4 MORE ESCAPE
GA, Chain GANGS

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 6 d.N.S0.
Two wardens were in line for
dismissal today under Gov. E. D.
Rivers recently announced policy
as four more convicts were added
to the ever-swelling list of
fugitives, from Georgia chain
gangs.
Three of the convicts, all white,
cut their ShackleS with a hack
saw and fled from the wooden
barracks Of the Hall county gang.
The fourth, a Negro, sawed his
way out of the Bibb county stock
ade near Columbus.
The four additional escapes
Swelled to more than 100 the
number of fugitives who have fled
from Georgia chain gangs in the
past six weeks.
Under the announced policy Of
Governor Rivers, who charged the
escapes were reaching the proper
tons Of a public scandal" the
two wardenS would be automatic
ally dismissed.
Meanwhile, it was reported that
Charles Bryant, one Of five con-
victs who fled from a Banks
county gang last Thursday, held
up Willie Green, filling station
operator, and made away with
gasoline and $40 in cash. It was
robbing of Green that originally
sent Bryant on the chain gang
to serve an 11-year sentence.

} ly private. Another point in favor
of this building is the location, in
"Old Georgetown" where, as you
know, apartments as well as
houses are always in demand.
UPPER STH ST. N. w.
(Unfurn. Apt.):
This neighborhood, where this
apartment building is located, is
one of the quiet residential Sec
lions, with schools and stores close
by. The building has several types
of vacancies, including one-room,
kitchen and bath at $40; and two
rooms, kitchen and bath at $3.50.
You will find these units bit
larger than the average and also
in splendid condition. On my in
spection trip I found a most con-
genial and pleasant atmosphere
prevailing and I feel confident it
will prove a splendid place to
make your home.
ROOM WITH PRIVATE BATH:
This room is in a new home just
recently built. When it was COM
pleted, the owner had a bit more
room than he needed, so he Is
going to rent the master bedroom
and bath. You will love the new
ness and all the conveniences .
and one could not help but be
happy and satisfied in such lovely
surroundings. The house is de.
tached, and is located in a highly
elevated section. You would be
sure of plenty Of breezes during
the hot days and you need have
no fear of winter time, for here in
this new home is the newest Of
heating plants. The express bus
to downtown passes within block
of this home. The rental is most
reasonable.

18TH & r SITS. N. w.:
With Labor Day here and milady
shopping for new clothes, it's a
pretty sure sign that Fall is just
around the corner; so if you intend
to have new living quarters this
winter you had better get in line
and get yours now. If you are
one who must live within walking
distance, try this apartment at
18th and r Streets. It is strictly
modern. The apartments are spa.
cious, well kept and also quite rea-
sonable. One I particularly like
has a porch, a living room, bed.
room with double exposure and a
nicely appointed bath, and the
rental is only $500. You have
all the conveniences right in the
building =. a drug store, splendid
restaurant. valet shop and beauty
parlor. From all three Standpoints
of location, comfort and conven-
fence, this building can't be beat.
APT. IN GEORGETOWN:
The garden, with its playing
fountain, its beautiful walks and
inviting benches, is just one Of the
reasons why you should see this
building. It is built on the Eng
lish idea of having a garden in the
center, and in this particular case
makes every room an outside one.
Individuality is seen in the ar
rangement of these units, and as
the building has just been recently
redone. every appointment is in
ShipShape. One unit that I am
particularly fond of is for the
larger family, having five large
rooms, two baths and a porch.
This apartment has three expos
ures and is so arranged as to make
living and sleeping quarters entire.

Parks to Observe
Constitution Birth

Q.N.S.) It's a long time until
June 81, 1888, but the National
Park Service already is planning
for that day, the 150th anniver-

United States. It was on June 81,
1888, that New Hampshire ratified
the Federal Constitution.
Arno B. Cammerer, director of
the National Park Service, has

USE OF FELONS.
FOR FARM WORK
FACES MD. QUIZ.
Warden Is Criticized
By Governor Nice

