Swiss Dogs to Guard
Federal Prisoners

Employment Of dogs as guards
in Federal prisons will be insti-
tuted during the coming year, it
Was disclosed today in hearings
on the Justice Department appro-
priation bill.
Sanford Bates, director of the
Bureau of Prisons, announced
that six Swiss dogs, trained in
the art of guarding institutions
and private homes, already had
been purchased by the Govern
ment and used at the South
western Reformatory at El Reno,
Okla.
The dogs are bred and trained
in Switzerland and are not ex-
ported to the United States until
they reach the age Of two years.
Mr.. Bates said the dogs already
had been instrumental in appre-

enough to the moving ones.
Timid operators should be re.
quired to keep moving, and to
stay in the proper zones when
making turns. It is no unusual
sight to see a policeman watch
ing a driver making a left turn
from an extreme righthand
lane, interrupting two lines Of
traffic while so doing. Appar.
emily the risk of broken tenders
and bumpers means nothing so
far as the police are concerned,
but just let that motorist park
his car before $50 and see what
happens.
In fact, the greater part of
the morning congestion is due
to the parking ban. Cars must
keep cruising while both motor
cars and street cars line up all
the way across an intersection
for several light changes, ap-
parently needless of the chang.
ing lights.
Let's get the street car com.
pany to smooth out its tracks at
intersections 50 that motorists
will not break their springs ne.
gotiating crossing-and when
the tracks are leveled, let's make
the drivers step on the gas when
they get the light and get out
of the other fellows way.
Let's get motorists, particu-
larly taxicab drivers, educated
into the proper manner of max.
ing turns, with particular refer.
ence to left turns. Let's allow
the citizen the right to park his
machine when he comes to work
and get it out of the traffic
lanes.
If we do these things our traf-
fic problem will be less involved,
and human life will be no more
endangered than it now is.

Senses That Per Cents
Should Be Cents

To the Editor of The Times:
AS a reader of your paper, not
one day but every day, I feel
I have the right to ask who
issues the statements that the
cost of food in D. c. has gone
up LOT per cent or 2 per cent
or any such figures as that?
First, meats that sold two
years ago for IL cents a pound
today are 20 cents to Is cents
per pound
Lard that was 4 cents or two
pounds for 8 cents today is 16
cents to 18 cents per pound.
When a can of beans at 4
cents goes to 5 cents, what per
cent is that?
Name one food that has gone
up / per cent.
think the man who puts
this stuff in the paper of the
per cent of food has his per
cents mixed with his cents.
When he prints 2 per cent he
means 2 cents on a dime. He
has his mind on the silver
standard.

Judge Bentley Upheld
In Case of TOo Boys
To the Editor of The Times

TO the Editor of The Times:
It was curious to note the
furor that has been created by
Judge Bentley's decision in the
case Of the two young boys who
were brought before her on the
charges of having taken a car
belonging to another, without
permission, in sentencing them
to a training school for what
apparently was an indisput-
able miSdemeanor.
AS l recollect from news
paper accounts, one Of these
boys has been found guilty or
was under suspicion for hav-
ing procured car in this ter.
ritory under the same seasons,
that of enjoying a ride, and if
this is correct, it is hard to
understand where Judge Bent
ley's decision on this matter
can be deemed unjustit1able.
Rather, if such Isl the case,
Judge Bentley should be justi'
fled in having sentenced them
to training school, and up
held.
But, as these solicitous par
ents asserted, the influence Of
q training school where crimi'
nails of a minor class are con-
gregated would tend improperly
to influence their boys charac"
ters, with the result that they
were released, free to steal other
peoples property and harbor
the impression that should they
be caught again, the horrible
influence of a training school
would protect them from enter
ing it's gruesome portals.
May ask in all honesty, do
mothers of such children expect
that they are to be received
with brass bands and molly.
coddled? If such punishment is
meted out its boys and girls
who go about stealing other
peoples cars, for the purpose
of enjoying a ride, subjecting
them to damage and causing
unnecessary worry to their own.
erS, then I understand quite
clearly why crime is preferable.

