Embraces New Ideas

Within the walls construction will
express some of the new ideas in
prison arrangement and penal prac-
tice to be developed at the peniten-
tiary.
The familiar "big house" of most
prisons will be missing. Accommo-
dations will range from a small
block with inside cells for less
tractable inmates to small dormitory
apartments for the most peaceable
prisoners, Offering them living quar-
tiers on a par wit hthose of an aver
age-salaried person.
Conduct and character will deter
mine occupancy Of the more favored
dormitories.
Inside the walls, too, will be build
ings providing kitchen, baking, re-
frigerating, butchering, and manu-
featuring facilities; claSsrooms and
laboratories; a hospital; a radio
room; a theater and auditorium
and a comfortable library. Outdoors
extensive fields for farming and
dairying have been planned.

Of the sheriff.
The government has decreed that all farms
must be kept in production in order that un-
favorable import conditions shall not continue
to exist and in order that Jobs may be pro-
vided for unemployed.
Under the new rules, according to Walter
Bauer, an expert of the Foreign Agricultural
Service of the Department Of Agriculture, the
mayor of each locality, with the assistance OF
the rural police, constitutes committee to de-
termine if any farms are not operated as the
season, crop and good farming practice demand.
When conditions are found which are be-

Spanish farms accustomed a state agrl-

he is required to pay.
