FACTORY SYSTEM
AT LORTON IS HIT
Barnard Would Make Trade
Training Not Volume Pro-
duCtion Reformatory Goal.

A protest against the growing ten
dency" to make the District Reformatory
at Lorton. Va, a manufacturing center
is contained in the annual report of
Capt. M. NJ. Barnard, superintendent
of penal institutions, made public to-
day by George Wilson, director of public
welfare.
ut should be we'll to remember that
primarily the reformatory is an inStitu-
ton for correctional purposes and it is
the aim of those in charge to return
the inmate to society better fitted to
resume his place than when he entered
the institution" said Capt. Barnard
This We are attempting to do, in one
way by teaching various trades to men
who never cared to nor had the chance
to learn before coming here.
Would Penalize Fugitives.
I'VE fully appreciate the fact that
those serving sentences should be COM
PEELED to perform daily labor, but there
is a growing tendency on the part of
some to make a manufacturing center
at the reformatory. We believe too
much emphasis is being laid on the
matter of production and too much is
expected of the inmate.
Capt. Barnard also recommended the
adoption of a penalty in the form of
an additional sentence for prisoners
who escape There is no penalty at
present, he pointed out, but the adop-
ton of one would aid discipline and
prevent attempts to escape.
However, Capt. Barnard said, the Of
f1cialS at the penal institutions have
had little difficulty in the handling
and disciplining of prisoners. and dur
ing the year there were only six sue
CeSsful escapes.
The reformatory was at the height of
industry during the year, Capt Bar
nard reported The foundry produced
approximately $4,000 worth of castings
for the water and sewer departments
and the broom manufacturing plant
has fiourished since its inception. Ten
acres of broom corn are now in cultiva-
ton, he said, which will greatly reduce
the cost of production as the broom
corn heretofore had to be purchased.

SHORT SKIRTS AROUSE
 HUNGARIAN PERFORMERS

BUDAPEST. Aug 2.-Prcminent society women have opened q campaign against the short skirts worn by Hungarian girls. It is charged that nowhere in the world has the style for brevity been car ried to such startling extremes as in Hungary.
 The appearance of girls and young women on the promenades $ and in the fashionable tea-rooms along the Danube with skirts four or five inches above the knee has produced an outcry in press, church and parliament.
 Mrs. Anna Kethely.. a woma l deputy, who in addition to her parliamentary duties is the chair man of the Women Employees As sociat;on, heads the campaign for more modest dress. She made a spirited speech in the national par iiament in which she. .scathingly denounced the present tendencies towards complete undress," as a national scandal. Her words, however. fell on deaf ears, the house refusing to be distracted from it usual routine of political matters.
 Archduchess Isabella of Haps- burg, who is the patron of several rhilanthropic associations in Hun gary, is among the chief oppon- ents of the abbreviated skirt.
 Our women are simply crazy she said to The Associated Press correspondent. "They would soon- CT staryei than run counter to tho exigencies of dame fashion. have just been looking at the Paris fashipn journals and mo- where dp 1 find skirts so short us those worn in Hungary. It is Gfmply . disgrace. Our women Ges ds6psdIng our nation and theunGol9l6 by exposing their legs Deyond the limit of decency.'

 We, have known for a, long time of this business, said q customs official to me today. We have. known, too, that re- gently it has grown enormously, ,but the, detection and, conviction of the offenders is a difficult matter It has all arisen through the tremendous developments which have taken place in motor barge traffic between this coun- try and the continent since the war. .
 Little wharves up and down the Thames which were formerly derelict, or, at the best, devoted ito landing goods by Thames barges only, have taken up a Inew lease of life.

LOS ANGELES. Calf, December IA.
Would you like to have your chill
dren ioin the class in practical educa-
ton conducted by Rear Admiral John
weston? If so, the next lesson will be
a two-year trip through Central Africa
from the Cape Of Good Hope to Mo-
rocco
Before enrolling. prospective students
may desire a few more particulars.
The leader of the expedition. Admiral
Weston. arrived in Los Angeles on a
British diplomatic mission few days
ago on the Monteyideo Maru from
South America He was born in Zulu
land. Africa, of European parents, and
has spent the larger part of his life in
various parts of what until recently.
has been known as the dark continent.
He was a rear admiral with the British
naval mission in the Near East and is
q fellow of the Royal Geographical So
ciety. incidentally, he admits, he never
met or heard Of Trader Horn.
But perhaps the most outstanding
thing about Admiral Weston is that he
is the professor extraordinary to ms
three children: Anna, 10 years of age;
kathleen, Is. and MaXimilian, II.
man of wide travel himself, he decldeo
that his children should have the same
advantages, but that this was not pos
sible under the prevailing systems OF
education.
Has Practical Theory.
'We cram children full of knowledge,
but we don't develop the thinking facul-
ties in the schools" is the way he eX-
presses his theory of education. He be-
lieves that a student should be provided
with the theory or technical data of
problem and then allowed to particl-
pate in a practical demonstration OF it.
Perhaps the average parent may gasp
a bit at this, but a combined lesson in
combustion and sociology once led to
Admiral Weston's eldest daughter, when
she was 16 years Of age, accepting job
as a stoker on an ocean liner when the
family was taking one Of their sea
