Hoosier Vagabond

LA TUNA, Tex, Dec, 15—For many years, each {ime we have driven over the road that runs northward from E! Paso we have wondered about that beautiful, country-club-looking estate about a mile off the road, just before you get to the New Mexico line, We have found out at last what it is. It's a penitentiary. It is the only one of our 22 Federal prisons without walled grounds. But don’t let that, and the fact that it's pretty, fool you. Discipline is strict, privileges are few, men work hard, and there is little chance of escape. It is a prison based in many ways on advanced ideas in penology, but it isn’t an easy prison, It was built in 1932, as a sort of experiment for short-termers. It is really a prison farm. They produce nearly everything they eat, except beef, and stuff like salt and sugar. . There are 500 men here. Their terms run from one to six years. They are about 40 per cent Spanishspeaking. Practically all the 42 guards speak Spanish. The library has books in Spanish, Prison signs are in both Spanish and English, Only 200 acres of the farm is under cultivation. Now it doesn’t take 500 men to farm 200 acres. So what do the others do?» Well, they're getting the rest ready for farming. d

Prison Spick and Span

This is desert country and farming must be done by frrigation. Before land can be irrigated it must be leveled, and sloped a little, and ditched all over. That's what these men are doing. They say there is 10 years’ work here for them, There are trusties here, but this is no honor-system prison. The men are locked in their cells every minute thev're not working—except for a couple of supervised play periods on week-ends, Guards who go into the fields with the men carry shotguns, Illiterates

Our Town

A COLLECTOR of postage stamps is known as a philatelist. The word comes from the Greek “philos,” a friend, and “atelia,” exemption from taxation. Everything else connected with philately is just as mysterious. Indianapolis has no less than 70,000 philatelists. For the reason that every family has at least one. Most philatelists are males. The females never got beyond collecting pins which they still canny in their mouths. As a rule, dolichocephalic males —those with long heads—make the best philatelists. To them stamp collecting is an intellectual pursuit. President Roosevelt is the prize example, It just happens, however, that Wilbur Peat, the best developed dolichocephalic male in Indianapolis, is not a philatelist. Unless, of course, Mr. Peat is hiding something from us. Indianapolis, as I've pointed out before, is the place where anything can happen—and usually does, The brachycephalic males, or squareheads, are less boastful and rarely, if ever, attribute their vast, excessive and, oftentimes, painful knowledge of history and geography to postage stamps. Indeed, the squareheads have been known to abandon ‘their stamp collections occasionally to give all their time to goldfish. Contrary to gencral belief, Indianapolis males don't collect stamps because of their uahappv home lives. Which doesn’t mean, however, that they don't lead mighty private lives. So private, indeed, that only two have their numbers in the Indianapolis telephone directory. The telephone people have them classified as “Stamp Collectors” (page 227). Wake up, telephone people!

Careful, Mr. President!

All of which iz preliminary to telling vou about a book on sale at the Indianapolis Postoffice. It's hot off the press and deals with the historical and commemorative issues of U. S. postage stamps. It ereated quite a stir in Indianapolis philatelic circles last week. especially among the dolichocephalic males. I read the Junior Edition which was plenty deep enough for me,

Washington

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—No one can appreciate what it means to live in a free country until he tries out the other kind. Those who have had that experience will appreciate two decisions by the Supreme Court this week, rejecting use of evidence obtained by wire-tapping. Two vears ago I spent a few weeks in Russia and Germany. Always present was the feeling that someone was listening in. A silent, unseen presence hovered everywhere. Friends living in those spy-ridden capitals, Moscow and Berlin, unconsciously glanced over their shoulders as they talked, as if to be sure no government eavesdropper was about,

must go to school. There are home-talent plays, but no movies, I've never been in a prison that was so clean, There isn't a speck of dirt anywhere. And the men are clean. They bathe three times a week in summer, twice in winter in two immense shower rooms, They are shaved twice a week. Prisoners almost always gain weight, Most of them are eating better than ever before in their lives, The prison raises ducks, and serves duck eggs instead of hen eggs. They do all their own canning. In the vast storerooms down below I saw 20.000 tin cans (a gallon each) of fruit and vegetables and soups the convicts have canned. »

Escapes Are Few

There have been escapes—men getting away while working in the fields. But there hasn't been a runaway for more than a year, and there never has been a dangerous, desperate break. There are solitary cells for punishment. One man was in there as we went through, He was humming a tune, No one has ever been sent from here to Alcatraz. But they have one fellow who used to be in Alcatraz. He was a military prisoner, I saw him, and he didn't look bad. As prisons go, this is probably one of the best. Warden Thomas B. White says his staff of guards is the finest he's ever had anywhere, They are young, and men of good education, The depression is largely responsible for that. The same thing has happened in police departments, and in the Army and Navy and Coast Guard. In these last 10 vears voung men couldn't get the usual jobs, so they have turned to these other professions and lifted their standards immeasurably. Warden White has served a whole career in investigative and prison work. He is thoroughly experienced, and his record is excellent. And I got the impression from him that he doesn’t think much of penitentiaries. He doubts that any prison has ever done any man any good. I doubt it, too.

The book starts off with an undated letter written on White House stationery by President Roosevelt. It's addressed “to the junior philatelists of the United States” and begins with a non-sequitur as nice as any to come my way this year. “I commend stamp collecting to you,” says Mr. Roosevelt, “because I started a collection when I was about 10 years old and have kept it up ever since”—a sentence which certainly gets the President out on a limb. I hope the Republicans don’t take advantage of it. It wouid be too bad to get philately into politics, The Foreword is contributed by Postmaster General Farley, who says he will be very grateful “if your increased interest in stamp collecting makes vou a little prouder of our history.” Mr. Farley better be grateful. Anybody with half an eye can sce the fix Mr. Farley would be in if it weren't for the philatelists.

