Among the 895 slayers in the State prison are scores whose crimes were the sensations of the day when com mitted. Most of them soon were for gotten by the reading public. Today they are nameless-—just a number. Those in this category include Na than Leopold and Richard Loeb, the youthful slayers of little Bobbie Franks, scions of wealthy families and brilliant, students in college. An other is Lawrence M. HigSt. minis i ter, who with Mrs. Elsie Sweetiu, was : convicted of the slaying of Mrs. Sweetin’s husband, as/well as accused of killing his wife. Mrs. Sweetin, now just No. 9522. is one of fifteen women serving sentences of from four teen to thirty-five years for murder. One woman is under life sentence. Besides those sentenced for life one man at Chester is under sentence of 10 years and four are sentenced to 99 years. In terms of years the heav iest sentence being served at Joliet is 75 yeaers. Oldest Prisoner. Charles Lindewall. No. 6699. at Jo liet. is the oldest prisoner in Illiuois. He was received at the penitentiary ; April 20. 1900, at the age of 71. and has just completed 26 years in the institution, which makes him past 97. Second in point ot age ranks George Alverson. Before he entered prison, where now he is a number, he wrote initials after his name —“M. D." For years lie gave his time and energy to the relief of the ills of his fellow hu mans. One day he became nfatuated with the wife of a patient, and with her assistance administered a deadly draught to the husband that an illicit love af|Rir might continue. Alverson was sentenced to life. The woman was sentenced to the minimum for murder, fourteen, years. They entered the penitentiary together on March 15, 1929. They have not seen eaeh other since.

An ex it at the south end of the building makes it possible for the papers to be taken from the office,.without going through any other part y of the build ing. No .changes were made to the press room whjch houses the Goss Comet on which regular editions of The Tribune and The Times are printed, the Babcock press which is user! for page ad. circulars, and surplus sup plies of news print. By moving the job department to the new building additional space was g'.ven to the composing room, where the mechanieal work on the palters is carried out. In this depart ment are employed R. C. Crooks and A. W. Smith, linotype operators, J. u; McClellan, ad. compositor and make-up foreman. Reuben Utley, as sistant to Mr. McClellan, Kveret Riin e”, pressman and linotype operator, anw Smith I’eaeook who looks after making cuts from mats, etc., ami also is general handy-man around the of fice A row of tilting windows wi-h Flor entine glass compose the outer wall of the new building and similar win dows have been installed in the outer wall of the composing room. This glass 'gives the offices an intensified sunlight without glare. Similar glass is used in all the windows of the of fices, which are connected with slid ing windows. All of the old wiring in the office was removed and the new is carried in conduits, adding much to the general' appearance of the plant. The walls and ceiling throughout the office are white with the individual offices and partitions finished with a mahogany stain, which carries out the desire for dignified elegance. The entire front of the hqfne is to be changed later and at this time French doors are being installed between the lower hall and composing rooms so that all noise from the lino types and other machines will be en tirely cut off from the front offices. No formal opening of the new home is planned for the present, but inter ested persons are invited to make an inspection tour any time of the day. Those who are not familiar with the , press probably will be more interest- I ed between 2 :30 and 3 :15 p. m. when, i the papers are printed eaeh day.

The new water line which feeds the Jackson Training School is also being utilized by person living along the I line', it is announced by officials of the water and light depariWnt. The line is sufficient to care dor the needs of the Training School and private homes too, it is said. Persons living outside the city pay I a higher rate for their water, liowev j er. it is said, the rate for them being | 30 per cent, higher than for the man who lives in the city. This is the rate usually eburged for such service, , it is said. In this connection it was pointed out by the officials that the line to the training school was laid without cost to the city. “The expense of the line was tnes by the training school.?' one official' said, “so taxpayer* of the city have not been put to any addi -1 tional expense. We have allowed persons living along the line to get the benefit of city water, but they are paying the usual rate, which is 30 per cent, higher than the rate in the city I proper.” WANT MERCHANTS TO MEET HERE IN 1927 Local Delegates to Merdianta’ Asso ciation Meeting Authorised to Ex tend Invitation.

Mag 18.--Transformation Jails into places of wholesome rae ragtion and intellectual betterment aad communities from places of men ta| stagnation into ones of enlighten ment is being accomplished by the State library comiph, i “No. I don’t want a book. 1 was just looking around. Peers to me aa this used to be the jail.’’ And he was right. But it had been put to better use. But this is only one instance of what has been accomplished by the eahunission, which last year had an •sHmatcd circulation of 300,000 of the more than 36,000 volumes in its col lection, reaching according, to a con servative estimate from 800,000 to 900,000 readers, as often as malty as five or six people read the same book while it is out oil loan. Whi> there are 57 public libraries in the state, and thirteen subscrip .tion libraries, there are still 2,000,- 000 .people whp are outside the reach of these libraries. One of the things the commission is trying to do is to furnish books on the topics they are most‘interested in to a portion of this 2.000,000 who are npt within rehcli of the public libraries, most of them in rural communities where Yaading matter of any sort is hard to obtain. What is considered one of the most important departments of the com mission's work, then, is the "loaning section" where packages of books are made up and nlailed out to individu al**; the packages containing anywhere Data two to ten books at a time, though generally in smaller numbers. AH; that ia necessary to receive these packages is' to write the library com mission telling what books or what kind of bonks are desired, and the baoWs will be *nt by mail, the only cost to the recjgiieut being the post age both wayß. As an instance of the kind of re quests that come to the office of -the librarian, a letter was received today a Sing for a package of books suit ajtla for “tired mothers and second; gnrae children.'' Another letter asked [ for Vioks containing “Western stories'. I love and mystery'ktories, but no biog-! raphy, as the children won't read > that.” Downs of letters similar to those quoted from are received every day and packages of books, the con tent* carefully selected by trained li brarians to nice the wishes and needs of the borrower, are sent. Then there are the circulating li-, bruries. composed of the books that; are required in the schools, which are sent out -so the rural schools and the smafier high schools by the commis sion. The teachers act as the libra rians and give out the booka to their children. These libraries are loaned for three months at a time and aa: soon as one ease has been used, an other is sent, keeping the supply of books always different and fresh. A two-fold good has resulted in this service, first, that children have be come interested in reading books that never before were in the habk of read ing. ami second, that Tnuuy adults, mostly parents of the school children who borrowed the books, at first out of curiosity to see what their chil dren were reading, have become book reader* 1 and regular borrowers as a result. One hoy wrote in recently that- six other boys had read one book he had borrowed, and the records oft en sbo.w that as many as ten or twelve people huve read one book during the period of Its atgy in one locality.
