By I nit at press JOLIET. 111., July 12.—Intelligence tests for guards is the most crying need in the modern penitentiary, convicts in the state prison let it be known today’. Warden Frank Whipp found a letter to that effect, signed by "the class of ’45,” on his desk as plans were being made for anew $2,000,000 prison. “The intellectual plane of the institution,” the letter said, “would be immeasurably uplifted to the resultant benefit of tile inmates thereof if the guards were required to pass intelligence tests. “Furthermore, since, with the lack cf work in the shops of the penitentiary, we spend about half of our time sleeping, it would be logical for the state to provide in-ner-spring mattresses instead of the hard ones now in use.” City Uses Antique Lamps In the section of Williamsburg, Va„ restored to eighteenth century appearance, streets are to be lighted with old fashioned lanterns on castrion posts.
