Fine Calico Printing.

{ xALICO was FIRST produced in Calicut, IndaA,
from which it derives its name Since its
origin it has grown to cover great variety OF
cloth made from cotton, but not sufficiently
fine to be called muslin. Calico printing how
ever, is not limited to cotton CLOTH but has
come to include the cOlOred printing of wool,
silk, wOrsted and linen. The printing of cloth
was known in Egypt in the first century, and
probably earlier in India.
The modern industry has made great strides,
substituting copper rollers, from which several
colors may be printed simultaneously, for the
Old-fashioned laborious printing by hand with
woOden-block designs. ssse
In the United States more than 100000
bales Of cotton are used annually in prOducing
calico. F. es-' '~se - ~

before getting TO work on their PrOgnOstic
Table, the Gluecks spent three years &C
cumulating every possible fact in the life his
tories Of 500 criminals. This study took every
moment of their joint time and cost $11JOOO
DR. Richard Cabot, intensely interested in their
study, supplied the money through the Milton
Fund of Harvard University.
Having complied innumerable statistics the
Gluecks proceeded to seek the why's and where
fores They remembered what the immortal
Thomas Paine said more than 100 years ago
when in countries that are called
civilized, we see youth going to the gallows,
something must be wrong in the system OF gov
eminent. There lies hidden from the eye Of
common observation a mass OF wretchedness
that has scarcely any other chance than to
expire in poverty and infamy. Until this Is
remedied, it is vain to punish. -
The Gluecks looked into the childhood history
of the 500 criminals. They even examined the
domestic affairs Of their parents. They studied
the conditions OF environment They applied
all their knowledge of psychology and sociology.
They investigated the economic responsibility
of the criminals, their family relationships In
dustrial habits and manner in which they spent
their leisure. They investigated conduct from
school days through the period in the reforma-
tory, and during parole And, when they had
accumulated their data they evolved their
prognostic table. -..-s

IF such a scheme had ever before been
evolved to determine the probable future of

is not enough for judges to be yersed in law
alone"
Sociologists are, mostly, an elderly lot. And
criminologists are usually middle-aged. But
the Gluecks whose work has attracted national
interest are an extraordinary couple-young
and charming. DR.. Glueck is q professor at
Harvard Law School, and in charge Of an Inn
portant section of Harvards Crime Survey.
His nrst book, Mental Disorder and Criminal
Law" is the standard treatise on the subject.
Mrs Glueck is q research worker with the sur
vey, author of THE Community Use Of
Schools"
They are both so learned that 1t seems IS
though DR.. Glueck should have white beard
and walk with an aged stoop. Mrs. Glueck
should wear glasses, and seem forbidding. But
the eminent doctor looks rather like an under
graduate. and his wife is beguilingly girlish.
These deceptive appearances have not prevented
their doing most useful work.
Before compiling their interesting prognostic
table the Gluecks made the astounding discov-
cry that &C per cent Of the men who are sent
to reformatories are not reformed. but 60 on
committing crimes after their discharge.
EVERY year penal ofhcials. publishing their
annual reports, announce, enormously, that
four-fifths of reformatory inmates are reformed.
And the public according to the 0luecks. Is
lulled into comfortable conviction that re-
sormatorieS are benehcent institutions and
change delinquents into good citizens
AS matter Of fact, almost 1000 Ofhcially
known crimes we're committed In i've years by
the supposedly reformed" eliminates, whose
lives, on post-parole, were investigated by the
professor and his wife.
The Gluecks worked day and night to locate
their men, They wrote 5000 letters and visited
hundreds Of families. They even sent finger
prints abroad, and received information from
as far as Greece and Italy. They cOmbed the
Army and the Navy and prisons everywhere.
For five years the men had drifted about. with
out supervision, moving from small towns to
cities, riding the rails from coast to coast.
Many Of them had changed their names. But,

soon be released again into the community, as
he is eligible for parole. Dan Is loquacious, and
unburdened himself thus:

When Dan was first arrested, the Judge sent
him to an industrial school. Following his re-
lease, he was arrested again for pulling re-

I Under existing conditions, we have an arbi-
~ trary legislative prescription Of penalties
That is q man who steals q certain sum OF
money must be imprisoned for specified length
of time No consideration is given TO the fact
that,he may either continue in criminafty upon
his release, or be reformed.
He steals $1O1, and he goes to State prison for
five years. His crime is neither greater nor
smaller than If he had stolen 500, or less-for
which he need not have served more than one
year. Prescribed sentences are obviously un-
scientific.
Science" declare the Gluecks, has about
reached the point where 1t can predict human
conduct If applied to the problem Of pardon
and parole science can almost unfailingly de-
termine whether it is safe to release a convicted
man. 1t is time to do away with guesswork
on the part Of judges and parole boards. And
to ignore irrelevant argument Of counsel paid to
get my client on"
Judges today are compelled to follow blindly
the dictates Of Legislature which has set down
in advance the precise punishments to be I'M
posed for each offense.
For instance" cite the Gluecks IF a crimi-
nal should hold up a man and rob him, and
that man happened to have 500 on his person,
the precise punishment is not more than one
year in jail or a fine not exceeding $500. But
if the man should happen to have more than
800 on his person, then the criminal may go to
prison for five years or pay fine OF 5000, and
go to jail, besides, for two years That is an
evident abSurdity, since the crime Is the same,
whether the man has so cents or $500, in his
pocket. ssty
ITO make the thing more absurd, the Legisla-
tuTe says that IL the man who is robbed hap
pens to be in the express business, the criminal
shall be punished, for the hrst onense, by i'm

TOM, Dick and Harry were considered by the
Parole Board for release. And the board
made the following decisions:
Tom and Harry were permitted TO speno
most Of their sentence in freedom on parole.
while Dick was compelled to serve his entire
sentence behind prison bars.
But Tom and Harry were soon In trouole-fe-
arrested-and returned to the reformatory.
Eventually Dick was released, and became
useful citizen.
According to the Glueck- prognostac table,
Tom and Harry were doomed TO be failures on
parole and should have been kept IN an M
gtitution. But Dicks chances were al Tor sue

How can the Gluecks forecast the future o.

He saw assurance of funds for all
business purposes in cheap money for
both short and long-term credit. While

foreign governments, domestic munic-

Smith statement said, in excess of ST.
O00, 900 was shown In an examination
after the bank had closed to have been

The attorney general also announced
that State funds totaling $500, 600
were on deposit in the Bank OF Ten
ilessee and the Liberty Bank 6 Trust
Co. both of Nashville, and the Holston
Union National Bank Of Knoxville, all

Smith said q thorough examination
was being made Of the affairs OF the
Bank of Tennessee "for the purpose OF
determining the method of the disaT-
pearaIce of such securities" but the
examination had not progressed lar
enough for any statement with rel.
erence to the probable result OF same.
On September %, when the demand ,asi
deposit OF securities was made, Smith
said, the action made the bank entirely
solvent, in the opinion of the State SUE
perintendent of banks, who said this
gave the Bank of Tennessee q margin
OF more than 100000 Of assets over

"The investigation leads to the con-
clusion that assets claimed by Caldwell

ton, of which the Bank of Tennessee
was merely q subsidiary. are In reality
property of the Bank Of Tennessee and
may be reached for the purpose of APP
plying them upon its liabilities" the
