Miss Ada Mackenzie. Canadian

JENSEN and LEO,
THE LION, CRASH
Former at Ranch, Latter Still
With Wreckage

Phoenix, Ariz.. Sept. 20 P,-Mar-
Tin Jensen, ocean flier whose at
tempt to make nonstop flight
from San Diego to New York with
full grown lion as passenger
ended In forced landing on an
Arizona mountain side, rested TODAY
at Apache Lodge. 125 miles north of
here, while plans were being made
TO extract the lions cage from the
wrecked plane.
Jensen, who had been missing
suce late last Friday, appeared yes
terday at a ranch near Apache
Lodge after a three day hike from
the scene OF his smashed plane. He
left the lion unframed by the alb
rupt landing but somewhat thirsty
and with growing hunger.
The lion, a. veteran OF the circus
and long Injured to motion picture
work. but a novice at flying, ap-
peared highly Disguised with his pi-
lot. according to Jensen's story tele-
phoned here. The lions steel cage
came safely through the crash.
J-nsen's flight started from San
Diego Friday morning. That after
noon. while flying low up a CANYON,
he suddenly was confronted by the
wall in which It ended. A tree top
stopped the plane in time to pre-
vent his striking the wall of the
canyon but it rolled over twice after
landing.
Il didn't have time to think of
what might happen while the plane
was rolling over on the tree, not
even il the cage should have split
open and dump the lion on me-"
Jensen said. But it seems to have
taken care of himself in the cage
While we We're tumbling and if he
didn't like it, he didn't make any
roar about it.
i stripped piece of aluminium
off the plane and made trough
that I filled with water for him
from the creek in the canyon. Then
| fixed him up with what milk We
had left, divided my sandwiches
with him and started down the can
yon for help
The first day I walked till dark.
after sleep in the brush I got up
at daylight and went on. Ny shoes
began 10 drop off Sunday. The first
sign of habitation | found was

noon. | told the rancher who ] Was
and where the lion was. H prom
ised to take some food to Leo and
directed me to the H-Bar ranch.
When ] got there the foreman telc-
phoned out that ! was alive"
Jensen added that the lion be
haved beautifully all the way, lying
quietly in his cage. with the exccp-
ton of once when he jumped to his
feet as the plane ran over a hump
in the take-off at Camp Kearney.
Ranchers promised to carry food to
Leo pending the arrival of keepers
sent from here with a truck bear
ing a cage.

 Prisoners occasionally sham illness to avoid uncongenial tasks. Their treatment is drastic. When it is ab- solutely established that prisoner is feigning sickness he is given prison sick diet. For breakfast a bowl of weak tea, two slices of dry bread and salt. Dinner consists of coffee, dry bread and what is known in prison parlance as shadow soup" This consists of bowl of hot water into which a teaspoonful of melted fat is added-no more than sufficient to give the water greasy appear ance. The evening meal is precisely the same as breakfast, except that cocoa Is substituted for tea. Gener- ally four days of this treatment is sufficient to have the prisoner beg ging to return to work, no matter of what description. Nevertheless, he is kept on "sick diet" for ten days. Prison officials state that this is an infallible cure for laziness. Prisoners with the most evil of regulations rarely if ever desire the dose repeat ed. State boarding is no pleasure in Britain.

to their service in the navy, and they know how to hand it on to others The bark of their voices is enough to put fear into the ordinary human being. Let an "old lag get tough with them and his days henceforth are purgatory. Complaints Ignored
 A British prison warden Is nobody backed-up by the governor of the prison. According to high police official. complaints by prisoners of ill-treatment are listened to, but that's about all. More often than not the complainant is ordered per- to return to his cell and told he is not in prison for the bene- fit of his health, but for exactly what he is complaining about. Also on occasions the governor looks on while prisoner is being beaten up," and seldom does he interfere.
 Food given to prisoners is no more than sufficient to stay the bangs of hunger. It is not the most appetizing in the world. Vegetable soup forms a large part Of the menu, as also does porridge-unsweetened. Roast meat is a luxury seldom dispensed. Green vegetables rarely find their way to the prisoners plates. Dry bread is given in comparatively lib- eral quantities to fill up. Weak, un- sweetened tea, coffee and cocoa is the daily beverage.
 The Breakfast Menu
 The following is a typical break fast in one of the British prisons. Tea, minute portion of syrup, two to three slices of dry bread and a supply of salt. It will be noticed that butter is conspicuous by it's ab- sence. In this particular prison 1t came to the notice of the officials that prisoners had a tendency to spatter the butter about their cells. The allowance was immediately cut

 By SIDNEY J. WILLIAMS Limited Press Staff CorrespondenD London. Feb. (UP)-Hardened criminals in Britain are not pam pered.
 They receive sentences common surate with the crime committed, the annals of crime in Britain seldom record a miscarriage of justice and from the time they are given a num- bcr instead of a name it is made known to them in divers ways that they have sinned against society and have been sent to penal establish ments for punishment.
 In the case of first offenders given long sentences methods are adopted aiming at reformation of character, but should any one of them find himself again behind bars he is treated as an "old lag and his days until he regains his freedom are one of severe discipline and toll.
 Hard Natured Men
 British prison officials are hard men; ruthless when ncces- sary and seldom if ever corrupt. Their remuneration is not high, but prisoners attempting bribery are sad der and wiser men after the event. officials are not unknown in British prisons, but they are rare. Only one official has been known to accept money for favors' in the past five years. He was given a prison sentence.
 Sailors are especially sought for as prison warders. Husky, raw -boned naval men abound as officials in British prisons. For treating 'em rough and making 'em like it" no better type is known. Discipline has permeated to their very bones, owing
