Until this year. it was POSSIBLE 10
ship these supplies TO other states,
but due TO recent legislation, out
lets in "a states have been cancelled,
and most of the products manufac-
tured in the state penal institutions
now find their way TO institutions
in Indiana.
An exhibit of articles made by
prisoners in Indiana has been dis
played this week on the mezzaniue
floor of the Claypool, in coniunc-
ton with the Indiana State Con-
ference on Social Work. ANY wom-
an who CHANGED to look it over
without realizing what is represent
ed might think she had wandered
into the houSefurnishings depart
ment of one of the Indianapolis
stores.
Wide Variety Of Articles
Practically all the articles were
the same items the housewife lots
on her shopping list at house clean
ing time.
There were mops. brooms and
brushes; bright-colored rigs: shiny
shellaced reed market baskets,
clothes hampers and flower baskets.
In another group were iron skillets.
Dutch ovens and chicken fryers.
made in the Pendleton reformatory
foundry.
AT one side of the exhibit were
books bound at the Indiana State
Prison. Deprived of driving auto
mobiles along Indiana highways
prisoners at Michigan City make all
license plates used on Indiana au-
tomobiles, and all road signs used
by cities and on state highways.
Instructor Directs Work
Each shop in these institutions
has an instructor. who acts in A.
capacity similar to a foreman in a
private industry. He teaches the
men, and regulates production. No
new industry has been started in
the penal institutions in the last
year and half. At that time. the
manufacture of blankets was added
at the reformatory, where mat
treSses, pillows, shirts, and trousers
are made.
The states Use" system, which
is used in Indiana in distribution of
prison-made articles calls for en-
ployment of all able bodied. physi-
cally fit, mentally competent in
mates of penal institutions. They
produce commodities and supplies
for the various units of the state
government. Surplus production is
marketed to supply needs of other
states.
This system was adopted rather
than having prisoners remain idle,
or work in competition with capital
and free labor
System Is Endorsed
1t has been Endorsed by practical
ly all leading national trade asso-
Citations, labor organizations, de-
partments of commerce and civic
societies. Approval of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs also
has been given.
Through this system, wards of
the state help support themselves,
instead of being dead weight bur-
den of taxation Through the CO.
operation of public officials in each
township and county of the state,
authorities estimate that hundreds
of thousands of dollars are saved
each year for the Indiana taxpayer.
From the viewpoint of the
criminal, it generally is a satisfac-
tory arrangement, prison authori-
ties say. The men usually prefer to
spend their time at work. since it
makes the time spent in prison pass
more quickly. In a few instances,
ex-convicts have found employment
in industries with which they have
become familiar in a penal
institution after release.

ST. LOUIS. April 12.-The will OF
the late Nathan Frank. millionaire
lawyer and former Representative,
was sustained late yesterday by Cir
cult Judge Robert Kirkwood, who gave
a Jury peremptory instructions for
verdict against Mark Frank. New
York, nephew who contested
the will.
Mark Frank had based his suit to
share in the one-tine $4,000,000
estate on contention his uncle was
Of unsound mind when the will was
drawn. Judge Kirkwood closed the
contest by holding thet Mark Frank
had failed to prove that allegation,
or other charges of undue influence
and hallucinations.
Franks will, as upheld by the court,
left the bulk of his estate to nephew,
Alfred Frank Of Oakland. Calf. and
to two nieces, Mrs. Brannette Krupp
OF E Paso, Tex, and Mrs. Grace
Greenhall, st. Louis. Mark Frank
was excluded.
In support of their allegation of
mental incompetency, attorneys for
Mark Frank had brought out much
evidence during the lengthy hearing
to show the bachelor lawyers associa-
tions with numerous women, includ-
ing Laura ingalls,, famous aviatrix,
during his late years.

