MAKE PRISONS SAFE FOR THE PUBLIC

IL seems too easy to escape from prison nowadays, as Chapman him self has proved. In New York the other day three notorious crooks walked out of an island prison in the dead Of night, crossed a bridge and have since not been heard from. A lone watchman saw them at 1 a. m, but nobody saw them later,
 The escape in New York invoked some caustic comments by a state prison functionary, who claimed that since prisoners are not allowed to be employed during their incar- ceration in such island institutions, but are given over entirely to idle ness, they have entirely too much time in which to think evil and be- come worse morally than they were when they entered. The official was of the opinion that long term pris- oners should be kept at work and thus keep their minds occupied.
 In the words of the original ob- server of public events, "truer words were never said"

PUTTING UP \ FRONT" WITH INCOME TAX

An official of the first internal revenue district in New York as tonished staid business men to whom he was making an address when he declared some mon in that city are paying a high income tax, based upon a mythical income, in order to fool their creditors. gratify their vanity and pose as men of large in come.
 This appears to be the zero mark in foolishness; but human nature has so many foolish phases that there is room in the realm of folly for all.
 There are other methods of put ting up a good front" which are just as foolish and half the time fool no one.

LONp IttttiS o1 ohouo t." Dear Martha:
 So you didn't get my last letter? That's funny.
 I crossed the Delaware to mail 1t, and it was no easy trip either I'd give that dollar I threw across the Potomac river to know what be- came of it. Well, I guess it can't be helped, but it surely does beat the British!
 By the way. write me at Valley Forge, as I expect to spend the rest of the winter there. No. I'm not fooling, and I meant every word of what l said when l saw you last. You know I never told lie.
 Speaking of lies, you know had some time explaining to dad about that box of cherry chocolates l sent you last month. You See, dear, that candy was his and l well, l did misrepresent a little bit. You know how dad is. I expect he'll put the story out about swiping whole tree of cherries. Queer about him, isn't it?
 Well, ta ia, dear. and remember. I am your own,

HAMPERS BRING CHANGE TO BARBER SHOPS

There was a time when a barber shop was a peculiarly man-made, man-opcrated establishment, cater ing exclusively 10 man trade.
 Thousands of women lived and died without ever seeing the inside of barber shop.
 But conditions have changed in the barbering trade. The bald-hcad- ed man who enters such a retreat to have his hair cut is no longer surprised to meet flapper passing him on the way out; nor is he sur priscd to have one entering with him; nor is he surprised to see them loling in a chair and having hir- sute adorner adorning the top of her cranium with divers sweet smelling horse linament after hay ing shortened her locks to the pre- vaiIing style and shaved the back of her neck.
 In the old days a man would have been vastly embarrassed in a bar ber shop to have a female of the species within eyesight and earshot especially the latter The gar rulous barber also would have been embarrassed to have fair damscl within hearing of his funny stories. sometimes risque stories. But there are no garrulous barbers any more; they have learned to guard their tongues. and rather than cause the girl having her hair bobbed from partaking of the old-timc barber shop chestnuts of bygone day, he remains a quiet dignifed gentle man, going about his razoring much like a surgeon lifting an appendix from its homestead.
 Customers likewise watch their words in barber shops nowadays. It Is no pleasant experience to enunciate the latest belt-bustng joke" heard at the Elks club for the edifcation Of the white-aproned functionaries in such a place only to discover, when too lntte that it soaked into the feminine cars and a feminine mind grasped its subtle meaning. Rather than such chances, a deep. oavern-like quiet reigns amidst the white tile, the shiny in- strumsnts and the steamed E.t

Joining in the reply made by the minister of war, the minister of the navy, Admiral H.

vcntion a plan is on foot to give regular Democratlc states a larger representation, or to decrease the representation of states which do not figure in the Democratic col umn on election day
 The McAdoo plan Is 10 suggest that each state shall have a delo- gate for each electoral vote and an extra delegate for each Democratic senator or representative.
 Such plan obviously would sub tract representation In the conven- ton from regular Republican states which rarely yield any Democratic representatives or senators, It is pointed out, as an instance, that Pennsylvania, which has failed to vote for a Democratic presidential nominee since the time Of James Buchanan, anu which at the last election failed to elect single Democratic congressman. has 7G votes in the Democratic national convention, which Is as many as five southern Democratic states namely, South Carolina, Florida, Louisiana Mississippi and New Mexico. Such disparity it is held, should not continue.
 But the most important thing about the suggestion is that it is followed by supplementary sugges- ton that William Gibbs McAdoo still is ambitious.

