Plan Will Relieve Over= Cr0wding in Provincial
 Prisons

Peiping, China, (UP)-Use of convict labor for the development of China's northwestern frontier has been recommended by the min- istry of justice. The action is ex- pected to further complicate the situation in the northwest, where already the Mongols have estab- lished an autonomous government in protest against encroaching Chi nese agricultural colonization.
 The plan to send convicts to- the northwest is urged as necessity to relieve overcrowding in various provincial prisons. In the past, overcrowding of prisons has been met through the simple processes of executions or pardons. Enforced liberation of prisoners. ministry of justice officials contend, has fos- tered disregard for the law. There has been no way to check upon criminals turned loose before terms of punishment have been complet- ed.
 Newspapers in the coastal cities approve of the recommendations of the ministry of justice, but the set- tiers in the northwest vigorously object to prospects of an influx of colonists just released from jails. Proponents of the idea contend that it would help check the cur rent movement from rural to urban districts and that after convict set- tiers have developed the northwest to the point of having the comforts of civilization other less hardy fel- lows would follow with their fam flies.

WORRY BLAMED
 FOR INDIGESTION
Sense of Responsibility Is Cause of Considerable
 Stomach Trouble

Chicago. (UP)-1f you have chronic indigestion and rumbling pains in the stomach, 1t is probably due as much to worry and a sense of responsibility as to anything else. This is the opinion of Dr A. c. Ivy, professor of physiology In the Medical School at Northwest ern university.
 Such condition is not incurable however, Professor Ivy says. To be sure, if tho spirit of responsibility has gained a seemingly unassail- able position in your mental being, the road to perfect ease and com fort will be hard. The best way is to forget your worries for brief pe-
 riods, but even the most serious and stern-minded person can learn to have the "hasta manana" spirit of the native South American, says the professor.
 Here's his formula for the road l. Teach yourself to forget your worries and responsibilities for
 brief periods at least.
 2. Learn to relax your body muscles at will.
 8. In time of stress or excite
 ment, postpone any eating until calm and the appetite are returned. In commenting on the first max i'm of his code, Professor Ivy points out that, while it is important to take your self seriously, you should not permit the idea to take com- plete charge. You can learn, he says, to forget responsibility even
 as you can learn to shoulder 1t.

inch gun protruding from the tur- ret, and the illusion vanishes.
 The gun wobbles like stalk of fresh-cooked spaghetti. The sol- diers complete the comedy by re- moving the cardboard sides of the machine and disclosing peace- able, everyday roadster.
 There is something very amus- ing about that tank, and the audi ence invariably responds. Just as inevitably q voice somewhere in the theater shouts "ahue'' (quietN and the chucklers shamefacedly subside. For the average German the nations deepest shame is the meager armament of 1888 com pared with the tremendous pre- war military machine.
 The firm continues with the an- tics of a ridiculous little cardboard airplane, drawn through the air dangling on a string as substitute for the combat planes which the peace treaties forbade Germany. There is no laughter at this. A nat- ural fear of air attack has been carefully fostered by the govern ment in its campaign for bomb de- fense.
 For months shops have display ed postcard maps picturing a helpless Germany completely ring ed by fortresses, regiments and air squadrons of unfriendly neighbors.

 Much of the credit for the ribh morale existing in the Death Val ley camp must be given to the Army Reserve Officers, theMarine Corps officers, and the two enlist ed men of the camp affairs.

Berlin. (UP)-German movie audiences have been growing alter nately hilarious and indignant at a one-reel feature contrasting the Reich's (iiterally) rubber guns with the howitzers of other powers.
 No attempt is made to hide the purpose of the film. From the title "The Others Re-arm" through it's entire length, it is frankly propa- ganda for German arms equality.
 For half the film the audience is treated to a pyrotechnic display such as never figured in Holly woods widest dreams. The war ships, tanks, bombing, torpedo and combat planes, infantry and artil- lery of all heavily armed nations are put through their paces.
 Then comes the climax. A very efficient light tank rolls into view, comes to @ halt and disgorges a squad of Reichswehr men. An off, ficer strikes the muzzle of the two-

German Prisoners May Stay in Prison After
 Terms Expire

Berlin, (UP)-Hereafter, Ger man convicts may be detained in jail for life even after their prison terms have expired.
 This so-called preventive deten- tion," provided in the governments new law to fight habitual criminals is applicable to any convict whose record indicates stubborn inclina- ton to break the law"
 Preventive detention will last for at least three years. The law provided that "after each three years an investigation is to be made to ascertain whether the conditions recommending detention still exist" Tn case they do. pre- ventive detention will be automat- ically prolonged another three years.
 The law is to be put into effect immediately. Prison authorities have been requested to investigate the records of prisoners under their care.
 Preventive detention, though of shorter duration, also may be inc fiicted upon persons inclined to break the law under the influence of alcohol.
 Thus a man who, when drunk, Is habitually apt to commit assault and battery may be detained up to two years and subjected to a cure.

