Aviation PHOTS ASKED TO PASS ON AIR RACE PROGRAM New Rules Will Put Women on Equal Footing With Men. By Scnppa-Howard yewtpapr r Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—America's airplane pilots are being asked to pass upon the race program, drawn up for this year’s national air races, to be held In Cleveland, from Aug 29 to Sept. 7. For several years there has been dissatisfaction ~ among participants, especially the women, on the way rules for the various races were drawn. But this year there can be no kick. A tentative schedule of events has been drawn up, mailed out to every pilot in the country, and criticisms invited. When the objections are all turned in, the program will be arranged to suit the majority of pilots. Three Derbies Announced Luke Christopher, secretary of the contest committee of the National Aeronautic Association, has just returned to Washington after two weeks in Cleveland drawing up the race program. He will return to Cleveland on March 15, the closing date for objections to be filed. The women pilots should have no kick this year. They have been put on an equal footing with men, and can fly practically anything they please. There will be but three crosscountry debries this year. One will be an “On to ” derby, for both men and women. It will start from the Pacific coast and the first plane to reach Cleveland wins. Pilots can flv nonstop, or make at many stops as they choose. Prizes Are Higher The other two will be from the Pacific coast to Washington, D. C., and back to Cleveland. Several days will be taken for these races. One is for men, the other for women, but both will be flown together, over the same route at the same time. More than forty planes are expected in the race Total prizes for the derbies and the closed-course events during the ten-day race program will amount to $92,000. Most races will pay higher prizes than heretofore. One feature will be a race solely for autogyros

UNREST IN INDIA IS DESCRIBED BY PASTOR Unemployment and depression ravages India just as it does the rest of the world, the Rev. H. M. Zorn, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran church, said today, following his return here after a six months’ visit of missionary posts in southern India. Political unrest caused by the prophet, Ghandl, coupled* with lack oi enterprise, have been responsible for making the situation in India critical, he says. He said the lower classes of natives were especially receptive to the work of the missionaries. The Rev. Mr. Zorn will resume his pastorate Sunday. The Rev. Irvin Meinzen has been acting pastor. t

Illinois Womans Reformatory Resembles Good Country Club

Ths administration building of Illinois’ new prison for women, looking more like an exclusive country club, is shown above. Below is a cozy living room in one of the cottages where the inmates will be housed.

Prisoners to Have Individual Rooms in Comfortable Gottages : BY BRUCE CATTON NEA Service Writer DWIGHT, 111., Feb. 27.—A prison without iron bars or high walls or cells— A prison where each inmate has a comfortable bedroom, dines in a cozy little dining room and has a cheerful lining room and sun porch for the leisure hours of the evening— A prison where organized society makes a genuine effort at rehabilitation and spends freely of its time and money to make its wards better people when their terms end— Such is the new Illinois reformatory for women, now nearing completion on a 160-acre tract of land a few miles outside this town on the open prairie Eventually the state will lodge approximately 300 women Ui this institution—criminals of all kinds, from shoplifters to “girl bandits.” The reformatory is open now t although it is not quite finished. An executive staff, under the direction of Miss Helen Hazzard, superintendent of the institution, is on duty, and few prisoners are confined there. Seen from the road, the reformatory looks like an exclusive ccun-

try club development. The administration building rises in a graceful pile of rough stone, like an old chateau in Normandy. Beyond it, a winding graveled road leads through a grove of oak trees to the eight cottages that are to house the prisoners. Large Homes In the spring these cottages will be in operation. Each will be a complete unit—and each is remarkably like the country home of a moderately well-to-do business man who happens to have a large family. On the first floor of each cottage, a covered porch opens into a hallway which leads back to a large living room, furnished neatly with wicker chairs and lounges, a piano, a tableful of magazines and a phonograph. Adjoining is the suite for the matrons, who oversees the place. At the other end is the dining room, set with small tables of brightly painted wood, and the kitchen —a large room, this, equipped with iceless refrigeration, electric range and other modem appliances. Upstairs are the bedrooms, airy and pleasant, each with a neat iron bed, white sheets, and a dresser. To Be No Coddling Nothing in the house suggests that this is a penal institution. An exact duplicate of each house, including its landscaping, would make a fine and salable addition to any residential suburb. One realizes that it is a. reform-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

atory only when one sees the women inmates in their reformatory garb of plain denim. But Miss Hazzard, the supeintendent, says the prisoners are not going to be coddled or pampered. They will be prisoners, just as truly as in an iron-barred institution of the older type. They will have to conform to strict discipline. They will have to work or study all day, and the work will be hard. Miss Hazzard explains that the aim of the institution is expressed in its title—reformatory. An attempt will be made to fit each prisoner for a normal, lawabiding life in the outside U'orld She will be taught to read and write, and will be given as much of an education as her mental capacities fit her for. . She will, be taught to work, so that when she is released she will be able to support herself. A psychiatrist and a psychologist will visit the institution regularly to correct mental quirks that stand in the way of a normal life. There is no wall about the grounds. There is, instead, a sevenfoot wire mesh fence; but, as Miss Hazzard points out, this was built more to keep intruders out than to keep the inmates in. The reformatory will be open to all women offenders who draw sentences of longer than six months. On the average the gainful workers of the United States do not work more than 275 days in the year.

AGE PENSIONS RILL GOES TO THIRDREADING House Lets Amendments by Senate Stand; Fear Measure’s Death. dissenting vote, the Indiana house of representatives today passed to third reading the amended senate old age pension bill which made the maximum age for qualification for pension 70 and gives counties optional right to adopt the system.
