Oppose Increased Rate On Austrian Post Cards * | Vienna (United Press> Any Austrian who UtJk s mi inc-i ■ «*.<■ in the p -■ luge on a pout-card worlK ugain-t the best Intel est of his country. Such in suostame is the opinion recently vole \ ed by the Austrian post-card society, this view being broadcast through ( the newspapers by the executive com ! mittee of the society. These post-card fans base their verdict on the fact that the inventor ot the post-card was an Austrian. Every increase in postage necessary to send a post-card through the mall Is therefore, according to their conviction, a blow to avstrian fame because it will decrease the number of posts ards which are used. GENEVA SWAMPS MONROE JOINTET © Cardinals Pile Up Score Os 43 To 13 On Monroe Team Friday Night The Geneva high school Cardinals set a fast pace last, night iu defeating the Monroe high school eagers, in a game played at Berne. The final score was 43 to 13, and the Geneva coach used a total of 11 players in the game. The first half was fairly eveiliy contested. Monroe holding Ute winners to an 18-10 lead, but Geneva forged ahead to a big lead in the second half. Habegger starred for Geneva. with ten field goals and a free throw to his credit. Lineups and summary: Monroe (13) Geneva (43) Andrews F . Striker Bahner F Brown Busche . C Stahley RupertJG. Bauserman Elzey '.G Dunwiddie Substitutions: (Monroe), Gould and Keller; (Geneva).

Foul goals: Busche 2; Elzey 1; Habegger 1. 'Andrews Points Out 1 Benefits Os Prohibition (CONTINUED FROM PACK ONE) funds for undercover work if prohibition enforcement work is to go ahead. Andrews said. "The prohibition unit reorganization measure would divorce the organization from the internal revenue bureau and therefore remove dual responsibility," he explained. ..This would simplify administration of the law in every way. "The public should be interested in the medicinal liquor bill. It will (..- i!. i:i<- m 'i>i' a pure brand ot liquor for medicinal needs, and it will Save the government millions ot dollar- annually in enforcement work "Without secret service agents prohibition can never succeed. Therefore I am hopeful that congress will release the $500,000 fund for undercover operations. “Some of the liquor rings in the country have big secret service organizations of their own. Fire must be fought with fire. When trusts have monthly payrolls of more than $1,000,000. it is time to realize that brains arfe bebindt he organizations and they cannot be attacked in the open. "Secret service work is the backbone of prohibition enforcement, and work of carrying out the provisions ot' th,. Volstead act will suffer after July 1. unles smoney is made available tor it." Retired Ministers Pay Deficit Os Church Papers Dayton, 0., Feb. 12—The retired ministers of the United Brethren denomination have made possible the nubUcr’tien of the official church paper, The Telescope, by paying a deficit of. $14,365.1)6 from the profits of the Otterblen Press, which profits are intended to be used for old age pensions for the old and retired ministers of i the denomination.

PAY PRISONERS - HALF CENT A DAY 'British Prisoners Earn Sil I In Seven-Year Period; Work is Heavy British prison administrators have turned to the shrewd practices of the ancient Pharoahs for a punishment that will break the will of an obstreperous prisoner without so much as scratching his skin. If the punishment were prolonged the prisoner would lose his mind. For undergoing such punishment, and for every day he works in a British prison, a prisoner earns one half cent. Seven years of confinement would permit the priosner to accumulate about sll. This is the second of a series of stories on British prison methods. —UNITED PRESS. "ijy Sydney J. Willrims (United I'rcrx Staff C.n respondent I London (1 nite J ircss) —A critnin:tl s first days in a U’itish prison art spent in solitary confinement Three times a day he hears another — when his food is handed to him through the bars of his cell.

The working hours are not long. The J morning period is from S to 12 noon. I The afternoon s"ift from 1:30 to 5 But I there is no let up. Jailers, armed with I rifles it> additlop to a "sap"— a solid I ruober truncheon hanging from the I trowser-belt, watch the gang with I lerlness. Any slacking is the signal I fjr bringing the ’sap" into play. British jailers are not gentle. Complet silence among prisoners is insisted up- r on. The penalty for in offense agains thisprison law is three days solitat" t confinement in the “dark ceil' cn t bread and water. | Breaking huge slabs of granite is a f ivorite task allotted prisonci s in Ihitish jails. But an even more drastic i task is given consistent offenders a- ' aginst prison rules. It is the adoption . of a penalty handed out to violent ■ prisoners in the days of Pharoah. A | prisoner undergoing this punishhmnt is shown a of cement which be i must break down, load on a wheelbarrow. carry 200 or 300 yards and dump. He is then made to reload the wheelbarrow and carry the cenmrt ;ack to where he got it, dump it and begin ail over again. The effect i“ startling. As the days pass the hopelessness of it all begins to crush whatever pirit ihe prisoner oi'tglirally possessed. The officials know that if kept at it too long the prisoner would become insane but long before that stage reached the victim has expressed a keen desire to resume work with nnv of the other gangs. He is one of the ■ ha-iiest and most conscientious worki is tiom that day. — > Hatd work and williness is rewarded.

A much sought for post is that of • “trusty". Competition is keen while the vacancies are few. A “trusty” in a British pirson never escapes fn in the rigidity of discipline, but he is allow > cd to perform his tasks without the eye- of a jailer watching his every 1 invenient.