ATOM EXPERT
 IS GIRL SHY C Cambridge u. Prof Fears Females Even More
 Than Publicity

London, (UP)-A girl-shy genius of mathematics is being hailed as the Newton of the new age. and it is predicted that his fame as the greatest scientific thinker of the century will eclipse that of Fin stein.
 Although he is only 31, pr Paul A. M. Dirac, Cambridge university professor, has been jointly award ed the 1883 Nobel prize in physics.
 Professor Dirac is one infant prodigy who has achieved fame in later years. He was an outstand- ing mathematician at 23, amazed the graybeards of the British asso- citation at 27, and was only 30 when he was made professor.
 Born of a Swiss father and British mother, Dirac wanted to be an electrical engineer. Nobody would give him job when he was graduated from Bristol University at the age of 19, so he commenced to delve into the mysteries of the atom, and his atomic theories now are claimed to take the world far ther than it ever has gone.
 The young professor Is prover- bially shy, however. Even more than publicity he fears women, and even after meeting the most charming, declares that he cannot afterwards remember whether they were plain or pretty. On the day of his appointment as professor he fled to the ZOO to escape congratu- lations.

CONVICT ASKS
INFORMATION
ON HIS TRIAL

Echoes of a criminal case tried
and settled here 13 years ago were
heard in the county clerks office
yesterday through the receipt of &
letter from Fred Lake, now con-
fined IN San Quentin penitentiary,
asking for certain details of the
trial which sent him to prison.
In this letter Lake asked the
clerk for definite information con-
cerning his two lawyers, Who he
said, were not in court the day his
motion for a new trial was argued
and his sentence pronounced. One
of these attorneys, Harry Ellison,
had said he was there at the time
but Lake in his letter emphatically
declared that this statement Of his
is entirely overreached, for l re-
membered plainly that he was not
there that morning.
In reply to this letter, 1t is stated
that the minutes of the court at
the time of the trial have been ex-
amined and it is found that both
attorneys 0. v. Wilson and Eli
son appeared on May 13, 1920, the
day on which the verdict was re-
turned.
On May II, a motion for a new
trial was filed and came on for
hearing on the same day. The min
utes show the appearance of both
attorneys, Wilson and Ellison, al
the time of hearing and that the
motion was denied by the court
without argument after which SEN
tence was pronounced.
Lake is serving a life sentence in
the state prison for the killing on
February II, 1920, of j. A, Partin,
in Winterhaven. The record of this
action shows that Partin had been
q deputy sheriff and that there
had been bad blood between him
and Lake who had been owner of
pool hall in that town. The rec
ords Iurther show that they met
on a street corner in Winterhaven
on the day in question and that
Partin was shot by Lake who tes-
Gified that Partin had come at HIM
with an open knife in his hand.
This was denied by other witnesses
at the trial.

first degree murder with recon-
mendation of life Imprisonment,

So President Roosevelt armed
with greater power than any Pres
ident in peace time, may find dis
cretion the better part of valor-
for little while longer.
Impatient ones are urging a
blanket shortcut by which as a
stop-gap, President Roosevelt would
call upon all industry to adopt a
minimum wage scale and a uni
verSal maximum week of 36 hours
or so, to hold until separate codes
had been approved. Examination
of the law indicates this could not
be done without hearings. That
would take weeks. The only stop
gap, which could be applied at once
would be a purely voluntary one.
1t might be done with few basic
industries more quickly with a
few days of simultaneous hearings
for each.
Considered A Gamble
At the present rate, millions can
not be put to work within few
weeks as had been planned Speed
up measures are likely but their ma
ture is uncertain.
Although the administration has
tremendous powers it is finding
that they are much like credit
they will not stand up if overwork-
ed. General Johnson IS impulse tells
him to strike out and make an eX-
ample of some of the obstruction
lists. His judgment tells him tc
nurse them while longer.
1t is a gamble. On one side is
the advantage of winning the CO.
operation of industry. On the other
side is the danger from rapid risf
of prices, the heavy oyerstocking OF
goods all out of reach of the con-
! Sumer whose wages, if indeed ht
has got his job back, have not be-
gun to rise, situation which Cen
eral johnson fears will end in an
other collapse if not corrected

thus. "If the privately elected

LEGAL
IN OKLAHOMA
BY GEORGE B. ROSCOE
United Press Staff Correspondent

OKLAHOMA CITY, July II. U.H
-Jubilant vets today hailed the
conversion of bone-dry Oklahoma to
the ranks of states permitting the
sale of 80 per cent beer as the
most encouraging victory of their
war on prohibition.
The state voted almost two to
one to legalize beer at an election
yesterday. Previously it had been
regarded as second only to Kansas
in devotion to the dry cause.
Oklahoma is the 35th state to le-
galize beer.
Returns from 1920 of the states S
1913 precincts showed 202,796 votes
for beer and 113,564 against. Re-
turns were complete for is counties
and partial for the other 81.
Although legalization of beer does
not become operative for five days,
sale was started today.
After stationing national guards
men around trains of beer i'll rail-
road yards, Gov. w. H. (Alfalfa
BilD Murray abruptly ordered them
withdrawn. He issued a proclama-
ton permitting immediate sale Of
beer
Several counties cast dry majori-
ties Most of them were along the
Kansas border, only a few miles
from the towns where Garry Ma
ton made her hatchet famous. 1ne
southwestern part of the state also
showed considerable dry strength.
These dry areas gave prohibition
leaders hope that the state would
vote against repeal. Members OF
the legislature, now trying to set
up machinery for a repeal election,
believe the referendum will be held
in December, although no date has
been set.
