guarding, while we will also estab-
llsh several maximum security camps
with more than the usual number of
guards, to which the tough eggs in
the prison system will be sent and
in which the most rigid prison disci-
pline will be maintained.
"The main idea back of this classi-
fication of prisoners is, of course, to
keep the younger and more inexper-
fenced prisoners entirely away from
the older, experienced and so-called
professional criminals, so as to give
those prisoners who want to reform
and make good a chance to do so.
Under the old system, where the
younger prisoners were mixed up
with the older ones and where there
was little or no segregation, there
was virtually no chance and no incen-
tive for any reform The result was
that by the time the younger first
termers completed their sentences
they emerged from prison as we'll
rounded criminals and much more
dangerous to society than if they had
not been sent to prison at all. We are
hoping that by classifying and seq
regating the prisoners under this
new system that many can really be
reformed and be returned to society
as useful citizens.

New York, July 28.-It saddens me
to hear this thing about Eleanor Holm
Jarrett, the twice-anointed OLYMPIC
swimming star. That she should break
training rules and sip potions for
bidden to athletes in so fragrant a
fashion that the Olympians should
have to cashier her is almost mere
dible.
1 knew Eleanor in Miami during a
brief respite a year or so ago and she
struck me as young woman who
liked to dance and put on a paper hat
on New Years Eve but she was GER
tainly on the whole Well-behaved in
telligent and discreet. l distinctly re-
call an occasion when she declined.
with wave of the hand and a fet-
ching smile, a glass of bubbly stuff
But it was clear all along that
Eleanor had a difficult and troublous
passage ahead, with whole flOcks Of
ScyllaS and Charybodises thanking her
course. In the first place. she was too
good swimmer; she broke records
and outdistanced competitors in the
water without even bothering to stay
in sight of the field This begot hard
oCdA 1AOlAl IIIC OIuCI 11lOIlI1dlUS, VINO
mayhap had seen Eleanor installed at
a table in the Miami Biltmore dining
room the night before prepared to
wait for Home Sweet Home" while
they, ever-mindful of training rules,
were shuffling off to bed at 10 p. m.
1t is bad enough to be best in a
highly competitive activity; but to be
best without apparent effort, and with
a gay scorn for the copybook maxims
is well-nigh unforgivable. If it is a
case Of being best without seeming to
try and in addition being the best
looking, there is little hope of hap
piness in this world.
Eleanor certainly was, and for all
I know, still is the best-looking lady
athlete ever heard of. The gals who
specialize in Drawn are apt to be on
the grim side. They run to jaw and
sturdy beam and frequently the Pro-
violence which is good to the Ibiceps
grows absent-minded about the face
But Eleanor had everything
both Hollywood and the Broadway
merchants of Venus were forever
camping on her doorsteps with con-
tracts to sign. Then when she COM
menced to build up some reputation
as a singer of torch songs with her
husbands band it was too much.
The regrettable episode which
evokes this piece occurred far across
the sea and 1 am unfamiliar with the
whole background. Surely the Olympic
officials acted as they did for the best
interests of the team and American
craftsmanship abroad. But I can't
help thinking that Eleanor was pen
allied less for her talent for whoopee
than for her failure to realize that a
lot of girls work hard, keep all the
training rules, never get tapped by
Carroll or Metro, and still lose races.

July %, 1793-The first national
old age pension was adopted, in the
French National Convention, 100
years before such doles were estab-
lished in Germasy, and 40 years be-
fore Townsend proposed his plan.
A decree of the Convention, the re-
volutionary organization which had
deposed monarchy, set up a system
of relief for children, old persons and
the INDECENT. 1t bestowed a half
pension at go, rose to two-thirds at
IS, and reached the maxim at 70. This
maximum was the equivalent of
about $120 a year today. The pen
sion was limited to persons who were
no longer able to earn their support

A. S. Brewer said today. This coal will
cost the state School Commission
about 100000 unless this next winter
is unusually cold and more than the
usual amount of coal is needed, Brow
or said.
The coal purchased for the schools
this year is not costing quite as much
as last year, but almost as much,
Brewer said. The average price is
about 1928 a ton, including freight
and cost of delivery, although the av-
erage cost of the coal at the mines is
only ABOUT $1,75 ton. The cost of
hauling the coal from the nearest rail
point to the schools is approximately
SO cents a ton.
''lhe freight on the coal into some
of the western counties which are
near to the Virginia, West Virginia
and Kentucky coal fields, is only
about So ton, although the freight
on coal into many of the eastern coun-
tics is as much as $40 ton and in
some cases even more" Brewer said.
$50 on the whole, the average freight
on the coal is about So ton"
Virtually all of the coal as the
schools have storage room for will be
delivered before the schools open this
fall, Brewer said.

