IMPRISONMENT FOR LIFE

Much has been made of the al
legged Imprisonment of Fred Palm, of
Lansing, Michigan, for the heinous
offense of having q bottle of liquor
in his pocket. The truth is, of
course, that Palm was imprisoned
for life because he was an incor-
rigible criminal. An interesting dis
patch from Switzerland refers to
this report. 1t says:
at has been reported in several
newspapers that ut Lansing, Alichi-
gar, U. S. A, an Individual had
been condemned to Imprisonment for
life for having been found in pos
session of a bottle of wniskey. TLey
conn ented naturally in unlatter-
ing terms upon such a barbarous
system of Legislation which inficts
the severest penalty for Il very ven
la offence. But a letter from the
Mayor of Lansing to the Information
al Bureau against alcoholism, Lau-
same, throws quite a different light
upon the matter.
The individual in question, Fred
Palm, had been sentenced in 1914 to
a maximum term of fifteen years for
housekeeping and was paroled at
the end of the minimum sentence.
In 1920 he was convicted for coun-
terfeiting and sent to prison for 5
years. After his release he led a
disreputable life and practised boot
Logging.
The last sentence which he receiv-
ed was after the seventh felony of
which he had been convicted. 1t
was on this occasion that the judge
applied the new law which makes it
mandatory for the presiding judge
to impose a sentence of life sfter
conviction for felony for the 4th
time. Thus we see that Fred Palm
was sentenced to prison for the re-
mainder of his natural life for Of
fences of a somewhat graver nature
than the possession of a bottle of
whiskey."

CHILDREN NEED BETTER
CHANCE FOR DEVEL-
OPMENT AND PLAY
By Jean Overton

Child psychologists Of today
agree that there is nothing more i'm
portant in early years than giving
the child an opportunity to develop
and carry out his own ideas. The
old method of planning for him ev-
erything from his course of study to
the last item in his wardrobe is de-
cidedly passe. In schools leading
educators are allowing more and
more freedom in the section of
subjects and methods of study. In
the home parents are permitting
their children to a large extent to
decide for themselves the things
they want to do and the things they
want to own. Children's requests
are, more often than not, reason
able. Whenever it is feasible to graf
ify their requests and to avoid
thwarting their ideas, the effect on
mental development and disposition
alike is better.
There probably never has been a
child who did not want room of
his own, and all the opportunities it
includes for carrying out his ideas.
Every grown-up knows the enjoy
ment of having a place to keep his
own things and to putter around
with them; the restfulness of a
room where he isn't bothered with
other people or disarranging other
peoples things; and the satisfac-
ton of the feeling of possession
which his own room gives him. 1t is
scarcely an exaggeration to say that
child's enjoyment of these things
Milford chronicle. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1878-1974, 1927-12-09

is even keener. Yet the children
who are afforded these simple and
natural pleasures are few and far
between. There is no better way OF
furnishing wholesome amusement 10
a boy than to give him room where
he may hang banners up if he wants
to, or decorate the corners with
fishing tackle or the walls with
suspended snow shoes if it suits his
fancy. The period when a girl
wants such things as fancy pictures
from magazine covers tackled all
about should likewise receive induI-
gence. For the little tots who will
always scatter their toys to every
corner and choose as favorites the
most disreputable of the lot-and at
best toys scarcely add to the deco
rative scheme-a room of their own
is all but imperative.
OF course the difficulty comes in
the cramped quarters of houses of
today. But there are few houses
without some space that might be
utilized. Nearly always there is at
tic room that would do. Even if a
bedroom can't be had, there are pos
sibilities for some kind of a room
that would serve the child's pur-
pose. In fact a "den" or a real
playroom is often better.
The walls are the big problem in
utilizing attic space, but there are
several manufactured materials to
be had, inexpensive and easy to put
up, that offer a way out of the di-
lemma. Celotex insulating lumber,
rock wallboard, beaver board, or any
similar material makes an attrac-
tive finish which has the added adj
vantage of solving the heating prob
lem.
Children's rooms should always
have plenty of cheerful color
walls, woodwork, furniture, and ev-

AFTER you have raved about the

Elusive thing into words. This is an

Its slenderizing lines are expressed in

further for a model suitable to any

into bright, glistening ones. Dis

AZ ROOF of the pudding is al

II Proof that American plum
pudding in cans lives up to British
traditions is evinced in the amaz-
ing fact that John Bull orders guam
titles of it annually, so that he can
enjoy his national Christmas des-
sert in improved style.
The earliest record Of plum pud-
ding is in the memoirs of French
man voyaging on a British forty
ton warship in 1858. With char
acteristic French appreciation of
British cooking he declared it "de-
testable." This early pudding, how
ever, was composed of biscuit
crumbs, lard, currants, salt and pep
per, tied up in a napkin, cooked in
bouillon, and busted over with old
cheese.