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 8,
Use Of State prisoners on Mary
land farms will be investigated
by the State board Of welfare.
Chairman Charles ]. Butler was
preparing today to call a meet
ing Of the board to go into the
circumstances surrounding loan
ing of convicts to Howard county
farmers in return for contribu'
tions of hay, corn and other farm
products to the Maryland house
Of correction at Jessups.
WARDEN CRITICIZED
Warden Walter e. Quenstedt
found himself the target for cr1tl-
cism from all directions today,
following the disclosure ne nao
countenanced the practice. He
said the custom dated back 10
years, and alleged farmers in
Howard county were unable TO
get labor for less than $3.50 a
day because of the WPA.
A former political rival OF Gov
ernor Nice, the warden found the
latter among his critics.
Regardless Of what the labor
situation in Howard county
might be-" Governor Nice said,
"the warden can't put convict
labor into competition with free
labor except by mandate OF the
legislature, and then only for
State institutions.
GOVERNOR OPPOSED
IT am opposed to such prac-
tice. Even If there were laws
which by inference would allow
it, I would not countenance 1t"
Since July Z some $40 prisoners
have worked 5,340 hours on eight
Howard county farms, cutting and
bailing hay and cutting corn. They
received nothing for this labor ex-
cept their prison allowance OF
from 10 to Is cents q day.
Warden QuenStadt said:
with the $50 tons Of hay We
get from our own fields it Is
more than enough for our
needs"
DONNELL AROUSED
Meanwhile, at Easton, Superin'
tendent Of Prisons Harold E. Don
nell declared he had expressly for.
biddent the use of prisoners on
any private project.
'The practice Of leasing
prison labor to private individ-
uaIs has been most objection
able and was thrown into the
discard by all intelligent prison
administrators many years ago."
Superintendent Donnell said. II

first took office"

WPA ESTIMATES
BILLION NEEDED
IN 193S-39 YEAR
Is 0ne-third Reduction
From Current Budget

| Q.N.SO Experts on Lne SCa11 OF
WPA Administrator Harry L. Hop
kins are aiming at a work-relief
appropriation request Of not more
than $1,O00,000,000 at the next
session Of Congress, reduction OF
one-third from the appropriation
made for the current year.
StatistitianS and research work
ers of the administrative staff al
ready are drawing up estimates OF
next years needs, and have
brought their comparisons forward
from the recovery expenditures
since 1888 showing the year-by-year
average of reductions, not so much
in money costs, but in the number
of persons provided with relief or
work-relief Jobs by the Federal
Government.
COSTS MUCH MORE
The monetary costs, they point
out, do not provide basis for a
true comparison, because the work
relief program costs much more
per person, or family unit, than
did the old direct relief system.
Under emergency relief, the
cease" or average per family cost,
when the relief load was at its
highest in January, 1885, was $38
a month. For that month Of Feb
ruary there were 20,676,773 per-
sons on the relief rolls. FERA ex.
penditures that month totaled
Size, 444,928. This m ca mt an
average of $3.50 per person, or $38
for the average family Of four
persons.
COSTS COMPARED
Direct relief was abandoned in
December, 1885, when the work
relief program was substituted.
February, 1896, proved the peak
month for the WPA work-relief
program, with 3,035, 1852 persons on
the rolls. The cost for that month
was $159, 1922 an average OF
$3.50 a worker.
On the WPA researchers eSt1-
mates that each worker repre-
sented a family Of four persons,
the average cost per person was
1912 for the month.
The rising cost of living, how
ever, has pushed the WPA per
person per month cost up to $72
Of Federal money. Thus, while
the monetary cost was reduced
from the last fiscal year to the
current year by only 80 per cent
from $2,238,50O,000 to $780,.
900, OO0-the number of workers
was reduced As per cent.
NO RISES FORESEEN
If a As per cent reduction were
achieved for the next fiscal year,
it would bring the average PWA
employment for the year beginning
next July to 827 500 persons. At
the present per man per year cost
of $800-and Government and
other economists foreSee no
further rises in the cost of living
an Appropriation Of only $780,
900 would be needed for the work
relief program.
The WPA experts, however, are
not that optimistic. They are baS-
ing their representations on 40
per cent reduction, which would
mean an average monthly work
relief roll of 100000 persons for the
next fiscal year. At $3.50 per man
per month, this would require an
appropriation for PWA of $780,
