FAVORS BETTER CONVICT CONTROL Welfare Official Says State Should Direct All Pris ons and Chain Gangs Rutherfordton, Aug. 29.—"We be lieve the state should assume control of all convicts," stated Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson, commissioner of Char ities and Public Welfare of Ra leigh Thursday in addressing the Rutherfordton Kiwanis club at the Isothermal hoteL The state commissioner spoke on, "Prisoners." She said in part: "We have three kinds of prison control in North Carolina, our state penitentiary at Raleigh, county jails, and convict prison camps in counties. "Sixty of the 100 counties now have prison camps. The state should be responsible for the con trol of all prisoners. There should be careful classification of prison ers as to sick and well, feeble mind ed, and strong. Inefficient guards are often employed at prison camps. Our county prison camps are not an economic asset. There are too many idle people in our jail. "We have no right to let able bodied men and women lie idle in our jails. We need men in charge of men prisoners and women- in charge of women. Thirty-three per cent of all prisoners in the United States have gone back to prison again several times. Most of our prisons are not improving the morals of our prisoners. I shall never forget my first visit to the death row in Ra leigh. I oppose capital punishment, for there is worse punishment than death. By the help of the Rockefeller foundation we are studying the rec ord, or life history of 31 men in the state who have been in the death row at the state prison." ACCIDENTS DON'T HAPPEN Most people think of accidents as happening, as something unavoidable. f?uygenerally back of every accident pa 1 cause. For this reason, an acci dent death toll of 80,000 persons kill ed each year is useless. Excepting those of natural origin —earthquakes, cloudbursts, Cyclones, floods, etc., —experience of recent points clearly to the conclusion ;hat most accidents are avoidable. The industrial safety movement, iccording to the testimony of ex >erts in that field, has shown over nd over again that accidents are ireventable. If, then, they can be ivoided by human agency, they are lot accidents at all. It has been demonstrated that fires an be reduced by the fire preven ion movement. We know that while ame automobile drivers have many cedents, others driving under sim- conditions have almost none. Once the safety habit is establish 1, it is not difficult to maintain.— Whatever became of the old-fash ned girl who, at this time of year, id a dresser drawer full of dolies d fancy work prepared for Christ iany Sufferers 'Jtoni [NEURALGj^ ft DR.
