 The children themselves are not to blame for this condition. he con- tnued, asserting that youth is the product of heredity and environment, factors over which it, for the most part. has no control"
 Despite the tendency on the part of older people to criticize the younger generation, Governor Gard ner said, he is of the opinion that the young people of today, generally speaking. are as fine in every sense of the word as any generation that has preceded them, but for their shortcomings their parents must ac- cept the ultimate responsibility.

Gardiner Speaker

New London. July l6 CP-Gover- nor William T. Gardiner of Maine described confinement of normal hu- man beings without employment as "barbarous punishment" in an ad- dress before the governors confer ence today
 Speaking at the crime session which opened the conference. Gov crnor Gardiner urged his colleagues to advocate policy of productive employment for inmates of prisons of their states.
 He emphasized the need of such employment to help prisoners 10 re- tain or develop healthy attitude to- ward life and pointed out the advan- tage of industrial training and eXper- fence to ex-convicts after their re- lease.
 Any Task LaboriouS
 But" he said. any task may be lahorious. but unless it is productive it cannot be dignifed with the term labor If We are 10 give prisoners employment, we must make them
 
 that to some extent somewhere they must come into competition with free men and women who are or might he laborers in the same field. The problem is to keep such competition at a minimum and free labor has the right to expect such protection as may be consistent with successful op- .eration Of prisons.
 Governor Gardiner warned against provincial attitude in states to- ward prison products and said the problem should be regarded nation- ally.
 Problem Nation Wide
 "It is natural" he said, that a state would seek first of all 10 pro- tect it's own people and regulate prison industry so as to interfere To- cally as little as possible But the problem transcends state lines. In the struggle to make prisons partially self-supporting it is essential there he little conflict between states. There must be exchange of products in such way as to bring incomes to individual prisons and to aNold hurtful competition to free labor
 Governor Gardiner said the prob lem of employment is more acute in county iails than in state prisons. pointing out that small numbers of prisoners and small budgets make employment difficult
 He said he thought productive employment such as road building both useful in developing healthy attitude and in preventing harmful competition with free labor.
 Praises New Bill
 The speaker said the effects of the Hawes- Cooper bill which goes into effect in 1884 will he far reaching and pointed out that because prison goods under the bill are divested of their interstate character upon arri- val in the state of their destination and therefore the sale of such goods, whatever their origin. will he a mat ter for absolute regulation with each state
 The result will be, he said, that many existing state prison industries will have to be reorganzed and many of the 16 states already pro- viding state regulation will have 10 make their laws conform 10 the fed eral law.

Wilderness Town One of
Worlds Noisiest Spots

Toronto, Ont.-Sioux Lookout, town
of the frontier, is bothered by noise.
Surrounded by wilderness of lake
and forest, with not a single highway
leading anywhere, residents complain
that Sioux Lookout has become one
Of the noisiest spots on earth.
1t is only four or five years since the
town suddenly changed from speck
on the map to Il gateway into Red
Lake, gold mining field. Now Sioux
Lookout is the largest commercial air
base in Canada. Airplanes are con-
stantly roaring over the community.
Motor boats put-put all day long, from
the docks to frog Rapids, the first
portage. Dogs, idle during the sum-
mer, but the mainstay of transporta-
ton in the winter, start the din at
dawn.
But the residents forgive the planes,
the motor boats and even the dogs. 1t
is the motor car, the last introduction
into Sioux Lookouts life that has
caused the editor of the only paper In
the whole Patricia district to lament
the noise in the wilderness.
'The majority have not a thing to
do and nowhere to co." he complains.
"For we have no roads yet, just few
bumpety side streets, where up and
down cars are driven furiously for the
fun Of it.
"a small boy with new sled and
no snow is no more pathetic than a
man with a new car and no roads, or
like an angler in the midst of biting
fish without hook or line"
The editor fears that if roads come
and link Sioux Lookout to the rest
Of the country, the old-timers will have
to take to the air to escape the mod
ernity of crash and crackle.

FRIENDS REBUILD
HOME OF ORPHANS
Provide New Shelter When
Farmhouse Burns.

