NO PITY SHOWN TO CRIMINALS BY ENGLISHjUSTICES Give Sentences Commensurate With Offenses Committed. fiu United Press LONDON, March 11. Hardened Criminals In Britain are not pampered. They receive sentences commensurate with the crime committed, the •mnals of crime in Britain seldom record a miscarriage of justice, and from the time they are given a number instead of a name it is made known to them in divers ways that they have sinnecj against society and have been sent to penal establishments for punishment. In the case of first offenders given long sentence methods are adopted aiming at reformation of character, but should any one of them find himself again behind bars he is treated as an “old lag” and his days until he regains his freedom are of severe discipline and toil. British prison officials are hardnatured men; ruthless when neces-

sary and seldom if ever corrupt. Their remuneration is not high, but prisoners attempting bribery are ■sadder and wiser men after the event. Corrupt officials are not unknown in British prisons, but they are rare. Only one official has been known to accept “money for favors” in the last five years. He was a prison sentence. Like Sailors Sailors are especially sought for as prison warders. Husky, rawboned naval men abound as official in British prisons. For “treating ’em rough and making ’em like it” no better type is known. Discipline has permeated to their very bones, owing to their service in the navy, and they know how to hand it on to others. The bark of their voices is enough to put fear into the ordinary human being. Let an “old lag” get tough with them and his days henceforth are purgatory. A British prison warden is nobody backed-up by the governor of the prison. According to a high police official, complaints by prisoners of ill-treatment are listened to, but that’s about all. More often than not the complaintant is ordered peremptorily to return to his cell and told he is not in prison for the benefit of his health, but for exactly what he is complaining about. Also on occasions the governor looks on while a prisoner is being “beaten up,” and seldom does he interfere. Food given to prisoners is no more than sufficient to stay the pangs of hunger. It is not the most appetizing in the world. Vegetable

soup forms a large part of the menu, as also does porridge—unsweetened. Roast meat Is a luxury seldom dispensed. Green vegetables rarely find their way to the prisoners’ .plates. Dry bread is given In comparatively liberal quantities to fill up. Weak, unsweetened tea, coffee and cocoa is the daily beverage. No- Butter The following is a typical breakfast in one of the British prisons: Tea, a minute portion of syrup, two to three slices of dry bread, and a supply of salt. It Will be noticed thatbutter is conspicuous by its absence. In this particular prison it came to the notice of officials that prisoners had a tendency to spatter the butter about their cells. The allowance was immediately cut off and salt substituted. To make the bread palatable prisoners now smear it with salt. Hard, true, but it was found that abuse of food ceased. Prisoners occasionally sham illness to avoid uncongenial tasks. Their treatment is drastic. When it is absolutely established that a prisoner is feigning sickness he is given prison sick diet. For breakfast a bowl of weak tea, two slices of dry bread and salt. Dinner consists of coffee, dry bread and what is known in prison parlance as “shadow soup.” This consists of a bowl of hot water into

which a teaspoonful of melted fat is added —no more than sufficient to give the water a greasy appearance. The evening meal is precisely the same as breakfast, except that cocoa is substituted for tea. Generally four days of this treatment is sufficient to have the prisoner begging to return to work, no matter of what description. Nevertheless, he is kept on "sick diet” for ten days. Prison officials state that this is an infallible cure for laziness. Prisoners with the most evil of reputations rarely if ever desire the dose repeated. State boarding is no pleasure In Britain. CAT HOLDS UP TRAFFIC Limousines Wait While Two Kittens Are Carried Across Street. fill United Press LONDON, March 11. Midday traffic in the crowded Knightsbridge district was held up for ten minutes recently while purring limousines and choking taxis waited for a cat to carry two kittens to the other side of the street. During a lull in the traffic the cat managed to dash across the street with one kitten, but was unable to return for the second one until an obliging traffic officer held traffic.

WORLD SESSION OF ROTARY AIMS AT FELLOWSHIP Twenty-Eight Nations Will Be Represented at Ostend, Belgium. Bfl United Press CHICAGO, March 11.—A world fellowship of business and professional men united in the ideal of service is the special objective of this year's Rotary International convention to be held at Ostend, Belgium, June 5 to 10, according to H. Rogers of San Antonio, Tex., president of the organization. Rogers made public here the common plan of the Rotarians of thirtyeight nations for the advancement of understanding, good will and international peace through this world fellowship. “Holding the convention in Eu-

The motto of Rotary Is ‘Service Above Self.’ It seems *o many of us Rotarians in both the old world and the new that the fact we are meeting in Belgium gives us

Dont Risk Pneumonia By Neglecting a Cold

A cough or cold may only make you feel miserable today. But when you begin to feel “achy” and feverish, with a tightness in your chest, congestion is reaching your bronchial tubes — and these tubes lead directly into your lungs!
