MALE JAY WALKERS
 ARE IN MAJORITY
Women Show More Respect for
 Traffic Regulations

Of which sex are New Britain's jaywalkers?
 In the answer to that question lies a world of consolation for wom- en, for, blamed as they are for this and that and berated in par ticular for alleged inability to op- crate automobiles properly, it seems that men are the more fragrant violators of the pedestrians code. ed from vigil at the National bank corner today.
 In seven cases out of ten the women wishing to cross the street paused on the curbs until the traffic lights showed the amber walk" sign, while in possible eight cases out of ten the men strode fearlessly across. Of course. many of the wom- on were burdened with baby car- riages or with small children whom they where leading by the hand, but even those encountered merely by bundles or by nothing at all were quite meticulous about cross- ing only when bidden to by the automatic signal. At many times were no vehicles approaching frorl either direction but the great ma jority of them chung to their posts at the curb.
 With the men the situation was different. If no autos were ap- preaching, they strode boldly across the street with merely perfunctorv slances up and down the highway. If there were cars coming. or even if the highway was quite thickly in- fested with them. they trusted to agility of their limbs and wits an l lodged in and out among the pass ing autos. If a traffic officer took up stand nearby for an instant. this had slightly deterrent effect upon the jaywalkers, but the diff ference was scarcely noticeable. But this much must be said for the men. The eight males lodging their way through the moving va- hicular traffic caused less trouble than the three women who broke the general rule of her sex and set out across the street. For the fem mine jaywalkers displayed no skill in their maneuvers Either the y | stepped abruptly into the street and stalked straight across as if com pletely needless of approac hin. autos, or they looked at the motor ists with calm defiance as if th-, were saying, You don't dare hit me

 Who is he tonight? He's one of those merchants who has the "es- prit de corps of Church street which we have heard so much about of late. He has business on Church street, very near the Herald office. In fact. one can look out the window and wave at him from the wire desk. The window displays are tasty and attract many a person (man and woman) who pause to look, even If they are in a hurry to get down to the R. R. Station. In case the above is misleading the editor will tell you that he is nobody connected with Adkins Printing Co.,, concern which represents the "esprit de corps'' of Church street to the Nth degree. He isn't Al of the Army & Navy aore, or the galloping fish man either. If there happened to be a Church street business mems association, he would. most likely be president, so we'll is he thought of by the rest of us chaps who eke out an existence here on the ren- dezvous for New Britain playboys. Looking out the window opens up new line of thought. There goes "Spud" Murphy. he almost got by the window. he turns back. looks longingly at a pair of khickers in the window. Takes a roll out of his pocket, looks more longingly at that. kisses it and puts it back in his pocket. See, he's scratching his head. evidently trying to figure out whether to send 'em with his com- pliments to Hummer Daily. While he is trying to think, Pat presses his horn, "Spud' snaps out Of it and gets in the drivers seat of Pats car. Pat looks out of the window of his car when it passes. at the invi- tation of 'Spud." and admits that maybe the knickers would be ap- preciated.

Gle, the Royal Northwest Mounted Po-

uniforms here, and the prison authori-
ties are pickering now for militia con-
tracts.
Thus does the state assist in the all
important business of keeping the des-
perate men busy and out of trouble.
In the machine shop and stone cut
ting department are being prepared the
stone and barriers for a new women's
prison being built half a mile away. In
the Summertime a 400-acre farm sup
plies work for more than $50 men.
No newspapers are allowed into the

All magazines are carefully censored.
Relatives only are allowed to visit

a guard listens to every word that's

record speaks for our success"

They hate the strict discipline of the
institution, but he adds they speak with
terror Of the law which would put them
away for life.
The dining-room system Of feeding
passed at Canadian penitentiaries, the
warden said, as the men filed in for
supper, with the passing Of the dark
ages Of prison regulation. The cellular
system is in force here and has been

they pick up trays as in a cafeteria.

Immediately to his cell. Here he has q