COMMUNICATED
A Crossword Puzzle

Editor New. Britain Herald. l am interested, and nat a little perplexed, by the crossword puzzles that are now appearing in the col- umns of the Herald and other pro- gressive newspapers. Being well supplied with dictionaries, geogra- phies. encyclopedias, histories (an- cient, economic and naturaD, bibles, treatises (upon law, medi- cine, art and mythology, French and Latin translations, mail-order catalogues and the works of Honore de Balzac, I have been able to work out fair proportion of them in satisfactory manner.
 Taking my cue from the anto- nyms, definitions, heteronyms, paro- nyms syllogisms, synonyms. zeug- mas etc., that are consistently hand- ed out by the Xenomanitcs, Zyxom- mas. Wynkernels, Zapuas, Yakshas, Yunxes and other Lamellirostral birds that devote their time to the construction of these puzzles, am herewith submitting one of my own; in the hope and belief that it will be equal in educational value to the average product. Here are the words: i. An article (any old article). ?. Name of a lovely lady. 3. Name of less lovely lady f. Happy holiday.
 5. First three letters of any Latin
 word more than yard long
 that does not mean anything in
 particular
 6. Pouf! '. Anything not ill contravention of
 the fourth commandment. 8. Not to be found in any dicuon-

 10. An obsolete word, Il. A cuss-word (not obsolete). 12. More curses.
 1S. Any other French word spoken
 by people who do not speak

A series which has met with great appeal - even though to write one of them Is comparatively harder than writing anything else for the Fun Shop - Is the tongue-twister poem series.
 There is a great appeal in these poems because we have punctured a myth about the word tongue twister."
 Many of our customers thought that "tongue-tw -twister' meant the first letter of each word being the same - alliteration, in other words.
 Well, you know as well as we do that one can. get his tongue twist cd" by using words somewhat slm- liar in pronunciation.

SKATING FACILITIES SHOULD BE PROVIDED

A correspondent to the Herald the other day pointedly called at tention to the fact that there ap- pear to be poor facilities for ice skating in New Britain. Others wished that a field in Stanley Quar- ter park could be flooded and got the answer that it was neither practical nor good judgment" to es- tablish a skating pond in the park this year. No apparent efforts having been made to provide skating quar- ters of consequence elsewhere, the ice enthusiasts continue to be minus that good fortune which they so eagerly crave.
 Before the recent snow there was a period Of "good skating weather which means frigid atmosphere. with the ico unclut'crcd by snow. But for lack of skating sites there was so little opportunity for in- diligence in this sport in the city that it is generally known enthus- lasts went to Hartford 10 get their fill of carccning on the ice.
 It should not be necessary for citizens of New Britain to go to Hartford for this species Of sport, It may be too late to rectify con- ditions this year but the city fathers should see to it that similar condi- tions do not exist next fall,
 As a sumuIator of good health and good appetite, ice skating nearly stands supreme. The city should see 10 it that there are suit able rinks provided in various sec tions of the city. Looking after such little details makes a good impress sion among large blocks of citizens and failure to do so docs the re- verse.
 New Britain is not as favorahly situated as an icc-skating center as some other cities, some of which are blessed with ponds or lakes within their borders or nearby while others arc contiguous to streams. But in some respects New Britain has an advantage over points along streams of depth, as there is less possibility of drown ings when the ice breaks.

MENTAL ENERGY AND CROSS WORD PUZZLES

The mental energy that is devoted to the solving of cross word puzzles is remarkable. When folks formerly had an idle hour" to pass they idled away the hour In several ways; now they work instead of idling. The work isn't called work, but it is mental work nevertheless. Find ing a vertical word of four letters meaning a fish that climbs trees is no play, no joke and no idle tom foolery; it is work. Anyone who has tried it - including almost the en- tire male and female population - can testify in a court of record that the work involved is considerable.
 Crossword puzzles must owe part of their popularity 10 the combative spirit aroused in the contestants. Such puzzle cnunciates a per petual dare; its black and white hieroglyphics changing from day to day, offer a perpetual invitation for the mental combat; always inter- estlng, sometimes profound. There is nobody claiming ability to solve every crossword puzzle ever com posed, but there are innumerable puzzle-iends who attempt it. When one is completed they so 10 another; and when six are completed they go to a seventh The idle hour is stretched into two; and some of the frenzied addicts no doubt are per- fectly willing 10 solve puzzles far into the hours usually devoted to sleep.
 Such puzzIe-nend tells US that lie is even neglecting the radio in favor of his cherished brain teasers. This is hard to understand. If some body gave him a real problem to solve. dealing with an important executive function - if for instance the boss told him 10 take some work home with him and calculate by morning how to proceed with a question Of business policy - said person woula be greatly peeved.

TO CONTROL PORT

Havre, Jan. 22.-The French gov ernment has granted autonomy to the port of Havre.