BURLINGTON, VT, April IA
device which permits complete mastery
Of machine gun technique without
firing q single shot, with almost no
expense, has been invented by Capt.
Malcolm e. Craig of the University Of
Of Vermont.
The invention, flaSh-sound firing
device that projects a beam of light,
instead Of q bullet, has been presented
for consideration to the War Depart
ment.
The device, according to university
officials, has accomplished all that
could be achieved with the regular gun
with ammunition, in SO far as train
ing is concerned, and stimulates an
interest to men in perfecting their
technique by eliminating their ner-
vousness from actual firing.

payments on the principal and inter-
est must come out Of the national
income.
ut has been estimated that the
national income of the United States
in 1884 totaled approximately $5i,-
000, 900 900, while the gross Federal
debt in the middle of last year stood
at $27, ,326 900 900, with debt charges
Of $1,100,000.000.
Thus, the Federal debt in 1884
was equivalent to about half the
national income, while the debt
charges required only about 2 per
cent of the national income"

Important problems of administration. pol
icy and procedure now engage the United
States Chamber of Commerce But nothing
could supersede in importance this task of
saving many billions of dollars and making
America safe for Citizens
1t has long been a tradition that the
American business man works so hard because
it is more of a game with him than merely
matter of profits. He wants to see the thing
succeed
Well, if he wants to get the super thrill.
the kick he can never forget, let him tackle
this problem of the proper guidance of Ameri-
can boyhood, 2O.OOO.OOO strong. Never again
will he be satisfied with merely looking at the
profit side of the ledger or inspecting new
buildings or equipment.
In like way the womens organizations have
as their members aggressive, capable women
in every walk of life. Through them great
national program could be carried through
with splendid success Here is more than task
to challenge their abilities and resources. 1t is
the opportunity for crusade that will re-
make America and placeit on the firm founda-
tions of obedience to law on which it was
founded.
They can render equal service with the
men not only in making decency pay but also
in making it attractive for the youth of today
A part of their labors might we'll be devoted
to destroying the halo of crime which today
attracts girls as well as boys.
Call it business proposition, sporting
matter - what you will. The main thing is
to get the job done, and for the leaders of
American life to get the right attitude toward
it: that reducing crime is the most profitable,
intelligent, patriotic thing they can undertake
at this hour
The first thing that is needed is a survey
of crime breeding centers and conditions. This
includes rural as we'll as city slums.
This is more matter of collation. than
investigation. Practically every city of size
in America has social service or welfare
agency which knows its own community like
householder knows his own dwelling.

Prosecutor of I'll Capone; Former Federal Judge
AS told to WILLIAM F. McDERMOTT

And the cost of rehabilitation would be far
less than months vacation" from crime,
which at the Sl2, ,OOO, 900, ,0O0-a-year minimum
set by recent president of the American Bar
Association would be a billion dollars.
The first step in the task is to get the right
attitude A newspaper columnist in my home
city recently gave vivid illustration of it.
He told of friend who owned factory
and farm He paid no attention to his en-
ployees, except to get the most work out of
them for the least money. But his farm was his
pride; here he developed pure-bred cattle and
hogs that made him famous.
If the man had cared as much for his work
ers as he had for his cattle, he might have
had some high grade results.
My contention is that by persistent and
intelligent effort we can take the drabness out
of life and the color out Of crime and reverse
them - making life so colorful and crime so
drab every normal person will want to 60
right.
And if the business men and women and
the scientists tackle it like they do business or
laboratory problems, they will solve it.
While the enlistment of all good citizens
is involved in this task, there are certain
agencies which can take the lead in doing the
job They are the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States of America, which has
100000 active members and represents mil
lions of business and professional men, all other
business organizations of men and women and
professional and club groups throughout the
country.
With an interlocking program, these vast
organizations, comprising an army of the best
brains, integrity, resowcefulness and idealism
ever produced, can achieve miracle in ma
tional character building, crime prevention
and economy.
The United States Chamber of Commerce
enlists the business men and industrial na4
mates of the United States 1t has thousands
of local associations through which to func-
tion. With all its resources of brains and
finance applied to this task, it could stagger
the forces of crime in year.
