Prison Life Is Softened
Under Scientific Meth
ods, Hoover Is Told.

Washington. - The rigOrs of
prison life Of the past are being
sOftened under humane and scien-
tific methods. President Hoover has
been informed in letter from San
ford Bates, director of the bureau
of prisons.
The murderous uprising in pris-
ons during recent years may be
avoided under this gentler system
of dealing with. people convicted of
crime. he Indicated
The reform program which Bates
outlined proposed:
New buildings. decent living con-
ditions. improved diet, better quail
ified prison guards, probation and
parole. and individual education of
prisoners.
Because of aroused public senti-
ment and the cooperation of the
administration. the program is al
ready well under way, but there is
much yet to be done, he reported to
his chief.
I'VE are not yet out of the woods
by a considerable Margin" he said
"Our main penitentiaries are still
grievously overcrOwded. They are
too overcrowded to permit of car
rying out our program completely"
The argument that prisons might
be made such nice places to live
in that they would fail to serve as
deterrents to crime was also con-
sidered by Bates. He took the po-
sition that punishment would not
lose its sting simply because it is
constructive"
Fair Discipline.
"a prison need not have dirt, idle
ness, graft, and cruelty to deter
persons from committing crime" he
said.
"A strict program of prophy
laxis. industry, education. and fair
discipline with a modicum of con-
structive recreation will certainly
not induce people to commit depre-
datiOns on society"
The letter was in the nature of a
report 1t was requested by the
President to ascertain what had
been done to alleviate the situation
which has aroused the country dur
ing the last few years.
Bates found there were only two
problems involved: OvercrOwding
and the tremendous increase in
prisoners as well as the reform
methods of handling them. Six new
federal prisons and four jails are
being used, or constructed to meet
the overcrowding situation, he
said.

Soybean Hay Superior
for Fattening Lambs

Soybean hay cut at the right
time contains the food nutrients in
fairly good proportion for fattening
lambs. But lambs should not be
fed on a bulky ration entirely,
there should be some concentrate
(grain) with it TO get the best re-
suits. Corn and oats for grain and
soybean hay would make 9 splen-
did ration. With corn sildge the
grain ration should contain a high
carrier of protein like oil meal.
what bran, etc, with corn and oats
to give the most economic results.

Feed With Care

One place where many farmers
could be saving themselves hun
dreds of dollars is in feeding horses
with more care, according to r. H.
Wilcox of the University of Illi-
nois. This is revealed, says Mr..
Wilcox, in records which farmers
are keeping in cooperation with
the farm organization and manage
ment department at the university.
Between two typical central Illinois
farms, available records show that
there was a difference of $7SS a
year in horse labor cost.

Wallow for Hogs

One of the most desirable pieces
of equipment in any farm hog lot
on the warm days is wallOw, ac-
cording to George E. Hunt, Univer-
sity of Illinois, who points out that
with a wallow available there is
less danger from overheating and
consequent death when the pigs
have this opportunity to cool off.
A wallOw that has been success
fully used on the university farm
for several years is a simple wooden
one, six by four feet in size.

Eranklin's Tolerance

An interesting letter from Frank
lin to his sister, Jane Macon, is in
the possession of a Philadelphia
firm. upon the whole" Franklin
wrote in part, 81 am much disposed
to like the world as | find it, and
to doubt my own judgment as to
what would mend it. I see so much
Wisdom in what l understand of
it's Creation and Government, that
suspect equal Wisdom may be in
what | do not understand. And
thence have perhaps as much Trust
in God as the most pious Chris
tian."

Hullen, Westphalia.-A farmer

WHAT'S IN FASHION?-
Ciose-Fitting Lingerie

NEW YORK, Oct. lo.-If you're
4 disappointed in the fit of your
new fall dresses-if they don't look
as smooth as your misunderstanding
eyes tell you they should be (even
over that brand new corset)-
Look to your lingerie. It's almost
as disastrous to wear last falls lin
gerie with this falls dresses as it is
to wear last falls corset.
Whereas last years dresses were
bloused above the waist, this years
fit the figure quite closely. The line
through the bodice and waist is
smoother. Lingerie cut to blouse is
bound to make wrinkles and
punches under the closer fitting
dress.
So the new lingerie is cut to fit
like the new dresses smooth
and sleek through the bodice.
Hips are smoother and narrower,
too, and skirts straighter. So in the
new lingerie lots of the fullness has
been taken out between the waist
and the knees. Not so much ballet
skirt effect.
In order to get the smoothest pos
Sible fitting with still enough room
and give" for perfect comfort, the
newest lingerie has taken tip from
Vionnet, the French dreSsmaker ia
nous for her diagonal line costumes.
New chemises, slips and panties
are cut on the bias and scanned

diagonally. They hug the outlines
of the figure almost as close as your
own skin. And without the use of
elasticS or draw-strings, either.
Fewer of the new panties have the
elastic run through the band in the
back. More of them are made with
fat yoke all around or fiat waist
bands.
Less FullneSs Now
Some of the fullneSS has been
left out below the yoke, too, so they
hang straighter more in line
with the Straighter skirts of dresses.
Some of the very newest panties,
in fact. have no fullness in them at
all but fit the thigh as though they
were moulded to it. We've had a
pair of these Sketched and you can
see it looks quite different from the
ace-trimmed pantie, though this,
too, is less full than it would have
been last fall.
There's a new kind of bloomer
out that's entirely minus elastic.
The yoke has been widened and
extended over the hips and a fiat
side opening takes the place of the
usual elastic.
ChemiSeS and slips are designed
much the same through the waist
section, with V-shaped cutting and
scanning.
More Delicate Lace
And here are a few other points
to remember when you buy your
new supply:
The deep-colored lace of a season
or two ago isn't as fashionable now.
e-trimmed lingerie still is in
fashion, but it's trimmed with more
delicately colored lace.
Irish lace edgings are seen on
many of the newest pieces.
And don't forget this: that with
the very sheer woolens so fashion,
able in fall dresses, the colors Of
slips are apt to show through. So
match your slip to your dress.
