Pledges Life to Education Fight.
Returning from France at the close

York pledged his life and his slender
resources to emancipating his home folE
from illiteracy. Himself deprived OF
education advantages, he realized the
hazard of inadequate schools to the
youth of East Tennessee.
The strength of his earnestness in
his move for education was evidenced
by his turning down a 81 900 900 vaude-

LIE BOURGET, France. August 10
Mystery surrounding disappearance of
three young Swiss aviators who left
here Thursday deepened today. Air Of
ficials admitted distinct possibility Of
disaster.
The aviators, taking of Thursday
afternoon with heavy load of fuel,
said at their departure they were going
to Lisbon to initiate a transatlantic
flight toward New York. Nothing has
been heard from them since.
It was regarded as possible they
really began their transatlantic flight
here and have been swallowed in the
Atlantic's vastness, leaving no trace be-
hind them. 1t seemed improbable that
If they had met with a miShap even at
an out-of-way French town it would
have not become known after so long
an interval.
The aviatorS arrived here Monday
from Zurich. They we're: Oscar Kaser,
pilot; Kurt Luescher. the hacker and a
mechanic, and Alfred TSchopp, navi-
gator and mechanic. They had a Far
man plane.

than a passing word with the prisoners,
but my inspection and my converse
ton with the superintendent convinced
me that the Prussian Ministry Of JUS
tice Is making a serious. sustained eff
fort toward the resocialization of anti
social elements.
It is too early yet to obtain reliable
statistics on the success or failure of
present-day prison administration in
Prussia. 1t is safe, however. to predict
that the country at large will not suffer
from its endeavor to educate rather
than punish. for the standard Of con-
duct as whole will be raised.
The attitude of a nation toward its
lawbreakers is q gauge Of the ethical
earnestness of the nation itself.

CONF|SCATED AUTO
PRICES ADVANCE
U. S. Marshal Reports on
Sales of Cars Taken
From BootIeggers.

The average price paid for the 105
confiscated automobiles which have been
sold by the prohibition department since
January Of this year has been slightly
higher than that which the United
States narShars office was able to OBJ
tain during 1928. Whether this increase
is due to bootleggerS using more expen-
sive cars or whether the sales are be-
coming better attended by prospective
buyers, United States Marshal Edgar
c. Snyder cannot say.
So far this year 1892 has been re-
allied from the sale Of cars seized for
transporting liquor, showing an average
price of $41.03. Last year 287 machines
were disposed of at an average of $35.21
each, totaling $10,134. This is a record
for any one year. During 1928, Is addi-
tional cars were turned over to the
Treasury Department to aid in prohibi-
ton enforcement.
Procedure In Sales Outlined.
The procedure for the disposal Of
automobiles, the drivers of which are
arrested while transporting liquor, was
explained by Marshal Snyder. He said
the cars are held until the owners
trials and upon their conviction are
turned over by court order to the office
of the United States marshal for sale.
Before holding the public auction of
the confScated property, however. the
marshals ONCE is obliged to advertise
the sale for four consecutive weeks In
the local newspapers. The make and
exact description of each car must be
given, so that all persons possessing
liens on the property may have an OPP
portunity to enter claim.
AS not infrequently happens, the cars
are stolen or only partly paid for, or
are owned by citizens who do not know
of their use in the liquor trafilc. In
such cases the marshal's Office either
pays the remainder Of the installments
or returns the car to its rightful owner.
Cars Held in Storage.
During the month of advertising prior
to the sale, all such cars are held In
storage at the Fidelity Storage Co., 1920
II street, where the auctions are con-
Quoted.
A list Of persons known to be inter-
ested I'M the sale is kept by the marshal
and notices are sent. to them before
the acution.
AS a rule about 80 machines are dis
posed Of In a day. Marshal Snyder es-
Inmates. The largest sale was OF 81 cars
on July 6, 1928. A total Of SO cars was
conf1scated during the past month ana
are now In storage, according to John
j. Clarkson, deputy marshal and acting
auctioneer. The next public auction VIII
take place August 81.

