PRISON ESCAPES
STILL DECREASING
Better Morale and Better
Food Contribute to Con-
tentment of Men
Daily Dispatch Dmrenu.
In The Sir Walter Hotel.
by j. a. IA


Raleigh, June 1.-THE number of
escapes from the State prison system
continues to remain small in spite of
the increase in the prison population,
and the fact that more prisoners are
being worked outside where there is
greater opportunity to escape, Oscar
T. Pitts acting director of the prison
division of the State Highway and
Public Works Commission, pointed
out today in making public the prison
department statistics for May. During
the month of May only 38 prisoners
escaped, while 81 escaped prisoners
were captured, while in May, 1885, 81
prisoners escaped, with 70 captures.
The prison population during May of
this year averaged 1913, while in May
a year ago it averaged about 1900 or
about 1000 less.
Pitts is more pleased with the rec
ord SO far in June than with the May
record, however, since there have been
only 13 escapes so far this month,
through today, as compared with IS
escapes through June II a year ago.
If the last two weeks of June are as
good as the first two have been, a new
low record for escapes will be set.
The present prison population is s.
TIC and during May, 1,544 new prison.
ers were received while 1871 prison
ers were discharged. A total of 10,347
prisoners were handled during May, of
which 1907 were white males 38 white
females, $685. Negro males and 1T
Negro females A total of 5O4 thirty
day prisoners were received and 524
thirty-day prisoners released during
the month
The two biggest factors in reduc-
in the number of escapes, according
to Pitts, are the better morale of the
prisoners, due to better food, more re-
creation and clean housing and the
better guarding of the prisoners.
When prisoners are well fed, well
treated and kept comfortable, even
though they must work hard, there is
not so much inclination to escape,
Pitts said. But if they attempt to es-
cape, they know the guards have in
structions to shoot, while the guards
know if they fail to stop an escape
they will ice out of jobs.

tuberculosis OF
Teachers Held AS
Menacing Problem

Raleigh, June 17.-Tuberculosis a.
mong teachers has been found more
menacing school health problem than
that of tuberculosis among school
children. The incidence of the disease
in teachers is not only greater than it
is in children, but the spread of the
infection from a tuberculos teacher
is much greater than it is from a tub
erculous child. These facts have been
verified by the findings of a number
of studies made recently in the inter-
est Of tuberculosis control, especially
in educational institutions.
According to DR.. H. D. Lees, writ
ing in the June issue of the Bulletin
of the National Tuberculosis Associa-
ton, the incidence of tuberculosis in
teachers, based on a study of 6,Oe6
teachers conducted in various parts
of the country, was found to be 2.15
per cent, or one case in forty-six TAX
ing this rate for the entire country,
DR.. Lees estimates that there are ap-
proximately 1879 tuberculosis school
teachers in active service in the
schools of the country today. He fur
Their estimates that there are thous-
ands of school children being exposed
to the dangers of tuberculosis thro-
ugh these contracts.
The school health problem created
by this situation, ne says is one of
major significance demanding ap-
propriate action by public health and
school officials. The seriousness of
the situation lies in the fact that the
close and oft repeated contact be-
tween teachers and child affords am
pie opportunity for infection and re-
infection. This has been found to be
the case through further studies, one
of which found tuberculosis infection
two or three times more prevalent in
children thus exposed than in chill
dren having no sue hcontact. Anoth-
er study revealed the case of a pri-
mary teacher who had a case of ad-
vanced tuberculosis. A survey of all
the children of the school was made,
using the tuberculan test and chest
x-ray. In the primary grade taught
by tuberculosis teacher, 40 per cent
of the pupils reacted to tuberculin
while SO of the children in the third
grade gave positive reactions.
Legislation requiring teachers to
present evidence that they are free of
tuberculosis is on of the means sug-
gsted for dealing with tn problem
created by tuberculous teachers.
North Carolina has such a law on it's
books, but in the light of the above
findings~ a check on this protective
health measure in every school might
not be amiss. A course in health edu-
cation for every person in training
to become a teacher is another means
advocated to keep down tuberculosis
in schools

interests iby taking advantage of the
latters' missionary work to put the
governor into office as radical when
the fasteners thought they were get
ting a conservative.
THEN COURT DECISION
At this juncture the Federal SUI
preme Court rendered it's highly I'M
popular decision multiplying New
York's minimum wage law.
Thereupon Landon's western ad-
visers deemed it desirable to place
him in the position of advocating a
constitutional amendment curtailing
the Supreme Courts powers.
Originally the eastern conservative
Republicans had expected the Demo-
Gratis to campaign for a Supreme
Court amendment, with the G. o. p
opposing it. The New York wage law
decision turned the whole situation
topsy-turvy. Landon beat President
Roosevelt to an attitude of favoring
modification of the Supreme Courts

MRS. AUSTIN TALKS
OF Fairgrounds
Registrations Held Today
and Children May Yet
Put Names In

Mrs. f.. r. Austin, county superin-
tendent of welfare, had the following
statement today concerning the regis
trations for the summer recreational
program:
Today has been registration dav
and the day for the opening of the
summer recreational program for
Henderson Township. This is an op-
portunity for all children of school
age to spend few hours each day
IN play under the guidance of capable
supervisors. The welfare departemnt
wishes to endorse heartily the plans
or this program, and urges the COOP
Grafton of parents in seeing that their
children take advantage of this op-
portunity. Registration has gone for
ward today, but their may be some
children who have not had a chance
to complete registration. In case this
is true those who have not register
ed will be given a chance to do so
at the opening of classes on Monday.
June 22nd.
The success of the program can
not depend entirely on the efforts of
the organization sponsoring such a
project but depends equally on those
taking advantage of what is offered.
The Welfare Department feels this is
the beginning Of a recerational pro-
gram of a more permanent nature
and the success of permanent play
ground movement will depend largely
on this summers effort.
LET us all make this program our
program and put it over in a big
way"

was reported today by DIR. z. r.

county. The victim was IL
months-Old cclOred girl, daughter
of Ed Vaughan, in the Watkins
township community.
The doctor said this was not to
be taken as an indication of Il
prospective epidemic, such as
secured the county last summer.
He said sporadic cases developed i'm
sections nearly every year, and this
was not unusual. But the diagnosis
CT the fatal malady was positive
and certain in this case, he stated.

pieces, while other portions are being
retreated. Baise said. But the reason
for this in many cases is that these
sections have to be recOnditioned,
which means they be dug up and have
more and sand mixed with the STAY
in order to obtain sub-grade that
will stand up, before they can be sur
face-treated.
Accordingly, where the sub-grade
is in good shape, we are going ahead
with the surface treatment work as
rapidly as possible" Baise said. But
where they subgrade is in bad con-
dition, we are having to wait until the
base is reconditioned before we can
put down the surfacing."
