BABIES IN PRISON

It comes something of shock to learn that there
three small babies confined in the penitentary
at Auburn, N. Y.
They lodged in the womens section of the prison.
Their mothers serving sentences for crimes of
kind another, and since provision is made for ba
bies whose mothers have to prison. these babies
have gone to prison along with them.
Auburn prison, unfortunately isn't unique in this
spect There other prisons in this country where
the same sort of thing is happening; prisons where
women prisoners have their babies with them behind
the bars.
1t would be hard to find damning indictment
of our civilization than that fact.
OF all the places in which small child is out of place,
state prison first. One would think that
ciety would be stupid and cruel permit such
thing for one instant. Imagine the handicap under
which such child must begin its lfe Imagine how
infinitely increased its chances of growing up as
criminal!
Yet the thing happens: at Auburn and elsewhere, 1t
happens simply because we're too lazy to figure out
some better solution We get woman who is under
prison sentence, and find that she has small child
and we don't take the trouble to devise any way of
handling the situation other than to permit her, graci
ously, to take the child to prison with her.
1t be that the mothers of these children will have
finished their sentences before the babies old enough
to know anything about their surroundings. That how
makes little difference. The outstanding TACT
in the is that barbarous and unutteraby stupid
to have child in prison at ALL If nothing else be
done, their mothers ought to be set free.

BEAUTY LOSES TO UTILITY

A certain small town in New Jersey had-until the
other day-a fine row of 13 old Sycamore trees The
trees planted years before the beginning of
the American Revolution symbols of the l3 colonies
and thus had historic interest to add to their quiet
beauty. "a y. aa,s
Then, morning the citizens of the town woke up
to lind that city official had cut down of these
trees because they menaced automobile traffic
lhe citizens got busy and passed around petitions en-
pressing their indignation but nasmuch as the trees
were already cut down, it didn't do them any good

Willingness to sacrifice beauty and sentiment for the
sake of some material gain.
Automobile traffic is important of course 1t de-
mands straight, wide highways that it can flow rap
idly and smoothly. Yet there occasions when if is
less important than other things.
This New Jersey official who chopped down two
priceless old trees in order speed the flow automo
bile traffic deprived his fellow citizens of something
extremely precious. To be sure they will be able to
drive about in their little bit faster but will

time make for the loss of those that cannot be
replaced?
If the incident stood alone would not be worth dis
cusslng at such length. But it does not Every city
and town in the country repeatedly has to chose be-
tween beauty and utility. All too often utility is favor

Uncle Butter, the goat. And NOM
ent later Uncle Buffers horns went
down and his feet went up and he
turned somersault and fell on his
back.
"More banana skin, l guess!'
grunted the pig, and when he and
Uncle Wiggilv reached Uncle But
ter they found he had slipped just
as had Mr.. Twistytail.
"Oh. this is too bad,' cried
Uncle Wiggilv. Then he and the pig
and the goat hurried along and just
ahead they saw Buster and Custer
with Jingle and Jangle. eating their
bananas and throwing the skins on
the sidewalk.
"Oh, my dears, you mustn't do
that.' cried Uncle Wiggily. at is
very wrong to throw slippery ban
ana skins on the sidewalk, or orange
peelings, either
of you please we haven't any
oranges, said Baby Bunty. "But
if you were to buy us some we
wouldn't throw the peeling on the
sidewalk, would we'' she asked.
"Oh, no,' said all the others.
"Never mind about that!' cried
Uncle Wiggily. "You must stop
putting your banana skins on the
sidewalk, You made Uncle Butter
and Mr.. Twistytail fall down. -
And just then Twister, another rab
bit boy, happened to step on a bit
of banana peeling dropped by Twist
er and he fell down so they all saw
that what Uncle Wiggily said was
true. For Twister fell down so hard
he cried.
Then all the rabbit boys and girls
promised they would never again
throw anything slippery ON the
sidewalk and away they ran to
school not one having any bananas
left for recess. But they were
happy.

beach parties became the order

points along the beach, and.
garbed in brightly colored beach

Canoeing and night swimming,
too, came in for their share of
attention. Sea nettles, it seems,
do not sting after it becomes
dark, while during the daytime
they have been making things
miserable for bathers.
