British Lords Defeat
 Living Farm Wage Bill

LONDON, Sept. f. (P-The Mar guess of Lincolnshire, owner of 23,- 900 acres, surprised his political friends as we'll as foes by pleading recently in the House of Lords for his bill designed to give a living wage" to farm hands Many of the members, landowners themselves, twitted the eighty-year-old marquess for his sympathies with the working man and his cause, but his reply was Tut, tut-I was one myself two or three generations ago."
 The Marquess of Lincolnshire said he knew what was living wage on the land in England, and he made it plain that he practiced what he preached for his farm hands were receiving 46 shillings a week, con- siderably more than made necessary by law. As a result of his consid- eration, the marquess explained, only 19 families out of all those hundreds on his vast estates had left the land during the last 50 years.
 "Only six hours have been given to discussion of agriculture in the House of Lords since 1905," said the marquess, land I consider it more than national scandal; it is a na- tional crime and a national disgrace. ,"
 The bill was defeated by a sub stantial majority.

1 WASHINCTON-LINC0LN MEMORIAL PROPOSED
 IN DAKOTA MOUNTAINS

RAPID CITY, s. D., Sept. 4. (P)- A natural shrine, modelled from one of natures vagaries, and situated ln the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota is the vision of Gutzum Borg lum, the sculptor and group of South Dakota residents who view the Black Hills as the greatest un- developed wonderland in the United States.
 The shrine would be monument of Washington and Lincoln, standing sideby-side, their figures craved from a huge needle-like piece of granite which towers 200 feet above its i'm mediate base.
 Borglum has long held this vision. He expects soon to visit South Da- kota to discuss details for raising the $1,OOO,0O0 necessary to it's it's compile tion.
 In the Black Hills there is a group of rocks that rise perpendicularly as high as a 15 or more story office building. The rocks are known as The Needles. One of these has with stood the elements more than it's neighbors and there remains wide base from which ascends a shaft ta- pering almost to point. This shaft rises to height greater than any elevation east of the Rockies except Mounta Harney, itself in the Black Hills.
 Situated among virtual mountains or red, purple and gold, their slopes dotted with towering pines, the pro- posed memorial rock may be seen for miles before the long, slowing aS- cending trail finally brings the wis itor within it's shadow.
 Here Borglum found a setting for national memorial.
 With the advice of several South Dakota residents, Borglum chose as the characters for this memorial Washington and Lincoln, two out standing figures in American history, whom he knew would appeal to the patriotism of every corner of the United States.
 Information reaching supporters of the memorial in this state indicates that the financial problem will be met Several wealthy persons have listen ed sympathetically to the plan and it is understood one New York null timililonaire virtually has agreed to finance the project single handed.

COLLEGE BUILDING
 SHAPING RAPIDLY

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Sept. 1.-(By Mail )-With the arrival last night of two more carloads of freight for the College practically all materials ordered for the building of the West Wing, Power House and Dormitory have been delivered. With the ex- ception of about 10000 feet of lum- Der ordered by wire for forms for the concrete work, bunkhouse, cookhouse and storage sheds, and an order for a carload of cement, no orders for materials were placed until June 6. Upon arriving in Seattle en route East, President BunneI arranged with the Alaska Steamship company to handle the lumber orders on it's regular passenger boats. This has greatly expedited the delivery of ma terial. Only one shipment of lum- Der came north on freighter and that was a carload of rustic.

There are 15 lilies which can grow

more extensive tests. Perhaps the
easiest to cultivate Of these Is the

PRISON REFORMS EMPTY
JAILS OF ENGLAND
Twenty Penal Institutions on Is
land Have Been Closed Since
1924, Survey Shows.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON. August 2.-Probationary
methods for adults and the "Borstal"
treatment for young people have been
responsible for a marked decrease in
the population of British prisons. So
much so that more than 20 tails in
England and Wales, or one-third of
the total. have been closed since 1914.
There are now only about 40 prisons
in use throughout the country and
these are not fully occupied.
A home office official says that
fewer people are being committed to
prison because the tendency now is to
reform, a man or woman If it be at
all possible. The increased use of pro-
bationary methods has worked well
and in the opinion of the official the
time is not far distant when prisons
will be used only for habitual Grim
inals with whom all attempts at re-
form have failed.
During the first few years of this
century approximately 500 out of
every 100000 of the population were
sent TO prison each year. Today the
percentage is just over 100 in the 100,-
600. The greatest drop has been in
convictions for drunkenness and SINH
lar offenses.
