The Once Over
FROM JAIL TO JOURNALISM

BALTIMORE, Nov. 16-A class IN journalism has
been opened IN the Maryland State Penitentiary.
Eleven convicts. including one murderer. are studying
to be newspaper men-Nevspaper item.
Well the experiment if successful should at least
assure managing editors a more interesting reply when
they ask applicants, What have you done?"
But It's a pretty depressing item. The penitsntiary
part is bad. but. according to reports, the school Of
journalism output IS quite disturbing.
What could move a prison inmate to want to be-
come a newspaper man is something Of a mystery.
Possibly it's the discovery that so many writer's are
getting away with murder.
If the Baltimore convicts matriculats We may see
some exciting moments around the managing eds
desk. For instance.
Convict-Stick EN- up
ManaFing Edltor-Whats the NATTER
Convict-Dont make a move till / get on the staff.
Managing Editor-But what's the idea?
Convict want a newspaper job.
Mana ging Editor-Do you want inside work.
Convict-No thanks I've had plenty.
Managing Editor-I mean, have you ever done much
with the penn
Convict-Tve done plenty in the pen. if not with 1t.
Managing Editor-Is it your desire to make the
newspaper business your life work7
Convict shuddering)-Don use that word life
please
Managing Editor-Haye you ever done any inagi-
native writing?
Convict-No. but I'm sure 1 could.
Managing Editor-What makes YOU think so?
C~onvict-Al the judges I've ever faced have said
nv stories were unbelievable.
Managing ~Editor-Perhaps We could use you as a
makeup man.
Convict Qirmly)-When l want to spend my life at
hard labor III 60 back to tine hoosegow.
Managing Editor-How would YOU like 70 be 4 dra-
matte critic?
C~onyict-Not unless I could get a pardon after two
years.
Managing Editor-Well, what would you say to do
ing a newspaper column?
Convict with a deeply hurt looE)-one more threat
like that and I'll blow your head off!
The possibilities are intriguing. However. one thing
is fairly certain: after a prison graduate lands on a
metropolitan newspaper and finds that the telephone
booths in which a reporter spends most Of his life are
even smaller than a cell, he will volunteer to 90 back
10 jail.

John Bull And His Sea Lanes

Great Britain has 10000 miles Of communication
by sea and Rear Admiral Mark Kerr. noted British
naval veteran, is certain that his country would
starve IN two months If sea communications we're
cut off. This is the evidence he submitted AT any
time we have only seven weeks food for the people Of
this country. We never grow more or raise more
food in one month than would feed the people one
week. That means II our sea communications are
cut IN two months We are starved And John Bull
Is going to do his level best TO retain his mastery Of
the seven seas. II is a matter of self preservation.
