hammedan customs, such as touch

In Nee York
By NAMES w. DEAN

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-There Is
no adventure to be had in New York
quite as stirring as ferry ride
through tbs fog. Pilots cannot see
more than a few feet ahead, yet they
know the river and harbor are
aswaran with craft.
Direction is found by sound. The
various wharves have bells of vary
ing tone and the ferry pilot recogniz-
ing his own particular bell heads in
that direction.
All craft keep up an incessant
blowing Of whistles and ringing of
bells. They proceed at very slow
pace.
AL OF which creates for the ferry
passenger an atmosphere of great
suspense. Some great bulk is likely
to loom up at the side OF the boat
any minute. There will be screech.
ing Of whistles and the churning Of
water as the vessels are thrown into
reverse. There may be a collision,
passengers being hurled to the decks.
But the thrill Is in putting foot
ashore after the ride.
A heavy FOG will discommode hum
dreds Of thousands OF those who
work IN New York and bring about
heavy financial losses to business
firms.
The only means OF transportation
between Staten Island and Manhat-
tar are the ferries. The trip under

IIAI stated before a joint legisla-
lie tive committee on appropri-
atoms recently that there are 1886
prisoners in >the reformatory at
Pendleton, and 1S9 in State prison
awaiting transfer.
The number already exceeds the
present capacity OF the institution
by so per cent and seven to twelve
prisoners are being received daily.
cit makes me feel funny''-re-
marked the committee chairman
latter 1 told the House two years
ago the new institution would ac-
commodate 1900 prisoners, sufi-
cient for the States needs for 100
years. It certainly looks like a
breaking down Of the morale of the
people
A considerable fraction of the
States population seems determined
to break into the reformatory. Prob
ably the moral censors of the age
will agree that practically all ought
to be there.
UnquestionabIy the rapidly in
CIedSlHg numper OF inmates IN penal
Institutions is serious. But about
all society can do is to nuddle
along, enlarging prisons, and hoping
the crime wave win recede.
However, moral bankruptcy isn't
as imminent as the prison matricu-
lation would suggest. Despite the
increase only about one In thou
sand Of the States inhabitants are
in penal Institutions. AS long as the
other nine hundred and ninety-nine
remain outside there is hope for the
ultimate salvation of civilization.

Mud
BY HAL COCHRAN

There is mud upon the highways
and there's mud where'er you walk.
The mucky, running stuff is holding
sway. No matter how much mother
may explain or try to talk. the mud's
the place the kiddies like to play.
You can dress up little sister in
her garments spankin' clean. You
can send her out to get the open air.
In short time, when you want her,
find muddy, mucky scene, and
you'll also find that little sisters
there.
Tough Tommy puts his boots on
and he HES him out to play. He's
the sort OF child that's boyhood
through and through. Every mother
knows the story is the same one
every day. Very soon you'll find
him wading through the goo.
Even dad is rather guilty, for
when nighttime rolls around, he will
enter home as quiet as mouse.
Why the sneaking? Well, the an
swer to the questions always found
in the fact that he's trailed mud ali
through the house.
All the family greets warm
weather, with its touch Of balmy
air. Yet, to mother, there is moth
Ing could be worse When there's
mud and slime a-pIenty, does It
seem exactly fair that we all should
make the springtime days curse7

ScafoEds

WO men hurtled to their
| | deaths few days ago from
- the eighth story of the new
Circle Motor Inn A cable holding
the scaffold on which they were
working slipped and precipftated
them to the pavement below.
1t was just one Of those accidents
that occasionally befall those who
work in high places.
Every day men unconcernedly
work on fiimsy scaffolds far above
tie street. Trusting to, a bit of rope
they pursue prosaic tasks where a
misstep win plungs them to eternity.
They don't feel heroic; they are
merely earning a livelihood.
A steeple-jack washes the face of
Miss Indiana atop the Monument, or
gilds the Statehouse dome and pedes-
TRANS pause and stare, It is to
them daredevil exploit that no
sane man would undertake.
The same pedestrians will vouch-
safe scarcely a glance at workmen
perched on temporary scaffolds
washing or welding paint brushes five
or six stories above the ground. The
sight is too common. However a
fall from the sixth floor would be as
obnterating as fall from the tor
of the Monument.
Yet it is these workers who make
our modern cities possible. Without
them we would be living in a two
story civilization. Only when scat
fold gives way are we reminded of
the hazards Of their jobs.