Police. Raped for War
On Parking Offenses

To the Editor of The Times:
I am one of that number Of
automobile drivers who make the
daily run into Washington from
a nearby community. I have
had experience in traffic mat
ters and have driven automo-
biles in most of the large cities
of the country, so I feel quail
fled to comment on local con-
ditions.
During all the time I have
driven motor cars, I have never
had even a slight accident, al
though at times I have been
accused by my passengers of
driving rather fast. Speed is,
not the hazard of motor traffic
as much as recklessness or
timidity.

Sixteen per cent OF the loans made

program for handling a rising tide Of

Friedlander said. During the rest of
the Spring and Summer and early
Fall the associations will be pushing
forward with their aggressive lending
programs, seeking out the loan de-
mand which does not appear on the
surface and getting some practical
ideas about the nature and extent Of
the residential building which may be
expected during the next two or three
years. Against this background Of
early recovery operations, the build
ing and loan institutions will be ready
to settle down into more unified plans
for 1896 mortgage lending.
BY that time the results Of shout
to-be-eriacted amendments to the
Federal Home Loan Bank act, the
National Housing act and the Home
Owners Loan act will be tested by
experience, Mr.. Friedlander points out,
and the associations will have better
idea Of the influence which the various
Government agencies will have on

the carnage of wrecks and broken
bodies is strewn more than ever over
the face of our country.
A great deal has been said about
the necessity of courtesy in driving
as an accident preventive measure.
Driving at speeds reasonable for con-
ditions, sharing the road, passing
properly, using correct hand signals,
avoiding all those actions which make
driving dangerous and uncomfortable
for the other fellow, are the dictates
of courtesy and manners. So too, are
they dictates of the principle of the
good neighbor. Good driving, with a
real desire to safeguard the lives of
those exposed to the consequences Of
that driving, is practical Christianity.
1t is a kind of practical Christianity
that followers of all creeds can sub
scribe to as they join in the common
rejoicing at this Christmas season.
The first concern of the churches of
America is the saving of souls. By
entering with whole-hearted activity
into the automobile safety movement,
they can extend their activity to the

II Live My Life"
I Years Distinguished Hit;
Joan Crawford Is Superb

Starring Joan Crawford and direct
ed by W. S. Van Dyke-this combina-
ton is enough to make any picture a
success. In The case of II Live My
Life" the new -GoIuwyn- Mayer
production at the Milo Theatre, Dec.
12 and IS, the combination coupled
with powerful story, is made an
outstanding production.
Different from any of the glamor-
GUS stars previous pictures, it casts
her as a spoiled debutante whose love
for a penniless archeologist redeems
her.
AS the archeologist, Brian Aherne
brings his finest performance to the
screen, making the character a warm,
charming and humorous digger of
statues.
Van Dykes inspired direction is
apparent in every scene of the new
production. The swiftness, easy
comedy and dramatic punch which he
instills into his sequences are becom-
ing personal trademark.
Joan Crawford has never appeared
more glamorous nor been more beau
tifully photographed. Her delineation
of the gay, careless, heart-free char
acter is the work of fine actress.
Equally stimulating is the support
ing cast. Frank Morgan is up to his
old humorous tricks as the bumbling
soft-hearted father. Aline Mcmahon
brings dignity to her role of woman
sadly in love.
Fred Heating is excellent as the
handsome CLOTHES horse" Eric Blore
and Arthur Preacher are two buffers
you'll never forget. Nor will you for.
get Jessie Ralph as the irascible ole
grandmother.
This is a Bernard Hyman produc.
ton, with gowns by Adrian, photo
graphy by George Folsey, and screer
play by Gottfried Reinhardt and Ethe
Borden.

saving of lives, without violating
their first purpose. The blot upon a
soul as result of killing or manning
another through careless or needless
action, is one not easily erased. The
churches have the advantage of being
able to appeal to great section of
the drivers of the country on occas-
ions when they are most receptive to
the idea of good will as a driving
maxim. The good neighbor on the road
could well serve as theme for SER
mon in every church at this time of
the year.
So long as selfishness and stupid
irecklessness, so long as death and de-
lstruction exist on our streets and
highways, the ideal of peace on earth,
good will toward men, will command
little more than lip service.
