CHARGES PEN
 METHODS FAIL
Declares First Time" JaiIs
 Make More Criminals

Philadelphia, GU. P.)-Reform- atories and houses of correction are misnomers, and the authorities have failed miserably in the matter of punishing crime and reforming criminals, in the opinion of William N. Brenner, former chaplain of the Philadelphia County Prisons.
 ''The terms "reformatories" and houses of correction" are mis- nomers," Brenner said. They ac- complish anything but that which their names imply. These insti- tutions. as well as houses of deten- tion and city risons. are dens of contamination and stepping -stones to the penitentiary and the electric chair. Ex-convicts are returned to prison so rapidly that penal insti- tutions cannot be built fast enough to accommodate them."
 Brenner compared the success achieved by trainers of ferocious wild animals with the paltry at- tempts at reformation of criminals by the state and suggested that the nal trainer could be used to good advantage by the state.
 Brenner ventured the opinion that mans success in the training of wild animals is due principally to the intelligence he uses in the task and because he places men in charge of the work who have a firm belief that their pupils can be domesticated and trained. He pointed out that if animals were locked in cells. fed and watered and left to their own devices, as the state does with criminals gen. erally, very little would be accom- plished.

Obituary

[ cality. She was especially devoted to her family and she was one of the staunchest members of the Sacred Heart church and later was one of the pioneer parishoners or Sts Peter and Paul's church. As a mother, neighbor and friend there was no one superior.
 Perhaps no one in the city had more retentive memory than Mrs Phelan and she was regarded as an authority on history of Waterbury years ago. She was delightful com pany, real companion, and loyal friend. Her remarkable disposition and Christian manner endeared her to q wide circle of friends. She is survived by three daugh- ters, Mrs Henry Carlin. Misses Anna and Minnie Phelan; and two sons, Patrolman Joseph Phelan and Jer- emiah J. Phelan and several grand children. Funeral announcement will be made later.
 COCKER-Mrs. Sarah Cocker, age 77 years, died early this morning at her home, 4 Wheeler street. She had been a resident here for 52 vars residing for the greater part of the time in Waterville, where she was very we'll known.
 Mrs. Cocker is survived by three sons, Joseph of Great Harrington, Frederick of Shelton and Arthur of this city.
 The body was removed to the fu- neral home of Arthur Lunny. 25 Central avenue from where the flu. neral will take place on Sunday aft. ernoon at time to be announced later. Burial will be in MiddleburS CemeterY.

French Colonial
 Fashions Here
Proving Popular Among the Best Dressed Europeans
BY FRANCES FACET Copyright. 1O3O. by Style Sources

lUCV, ny Stylc sources
 New York. December 30 -CUP)
 - Among the already formulated fashions which promise to receive further stimulation from the forth coming French Colonial Exhibition. which is scheduled to begin in Paris next May, are Persian, lndo Chinese or Paisley themes. Added to these are colorful Oriental designs from Morocco, Algiers and Tunis.
 The fashion history of the Per- sian idea begins back beyond the announcement of the exhibit, and 1t is closely related to the products on which the attention of the world will be focused. Printed on silk cloths. both imported, Persian pat termed silks made scattered ap- pearance in American fall collec- tions earlier this year. Since then the Persian theme has been reiter- ated In millinery and in dress trim mings. Some of the newest varia- tions involve minute motifs devel- oped in mixtures of light rather than heavy colors. These are being printed on crepe.
 Also turning eastward - you will stumble upon the source of some of the most noteworthy style ideas in sportswear. The hot countries are offering some gay themes in both establishing high style favor in cot tons. One of the most interesting phases of their endorsement is the alliance of dark and vivid colors that may be contrasted sharply with white. Another is the use of bright Algerian color contrasts. of stripes sponsoring two or more vivid shades

PRUSSIA CUTS PEN POPULATION

ing in Prussia Is not diminishing. it's prison population has been cut down since the war by nearly a half and all indications are that 1t Is still falling.
 In 1913 there were 54,O0O con- victs in Prussia. In 1926 the num- Der had fallen to 32,211. and in 1929 to 30,495. According to pres ent indications the number will be slightly lower again this year. At the same time it is calculated that the number of law violations has increased since pre-war days by 25 per cent.
 The practice of assuring fines for offenses which previously had been punished by Imprisonment has cut the prison population.

BRITISH CHANGE
 PLANE NAMES

London, GU. P.)-British Royal Air Force planes flew 100000 miles, or slightly more than twelve times roudn the world at the equator, during the recent ceaseless air war between mythical lands called Red Colony" and "Blue Colony"
 Two hundred and fifty airplanes took part in the annual flight which lasted 63h hours. Official figures disclosed by the Air Ministry show that the total flying forces numbered 2.980. Men and machines were em- ployed by night and day and in bad weather too. The sham battles aloft were as near the real thing as officials could make them.
 The outstanding impression gained from a study of the hours spent in the air was one of intense mobil- ity. according to military observ- erS
 The great distances covered by the conflicting air forces show the swiftness of overhead fighting. Such speed offers sharp contrast the campaigns waged by Hanni- al, and later Napoleon, before the
 ign of mud in Flanders brought
 .rfare to a standstill.

Urge Hospital Care
 for Boys in Gray

Washington, D. C.-Featuring the 193O-31 legislative program of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the D. S., will be recommendation to congress urging the authorization of Veterans Bureau hospital facili- ties in the south for the care of dis abled Confederate veterans.
 Present regulations governing Veterans Bureau hospitals provide hospitalization for all veterans of all wars, but as far as the Civil war is concerned. only veterans of the Union army are included.
 In an appeal presented to the na- tional council of administration of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U. S., at its annual meeting held at national headquarters in Kansas City recently, representatives of V. F. w. posts in the south deplored the lack of hospital facilities for the aged veterans of the Confederate army.
 Throughout the south. 1t was pointed out. there are comparatively large numbers of Confederate vet erans who are stricken with the dis abilities of advanced years and are forced by poverty to turn to chari- table institutions for assistance. Many of these veterans are being cared for by state institutions but these facilities are extremely lim- tied, it was explained.
 In including this policy in the 1930-31 legislative program, Chair man Edwin s. Bettelheim, Jr. de- clared that -Four organization be- lieyes these veterans are entitled to the same disqualification privileges that are being granted to other vet erans."
