Relief for Crowded Jail

The Commissioners, In moving TO
reduce the number Of arrests for drunk
enness in Washington, have recognized
the need for drastic action to relieve
dangerous crowding at the Jail and the
workhouse. A recent report by the Com
imittee on Prisons, Probation and Parole
urged that alcoholics be handled by
agencies and organizations other than
the Corrections Department 1t was
stressed that Imprisonment Of these
chronic drunks does not rehabilitate
them and only adds to congestion Of
powder keg" potentialities at the cor
rectional institutions.
The advisory committee found that
IS per cent Of the workhouse commit
ments for 1856 and Is per cent Of the
,jail commitments were drunk cases.
Moreover, study Of the records showed
that % per cent Of the intoxication
prisoners were repeaters. II was stated
that efforts to rehabilitate the habitual
drunks ct the workhouse have failed.
largely because they do not stay there
long enough to be benefited by treat
ment. The committee recommended
that instead Of sending this type Of pris-
oners to jail or prison, rehabilitation
should be attempted through commu-
nifty program.
Apparently the Commissioners or
der that drunks be sent home whenever
feasible instead Of being arrested and
sent to court Is q step toward providing
the Jail and workhouse with some re-
lief from overcrowding. Such q plan
does not, Of course, assure rehabilita-
ton. Eventually . more effective pro-
gram for coping with the problem Of
alcoholics ought 10 be worked out. as
the Committee on Prisons, Probation
and Parole has recommended.

On Snoring
OF ALI the

OF all the sounds in the night-rain
on the roof, the wall Of siren, the
partying neighbors next door, the howl
ing dog down the street, and so on and
80 forth-few are as interesting, or as
maddening and persistent, as the full
bodied snore. It is in class by itself,
and there are those who are virtuosos
in emitting 1t. 1t swells from them as
they sleep; 1t roars; 1t wheezes; 1t
becomes veritable cacophony Of sound
ing brass, tinkling cymbals and rum
bling drums. Mostly. 1t Is a male art,
and to everybody caught awake in
It's presence-particular long-suffering
wives-it is q curse that defies descrip-
ton.
But this is an old problem, as old as
history itself, and human ingenuity has
yet to figure out way to rid the world
Of it. still, there is always somebody
ready and eager to offer possible solu-
tions. Awriter in an Italian newspaper.
for example, has Just counseled that
wife, II she is affiicted with a snoring
husband, may be able to silence him
simply by approaching his ear and
whistling softly in 1t. Or else, II that
fails, she may be able to achieve won
ders by dipping one Of his fingers In a
glass Of water, putting an extra pillow
under his boisterous head or rolling
him over on his side. Then, too, she
might sew into the back Of his pajamas
q rubber ball, which In turn should dis
courage him from sleeping in q position
that stimulates him into cutting loose
with his customary unconscious uproar.
Alas, though, even the Italian
writer admits that his advice may not
work in lot Of cases. Everything con-
sidered, however. he's right in declaring
that some Of his ideas are at least worth
trying. As for incurable snorers. the
plagued and sleepless wife would seem
to have no choice but to move to another
room away from It all or toss her in
Sufferahle husband out Of his bed onto
the cold, cold floor. Maybe that would
teach him lesson he'd long remember,
and perhaps 1t would even silence him
for good from that point on. Anyhow,
speaking for ourselves on this vital
matter. we have no other suggestion
to ofsR X

The arrangement Of private financ-
ing for the first construction In the
Southwest Area B redevelopment prof.
ect Is major breakthrcugh In the Dis
trict's critically important attack on
slunns. It now appears certain that
within few months the first attractive
new apartments and row houses In the
Southwest will begin to take form.
But the most encouraging thing Is
the manner In which official, civic and
business leaders have co-operated to
surmount the very serious financing
problem.
The private redevelopers Of Area B
warned months ago that the project was
threatened by permanent financing diff
ficulties, intensified by the tight money
market. What happened was q real
community effort to find the loans,
which eliminated in the agreement Of
the John Hancock Mutual Life Insur-
ance Co. Of Boston to pick up SIS mil
lion worth Of FHA-insured mortgages.
Major roles In the drive were played by
John Remon, chairman Of the District
Redevelopment Land Agency, who is
sued the call for civic help, and George
A. Garrett. president Of the Federal
City Council, who negotiated with the
John Hancock Arm. As Mr.. Garrett
has pointed out, the action Of the Bos-
ton arm in accepting . not particularly
attractive investment was motivated
largely by recognition that business
must assume its responsibilities" in
rebuilding our blighted cities.
II Is encouraging, too. that WASH
ington banks had modified themselves
to provide short-term construction n
nancing. In the event 1t was needed.
Such crises are certain to arise again.
as the redevelopment program gains
momentum. It Is good to know that the
community stands ready to meet them.

@. How can one tell the
sex Of the small turtles sold
in pet shops?-T. A.
A. These are young turtles.
and there are at first no ex-
ternal characteristics by
which their sex can be de-
termined. Differences become
apparent as they grow. The
females color remains the
same. she grows to twice the
size Of the male. and her front
and hind claws are Of about
equal length. The males
color becomes increasingly
darker. so that an old male
may be black, and his front
claws grow twice as long as
his hind ones. The female
natures when her lower shell
(plastron) is from six to eight
inches long. The mature
male. two to five years old Is
only three and Q half or four
inches In length.
