And Parole System Reported Upon
at Convention -of American Prison
Associationinteresting Resume.
Baltimore, Md No. 15. The .re
port of the Committee4! Reformatory
Work and Parole, tothe American
Prison Asaociatibn66w holding a- con-'
gress in this city, was made last night
by Frank Moore, of Rahway, N. J.,
chairman of the committee. The re
port was in part as follows:
"The report of the Census Bureau
on the Prison Population of the Unit
ed States, published December 30,
1911, shows something of how great
the criminal $deetio'n is with which
the American Prison Association has
to deal. The ratio of prisoners on
January 1, 1910, was 125 to each 100,
000 of our population, while the ratio
of commitments during that year was
522 to each 100,000 citizens. Thus it
appears that at the beginning of the
year 1910 one
le jpejspn out of every 800
New Year in prison, and
greeted the
chat during that same year for every
190 persons in our total population
there was one prison commitment.
The entire number confined during
the year was 479,763. This number
is greater than the population of any
one of ten States, and it is larger than
the combined population of the four
State: Wyoming. Nevada, Alaska and
Delaware.
"From the census it also appears
that there is an increase in the num
ber of those who are being commit
ted to penal institutions. The census
of 1890 shows 106 prisoners for every
100,000 population, the census of 1904
shows 1006-10, " while the census of
1910, a salready stated, is 125. The
census of England for 1910 shows 185
tried in courts for every 100,000; while
our census shows 522 actually impris
oned for the same number.
"The first month an offender is ia
custodial care is the most vital part
of his confinement. During that time
it is of the utmost importance that
he should be completely isolated from
the rest of the population. The re
ceiving ward is the most valuable part
of an institution; not as a means of
preventing contagious diseases from
spreading, not that it may be used
for the instruction of the inmate in
the rules and spirit of the institution;
these are both needful, but the neces
sary thing above everything else is
that it 'should become a psychological
laboratory, wWre not only the mental
ability of the inmate should be care
fully determined, but where the hid
den secrets that lie back ofthe crime
he committed shall be discovered.
Here in the receiving ward the phy
sician, the psychologist and the wise
disciplinarian tne offtcer of keenest
perception, are all needed to discover
the ver ytaproot of the man's evil
deeds in order that his assignment to
work may be wise, the discipline to
be administered to him just;1 and so in
the end the man refofmed." '
After drawing attention to some of
the tVDes of offenders who present
special mental and physical difficul-
ties, and reviewing the existing meth-
ods of - ref ormatory wbrk;r KTr: Moor
took up-the "question of parole. He
Ead that some persons claiihed 65
per cent, others : 76 per cent , and
still others 87 per pejii He quoted
one investigator' as follows:
I believe that "25 per cent, of the
boys paroled make a greater average

UNCLE SAM, CENSOR
OF CLINGING SKIRTS.
Cincinnati, Nov. 15. That the Gov

manufacture or sale of flimsy, worth
less or deleterious garments, and that
a national textile bureau be establish
ed, of which one department should
have as its purpose the investigation
and standardization of garments were
among the suggestions made5 Ty Mrs.
John C. Bessler, of Decatur, 111., at a
meeting of the Home Economics De
partment o the Cincinnati Women's
Club.
"AH womanhood suffers definite de
gradation from prevalent fashions, al
though they are structurally excel
lent," she said. "That is, we now
have comfortable waists, shorter and
less voluminous skirts, comfortable
sleeves and the privilege of wearing
collars or of going without. All these
are good, but it is fn the abuse of
these comfortable fashions that our
present difficulty lies.
"Improve transparent bodices, no
petticoats to blur the outline of the
figure, clinging skirts, too low necks
or ultra short sleeves for street wear,
these are the problems that confront
us. It is time we called a halt on the
wearing of boudoir garments on the
street."
NINETEEN TWELVE
AS NAME OF TOWN.
Monongahala, Pa., Nov. 15. The
town of Eighty Four, Washington
County, with a population of 700 more,
never has contained a Republican vot
er. Once, many years ago, a Republi
can went to the town to go into busi
ness, but did not remain.
Eighty Four took its present name
when Cleveland was elected President
iin 1884. Previous to that time it was
known as Fifty Six, in ' honor of the
election of President James Buchanan.
For sonie reason the name was not
changed to Ninety Two when Cleve
land took his second term. - Now, af
ter twenty years, the Democrats are
shouting again, and a petition bearing
the signature of every voter and prop
erty owner in the place is ready to be
submitted to the Postmaster General,
requesting that the name of the Post
office be changed to Nineteen Twelve.
It is believed that Postmaster-General
Hitchcock will grant the request. Any

General after March 4.

in order to win," Speaker Clark said.
"We ought to carry them out religious
ly. Therefore I am in favor of an ex
traordinary session of Congress and at
as early date as possible after the in
auguration, to revise the tariff and do
such other things as appear proper.
The country has a right to know what
we intend to do. It is the uncertain
ties that hurt. But after all is said and .
done whether we have an extraordi
nary session or not depends entirely
on President-elect Wilson's idea as to
the necessity and desirability thereof.'

perity and that "nobody pays any at

at them." As to'legislation other than
tariff to-be - undertaken by the next

greater elesticity to money volume.