Florence, VISA plucky orphan boy
and his two little sisters were dealt
with harshly when fire destroyed their
farm home and all their belongings at
Fern, community near here, but folks
at Fern and in Florence made up for
the blow in a hurry. The three are
living in a new home-even If 1t Is
just shack-they have lew furniture
and clothing and the boy, Charles Mol
Ter, nineteen, can keep on with his
man-sized program.
Charles has been pegging away two
years, and has made payments on ~
acre farm, where he lived with Leona,
thirteen, and Rose, seven. Leona was
the "mother" of Rose and did the
homework. Charles worked for Earl
Biller at q small farm sawmill. He
helped Leona with her work after his
regular hours, and the three were put
ting up the bravest fight anyone in
these parts has ever seen.
One night Charles went over to
Louis Tumpacks farm, a quarter-mile
away, for milk. He stopped to visit
a while and started home after p. m.
Halfway home he saw flames, and
when he got there he found the two
girls shivering in their nightclothes
outside the burning house. They had
been awakened by smoke and had
barely escaped.
1t wasn't long before the news
spread through Fern and Florence, and
telephones began to ring.
Ibid you hear about the Moller chill
dren; what can you give for them?"
was the casual greeting. Women
crossed backyards to carry the news.
Biller, at the sawmill, said that they
could live in a shack near the mill
and soon after a table, bed, then q
chair appeared. Clothing for the girls
had been brought early. By the end
of the week the place was completely
furnished and the children had more
clothes, a stock of groceries, and even
some money.

Coma ge of Cents

Indian cents were coined from 1858
to 1909 inclusive. few rare ones,
made of Nickel aluminium or unusual
alloys are at considerable premium,
but they are never seen in circulation
The Lincoln cents were first issued
in 1909. Some of those of that year
bear ON the reverse the initials of
the designer, Victor D. Bremen. These
were removed before the end of the
year. Under the date on many Lin.
coin cents appear the letters IS" and
3D." indicating that they were made
at the San Francisco or Denver minis
The 1929 cent is the rarest of all mod
ern ones. 1t sells at a premium of a
few cents, and is seldom to be seen
in circulation. Only a few more than
10000 of that date were issued.

Merry English Wives
Break Up Hubby's Meal

Weymouth, England. = Since
they were given the vote 1t
would not seem English women
are not as submissive to their
husbands as Of yore.
There's the case of the din
ner organization by the male
members of the Weymouth OPP
cratic society. They were out
for a good time and thought
they were going to have it.
When they arrived at their
banquet hall each husband
found a note pinned to his nap
kin reading, "What about your
poor wives and the children at
homer"
From the neighboring BAN
quoting room there was noise
nf high revelry. The abashed
husbands peeked In and to their
dismay saw their wives holding
banquet of their own. The
women had entered the room by
stealth from a rear entrance.
Every time the men started to
sing, their wives in the adjoin-
ing room did likewise, but from
different tune. Finally both
dinners broke up in compare
tive disorder.

'CHUTE FAILURE IN
JUMP FROM BRIDGE
Disappointed Inventor Es-
capes Without Injury.

New York.-Placing supreme con
fidence in a parachute of his own
construction, Shinich Msumi, Japa.
nese cook with leaning toward avi.
ation made a jump from the Manllat'
tan bridge recently which fortunately
did not prove fatal, although the para
chute failed to live up to his expec-
tatons.
After Misumi, who Is twenty-five
years old, had been hauled gasping
and suffering from the water he
told the police of his great love for
aviation and of the parachute which
he had designed and constructed him
self.
Persons on the bridge saw him ap.
proach the railing between the middle
of the span and the Manhattan tower
They paid no heed until he mounted
the rail, holding his parachute above
his head Before they could restrain
him he had jumped.
Aids in Easing Fall.
The parachute made no pretense OF
opening, but in some fashion it aided
In breaking the jumpers fall, and
after disappearing below the surface
Misumi's black head bobbed up.
1t was readily observed that he was
an excellent swimmer and was capa-
BILE of caring for himself. Although
the parachute floated off and was lost,
Misumi splashed about until a boat
picked him up. He was able to walk
along the pier later when the boat left
him at Pike street.
Patrolman Burns Of the Oak street
station, who was passing along South
street in a department car rushed
Misumi to the station and then sum-
moned Doctor Comstock of Beck
man street hospital After an examina-
ton, Doctor Comstock said the Jap
anese had suffered no injuries, al
though he was pretty we'll shaken up
and apparently had absorbed some
water. He was removed to Bellevue
hospital for observation.
Had Considered Tower Jump.
When Misumi was comfortably set
tied on hospital cot he talked freely
about his exploit. He spent three
months constructing the parachute, he
said. and for the last month has been
wandering about the city in leisure
moments searching for favorable
place to jump from. Once he consid-
cred the Woolworth tower, but gave
that idea up.
He went to the bridge, he said, and
waited until he felt he would not at
tract attention. The instant he was
in the air, according to his story, he
realized that the ropes were too short,
thus preventing the parachute from
ballooning and supporting his weight.
Being an excellent swimmer and
diver, he was not alarmed. He said
he simply drew his feet together,
placed one hand against his side and
held the other straight up so as to
strike the water clean. When he arose
to the surface he swan for ten min
utes before he was picked up. This,
he said, was easy, as he frequently
has participated in swimming races
of from three to five miles.
The hospital authorities said he was
s being kept to determine whether he
received any internal injuries. He
his clothing was found cartoon en-
titled, "Wonder What a Parachute
