FAVOR AUTO TAGS
MADE BY CONWCTS
Grand Jurors Term Licenses
Better Than Those Offered
in Private Bids.

District auto tags furnished by the
District penal institutions at Lorton.
Va, were commended today in re-
port of the grand jury. which COM
pletes It's labors. The jurors told the
court that the auto tags are FAR stipe-
rior to any ever received by competitive
contract. The grand jurors commended
the conduct of the District jail and
of the penal institutions In Virginia.
The report of the grand jury reads:
I'VE the members of the grand Jury,
respectfully submit the following report
of our visit and inspection OF the penal
institutions OF the District OF Column
bia March 8. 1923:
First we visited the District Jail,
where conditions as to housing. food
and sanitation were found compliment
tary to Maj. Peake. warden. Every
thing appeared to be conducted in an
orderly and businesslike manner. We
could offer no suggestions for improve
ments.
Next we visited the Reformatory at
Lorton. where we were met by Supt.
A. C. Tawse, who gave much valuable
information regarding the operation
of the institution. especially cmphasiz-
ing the contentment OF the inmates.
I'VE were personally conducted
through the shops and buildings by
M. NJ Barnard, superintendent of the
District of Columbia penal institutions.
Production was 100 per cent as the re-
suit of organized system. The build
ings now being erected are of brick.
concrete and steel. The walks and
grounds arc laid out at minimum cost
by convict labor.
owing TO the lack OF funds and ma
chinery the laundry is entirely made
quate for an institution Of this size. 1t
is recommended that immediate action
be taken to relieve this condition. as 1t
Is very necessary for the health and
welfare of the inmates
Special comment was made as to the
quality and quantity of material pro-
duced In the various shops. particularly
OF the District auto tags which are
far superior TO any ever received by
competitive contract.
Sanitary conditions of the womens
quarters at the workhouSe we found to
be excellent.
I'VE highly commend the officers OF
the various institutions visited and have
no adverse recommendations TO make -

ships.
Its latest victim is Ceccioni, the dauntless Italian
VINO was severely injured when the big dirigbe crash
ed on May 25 Grmly he clung to lite the ice floe
with his companions, until few days ago when his
BODY could no longer support the ndomintable spirit

We who live in civilized communities, with every
relief that modern medical science give u.s. shrink
from pain. Yet this brave bore his suffering in
terrible climate, ravaged by wind and extreme cold
lack of food medicine and shelter-adrift on the Arc
TIC sea- Added to this the fact that his command
er, and the who rescued him. were taken from the
same floe, while Ceccion was left there to die.
The world will forget him. Perhaps few even
now can recall his five minutes after reading it.

untold number of heroes, yet has shown more

AN ODD AMBITION

Mans ambition takes odd forms for expressing it.
self Some labor all their lives to produce new spe-
cles OF flower; to discover chemical formula; to
perfect piece Of mechanism. The ambition of others
Is to sit longer flag pole than anybody else; eat
more miles of spaghetti than is good for any normal
person; or, some equally useless achievement.
Jean Laussier had unusually odd ambition 1t
was to go over Niagara Falls and live to tell the tale
For years the ambition obsessed him until he spent
practically all his time dreaming of the adventure and
ways to achieve it.
He finally decided upon huge rubber ball as be-
ing more likely to aid him achieve his ambition than
the barrel which had been the favorte method of
others who had preceded him the adventure the ma
jority of whom forfeited their lives in the attempt
Laussler perfected his rubber ball. had himself
placed inside 1t, was towed into Niagara river by
friends drfted the falls and was taken alive
from the ball, having sustained only few superficial
injuries.
His ambition has been achieved. He has gone over
Niagara Falls at the risk of being killed, but he has
accomplished nothing. 1t may help him to get liv-
for Barnums old saying about the public still holds
true, and American curiosity is Unsuitable ever
Moreover willing to pay for it.
1t is an odd quirk in human nature which will
to spend years of his life in order to sub
ject that life to useless risk. But then it takes all
kinds to make world and Laussier might be able to
discover whole flock of such qurks in makeup

Now, in answer to inquiries from many alarmed
American firms regarding possible losses from letters

known to have been opened before delivery in England
The total loss, they find may not be more than few
dollars.
Wherefore the big scare? Evidently there
somebody in the English postal system either pretty

naturally printed by the press of two great countries
as authentic because Of the of the information,
turns out to be the biggest hoax of the year.
