to the tender mercies of Sheriff
Robert C. Ware.
No matter how many prisoners
there are. the Jail must hold them.
Juvenile tank. Womens department
and cell blocks for the men are full
and running over with prisoners
beonging to city, county, state and
federal governments. All but the
county must pay for the privilege
of packing them in.
The housing problem is soived by
the simple expedient of spreading
the prisoners out on the floor
night and letting them mill around
iii the cell blocks by day. Sleeping
arrangements for the overflow con-
siSt OF mattresses lined up on the
tlsor in every nook and Granny not
at the moment occupied by some
thing else Blankets complete the
bedding down process. The jailers
always hope there will be enough
to wrap them up as Snuggly as
bugs in rugs.
Sanitation under these overcroWd-
ed conditions is OF major import
ance. A constant and thorough
"debugging' with super-plus dis
infectants makes the place practi-
cally germ proof as well as highly
CdoriferouS.
While all the prisoners booked
there do not make long stays, the
incoming horde is always greater
than the outgoing.
The county plays hosts to the
prisoners at meal time with a menu
that elicts few complaints from
the star boarders. With a guest
list of 216 prisoners, the kitchen
gang prepered and served 487 meals
In one day. The workers on the
chain gang rate three meals daily
and the drones in the tanks but
two Plenty of beans, garlic, stew,
spaghetti bread, coffee and other
delicacies serve to KEEP body and
soul together
Chain gang prisoners do consid-
cradle work in the county. They
work under gang bosses on the
grounds at the Jail and court house,
at the county fair grounds, for the
agricultural department, as jani-
tors and in other places where
needed.

Their ghosts mingle with the spir-
its of many a doughty pioneer in

lonely road which winds through

But La Puerta de San Felipe is
only one of the many historic and

The stage station at Valecito, Bor-

palm, Coral mountain. Fish creek,
Pinon mountain, Oriflame noun
tain, are also included in the park
In that list of interest points, the
traveller can find every type of
desert country that can be seen
in any part of the world, and each
corner of the desert is made more
interesting by a touch of historical
background.
The newly created domain starts
near Coyote mountain and extends
south and west to Boulder park.
North of Coyote Wells the park
extends to the Riverside county

NO NIGGER IN WOODPILE

One wonders how those who
ascribe rises and falls in the stock

Machiavellian capitalists and other
wolves of Wall Street" are react
ing to the current improvement in
security values.
In few weeks, billions of dollars
were added to the listed values of
securities on the New York Stock
Exchange alone. There are rumors
that foreign capital started the up
swing. There are other rumors that
investment trusts, which had been
carrying large part of their assets
in cash and have been waiting for
what seemed the low point, were a
dominant factor in getting the list
going upward. All of this may
be true, but a far more important
truth is this: the rise never could
have gene beyond the momentary

ing by the general public-the John

SAFETY MOVEMENT

Schools and communities are
showing increasing interest in the
traffic safety problem. Educators,
traffic officials and others have come
to the conclusion that something
has 10 be done-and that the time
to do it is now.
Proof of this is found in the wide
spread acceptance of two standard
books on traffic safety issued by the
National conservation Bureau. One,
'Man and the Motor Car" Is de-
signed for high schools. Its sale has
exceeded 10000 copies and num-
erous special editions have been is
sued by state departments. 1t is
used as standard text in thous-
ands of schools, and its vivid mess
age is reashing hundreds Of thous-
ands Of young people.
The other book, Creating Safer
Communities" is a guide for plann-
ing and executing sound community
traffic control programs. So far 81
Of the states have publiched author
lied editions of this text. The book
recommends and completely de-
scribes proven techniques for engine
ering. driver educatioH and coma

CLAIMS FOR OLD.AGE
INSURANCE

During the month of June 299
claims for lump-sum payment of
old-age insurance, amounting to
$13,54O.27 have been certified for
payment to claimants in the State
of Maryland, it was announced to-
day by Mr.. Luther Becker, Manager
of the Baltimore Field Office of the
Social Security Board. This brings
to 2,767 the number of claims which
have been certified for payment in
this area since Jan. /, 1897. when
the old-age insurance provisions of
the Social Security Act went into
effect. The average payment made
per claim in Maryland in June was
$45.29.
The total number of claims certi-
fed for payment in June throughout
the country was 1901, and of this
number 1O,942 were death claims,
the remainder being claims of wage
earners who had reached the age of
IS. Approximately so percent of the
claims for old-age insurance bene-
fits now being filed with the Social
Security Board come from relatives
or representatives Of the estates of
wage-earners who have died.
Mr.. Becker added that until the
beginning of the present year the
number of claims filed by wage
earners and those filed by the heirs
of deceased workers were approx
mately the same for the country as
a whole. Since then, however, there
has been an almost steady increase
in the number of death claims. This
increase is believed to be due large
ly to the growing size of the bene-
fits and to more widespread know
ledge of the old-age insurance pro-
visions of the Act
Throughout the country, the total
amount of all single cash payments
authorized by the Board since the
old-age insurance system went into
operation, January /, 1897, had
reached $5,915,367.13 by the end of
June. OF this amount, $3,216,55O.
has been certified for 92,S55 death
claims and $2,698,816.SO for 49,
767 life claims.
A total of 559,443 applications
for Social Security account numbers
have been received by the Social
Security Board in the State of Mary
land, according to Mr.. Luther Beck
err, Manager of the Baltimore Office
of the Social Security Board. Dur
ing June 1913 applications were re-
ceived at the end of June was 49,

