med in by rugged jungle-covered
mountains and cut off from the rest
of the Papuan tribes.
Prof. Matthew Stirling of Berkeley,
Calf, one of the leaders of the expe-
dition, described the bushmen as un-
usually friendly. Contrasting them
with the loud-yelling and menaclng
attitude of other natives below, he
said the pygmies of the mountains
talked in an undertone or Whispers
and seemed afraid of being too OBJ
trusive. They were not timid. but
quite intelligent. and always cool and
collected.
1.-The first thing they did was to give
each Of us present. The presents
consisted of their small bows and ar
row, rattan arm bracelets, ornaments,
bananas and betel nuts.
Their whole material culture was
entirely different from that OF the
Papuans. They raise tobacco, sweet
potatoes, bananas and pigs. they
brought us a pig, and all gathered
around to make a ceremony or KILL

London, o., Special-Even legis-

sometimes miss their guess.
Five years ago, the legislature
appointed a special committee to
determine the feasibility of at
tempting the completion Of the Lon
don Farm Prison with prison labor,
TT can't be done" the committee
reported. And then for nearly two
years work was at a standstill,
while hundreds of prisoners rotted
away, physically and mentally, in
the Idle House at the old peniten-
tiary in Columbus.
State Welfare Director John r.
Harper, who differed from the leg
islative committee whose adverse
report had stopped the work, got
the backing Of Governor Donahey
In a plan to give prisoner labor a
fair trial in the construction of the
prison buildings; and then he sold
his idea to a Republican legislature
Today the London Farm Prison is
an actuality and the claim that a
great institution can be built with
convict labor has been proven.
Five hundred prisoners are al
ready housed in the big administra
ton cell block building and three
more dormitories are under con
struction which will enable the
State to transfer from 500 to 70t
more prisoners to the Farm from
the Columbus prison.
The last legislature, overwhelm
ingly Republican, showed it wal
not hidebound partisan in prison
welfare matters, by appropriatin'
100000 to the Donahey administra
tion to continue the building pro
gram.

dormitories will be used for indus

Every one of the millions of brick
that have gone into the buildings
at the London institution were
made by prison labor in the states
brick plant at junction City.
,, Only one free" workman was
employed on the work and he was
a superintendent. The brick ma
sons, carpenters, stone filters,
plumbers, electricians, timers and
many other craftsmen needed to
erect the buildings were all re-
cruited from the ranks of prison
ers at the Ohio penitehtiary.
The only craft not represented
in the pen We're plasterers. \
prison Of 2900 and not single plas-
terer among them!
This made it necessary to do the
plastering work with men who had
never had a plaster board in their
hands, but surprising results have
been obtained in the plastering OF
the buildings and the men assigned
to this work have been able to
learn a valuable trade.
BY using its own brick and its
own prison labor, the State has
been able to save hundreds Of
thousands of dollars on construc-
tion work at the Farm. 5

mated cost on the Administration
building was $500,000 but Harper
built it for approximately 100000
