L0Ck-UPS LACK
PATRONAGE In
BRITISH ISLES
Crime Has Not Decreased
Prisoners Are Treated
Differently.
Times WASHINGTON Bureau.
1922 Nelp YORK. ArenMe.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1O.-Whi1e
in the United States prisons recover
flowing with criminals held for
crimes ranging from speeding to first
degree murder, more than twenty
prisons in England, ard Wales have
been closed since 1314, says the
American consulate through the De-
partment of Commerce.
This reflects a reduction Of prac-
tically a third of the total number,
although the forty prisons remain
ing are by no means fully occupied.
1t also indicates decrease of about
66 per cent in the number of per-
sons sentenced to Imprisonment since
1913. The total prison population
for the year 192S24 was 5S,216. Ten
years ago it was $4,000.
The reduction in the number Of
prisons and their conversion into
dwelling places and barracks, does
not, however, mean that crime has
decreased in proportion. 1t is all in
the way the offenders are treated
by authorities.
In the United States the proceed
ure is usually that Of applying pun
ishnent after the crime has been
committed. In England they seek to
prevent a crime if possible, or when
it is not possible, greater use Of
the probationary methods for adults
and Barstal institutions for young
people is thought best. The psy-
chology of English justice is to re-
form man or woman if possible and
to resort to prison only when neces-
sary. Often unjust Imprisonment
will forever prevent the victim
from coming back"
During the first few years of this
century, about 500 in every 100000
of Great Britain's population were
sent to prison year. Today the
number is 100 to every 100000. The
leading crimes in England which
have all shown marked decreases
are drunkenness, begging, breach Of
police regulations, prostitution, as
saults, larceny, burglary, murder
and nanslaughter.

who always let me tend her
baby"
Clothes Stolen
One of the chief sources of trou-
BILE the guards have is people hav-
ing their clothes stolen from the
woods around the beach.
They're too cheap to spend a
dime to check their clothes, and
would rather hide them in the
woods. Then when some one steals
the clothes they jump on u.s."
People go in swimming with
their valuables or key ring in their
hand, and then want the. guards
to dive for them when they are
lost.
Another source of trouble is peo-
pie who can't swim, yet dive in
twenty feet of water. They have
to be pulled out every time.
The guards get SIS a month for
their varied activities.

The life Of a life guard at the
municipal bathing beaches in
cludes anything from holding baby
while mama takes a dip to being
insulted by someone after saving
his life.
If any one thinks it's a life OF

guards at the w. Twenty-Sixth

Prevent Drownings
Their man duty, Of course, is to
see that nobody gets drowned.

With 10000 people filling the river
on a hot night, it is a task.
"You just have to use your
eyes," said the guards. you can't
rely on the ear at all, when every
one gets to squawking and duck
ing his best girl.
One time Geisel and Mont
gomery rescued a woman who
weighed 240 pounds. When they
pulled her into the boat, it started
to sink, and they had to dive over
board.
.'She got mad when we told her
not To go back in," said Geisel.
Many mothers ask the guards to
tend baby so they can swim I'M

I'VE don't have to, so it sort
of depends on who she Is and how
she looks" said one Of the guards.

HO0SIER TRADE
BODY CHAIRMAN
CHANGES From /
Van Fleet Switches Sympa-
thies in Commission De-
cision or Big Business.
Times staff Corresp omdent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Vernon
Van Fleet of Bristol, Ind, chairman
IF the Federal Trade Commission.
has raised conjecture here whether
he is going to inject a spark OF life
into that somewhat moribund body.
Six weeks ago he led the chorus
to Commissioner Humphreys hymn
of praise Of all American big bust
ness, good, bad and Indifferent At
that time he Joined Commissioners
Humphrey and Hunt in a revision
of the rules of procedure, over the
violent protest of Commissioners
Thompson and Nugent
Changes Front
But now comes Chairman Van
Fleet hand in. hand with Nugent and
Thompson and orders dissolution Of
a consolidation of two large shoe
manufacturing companies over the
almost fearful protest Of Humphrey
and Hunt.
The decision Of the commission,
just announced, orders the Interna-
tional Shoe Company, St. Louis, to
divest itself of all stock ownership
of the w. H. McElwain Company,
Boston. The joining Of the stock of
the two companies, doing an extern
sive business in several States, is
held by the majority Of the commits
sion to substantially lessen compe-
tition,' and in violation Of the Clay
ton act. The dissenters view the
consolidation as not only legal but
beneficial to all parties concerned,
including the consumers.
Position Important
Asked if his joining Thompson
and Nugent in this case indicated a
change of heart, or head, in regard
to the proper wor kof the commits
sion, Van Fleet said that it did not.
Van Fleet simply .averred that in
order to be right all the time he
might have to join either one of the
two conflicting minorities now and
then. On which minority he joins
most regularly will depend, OBJ
servers believe, whether the COM
mission will become essentially a
rubber stamp of big business, or q
definite force in molding the bust
ness practice and policy of the
country.