In Prussia as in all Germany, peni-
Tertiary and prison are distinct insti-
buttons. A darker stigma. often
accompanied by loss of civil rights,
attaches to the penitentiary.
There are minor differences In the
treatment of the two classes OF prison.
ers. Prison dress is blue or grey: that
of the penitentiary is brown. Prison
convicts may smoke: those of the peni-
Tertiary must not, save In exceptional
circumstances.
Differences I'm Working Hours.
Eight or nine hours daily work is
required of prison inmates, nine to ten
hours in the penitentiary. Those in
prison don't have to do agricultural
work; penitentiary convicts have no
choice. But in respect to individual
treatment no distinction is made.
In 1914 there was q daily average OF
Al, 900 convicts in the penitentiaries and
prisons. In 1928 the number had in
creased to 10000. This was largely due
to abnormal conditions in Germany
then.
In DAYS when 1t took millions OF
marks to buy a stamp and housewives
lined up before shops by the thousands,
hoping through an all-day vigil to
obtain a quarter pound OF something
TO stave of hunger, no wonder prisons
were crowded with wretches who took
what came their way without regard TO
the legal aspect.
As soon as the mark was stabilized
the number OF prisoners lesSened.
Nineteen hundred twenty-four shows q
daily average Of $4,000, and In 1928
there were only $4,000.
The Conditional Pardon.
Various causes contributed to this
sharp drop-15,000 below 1914. The
condition pardon granted an ever
increasing number OF smaller offenders
doubtless plays an important role.
Probation of three to fiye years, accord
ing to the crime, is allowed. If within
this time the culprit's conduct is ex-
emplary, he is not compelled to serve
his term. But If he transgresSes In any
way during this period he must serve
the entire time Of the flrst sentence, In
addition to the second.
The Prussian ministry of justice re-
CARDS this innovation as productive OF
very good results and hopes for further
decrease in crime through persistent,
int: application of modern theo-
Revenge" Idea Passes.
The old idea Of. revenge for crime
has passed. IL Is no longer the ann
of penitentiary and prison TO disgrace
or degrade the prisoner, but to educate
him. The prisoner must not be treated
as an outcast, but he is educated along
lines best enabling him to cope with
life when released.
Imprisonment must be utilized IN
every way to convert the criminal into
q law-abiding citizen. He must be
taught to work, but this must not be
regarded as punishment. He must be
brought to see that work is essential to
success in life Hence all work required
of him must have a constructive, posi-
tive value.
An important. recent advance ir
| Prussian penal administration was the
! introduction of the graduation system
The basic idea is gradually to moderate
the rules of prison life and to increase
the freedom Of the prisoner according tc
diligence and good behavior. Every
| prisoner starts in grade /. Those in
the penitentiary remain In this grade
at least nine months. those in prison
at least six months, juveniles at least
three months.

LONDON, August 10-Some alarm
was felt here today at reports Of events
along the Manchurian-Soviet Russia
border, where increasing military &C
tivity, with considerable artillery firing,
greatly heightened tension between
China and Russia.
A Hardin dispatch to the Daily Mail
said that authorities were apprehensive
with respect to events in the near flu
ture. Much military and civilian ac-
ttvity at many points in Manchuria are
reported. There was artillery fire Thurs
day at Pogranichnaya, where Soviet air.
planes flew over the town.
The dispatch said there had been
widespread sabotage along the seized
road cut in three places at Hardin and
a bridge near Pogranichnaya destroyed.
The ships at Hardin were set on fire.
Armed Chinese patroled Hardin dur
ing the night, searching several build
ings and arresting many Russians. Proc
lamation of martial law was discussed.
The dispatch further said that a
Russian proclamation issued Tuesday
declared the Red army would protect
Chinese troops were said to be moving
northward. Hundreds of Soviet ma
tionals have applied for visaS for their
passports. but expected considerable Diff
ficulty in crossing the frontier.
