1000 INMATES
IDLE # PRISON
SHOPS CLOSE
Welfare Bureau Chief AssaiIs
DeIetion of $46,000 Item
From District Bill

Two thousand prisoners of
District penal institutions will be
forced into idleness and all in
dustrial activities will cease if the
Districts 1884 appropriation bill
is enacted into law in its present
form.
This prediction was made today
by George S. Wilson, director OF
the Board of Public Welfare, as
the result of a $4,000 item being
stricken from the bill when 1t
passed the House on Saturday.
Director Wilson said that If
the same bill is approved by the
Senate, it would force closing OF
all factories at the Lorton Re
formatory and the District Work
house at Occoquan.
Large Sum Saved
One of the principal factories
at Lorton turn out automobile
license plates for the District.
Mr.. Wilson said prior to the time
manufacture of the tags was
instituted in the prison, no local
contractor was ever given the job
of making tags as bids Of local
men were always too high. Since
the District turned the job over
to the prison, thousands Of dollars
have been saved, he said.
Other factories endangered of
shutting up include those which
make "stop" and other traffic
signs, sewer tops, bricks and
clothing for the prisoners.
Virtually all the factories are
paying for themselves through
their operations. =,
Cessation of industrial activities
at the prisons. Mr.. Wilson de-
clared, would prove hazardous as
reinforced idleness always tends to
create surliness in prisoners"
Officials Plan Fight
AS a result of this, District
officials are planning to make a
determined stand to have the
item inserted in the bill when
it comes before the Senate.
Mr.. Wilson explained that the
item was not only for an appro-
priation of the $4,000 but, most
important, carried an authoriza-
tion for the institutions in
dustrial activities so that pro-
ducts of District prison labor
might be turned out for municipal
and Federal Government con-
sumption. Mr.. Wilson stated
none of the prison labor products
are sold into channels of private
business.

Boston.-Women over 40, if you
don't kick the ceiling when you get
up in the morning, or at least want
to kick it, you are probably mixing
proteins, starches and sweets at your

Keep them separated, eat mod

This was the gist of a talk given
to a group of society women by
Mrs. William c. Conant of Weston
at a meeting Of the New England
Farm and Garden Association at
10 Beacon street.
Starches which cannot be mixed
with protein are artichokes, ban
anas, potatoes and grains. Under
the heading of sweets are dates, figs
honey, brown sugar and maple
sugar. Mrs.. Conant gave as her
definition Of disease, the body's in
ability to keep itself clear of its
own debris. Acidity, she said, was
caused by mixing starches, proteins
and sweets, or too many incom-
patibles: She said it takes only noe

live. The other two-thirds, she
said, go to keep the doctor alive.
