OF less fresh air by keeping the win
dows closed, he suggested.

by itself, little oxygen is needed" :"
Mr.. Henderson said. "The infant
would get plenty of fresh air during
it's waking hours"
Mr.. Henderson said death from
smothering seldom occurs after a
baby is three months old. The fact
that tiny infants are too weak to
shift their positions when they are
smothering, accounts for the deaths,
he said.
Two deaths due to falls last week
brought the Districts home accident
fatalities to 14S for the year-31
more than were recorded this time
last year.
Other accidents last week: A lawn
mower standing on end turned over

The 10th infant fatality this year
due to smothering was recorded In
the District last week, leading the
Red Cross Accident Prevention
Service to warn parents that this
avoidable toll is running higher
than usual.
The latest death occurred to a
2-month boy who was found
asphyxiated, his face downward on
a pillow.
A least half dozen other infants
have been found dead with their
faces buried in pillows, according to
H. c. Henderson of the accident
prevention service.
"It is evident from this that no
pillow should be used at ALL he
said. Because other infants have
smothered in twisted bed clothing,
it also is best to use the least num-
ber of blankets possible. When they
are used, they should be tucked in
securely under the mattress"
If ideal conditions could be estab-
lished in all homes, 1t would be
best to have babies sleeping in room
temperature of from u to IA de-
grees, Mr.. Henderson said. In such
temperature, little or no cover
would be necessary.

be maintained. even at the sacrifice

New Methods Planned to Raise
Brick Output at Workhouse
By Colt HendIey

Hutson, District director Of con-
struction. Mr.. Hutson pointed out
only one large District government
construction job is now underway
the erection of heating plant at
the Home for the Aged at Blue
Plains. The only other present
need Of bricks was for sewer in
stallation and repair, he said.
However, Mr.. Hutson Joined in
calling for increased production at
the brick plant as soon as possible
Future needs will require more
than double the present monthly
production of 100000 bricks" he
stated.
About 50 Men at Plant.
At tho brick plant, which is on
an eight-acre tract near the re-
formatory at Lorton, Va, most of
the labor is done by hand at pres
ent, Mr.. Meade said.
Before the war when a production
of 100000 bricks month was main
tanned, about 135 men were en-
ployed at the plant, according to
Mr.. Meade He pointed out that
the men working at plant are not
considered criminals. but are per-
sons serving short sentences at the
Workhouse for misdemeanors, such
as drunkness and traffic charges.
Most of this year the plant has
been operating with about 40 men
which recently has been boosted to
more than so by a special order
from Mr.. Clemmer which utilities a
squad of men from the Reformatory
at Lorton. The Lorton men are the
more dangerous criminals and re-
quire special guards. Mr.. Meade
said.

stated. I'VE actually were down to Is
men working at the plant. We need

In spite Of a prisoner shortage
plans are being made to increase
brick production at the plant op-
Grated by the District Workhouse
at Occoquan, Va, to 1000, 900 bricks
a month to prepare for the expected
revival in District government
building, Donald Clemmer, superin-
tendent of penal institutions, re-
vealed yesterday.
Bricks made at the Workhouse
plant are used for all District gov
ernment building projects.
Present production at the plant
now runs about 100000 bricks q
month as compared to more than
100000 a month in 1941, according
to William c. Meade, superintendent
Of industries at the Districts penal
institutions. During the war years
production fell even lower, Mr.
Meade said
New Methods Planned.
Mr.. Clemmer and Mr.. Meade said
complete mechanization Of the
plant, now operated mostly by hand
labor, would be undertaken and
that a survey Of machinery needs
and new methods which might i'm
prove production is now underway
After the survey shows just what
is needed, a request will be made
to the Commissioners for the equip
ment necessary to produce the
100000 bricks per month in spite
of the prisoner shortage.
Reasons for the drop in produc.
ton is explained in various way:
by District officials but the con-
sensus seemed to be not enough
honest prisoners were being sent tt
Jail. This fact is upheld by com
parison of the number of mer
committed to the Occoquan Work.
house, which furnishes labor fol
the plant.
Commitments Drop.
Mr.. Clemmer said that in July
1941, total Of 1,249 prisoners wer'
sent to the Workhouse while il
July, 1916. only 482 were commit
ted to the institution.
This seeming paradox in tn
face Of the admitted rising crim'
rate in the District was explained
partially by Mr.. Clemmer, Mr.
Meade and various court and Dis
trict officials.
Since the war, money and job
have been easier to get and th'
pay, as a whole, has been higher
Consequently, many men convicted
of misdemeanors and sentenced Il
30, 60 or 80 days in Jail are paying
their fines rather than serving th'
time as formerly.
Although District officials ART
pressing for an increase in thu
production. there is no immediate
need for it, according to Archie J
