BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
|. BY RODNEY BUTCHER.

V1ASHINGTON.-This country
w is going to have TO produce.
more big-time public enemies
among the women If Bureau Of
Prisons Director Jim Bennett is
to get that new federal peniten-
tiary for women which he has
urged Congress to provide.
Bennett and Attorney General
Cummings asked for funds to start
three new prisons, one of them
to be another Alcatraz" for hard
boiled women convicts. They COM
planned that the federal women's
reformatory was neither big
enough to hold all their women
prisoners nor strong enough to
keep gentleman friends from
busting in and rescuing some of
the inmates. Furthermore. they
said, there was need OF a place
where all the tough ones could
be segregated.
But checkup shows that
American womanhood has pro-
duced almost no public enemies
Of note and that among the small
handful who have had their pho
tographs in other than hometown
papers, each lady has achieved
fame in crime only through asso-
citation with a more celebrated
husband OF boy friend.
In numbers, federal female pris-
onerS trail far behind-only 1888
of them were among 22,896 per-
sons admitted to federal prisons
last year.
Kathryn Kelly, wife of Ma
chine Gun Kelly, and according
to some theories the brains of the
urschel kidnapping gang, unques-
tionably is the star boarder among
Benefits lambs. But Kathryn
comes far from being a feminine
Al Capone, even though she is a
permanent guest.
There's also Dolores Delaney.

moments Alvin Karpis may have
had. And Sylvia Sieber Bird,
serving a long term because she
and her sister Barbara-Who is
still out-helped spring the bank
robbing Birds from the Cleveland
Jail last year.
But that's about the list and the
only other lady celebrity whom
Bennett has to keep indoors is
Nine. Mae Scheible of New York.
who used to operate certain houses
of unquestionable character.
Evelyn Frechette, who spent a
couple of years as a federal pris-
oner because of the aid and COM
fort she gave her bad boy friend
John Dillinger, emerged to join
a travelling show and now travels
around the country telling small
crowds all about the late John and
how crime doesn't pay.
So the hard-boiled House APP
preparations Committee looked
the situation over and decided
that Mr.. Bennett, for the time be-
ing, could have only one new
Sl,350,000 prison, not three. That
probably will have to be used for
men, although the women prob
ably will get theirs sooner or later
because hundreds of them are
now farmed out to state institu-
tons.
Federal prisons never do get
the real fancy murdereSSes, even
when they're convicted. Federal
crimes for which women are most
often convicted are, in order of
frequency, violations of the mar
cotics act, bootlegging, violation Of
the immigration act, counterfeit
ing and forgery. In most cases
the women are only accomplices
or accessories after the fact, often
harboring or aiding some man
who's the cause of it all.

"Well, lrk," said as We walked
home, cts not what you used to

gratefully and wagged his tail as

But that knew his secret made
no difference to Irk's subsequent
conduct. He continued to be the

If grown dog can reform him

LIES UNCERTAINTIES:

wonder how many thousands OF
people reflected upon the "uncer-
tainties of life" yesterday when
they read how Hearst was curb
ing his activities and distributing
his business cares because he was
CONSCIOUS Of the uncertainties OF
life" with a man Of his age.
| was talking with a farmer
yesterday who murmured that ne
was getting too old to follow the
strenuous life he had observed on
the farm, where he has employed
help to assist him.
He was hauling lime-sulphur
with which he expected to spray
his orchard. He has an orchard
that is profitable even with a
moderate crop Of apples. A large
family has weaned itself, each out
on his or her own scratching for
self with only father and mother
at home. He told of a cash offer
recently made for his farm. My
advice to him was to "cash in" on
some good offer, settle on an
acre or so near town, sit cross
legged on the street benches and
see the world go by.
The uncertainties of life"
curb the average persons outlook,
planning and activity. They cause
him to look backward rather than
forward.

Election upon the Japonica in
overlooking the part it plays, in

early in spring. 1t is amply able
to make its own reflection.
SPRAY SEASON: In the fruit
growing sections of Western
Carolina during the past week
the chug, chug of motor driven
machines are heard in the apple
orchards, where the delayed dor
mant spray of liquid lime sulphur
and sometimes oil, is being APP
piled by all progressive apple
growers. This spray is to control
scab, mites, aphids, scale insects
and other pests. It's application
because of injury to skin and
eyes, and its odor, is the meanest
job Of apple growing.
