LEGIONNAIRES TO SEE GREAT ©HAMA PARABE Knights of Ak-3ar-Ben Make Plans for Fall Convention. Bu Timm Special OMAHA. Neb., July 14.—When 100,000 American Legionnaires come to Omaha in October to attend the Legion National convention, one ot the big shows they will see as a part of the program which the Omaha Legion is putting on for their benefit will be the parade of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, a $75,000 affair. For more than thirty years the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben ha\e staged this parade annually. It was the first electrical parade in the entire country and has continued to be first in prominence year after year. Based on Constitution This year the parade is based on the Constittuion of the American Legion. The object of the theme is pot that the Legionnaires may live again the days of "Over There," but to link up the people who were at home with the by making more vivid to the home folks the life of the Legionnaire at the front. Some of the leading artists in the entire United States are working on the twenty-five floats—one float to a man. Veteran to Aid Old Gus Renze, who has worked out the designs of every Ak-Sar-Ben float since the society was inaugurated, more than thirty years ago, will put the ideas on wheels. When the Ak-Sar-Ben parade comes down the street, with the officers in white and gold, with fifty bands, two bands to each float, with more than 100,000 electric light bulbs, with the tinsel, the spangles, the colored lights, the fireworks, the music and the twenty-five floats, each the creation of a master artist, the American Legionnaires at the convention will witness a sight that will long linger in their memory.

Former Congresswoman Goes to Ohio Prison to Learn of Life Behind Bars

Winnifred Mason lluck, former eongresswomar and the first woman to preside over the House of Representatives, got herself sentenced to prison. Guiltless of any crime, she sought answers to the questions— Are are prisoners humane ? Can a girl, crushed by hor fellow men, regain her place in !society ? Here is her first story, writ--1 ten for The Times. By Winnifred Mason Huck Former Representative to Congress From Illinois. UT your hat over there," I said the matron, glancing to- ! * ward a dingy corner of the ! cell ropm, as she prepared to search me. A wild assortment of feminine headgear confronted me. One peg was hatless. From that high vantage point, a lusty cockroach viewed the world. That smell of stale tobacco smoke, mixed with that of rotting food in the vermin-infested corners of the room, accosted me at every breath. And th ’ stench of cooped-up humanity pervaded all. The Door Clangs The door clanged behind me. The bolt shot. I was locked in the Cleveland police station, with the owners of those indescribably squalid hats. My eyes were getting used to the darkness, and I thought that soon I | could see as well as the rats whose j green eyes shone in the corners of | the room. My nose, however, never became acclimated, and during the days that followed, every breath I took in hat place left its sting on my memory. In the half light I descerned two olorod girls watching me with cool, •alculating e:> es. My knees shook. I said to myelf that I was not afraid of them, kept saying it. But my mind ran riot on the hought of how many bestial crimnals lurked in all those tiny cells, vailing to steal out into the center >? the room and stare at me. The cockroach who had greeted ne faded into insignificance -before he scene that presented itself withng the cell. A Million Roaches A million or more of his kind wandered about the place, listlessly, arrogantly, making no move to avoid me. Wrath seized me. I fought for my right to a seat in the cell, snapping them here and there with my very own fingers, controlling my horror of them in my rage to dispossess them. Life had moved swiftly for me within the last hour. For years I had wanted to see the ingide of a jail from the inmate's point of view, and for months I had schemed how I might do it. I One day a good friend said in my presence a few of the things he felt about persons who were too chickenhearted to prosecute those who wronged them. If people stole from him, he'd show them! He’d send any thief in the world to jail, if it was the last thing he did. My Opportunity A few days later, my opportunity came. His car was standing at the j curb. His new coat was inside, and the door was unlocked. I waited until I saw him coming up the street. Then I reached in, grasped his coat and started to walk away. I did not look back, but I felt he was quickening his pace. "ThatVi my coat,” he said at my elbow, with a touch of excitement in his face. Then, recognizing me, "Ye gods,! What's the big idea?" He looked completely amazed. "This is my coat,” said I, without changing expression. “Say, this isn't April Fool. What’s the joke?” "Well,” said I, “perhaps it is a joke and perhaps it isn't.” Then I told him of my secret ambition to get a real inside view of a jail, and that I was expecting him to make good on his threat of a few days before. Sweat broke out on his face. “Come,” he begged, "let’s go to lunch and forget this whole- business.” “I should say not,” I answered, all the while guiding our steps toward the police station. "And where’s your sporting blood?” This gibe went home. And so I was brought up in court. Six Months Judge F. L. tevens, a man with kindly eyes, but with lines in his face that told of constant contact with a world of evil and suffering, lectured me not. unkindly. The gavel pounded on the desk. "Elizabeth Sprague, six months," ho said. I was led out, turned over to a policeman and within an incredibly I short time, found myself locked in with the scum of a big city. I had seen their hats, and for the i present, there was nothing else