graduate of the University of Ala
Virginia, where he did graduate work
in criminology and psychology and is
regarded as one of the outstanding
authorities on modern prison psy-
chology. Brown will probably be Civ
en- the title of director of classified
ton for the State Prison system,
Pitts said.
For the time being, Mr.. Brown is
making a survey %.of all the prison
camps, with a view to segregating
the camps and designating certain
camps for certain types of prisoners,
Pitts said. AS soon as this survey
is completed a board of classifica-
ton will be set up consisting of exc
cutive officers of the prison system,
to assist Brown in his task of CLASH
tying all the prisoners convicted of
felonies. Later on it is planned to
extend this classification of prison
ers to misdemeanants with sentenc-
es of a year or more, in addition to
felOnies, Pitts said.
according to our present plans,
the Central Prison here will con-
tinue to be the clearing house for
all felons, also a quarantine station
where all prisoners convicted of fell
onies will be sent for examination
and study for several weeks before
being sent out to any of the prison
camps" Fits said. while at Cen
trail Prison. each prisoner will be in
terviewed and studied by Mr. Brown
and by all the other members of the
Classification Board. This board
will be composed of Mr. Brown. l..
G. Whitley, disciplinarian of the pri-
son system, Warden H. H. Honey
cult or Deputy Warden J. Winder
Bryan, the Medical Director, DR.. G..
). Coleman, representative of the
commissioner of Paroles office and
probably one or two other officials
OF the prison division. After all the
members of the board have talked to
a new prisoner, the members will
meet and compare notes and then
decide on the classification to be
given the prisoner, likewise what type
OF work he will be assigned and the
prison camp he will be sent to.
III the prisoner is young and a
first offender, he will probably be
sent to the Cary Farm prison camp,
which we expect to make the prison
camp for young first offenders, ard
where the prisoners do all the work
on the farm. If the prisoner is
hardened criminal, with a long pr.-
son record, he will probably be sent
to the Caledonia Prison Farm in
halifax county, which we have been
using for number of years for the
tough guys in the prison system.
But If the prisoner is too old to
be sent to the Cary Farm but seems
to have the right kind of attitude
and desire to make good, he will be
sent to an intermediate prison camp
and be given a chance to show us
just what sort of a fellow he is. We
Will probably establish several hon
or camps for A Grade prisoners that
have demonstrated that they can be
handled with a minimum amount of

FAvORs CITY OWNING PARK.

FAVORS CITY OWNING PARK.
TO the Editor:
Some of the members of the Kings
daughters appeared before the City
Council last evening and offered to
give to the City of Henderson the
lovely park site which they have
struggled so long to pay for, beautify,
and equip for the use of all of the
citizens of Henderson. The only
strings" to the proposition are that
the city assume the remaining indebt-
edness of $780, and that the park be
used for the pleasure of the white peo-
pie of Henderson.
The Kings Daughters organization
has already spent over $4,000 on the
park and the remaining comparatively
small Indebtedness may be paid over
a period of as much as ten years.
l am not member of the Kings
Daughters organization, but / went
with them to the meeting of the City
Council because am in favor of the
city accepting this gift with thanks,
since l realize so we'll the need of
city park and know that this is the
most suitable site available.
l am q mother with three children
who have particularly enjoyed the use
of this park for number of years as
they have never had the use of
large lawn on which to play, and they
could continue to enjoy the park if
it could be better equipped with the
building of tennis courts, larger
pool, etc.
l am also superintendent of a Sun
day school department and / hardly
know where we could have our little
picnics and outdoor parties if it were
not for the Kings Daughters Park.
We have been grateful for this pri-
vilege over period of years.
Now 1 understand that there is
some danger of this park being lost
to the use of the citizens of Hender-
The members of the Kings Daughters
organization here have become so few
that they cannot raise the necessary
funds to pay the interest and debt on
the park. 1t seems to me that this
would be a real calamity. No doubt,
there are others in town who feel the
same way.
The City Council appointed a COM
mittee of Mr. T. w. Ellis, Mr.. D. G.
Loughlin, and Mr.. Fred Hayes to con-
slider this matter and make recon-
wish that the citizens of Henderson
would tell these gentlemen right away
their wishes concerning this matter.
