS before you'd
find one that would give yer butter with
yer bread, Pm tellin' yer. Some mornin's
it's cornmeal mush instead of oatmeal,
and other mornin'S it's cream of wheat.
But yer always sure of butter with bread
and milk and sugar with coffee. And /
calls that treatin' yer pretty fine.
Dinner comes in the middle of the
day. Dinners all right. One day we get
roast pork, lima beans and potatoes, and
another day we gets frankfurter sausages
and potatoes and another day we gets
lamb stew with potatoes and tomatoes in
the stew. And one day every week we
gets roast beef with gravy and peas and
potatoes. Roast beef day is Sunday. And
yer always gets bread with butter and
coffee with milk and sugar. And that's a
good enough dinner for anybody.
Fer supper-well, of course, supper

better here than in most places you get
sent to. We get macaroni and tomatoes
and the next night stewed prunes and
another night stewed peaches"

boys.
"Sure, you don't get any meat for
supper. Didn't | say yer have meat for
dinner? Yer get bread and butter and
tea with milk and sugar. Amt bread and
butter and tea with stewed prunes or
stewed peaches supper enough for any
body?"
The La Montague brothers fixed their
gaze upon their fellow prisoner, but made
no comments. The trusty seemed to feel
that his enthusiastic recital of the good
food had not awakened the response he
had hoped and Montaigu La Montague
sensing this feeling and not wanting to be
reported about the Jail as grumbler, said
hastily:
"Well, we're much obliged. The bill
of-fare seems to be all right. I-er-we-er-

And you heard about the pie? Yes,
We let the prisoners buy pie if they want

can buy cigars, too-if they've got the
money. Oh, Pm telling you there's worse
places than this Jail, and they'll get along

eyes, there's lots here to pass the time
away. On Sunday they can hear mass
early and then go to Bible school and
church on Sunday afternoon. Sunday is
quite busy day, you see. Saturday, if
they want to, they can hear very nice
Jewish rabbi that comes around-that will
be a Change for them. And now and then
we have Young Mems Christian Associa-
TONS testimonial and exhortation meeting.
There's one here to-day, but they didn't go
to it; they were so busy getting settled,
suppose. But they will get in the habit of
going to the exhortation meetings later
on. Even if they don't have any personal
experiences Of getting religion to tell. it

They may talk and play checkers and

And so the good-hearted, good-natured
Warden McGuinness closed the steel door
and prepared to make his rounds for the
day to see that all the prisoners were
where they ought to be and that every
thing was as it ought to be. The new
arrivals were getting ready for their eve
ming meal of bread and prunes with such
relish as they may have had. And it would
be a long time from this early meal on
those straw mattresses before the rising
bell rang through the prison at $50 in
the morning.
Why it is thought desirable to drive
everybody out of bed in Jail at $50 in
the morning and put out the lights and
plunge them in darkness at 900 in the
evening, nobody seems able to explain.
This means nine and one-half hours in
bed and nobody takes any such sleeping
allowance when they are at home. Per
haps it is one of the ways of punishment
to switch off the lights at nine o'clock
and leave man with his conscience on
a straw mattress for nine and half hours
with a stomach full of bread and prunes
as he listens with expectant joy for the
6 80 bell, which will notify him that his
breakfast of mush and bread is ready for

This was tho sad news brought
back by Joseph NJ. Schenck. leading
Independent producer and maker OF
Norma and Constance Talmadge and
Buster Kcaton features, on his re-
turn from New York.
Frenzied bidding for the services

schenck also predicted rise in the
price OF admission TO picture patrons
and a concentrated effort on the
part OF producers to reduce produc~
ton costs. These are necessary to
insure the producer fair return on
his investment, as a result OF the
present trend toward more elaborate
production, said Schenk.
The producer expressed the opin-
ion that the depression into which
the industry has slumped. and which
has eliminated in the closing down
OF Famous Players-Lasky and Uni
yersal studios. Is just a temporary
lull preparatory TO a readjustment
