WORK IS STARTED
ON PARK PROJECTS
Two New Links in System
viii Open New Motor
Routes Through City.

Two projects that are destined to
fractions of WashinGton's park sys-
tenn We're gotten under way today
when one corps Of workmen began
operations on the new parkway from
Massachusetts avenue to the Potomac
River and another started construc
ton of the driveway that is to cut
through Rock Creek Valley from the
Geological Park to Massachusetts
avenue.
Lieut. Col. Clarence O. Sheriff..
director of public buildings and pub
lie parks. explaining what these
projects are to create, pointed out
that the new Rock Creek Valley road
will have three entrances. One will
come in at Calvert street, down past
the Connecticut Avenue Bridge. an
other at Belmont road and the third
through the Geological Park.
Completion of this driveway will
add another valley of beauty to the
motorists route map of Washington.
For many years it has been acces-
sible to the hiker and horseback rider,
but il has been a closed paradise to
the motorists.
The new Rock Creek and Potomac
Parkway will be bordered by a chain
of small parks and picnic groves. Col.
Sheriff. said. The entire tract. he
said. is to be cleared and put in con
, dition suitable for its proper use at
the very earliest possible moment.
When this parkway is completed, 1t
will give Northwest Washington a
new highway, free from danger of
cross streets. from nearly it's northwest
suburban limit down to the heart OF
the city From recreational stand
point. it's value is considered inn
measurable 1t will mean that "a
motorist may drive from Hains Point
at the tip Of Potomac Park, directly
through the Rock Creek Valley and
Rock Creek Park without ever having
to leave a beautiful system of cool
parks.
To begin this work, Col. Sheriff.
has an appropriation of $40, ,000. Be
fore the twin projects are completed
it Is believed that many times that
amount will have been spent. In ad-
dition to the appropriation for actual
building work, another $40, 900 is avail
able to clean up the parkway in the
vicinity of the proposed picnic
grounds.
In addition to the three entrances
10 the Rock Creek Valley drive, the
parkway, which will eventually be a
continuation of the drive. will also
have three entrances. These will be
distributed at convenient intervals be-
tween Pennsylvania avenue and Q
street.

LEOPOLD AND LOEB
IN PLEASANT PLACE

BY Consolidated Press.
CHICAGO. September 11.-One
year of prison and Loeb and Leopold,
thrill killers. already find themselves
in a favored position.
When these preCarious and PAM
pered slayeTs of young Bobby Franks
We're spared from hanging and sent
instead to prison for life, there were
those who thought confinement of the
youths would prove as severe an eX
ampi" - imposition Of the death
penalty would have done.
But il begins TO appear that these
two murderers can thrive on a prison
life, as prison life goes in these days
of modern methods.
Leopold on his first prison ami
versary has graduated from the work
bench in the shoe factory, to which
he was assigned when incarcerated,
and now he is doing clerical work in
the department. As one of the
favored prisoners he has been moved
from the old prison to the new model
structure at Statewide, said to be the
most pleasant penitentiary building
in this country.
Loeb. who had many convinced that
he had gone crazy after he had gone
into tantrums a while back, is now
well. He has graduated into the
straw boss class and with all his 20
years is bossing other prisoners en-
gagged in cleaning the prison yard He
still is at the old penitentiary at
Joliet.
Neither Of the Youngsters. who
once ranked az among the most bril-
liant of University Of Chicago stu
dents. shows any strain of punish
ment after the first year Whether
the coming years will tell on them is
a different matter. Leopold is con
sidered a model prisoner and may
expect favored treatment. Loeb
doesn't fit In 50 well. but Is resolving

said to be functioning in good shape.

NEW YORK. September 11.-Judge
William II. Atwell of Dallas, Tex,
now sitting IN the Federal Court here
to relieve an OverCrowded calendar
is applying a psychology to his cases
that has caught the interest of New
Workers at a. time when there is keen
discussion over mild prison sentences
during the crime wave.
So successful are his methods that
court officers say he has men thank
ing him for three-year terms at At
lanta, promising to cut off an arm
and d leg rather than continue the
drug habit, and being led off to jail
smiling.
Recently after having sentenced
Samuel Alpert, q years old, to the
Federal penttentiary for l3 months.
Judge Atwell shook hands warmly
with him and said: when you come
out of Atlanta and meet bad com
panions, tell them all to go to hell
and say, I'm going straight" Give
me your hand. my boy, and promise
me that you will try what l have
told you"
On another occasion before SEN
fencing two drug addicts, Judge At
well had them repeat after him:
" Old man, you can't have any
more of that stuff" You must repeat
this over and over the way 1 do when
fight off the desire for a cigar
Wants Satisfied Customers"
In explaining his work, Judge At
well, who is from the northern dis
tr'ict of Texas, and has been sitting
at Dallas, said:
II do not like the word prisoner
When a man comes before me he is a
customer for justice. 1t is my job to
have satisfied customers"
In addition to the hypothesis that a
man is innocent until he is proved
guilty, Judge Atwell takes the -atti
tude that, after having committed a
crime and served a Jail sentence to ex
plate that crime, a man is Just as hon
est a man as he was before. Judge
