MODERN D. c. JAIL
DECLARED NEEDED
MingIing of HabituaI and
First Offenders Held Bad
Condition.

The demand for a more modern
District jail, with adequate facilities
for the segregation Of prisoners, was
stressed by Capt. Thomas M. Rives,
superintendent of the Jail, in an
address before the Washington High
lands Citizens Association last night
He declared association with habit
ual prisoners was harmful to first
offenders.
In line with a new building pro-
gram. Capt. Rives said would be more
ground to enable prisoners to work
and raise produce, thereby cutting the
cost Of Jail maintenance. The idea
Of swork on the land would tend to
reduce the number of prisoners jailed,
In the opinion of Capt. Rives. Sue
cess in management he attributed to
humane treatment of the prisoners.
The association considered the need
for proper sewer facilities. In sew
eral instances, it was said, Stagnant
pools of water had formed under
houses in the neighborhood. w. Earl
Nair, president of the association,
named a committee to call on the
present head of the Health Depart
ment, Dr. Edward j. Schwartz, and
formally present their complaint
Another matter given consideration
was the switching back of street cars
marked Congress Heights at Fifth and
Alabama avenue southeast, instead of
continuing the whole route. The Sec
retary was directed to send letter of
complaint to the Public Utilities Com
mission and the Capital Transit Co.
Nair said that several cutters and
holes in the streets, reported to the
District engineers. had been repaired.
The meeting was held in the home
Of the secretary, Miss B. B. Warren.

rOxIN WELLS

TOXIN WELLS The treatment of diseased teeth in order to improve systemic health is no longer theory. It is priIl. ciple of practice.
 Dr. D. c. Rosenow of the Mayo Foundation, Rochester, Minnesota. has proved by careful scientific re- search, that diseased teeth are a menace to health. Recently, at the annual meeting of the New Jersey State Dental society, April 23, 1895, he presented moving pie lures which showed how he con- ducted his studies at the Mayo In- stitute.
 These pictures illustrated his experiment in which germs were taken from tooth ends of persons who had symptoms of arthritis and injected into an animal. In nearly all cases the animal showed symp- toms of the same disease. There was evidently little question but that the disease in the beginning was caused by infected teeth.
 In the face of such evidence, persons who shut their eyes to the danger of diseased teeth are unwise to say the least. A long list of systemic diseases have been frequently attributed to diseased teeth by careful medical and den- tai observers.

 3..The Eugenical News presents an analysis of the loans, approxi- mating a million dollars, made by a philanthropie foundation to col lege students. The results show considerable differences in the re- liability of the different races; also that mothers with babies are like- iy to let the babies come first and that widows with sons to educate are the worst pay of all. But by and large men and women repay equally well. College students are proba ely not different In this re. spect from men and women in gen. eral.

it. but it seemed to him, all at once, the most glorious of adven- lures. Katharine opposite him in a deep chair. Lamplight and fire light on her exquisite face and fair hair ~.
 Oh, he was a lucky man!
 The train, after endless creaking and grooming, finally drew up re- luctantly at the long concrete plat form. Michael was the first one to leap off when the door swung open. Up the ramp he strode, hatless and handsome in his worn tweeds. Several home-going commuters, weary after hot day on baking streets, turned enviously to watch him. There was something almost winged about his walk.
 He felt in his pocket for his wall let, and with muttered exclama- tion of impatience remembered that he had thrust it into a drawer just after returning home from the momentous journey with Kath- arine. Their marriage certificate was in it and most of his money. But he had some loose change and a dollar or two in his trousers pocket, so he could take a taxi.
 Rain had just, descended upon the city. Pavements which had burned all day under the sun were now slick with rushing currents. Brakes squealed as drivers drew up at red lights.
 Michael sank back in the leather cushioned seat. trying to relax, to compose his thoughts for the in- terview to come. Downrigg would understand Michael's distaste for publicity. The lawyer was a Brit isher and they were like that |. The taxi driver, sullen-looking fellow with a cap pulled low over his eyes. jammed on his brakes with fearful, soul-curdling shriek. There was a dull impact. crash of glass. Michael felt a blow descend ing, just before inconsistencies mercifully plotted out the pain.
 He was not aware of the gather ing crowd, the ambulance that presently came changing along. A personable young man in worn tweeds. he lay there crumpled, hat les. a bruise on his forehead.
 Looks like concussion." the ambulance doctor said. He was a spry. fair youngster with bright blue eyes. "Any papers on him driving license or anything?"
 This was in the emergency room of the hospital to which Michael had been taken. The crisp nurse shook her head. Not a thing, doctor. About two dollars. And yes--something else. A plain gold wedding ring. with no initials or anything in 1t. Too small for him, though. A woman's ring"
 The young interne whistled softly. He was young enough and new enough at his job to be inter- ested and to be a bit romantic.
 "Wedding ring. hey? Looks like some gal gave him the air"
 Michael did not hear or see the people bending over him. He wan- dered in the borderland; in his dream Katharine's face was smil- ing at him.