about them that I wanted to see. But I was doomed not only to see the women themselves, but to eat with them, to talk with them, at times to peer down into the abyss where their crafty, ugly, depraved, thoughts writhed. A scuffle, a curse, a sharp command, the sound of the impact of flesh on flesh brought me suddenly to my feet. In the outer room the matron and a policeman were bringing in anew prisoner. It was a sort of free-for-all wrestling match. The three plunged into the room. The policeman and the matron with a deft twist of their strong arms dispatched the woman prisoner with a reeling velocity into one of the cells. In livid rage, she regained her feet and made for the door. It slammed

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

in her face and the rasping Bolt was shot. Her fury broke into a storm of such language as I had not imagined existed on the earth. I went back to my cell, shaken with fright. Nothing could shock me anew, I thought. But I was wrong. Looking up, I saw one of the prettiest girls I had ever looked at, framed in the doorway of my cell. She was young, slim and graceful. Hor hands were delicate and her feet small. Her clo'hes reflected exquisite taste. She had good features, fine gray eyes, a well-ioised head and an appealing expression. She stood and stared at me.

The Tangle LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES- | COTT TO THE LITTLE MARQUI HE —< ’ONTIN UE D I picked up the little package ! again. “You say this Contains carved jade? How lovely!” Impulsively I began to untie the ribbons with which the package was fastened. “I adore jade.” "Yes, I thought you were the kind of woman, Mr.;. Prescott, who could feel more In jade : han its mere intrinsic value. You know, of course, that a Chinese -artist can tell the value of a piece of jade just by feeling of it. With some of these people this is an absolute obsession, and among the Chinese there is a vice they call le vice au jade. It is the desire to feel jade all the while—to think and talk of nothing else. “There is always a mystical significance in jade for me. The Chi nese also feel it. for those who love it have carved into it the stories and symbols of their heroes and gods. Some pieces have upon them whole epipa of love and of war; and some even cut in it in symbols their philosophy of life.” By this time 1 had taken the delicate old Chinese gold brocade from off the package and there lay within my hand the most exquisitely carved figure of a woman clothed in all the trappings of embroidered coat and trousers. Her hair was wreathed with jeweled flowers real jewels, small diamonds, sed pearls and colored gems made Into the flower petals with leaves of emerald. The workmanship was almost unbelievable. Even on the tiny hands were jeweled rings. It was something unique, and probably priceless. The figure was only about eight inches tall. I handed it over to fiyd, who sat on the other side of me. with the most enthusiastic praise of its beau:y delicacy and charm. I had never seen anything like It before. The woman’s face was beautiful, not at all fantastic. It was almost something for which I might easily acquire le vice au jade. “What is the story. Sartoris?” asked Jack as he looked at the bauble curiously. “Well, you see," he answered, "1 1 don’t know the whole of it myself, i This is the first statuette of the kind I have ever seen even in China, although I have been told there were four or five pairs in existence.” "Pairs? What do -you mean by pairs?” asked Jack. “Have you a pair of them?" "No, not yet, but it ems that this is only one of a pair, and these figures arc always carved in pairs. There is always a man and a woman and the man who carves them must devote years of his life to their creation. He carves them simultaneously, the old man who finally sold this one to me told me, so that they will be finished at the same time. “There is some sort of a legend that they must never be separated; consequently they are never sold except in pairs.” (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.)

FEMININE CHARM STILL HAS SPECIAL APPEAL

Tha lonp-skirted, befrillod, tightly-laced Gits of that our grandmothers were look appealing in pictures nnflS musical comedies, but they would not get very far in actual these days.

The men talk of the ’'oldfashioned” girl, but they would soon lose patience with a creature who fainted at the least exertion, who could play no game more strenuous than croquet; who could not be trusted in a man's comtnny without a chaperon; who could preside charmingly at a tea table, but was too “delicate’ to play golf; who was a delightful toy, but too fragile for practical life. Should such a girl appear today, the men would marvel at her, would declare she was their idea of what a girl should he—instead of one of these short-skirted, short-haired flappers; but they soon would return to their “pals,” tiring of the old-fashioned "toy.” Nevertheless, the modern girl could, and sometimes does, take some pointers from this picture of long jiast days. Men do still like for girls to be feminine, even while they also want them to be “good sports.” ‘Tomboy’ Is She Dear M! Lee: 1 am a alrl 15 year, old. I am called a “tomboy."
