by the state welfare department.
Work is progressing on the new
building for vocational z training
and has advanced to- such a stage
that the Iearly occupancy of. this
building is announced. Just as soon
as this can be done the women VIII
be taught various trades, and given
employment that viii help defray
the cost ofatheir keeping! In the
past they have done all the institu-
tion work, laundry, ETC., but the
population is growing SO rapidly
that scores of inmates are now un-
empIoyed Marysyflle 'reformatory
now has a population of over 800,
Iwhile the number of inmates, when
| the women were occupying a special
block at the Ohio penitentiary, was
lust about one-tenth that number.
With the present increase being
maintained and in spite of a liberal
parole policy, it is only a question of
time when the Institution will have
a permanent population around
500. 2l 74e4ftiafq 7fo5t73 DIV 57e.

Pure Water For Motorists g
Again the federal government is
going to copy an Ohio plan. The
nation has not only called many of
Ohio s. great men TO its head, but
scores of laws and usages of the
Buckeye state have been copied not
only by the nation but many other
states. The latest original plan for
the nation to follow is that of desig-
mating pure water along the main
thoroughfares of every state in the
Union This was originated by Gov
Vic Donahey, who personally recog-
nized the advantages of labelling
pure and wholesome water wells |
with state seal of approval. The
plan has proven unusually success
ful and hardly day passes but |
what letters are received by Dr.. j.

department, from tourists who. con-.