5.s5S k I'll sssSsss &

For parents to become inucur- able critics of,their childern is the easiest thing, yet every child has some good in him, and most of them have far more than we give them credit for.
 A lady's letter says that her Mary is just no good at all. Mary is lazy, won't mind the baby right, is careless about herself, dries the dishes only half, and wants to be out playing all the time,
 I wonder what "all the time" means. If she still is in school, there can't be a whole lot of time left for the little girl to gad. She is 12 years old.
 However, it isn't about Mary and her shortcomings I am talk ing particularly just now, but rather that out of every dozen letters I receive there are never more than two or three that mention the bright side. Johnny is disobedient; Louise is a tom- boy; Arthur is a coward. And the complaints usually drag trail- CTS that leave me with the inn pression these youngsters have no good qualities at all.
 More Criticism Than Praise
 know their parents do not feel that way altogether about these delinquents and are only putting their worries on paper, said, that many a child gets more yet it confirms what have always criticism in a day than praise. They live in. an atmosphere of nagging, scoldings and reminders without much encouragement to break the monotony.
 Such method rarely gets the best results. It is better to get at the root of trouble and go about correcting 1t in some constructive manner. A man working in an if his boss is an "incurable critic" office knows he cannot be his best and never gives him credit for anything he does right. Wives get equally discouraged if their husbands arc forever fault finding and refuse to concede that they have at ieast tried. Once an adult or a child gets the s'oh, what -use' feeling, not only interest but willingness to work

Mothers Start "Camp Stay-At-Home' For Children Who Can't Go Away

.
 Mothers whose children will not be able to go away to camp this year need not look forward with dread to summer of distraction trying to entertain bored youngsters if they follow the clever idea of three mothers who started Camp Stay-At- -Home". It has been such a success, reports Katherine March in McCall's Magazine for July, that it has doubled in size in three years:
 "A camp it is, although the children in the group eat and sleep in their own homes, and are super vised at their activities by their own mothers. It all came about be- cause a small group of mothers had refused to be discouraged when they could not affort to send their children to camp. There were three mothers with six assorted children when they began three years ago. There are twice as many mothers now, and the bakers doz- en of children who open Camp Stay-At-Home" the day school closes.
 "One of the basic advantages of a camp, the founders decided, was the way it taught children to take care of themselves and their pos- sessions; to share Housekeeping duties gladly with bunkmates, and to do chores for the community good. So they began by putting a premium on these things. In every home there was rising bell, breakfast and then a busy hour before inspection. Room, bed, clos ct, ears, fingernails and hair were looked over, and the days mark recorded by mother on a card tackled up just inside the room. Honors for high marks were awarded at Friday camp fire. The morning get-together took place on a back porch, in a barn or under an elm tree in someone's garden but 1t always included some sing. ing, inspection reports and a dis cussion of plans for the day.
 "The program was made oui first according to the activities that the individual mothers could direct-the mother who was tho best swimmer took the campers tC the lake, the mother whose hobby was modelling directed the crafts and the mother who thought shs knew nothing at all said she would take charge ow the nature walks and she learned along with the children. They agreed that eacf day should be we'll -balanced-s vigorous morning being followed by a quiet afternoon, and vice vehsa There were two activity periods ir the day and the mothers scheduled themselves to have charge of tht group for the one period time. They planned their homework so tha, each was entirely free to be camI mother on certain mornings ant afternoons. An amazing number of possi. bilities developed. One whole dal | each week was spent in hike tG some point of interest. Then ths midday meal was cooked out-of. doors, and cameras were used te record the trip. A big brother oi the group helped make a dark room, and the children had the fur of developing thir own pictures They made a nature garden in ths l woods, where wild flowers were ] transplanted; they learned to make f fires, clean their camping equip. ment and cook simple fare. They experimented with clay modelling free painting batik and wood carving.
