State Prison Meals Played

Boston, Feb. 23.-(UPl-Arthur T. Lyman, whose term as stat cor rection commissioner expired in January, today categorical.y denied charges made by his successor that inmates at state prison and Tram ingham Women's Reformato,y were subject to 'frightful" conditioi4s and "shamefully neglected"
 The charges were made by Con- missioner J. Paul Doyle at a teSti- monial dinner given him last nigh by small group of prison officials and political friends. Not Sched- uled to speak, Doyle described a protest demonstration staged at the state prison yesterday by inmates when he made surprise visit.
 In answering the charges made by Doyle. former deputy master of the Deer Island jail, Lyman said neither Warden Francis J. w. Lan- agan of the state prison nor Dr. Miriam Van Waters, superintendent of the women's reformatory would stand for neglect of prisoners. "Dr. Van Waters has an interna- tional reputation as a correction officer" Lyman added. "She is one of the kindest and the most humane individuals living" He said that the reformatory was regularly inspected by state public safety department officials.
 "The institution is croWded,' he acknowledged. Doyle is right about that and I'll make no bones about it. But as regards morale, the fact that there's been no serious dis turbance there ought to prove that it's as good as can be expected"
 Lyman denied Doyle's charge that food at state prison was frightful He said that the prison spends 15 cents per day per inmate more fol food than is spent at other state correctional institutions.
 "The prison has all the cleanliness you could expect from a building O. it's age GAO years) and in its loca- tion," Lyman said
 'Thousands of visitors have in- spected both state prison and Fram- ingham." Lyman added. I'm sure they never have observed any of the terrifying conditions reported by Doyle.

IN LIGHTING? That's the question everyone has been ask ing as we approach the postwar period we are all looking for ward to. The answer is, that lighting research has prepared an entire new world of indoor sunshine for our use after the war. For example, the use of huorescent lighting in homes will give the family cool, soft, abundant light they have never
 enjoyed before. And there will be many clever lighting ideas for the postwar home owner.

Winter Dips Suggested
By GORDON MANNING United Press Sports Writer

Boston, Dec. 31. (UP)-One New Years resolution you might make for better health this winter, &C., cording to Boston's famous L-Street Brownies, is to emulate their daily dip in the icy waters of Dorchester Bay.
 Since before the turn of the century the Brownies, so-called be- cause of their all-season tan, have swum in the bay regardless of whether snow covered the city point beach or, as in 1936, when they had to use picks to crack open a space in the ice-locked harbor.
 At present there are about 25 middle aged members of the Brownies, with occupations ranging from doctor to short-order cook. They take their daily dip when the tide is high on the ice-fringed beach at the L-Street bath house.
 Claim Immunity
 Each of the Brownies, who this winter have ducked in sea water as cold as 30 degrees on days when the thermometers stood at Il de- grees in the outside air. claims in- munity from the epidemic of grip and colds which has swept the nation. They also remain remark ably free from the aches of arth- ritis and rheumatism.
 Dr. William Frankman of Quincy, one of the more than half 8 dozen physicians who are L-Street regu- lars, said "our salt water winter dips build up resistance and are ex- cellent conditioners for the skin. However, the superb health usually enjoyed by the Brownies IS largely due to the fact that they take good care of themselves throughout the year."
 A veteran of IS winters at L. Street, Dr. Frankman cautioned those with weak hearts against polar bear" swimming and advised newcomers to acclimate themselves gradually to the freezing sea py taking a daily dip through the sum mer and fail.
 Young Men Afraid
 Another veteran of the Dorchester ice foes is Pat Meredith, 78-year- old retired Roxbury man, who walks from his home to the beach each day for his dip. Winter bathing fails to attract young men ana most of the present Brownies have kept the sport alive by records similar to the 30-year mark set py John Schaller of Arlington, a down. town restaurant executive.

Pasadena, Cal, Dec. 31-(UP)- Probability of fast track" for the Rose Bowl football game, boosted the chances of Alabama's pony backs to- day for a victory over the more heavier Southern California.
