LOrtOn'S Troubles
A System On Trial

The recent disturbances at LOrton Reformatory again call
attention deastic experiment which the District
been making in the treatment of convicts.
At Lorton established reformatory which built
the principle that convcs could be reclaimed society
that they could be treated and not beasts that
they would respond properly to kind and consderate treat
ment.
Although hundreds of confined at the reformator
has walls and only few cells the latter for disciplinary
purposes only.
Suddenly the peaceful atmosphere of the institution is
disturbed by riots and rebellion.
Scores of Washington policemen called to the reorma
tory augment the small guard force in queng the dis
turbance and maintaining peace.
Among the high officials charges and charges are
hurled and the superintendent resigns
This matter calls for the serious consideration by the
District Commissioners.
the courts continue send prisoners to Loron
there be that they be controlled
without depicting Washington's police force
The city and the countryside in which Loron located
be assured that not simply gathering together
thousand dangerous who at moment may rebel and
off.
The superintendent of District penal Institutions
Capt NJ Barnard indicates that his confidence in the
Lorton system is not shaken by recent events.
He maintains and with justification that prisoners
being sent to Loton who should be walled prisons
properly that ermers recdvits and des
perate characters the type for which the institution
was designed.
Captain Barnards contentious true then the courts
have erred seriously in sending this type of to Lorton
It is up the District Commissioners to make clear that
that type be handled at Lorton and insist that they
be sent elsewhere
In the meantime the Commissioners should instruct the
Board of Public Welfare make thorough investigation Of
Lorton and its troubles better STILL should make the in
vestgation themselves.
The Commissioners will have to fill the vacancy left by the
resignation of Lorton's superintendent.
That position will require strong man. thoroughly versed
in penology.
There are such in the District and when the time
comes to fill the place Washingtonian should given the

Three-Minute Journeys
By Temple Manning

My mail includes frequent re-
quests for information as to
places off the beaten path Of
the tourist. And to such re-
quests I invariably include Fin
land in my list Of little visited
places.
To most people, Finland con-
veys vague impressions of snow
fields, forests, bears and wolves,
the music of Sibelius and fleet
footed runners. But Finland
has ever so much more than
this. 1t is a land of light, SUM-
shine, scenic beauty, a real
holiday land, this little country
tucked away behind Norway
and Sweden, in its northeastern
corner of Europe. It is it's posi-
ton, perhaps, that has pre-
vented it from being better
known. The adventurous ones
who have sought it out have
been delighted and have hast
ened to pass on the news.
Those to whom salmon fishing
is a major sport, constitute a
goodly portion of Finland's- re-
gular visitors.
Helsingfors, the capital, is an
extremely up-to-date town. It's

Human Side of the News
Another Attempt to Communicate With
Mars-Electric Searchlights On jung
frau-Possibilities of Radio
.By EdUin C.. Hill.

From the daily run of the
news there leaps now and
again an idea which thrills
the imagination. A group Of
enthusiastic Britons proposes
to set up on the towering
peak of the Jungfrau, in the
Swiss Alps, a tremendously
powerful battery of elec-
trio searchlights. They pro-
pose, in this coming month of
August, to flash messages in
Morse code to the astrono-
mers of the planet Mars who
are supposed to be peering
through their telescopes to-
ward the earth.
In the latter part of Au-
gust Mars will swing in its
orbit to within a little more
than 100000 miles of the
earth. The British scientists
seek an answer to the age-old
question: Is Mars inhabited?
The Washington times., 1933-07-11
Belief Grows

The surface temperatures
Of Mars compare very IA
vorably with the surface
temperatures of the earth.
During the Martian winter
the poles of Mars are blan-
keted and surrounded with
a vast white deposit. This
melts away with the ap-
proach Of summer. AS the
melting proceeds, vast areas
of Mars change in color
from white to red to green.
Nowadays many astrono-
mers agree with Prof.
Lowell and DR.. Coblentz
that the disappearance Of
the vast white areas around
the Martian poles is really
the melting of enormous
fields of snow and ice, such
as envelope our own North
Pole and South Pole. And
so the belief has grown that
vegetation thrives, dies and
is reborn through the Mar
tian seasons. The atmos-
phe~e is thin, but there may
be beings who can breathe
that atmosphere and flour
ish.
The newest convert to the
theory of life on Mars is
Hiram Percy Maxim. Mr..
Maxim joins the ranks OF
those who are convinced
that the famous "canals
Of Mars are actually the gl-
gantic achievements of a
race far more advanced
than the human race. He
cites the investigation by
Prof. Lowell of the great
circle markings on the sur
face of Mars.

