disappointment cannot embit-

to overcome them must fight,
and fighting develops character
and real understanding.
Il know these things have
often been written before, but
when one discovers them for

Prison Superintendent

PRISON superintendent
YNHE decision of Capt. NJ. NJ Barnard to retire from
1 his post as general superintendent of penal instu
tions of the District brings TO head once again the
problem of selecting successor.
Previously when it was believed that Captain Bar
nard would retire the struggle for his position became
so intense that it found necessary to prevail on him
to retain the post until the situation could quiet down.
The lob of experimenting the citys penal institutions
is always important one.
But it is particularly important and difficult at the
present time because of conditions which exist and which
have been caused primarily by shortage Of appropria
tons and the confinement of dangerous long prs
oners in institutions which were designed ideal wall
less prisons
Conditions at Lorton Refomatory have often been
referred to as ''powder keg,' it being pointed out
that MANY dangerous prisoners were confined there
without proper restraints and with inadequate guard
force.
The Jail. as everyone knows by this time, is
crowded and outmoded.
The Board of Public Welfare and the District Com
missoners face the necessity of finding successor to
Captan Barnard who can WELD the necessary control
over these agencies and at the time develop them
to their full usefulness recaimers of those who can
be rehabilitated.
At first it would to be very difficult assign
ment.
BUT, IF THESE INSTITUTIONS HAVE BEEN
PROPERLY CONDUCTED IN THE PAST, THERE IS
NO REASON WHY CAPTAIN BARNARD'S Sue
CEssoR SHOULD NOT BE FOUND PROMPTLY
In any bureau of the Government extensive as the
penal institutions those in charge should be constantly
training their subordinates to take the higher
positions
There should be- and believe that there are, men
now engaged prison work in the Districts institutions
perfectly capable of following Captain Barnard and
giving the city good and efficient administration OF
penal institutions.
There is no reason in the world why those charged
with making the appointment should think of going
outside of the District to find superintendent even if
they should believe that the present prison regime does
not contain the right man for the job.
THIS APPOINTMENT SHOULD CERTAINLY BE
KEPT AT HOME.
AND IF AT ALL POSSIBLE IT SHOULD BE
GIVEN TO A MAN NOW IN THE SERVICE

WASHINGTON, July 19.-(U'H)-
Now you can take your vitamlns

You don't need to eat the food

which is good news to those who

Hollywood, July 19.-lU.P)-Fun
on Monday:
For a long time l have wanted
to discuss a certain nefariouS in
stitution known as Monday.
I'm thoroughly against Monday
and I think something should be
done about it. Every Monday at
9 a. m. little Helen pops over to
RKO studio to try to be funny
for another week. B" 10 a. m. I'm
supposed to have everyone in
stitches. This is supposed to 60
on. with Victor Moore's help, un-
til on Saturday everybody says
they can't stand any more.
So on Sunday I rest.
Just bought a new house. It's
nice CHEEKY country house.
There's room for a nice flower
garden. Gardening is my hobby.
So l figure on Sunday fo- a little
gardening.
Sunday daWns. There had to b"
first Sunday in the new house.
The birds were singing inSiStentiy.
I suppose they figure that since
they can't sleep, nobody else IS
going to.
1 scampcrcd from my warm bed
into the garden, which i5n't q gar-
den yet, and started pulling WEEDS
and wondering about black cloud
which is obsCuing NOS. of the
sky of sunny California.
I had a hunch and my hunch
was right. Soon it was raining.
But it was about tine to expect
breakfast anyway. You know. a
nice coy Sunday breakfast in a
nice warm breakfast nook.
I had turned on the heat before
1 went out. A push Of the button
does j.. Or does it? Anyway. the
house was nice and cold. 1t seems
that the boys from the gas house
slipped up on the job. Apparently
they expected to, because they've
left a little sign telling me how
to reach them in case anything
goes wrong. The buns.
So 1 went to the telephone and
but of course. the telephone was
not yet connected.
There was nothing left to do
but build fire in the fireplace.
CNoth'ng is more ducky than
gathering wood in a nice, muddy
yard where the landscaping has
not been startcdD And though I've
been a good fire builder in my
day, couldn't make fire burn
with wet wood.
All, yes! Breakfast. Everything
in the Kitchen was in its place
except the maid. I recall that she
has every other Sunday of and
this was one of the every others.
And the cupboard was bare.
1 managed to get to the village
grocery and it was open. Then l
found that I've forgotten my
purse.
you remember me-" l told the
grocer. I'm a movie comedienne.
Please charge it."
Listen" he said, there's a lot
of people around here who think
they're funny. They haven't paid
their bills. Make me laugh and
I'll give you the store. I've been
sad since 1929"
I finally had to give the guy
my watch so 1 could get home
with the breakfast. Home-Where
life was beginning at 40 below.
After getting the pilot light on
the range to work--it was out like
the furnace, the maid, the tele-

And what a meal! 1 couldn't
