NEW BOARD OF PAROLE AND
PROBATION

With the advent of the new State
fiscal year, Marylanders will begin
to see the operation of more of the
important reforms promised by Gov
ernor Herbert r. O'Conor, among
them a new system of Parole and
Probation in line with moredn pen
illogical thought.
AS the result of legislation spon-
sored by Governor O'Conor to carry
out the aims outlined in his Inaug7
ural Address, a new Board of Pa
role and Probation is now beginning
to function, adequately stated, and
so set up that, for the first time, the
Parole Commissioner can have
direct check-up on PAROLES. Proba-
ton officers in the field, who will
make their headquarters at the var
ious penal institutions, will be able
to furnish at all times a continuing
check on the actions of those re-
leased on parole.
At the same time, the new Board
will make it possible for deserving
inmates of the penal institutions,
who are without friends on the out
side to intercede for them, to avail
themselves of the advantages of the
Parole System by getting their cases
before the Parole Commissioners as
their term of incarceration makes
them eligible.

INDUSTRY IN THE PRESENT
EMERGENCY
]. =. Jones

Washington, d. Cur nations
industrialists haven't any illusions
about what may happen to upset
financial an deconomic stability In
our own country as America be-
comes involved in existing interna-
tional entanglements and war prob
lens. Business leaders are all APP
ehensive-because executives at
the head of large concerns are old
enough to remember the World War
and its aftermaths.
The problems Of Industry in the
Present Emergency" brought sew
eral hundred leaders In the industry,
science and finance together a few
days ago as luncheon guests of AL
fred P. Sloan, Jr., chairman Of Gen.
eral Motors, at the Hotel Waldorf
Astoria. DIR. Harold G. Moulton,
president of the Brookings Institute
in Washington, appealed for coop
Grafton among all business groups
and declared that in the emergency
sit will be possible not only for all
classes of the American people to
receive higher levels of real income,
but also for this nation to maintain
financial and economic stability, and
thereby make its most effective
contribution to the eventual re-
storaion of economic stability and
progress in the World as whole"
Seated with DR.. MoultOn and Mr..
Sloan were John ID. Rockefeller, Jr.,
Senator Clyde l.. Herring, Congress
man Bruce Barton, Charles F. Ket-
tering, and Alfred E. Smith. Men
prominent in science, finance, chem
istery, transportation, the newspaper
world, and all walks of life, heard
Mr.. Sloan describe, the persent
emergency as one that may well
spell ultimate disaster at some fu-
ture time, in some form or other. u
He warned that sit is highly desir-
able that those concerned in any
form of enterprise should stop, look
and listen-and determine, on the
basis of their individual responsible
| ity, what each might do most INTEL
igently to discharge this new and
added responsibility with due re-
gard not only to their own interest
but in relation to the community as
a whole" That, he declared, was
the only way to escape what in the
end is certain to bring ito lower
standard of living" In the years OF
readjustment in which "all must

Wonders OF Electricity

The telegraph was invented by
Samuel F. B. Morse and Alfred Dali
in their workshop at MorristOwn,
New Jersey, 101 years ago this Fall.
and it gave a thrill to Washington
and Baltimore when a message was
telegraph by code, between the lat
ter two cities.
The original key used in the
transmission of the first telegraph
message is in the Smithsonian In
stitution in Washington.
1t was nearly SO years later be-
fore telephone communication exist
ed, with a few optimistic subscrib-
ers in important centers like New
York, Philadelphia and Washington.
The world was better prepared
for ENTHUSIASTICALLY when Mar
conf was conducting his experiments
80 years ago, but there were very
few optimists who had any faith In
the predictions that have been full
filled by radio.
Now comes television. which
works successfully in limited areas.
Thousands of modern wonders
are due to electricity, through which
medium automobiles travel the
earth, and airplanes lift themselves
high into the skies. Electrical sup
ports that keep planes from falling

The solution to the dairy prob
lem seems, simply enough. increas-
ed milk consumption. According to
the Dairymen's League News Of New
York, II everyone over ave years old
drank an extra glass OF milk each
day, the farmers annual cash in
come would increase by more than
$500, OOO. 900. or So per cent.
But more important, health and
diet authorities are generally agre-
ed that milk consumption In this
country, by both adults and chill
dren, Is far under desirable level so
far as health Ii concerned. So In
creased milk consumption would be
boon to the general public as well

By BARBARA BELL.

There's no better start-off for your
fall wardrobe than a new variation
on the classic shirtwaist theme-a
dress you can put on at once and
wear with pride and comfort all sea-
son, for Office, college or shopping,
whichever takes up most of your
days. The skirts of these two shirt
waisters show the new trend to mar
rowness, and have pleats to give
softness and graceful animation.
If there's little girl in your fam
lily, or life, you'll certainly want to
make her the sweet little basque
frock for all the parties and class
room sociabilities that new school
term brings. Each of these patterns
is very unlaborious to work with,
und each includes an explicit, de-
tailed sew chart that explains every
step of the making.
Casual, youthful, faultlessly tai
lored, 1758-B will delight you be-
cause it's the button-front style
you can put on in nothing fiat when
you are tearing to get to work or
class on time Pleats stitched at the
top give the skirt a graceful f1uency
as you walk. The sleeves are pleated
at the top to give shoulder breadth.
the collar is deeply notched, and
there's slight blouse at the waist
line to enhance the air of easy nom
chalance. Make this of fiat crepe,
flannel, jersey or tie silk.
No ordinary shirtwaister is 1662-B!
Clever little details lift it right off
the usual, and give it real individ-
uality-the double square pockets,
the link cuffs, the plain, rather mar
row, tailored collar. Long lines of
stitching, that break into inverted
pleats at the hem, give a beautifully
suave, slim silhouette to the skirt.
There's practically no fitting at all
to this dress-a few simple darts at
shoulder and waistline-just enough
to make it slender looking and easy
over the bust. Flat crepe, flannel,
jersey and wool crepe are excellent
materials for a dress like this.