strike the keynote Of modernity.
Passengers dock at the lovely
South Harbor, right under the
shadow Of the observatory that
stands high on a hill. Quickly
one drives through the market
place to the magnificent
Esplanade, broad and be-
flowered, with shops and busy
cafes at either end, very cosmo-
politan and gay, and very, very
different from ones former
ideas of frozen Finland. Hell
singfors. or Helsinski, as it is
called, is built on a peninsula
and is cooled and refreshed by
constant sea breezes, even in
the hottest summer.
The Finnish coast provides
numerous shore resorts, all well
equipped, all beautiful. The
zone nearest the coast is
naturally the most fertile, and
the landscape is perfectly love
ly, rich with idyllic beauty. The
lake tours are delightful, the
scenery ranging from the simply
pastoral to comfortable. Helped
out where necessary by a series
Of canals, the lakes merge one
into the other, permitting long
trips.
The Washington times., 1933-07-11

Among the many who
have seen these circular
lines are Schiaperelli, Perro-
tin, Thollon, Flammarion,
Fauth, Williams, Pickering,
Douglas, Lampland, and
Schaeberle. Mr.. Maxim sug-
gests that these lines, like
the canals of Mars, are arti-
ficial and therefore the gil
gantic work of intelligent
beings of tremendous intel
lectual capacity.
As for the canals, Mr..
Maxim believes that they
are vast artificial channels
which bring water down
from the melting snowcaps
of the planet to revive vege-
tation and maintain life.

Radio Possibilities

Fascinating are the posi-
bilities suggested for the
future Of radio communica-
tion with the planet which
is our near neighbor in the
great family of the solar
system. For Maxim says
that if the mental abilities
of the Martians are as much
in advance of ours as their
canals would indicate they
may have brought radio to
a very high level of devel-
opment. And radio, he
thinks, is the only possible
means of exchanging the
news and the time of day
between the earth and Mars.
AS yet, however, we hui
man beings are not very
far advanced in the use OF
radio, and improvements will
have to be made in operat-
ing on lower wave-lengths
(the work which the great
Italian, Marconi, is now en-
gagged upon) and IN gener-
ating and detecting electro
magnetic oscillations.
In the opinion Of Hiram
Percy Maxim 25 years more
of experiment will probably
see the radio engineers able
to separate these oscllia-
tions, and we shall then be
able to say whether any one
of them represents a sys-
tematic and deliberate en-
deayor on the part Of some
intelligence far out in cos
mic space to signal to us.

Too Young

It is interesting to recall
that Marconi, himself, the
last man to be impressed by
romantic dreams, has de-
tected in the ether radio
activity resembling signals
which he has not been able
to account for. Is it possible
that the superbeings on
Mars are already attempting
to get into communication
with us creatures of the
earth?
Certainly life and intelli-
gence may be supposed to
exist elsewhere in space. 1t
would be the last word in
faulty to assume that the
earth alone was the home Of
life and of thinking beings.
Both exist, in Mr.. Maxim's
belief, in countless worlds,
and always in different
physical shapes. Intelligent

Out in Cold
Legislators Banned From
Possible State Jobs
by Constitution.

7 LEGISLATIVE ''yes-men, who
l. may have voted for the ad-
ministration reorganization law
with one eye cooked on a state
job. are doomed TO dlSappoint-
ment, it was learned today.
For, in addition TO not read
ing the bill for themselves, they
also may have forgotten to read
the state Constitution.
Section 3, article Of that docu-
ment, says:
NO senator or representative
shall, during the term for which
he may have been elected, be
eligible to any Office, the election
to which is vested in the general
assembly; nor shall he be appoint
ed to any civil Office of profit,
which shall have been created, or
emoluments of which shall have
been increased, during such term;
but this latter provision shall not
be construed to apply to any Of
flee elective by the people
The reorganization law places
all power over state administra-
tive and executive patronage di-
rectly in the hands Of Governor
Paul V. McNutt.
Since this is an abolition of the
old system, it amounts to creation
of all new jobs, constitutional
authorities contend, and it is re-
ported that this view will be taken
by the administration.
AS a consequence there will be
no Jobs for legislators.
