N. R. A. SETSPR|CES
FORPR|SON GOODS
Problems Are Worked Out
by Code Authority to Halt
UnderselIing.

Twenty-nine States and the Federal
Government have dumped their COM
mon difficulties into one heap for
collective solution of the old and per-
picking problem of keeping prison in
mates busy and simultaneously pre-
venting their cheaply manufactured
products from cutting into the field
of free labor and industry. according
to the Associated Press.
A struggle which began early in
the nineteenth century now is yield
ing to a new line of attack, encom-
passing negotiation through the
Prison Labor Authority. established
under the N r. A. to administer a
code of fair competition for prison
industries.
All but three of the States whose
penal institutions produce articles sold
on the open market are among the
29 to sign the agreement.
Underselling Forbidden.
The most important clause in the
N R. A. code is one asserting prison.
made goods shall be sold not lower
than the fair current price prevailing
in the market in which the product
is customarily sold"
To administer this, the authority
was given power to determine the
prices at which prison-made goods
should be sold. In its two months OF
life the Prison Authority has been
busiest carrying this clause into ef-
feet, and from it has grown its great
est accomplishments.
An initial survey showed So diff
ferent articles were manufactured IN
various prisons, with few. such as
cotton garments, boots and shoes,
brooms, brushes and binder twine,
dominating the field.
Customarily they were placed on
the market at a price which included
a very small labor charge, in which
no allowance whatsoever was made
for light, heat, purchase and de-
probation of machinery and other
items of overhead.
Prices Worked Out.
The authority promptly began con-
sultation with representatives of the
COOtS CONcIulB IIlC 10 lCClIo anu ~
agreement began working out price
figures for the prison products which
would not interfere with the output
of private business. With this prob
lem all but out of the way the au-
thority is turning to other tasks stip-
ulated in the compact, chief of which
is the diversif1cation of prison indus
tries.
"Diversification will have important
and beneficial results" Howard B
Gill, economic adviser to the authority
and a former prison warden, said.
with a possibility of SO industries
there is no reason why competition
should lean heavily on any one line
of industry
Taking the So industries already in
stalled in the prisons as basis, the
authority is compiling data on how
individual prisons can best introduce
a number of them. 1t Is making
ready to assume the function OF a
clearing house for advice upon that
problem.
The N. R. A. code, incidently, pro-
vides for maximum hours and many
other things included in the usual
code of fair competition for private
business As result, prison products
manufactured under the code may
carry the Blue Eagle label. An effort
was made by the cotton goods in
dustry to prevent this, but Gen. john

What Is On Your Table?

people to wait on the ever growing
number of customers and promptly
fill the orders.
Ray has a way about him which
makes friends and customers. 1t is
a pleasure to go into his store. Inn
mediately one recognizes the fact
that to trade where all the en-
ployees are nice and courteous and
with everything fresh and orderly
stocked is about the most desirable
place one could hope to find in

Every housewife is, no doubt,
interested in what goes on the table
at meal time. 1t isn't easy to de-
eide always just what should be
served at every meal. When one
member of a family wants one va
'riety of food another desiring some
thing else makes it difficult for
the one who does the planning to
know just what to serve. Then,
too, one naturally has to take into
consideration a variety of foods
which are properly balanced.
A great deal of thought has
been given to- the proper balancing
of food-still, on many tables, may
be found food entirely suitable for
grown people, but wholly unsuited
for children, although children may
be expected to partake of the food
just as though it had been prepared
especially for them.
A very important thing in the
life of a growing child is to have a
we'll roundabout diet, one which
builds bone and muscle, and, of
course, in selecting the proper food
for the entire family, especially
where the family is composed of
growing children as we'll as grown
ups, and off times elderly people,
makes the problem more difficult.
thing to remember in the
selection of food is to see that all
foods selected are fresh and of
good quality. This part of the task
may be solved without any Difficult
ties whatsoever, lust phone No. "a
