State Prison Called Worst In
The East
The East

The Maryland Penitentiary is the
worst penal institution in the East.
from physical standpoint, and the
''plainly low" morale of the prisoners
is the result of poor working and living
conditions, it was asserted in the an
nual report of the National Society Of
Penal Information, just made public.
The society urged the abandonment Of
the Penitentiary and suggested a
site at Jessups, near the House Of
Correction.
In the same report, the society
criticized the practice of sending pau
pers to the House of Correction and
asserted that they have no place in
an institution which is now practically
the junior prison Of Maryland" The
large turnover of this type of prisoners
the report said, causes complications
in connection with administration, dis
cipline and industry.
Prison conditions in other States are
discussed in the Handbook Of American
Prisons and Reformatories, which is
published by the society.

Hand Dictionary Good
Post Office for Cupid

Rather abruptly and without fore
thought, the head Of the Hillsville
high school made startling discov-
cry: namely, that pleasant glow en-
quilted his heart at the mere mention
of certain instructress In his school
But what was he to do?
The school board turned "thumb's-
down" on such romances. Further
more, love tangles In the school might
lower the high standard of morale he
was attempting to maintain among
his charges.
Yet despite barriers, the glow per-
sisted until at last In desperation he
dashed off these lines: Il must see
you alonel Meet me in K "a city
near Hillsville) Friday night" He
slipped the note In a small hand die
tionary on the lady's desk and nerv-
ously waited developments.
Later he returned and found an an
swer in the affirmative. That winter he
made regular calls on friends in
X. And, although Hillsville prided
itself upon its power Of detection, It
suspected nothing simply because one
of its lady teachers spent many Of her
evenings in the city.
During March the two were mar
ried, but they decided it would be
wiser not to disclose the news until
commencement. How surprised Hills
vile wasl When had they done It?
The professor declared he had not
once spoken word to his wife of
their romance when in Hillsville. True,
they had held romantic communication
there, often shockingly ardent on the
professors part, according to his wife,
but not one spoken word. The little
hand dictionary had remained their
infallible Dan Cupid.-Capper's Week.

DoUGHNUTS

Doughnuts can be quickly and easily
made at home. So easy is it to make
doughnuts today that the doughnut jar
should never be empty.
By using self-rising flour for maxi
ing the doughnuts we can save consid-
cradle time in the mixing process and
our doughnuts are always the same.
The Ieavening or baking powder, and
the seasoning and the salt have been
combined in the proper proportions
and have been mechanically mixed.
A good inexpensive recipe for dough-
nuts requiring only egg is this:
Doughnuts.
egg Is cup sugar
V cup milk 3 cups self-rising
V tsp. nutmeg -four
l tsp. vanilla
Beat the egg with the sugar; add
the milk, flour, nutmeg and vanilla.
The dough should be as soft as can
be handled. Roll Il inch thick; cut
with doughnut cutter, and fry to a
delicate brown in deep fat. The fat
should be hot enough to brown a cube
Of bread in / minute. Drain on I'M
glazed paper. and dust with confec-
toner's sugar.

PUBLIC APATHET|C
TOWARD SHARKEY
Garden Is Prepared to Take
Big Loss on Tar's Bout
With CampoIo.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
N EW YORK, September 24.-Ofn-
M cialS Of Madison Square Garden
/ are hoping for the best, but are
fully prepared to take q big
loss on the 15-round bout they are
promoting between Jack Sharkey and
Victoria Campolo at the Yankee Sta
dunn tomorrow night.
All efforts to arouse q long suffer-
ing boxing public to the merits, what
ever they may be, of the bout have
failed and indications are the gate will
not exceed the 100000 guaranteed
sharkey, who climaxed a series Of dis
appointing performances by fouling
Max Schmeling, seems to have lost all
OF his one-time powers as Q drawing
card. Campolo, In the few battles he
has had in this country. has gained
no hold on popular imagination.
Sailor Favored . TO 1.
The Boston sailor, despite lethargic
vorite to beat back the big Argentine.
Campolo can hit with his right hand
and no one has doubted his courage,
but he seems too awkward and slow
to hold Sharkey on anything approach
ing even terms. His only chance for
victory, in short, appears to lie In the
landing Of one Of those devastating
right hands.
Sharkey, who was taken III with q
slight attack Of ptomaine poisoning q
few days ago. was examined by physi-
clans for the New York State Athletic
Commission yesterday and pronounced
physically ut.
VIII Broadcast Bout.
The commission temporarily lifted the
suspension placed on Johnny Buckley,
Sharkey's manager, so that Buckley
could act as second for the Boston
sailor on Thursday night. The sus-
pension, imposed in accordance with
similar action in Rhode Island, will
be operative again after the Campolo
bout.
Reversing q previous stand, the garden
announced the fight would be broadcast
through station WEAF of the National
Broadcasting Co.