CHURCH CONFERENCES
AGAINST GAMBLING

Methodist Churches-the New New
York East Annual Conference of the
M. E. Church, held in Brooklyn, at
which 200 pastors were present, aud
the other, the 10th Annual Confer
ence of the Methodist Protestant
Church, held at Westminster, Md.
went ON record against all forms
of gambling.
The New York Conference assailed
the proposal to exclude from the new
constitution of the State of New
York the provision of Articles L,
Section 8, of the present constitu-
ton, which prohibits gambling with
in the state 1t also called for the en-
forcement of the present laws
against gambling.
The Westminster (Md.) confer
ence, attended by 400 ministers,
urged a continuous bombardment
against both gambling and liquor.
This meeting laid plans to defeat at
the November election the proposed
amendment to the Maryland consti-
tuition, which would allow the leg
islature to legalize lotteries in the
state.

The opinion is going the rounds
that the democracies' best defense
against the fascist totalitarian states,
is the latters astounding financial
weakness.
The democracies, of course, such
as France, England and the U. s.,
have gone to great lengths in monet
airy tinkering, taxing and spend
ing. But they aren't in the same
class as the fascists. Germany, for
example, absorbs over one-third Of
it's national income in taxes, and
still can't make both ends meet.
Italy, faced with poor crops and an
increasingly favorable balance of
trade, is hard pressed for money.
And Japan, as everyone knows, is
spending beyond it's means at an in
credible rate, and is giving some
thing like half of all it's government
revenues to the maintenance and ex-
pansion of it's military machine.

ARTS OF WAR AND WAYS OF
WITCHES
j. E. Jones
]. E. Jones

Washington, d. Everybody in
Washington is interested in the joint
Congressional-Depa Com
mittee of the Federal Government
which proposes to study monopoly
and the concentration of economic
power" Senator-Chairman O'Ma-
honey assures the country that the
purpose OF this Committee is to
study the whole business problem.
To further ease the minds of the
public, another Senator assures the
country that this will be mo po-
litical witch hunt"
In 1917 all American precedents
were smashed. The people raised bill
lions of dollars for war by purchas-
ing liberty bonds, and 9 billion dol
lars of the proceeds were loaned to
Great Britain and France. Labor
was put under war Board, and
business men came to Washington
from every part of the country and
set up their own rules and regula-
lions. They sold their goods to a
Government that was so trusting
that it left it to the sellers to fix
their own prices. Agriculture was
controlled and there was price-fix-
ing for everything that was raised,
or manufactured, from the top to
the bottom Sugar was measured cut
at the breakfast table by the spoon
full.
When it was all over everybody
found himself organized into some
kind of a group-it might be as
veterans, farmers, industrialists,
patriots, pacifists, or a human well
fare society. Society as a whole was
under RECOMMENDATION.
When there was a war our people
openly confessed that they followed
the President matter which
way he was going. They finally kill
cd him with ingratitude.
Apparently the Government is still
utilizing all the arts of war to regi-
ment us, and while there may be
no witch-hunMng intended in the in
vestigation of monopoly, the prob
lens to be considered are nearly all
contrary to the fundamental princi-
pies of the American Government.
That may be due to the fact that
our methods of government have
been taken over by the witches. In
such a case the monopoly investiga-
ton might properly be regarded in
a different light. There seems to be
sound reason in Senator O'Mahon-
ey's statement of the purpose of the
inquiry which he says lis to give a
broad picture of how industry; func-
tons. HE adds: Eve have no in
tention to pillory industry; we will
not be interested in any law viola
lions we might find, as SUCH; this
is to be an objective study direct
ed at no specific person"
Nevertheless, it is to be regret
ted that the so called "monopoly-in-
vestigation furnishes very little hope
that it will either point, or pave
the way, to more orderly processes
lin the confusing relations between
Government and industries.