Exonerating Mr. Farley

As for the book itself, it cleared up a number of things: The fact, for instance, that the U, S. didn't get around to having historical stamps until 1893. Sure, on the occasion of the Chicage World Fair which was supposed to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus. but missed it by a year, The Louisiana Purchase

Brass’ big acreage is now Sun Valley, the spot that turned 8§0,000 ski-tips from St. Moritz to Idaho. With the war turning little Switzerland into an armed camp in a perpetual state of alarm, Sun Valley awaits the opening of the winter season with contented anticipation, chortling to itself at the prospect of being the ski capital of the world after four short years of life. In this respect the Idaho resort is the capstone for the sudden na-tion-wide effort to master the two long slim runners of ash. It is the goal of all enthusiasts, the ne plus ultra of ski-dom and the champion carrying the American colors in the battles for the money trade. But for every man who dreams of hurtling down the slopes from above the timberline in the Sawtooths and of negotiating the slalom trails packed firmly with the dry powdered snow of the

There were a few devotees of the frosty trails but to most of the population snow was something unpleasant that dropped on your neck when you opened the front door. ” ” ”» CO) Zsngiy word came in from the hinterland that there was fun to be had. The Dartmouth winter carnival pioneered and the word spread. Ski runs and trails were cut from the Berkshires to the Sierras. Ski trains puffed out of the cities with men and women and children accoutered in strange costumes, heavy soled boots and skis and ski-sticks, talking a strange language and praying fervently for nothing less than blizzards. Little towns that hibernated from one autumn to the next spring suddenly became scenes of gay activity, with the snow trains carrying hundreds of fun seekers on each run. If it didn’t snow whole communities took on the dour aspects of brokers on Black Friday. When the white stuff came down thick and fast everyone was gleeful. Not every hillside held the beauty of St. Moritz, Davos, St. Anton or Kitzbuhl, but the slopes on Mount Rainier, the White Mountains.

Indianapolis residents have con-

lowest prices seem to be viewed with suspicion by the tributed $3206.63 for the aid of Chinese civilians since the local Chi- an Indiana

nadian National Rallways were boosting travel, and department stores had to turn over space to warm garments, lined trousers, equipment, ski wax and all the impedimenta built around a new sport.

Now the war has dealt the

American winter resorts a win--

ning hand. With the exception of the first rush to warm climes in the South, this phase of travel and touring will reap early profits from the enforced cessation of overseas journeys. The railroads are moving fast to meet the anticipated rush. The New York Central plans snow trains for week-ends and one-day jaunts to 30 different points all the way from Bear Mountain and the Berkshires to the Laurentians above Montreal. The New Haven road has just completed improvements of Mt. Mansfield and many other New England resorts that bring the sport within easy striking distance of the metropolitan skier, x = = HE two Canadian railroads offer greatly expanded service to the Laurentian Mountains. Within the orbit of the Canadian Pacific line there are 1000 miles of ski trails where the week-end skier may leave the train at any point and ski downhill from town to town along the way and then board any evening train back to Montreal. Last season the C. P. R. carried 270,000 ski passengers and for the coming season more than 200,000 are expected. Lac Beauport, near Quebec, is ready for 50,000 skiers. Shawbridge, St. Jovite and Lac Tremblant, St. Sauveur, Morin Heights and Rawdon are all within easy reach of the two large Quebec

cities. Enthusiasts who wish the deeper snows and charming surroundings of the habitant areas in this section can get to Mon=treal in 10 hours from New York. There are de luxe trains and coach trains so that the wealthy and the average income sportsman may enjoy the snow together. Ski-tows are going up in the Laurentians to make the climbs as painless as possible and new trails are being cut out of the woods and marked for the tourists who cannot visit the Alps. Closer at hand are the fine trails on Mt. Mansfield and Smuggier's Notch, at Stowe, Vt. a spot where snow is plentiful even when Canada’s highlands are bare. Lake Placid, the famous winter resort of the East, has the Olympic jumps and the only bobsled run in the state. Conservation Department men drive the bobs down the runs for you in one of the lustiest, most breath-tak-ing sports known in King Winter's realm.

N the Herkimers the advanced skier can shoot down the dangerous run at Mt. Greylock, Adams, Mass., correctly known as the Thunderbolt. In the Litchfield hills of western Connecticut are other spots that have their sturdy supporters, and North Conway, N.

A few hours out of New York lies the Pocono hills region of eastern Pennsylvania, and no one who has skied or gone for sleigh rides there or stayed at the Buck Hill Falls Inn, where evenings are spent around great log fires, will

think again of lost opportunities for travel abroad, With these resorts almost at his doorstep the man with a modest income can do the things and go to the places where only the wealthy played a short time ago, Special low fares on trains or swift plane travel cutting down other expenses; bus travel at unusually low rates and reasonable lodgings are available everywhere. But if you do not mind where the chips fall or if you want to splurge there is Jasper Park, high in the Canadian Rockies, Mount Rainier, Sun Valley and other resorts that offer every facility known abroad. The Jasper run, on the slopes of Whistler Mountain, laid out by Swiss professionals, is three miles long with a 4600-foot drop in that short distance. There are practice slopes and slalom hills with easier courses for beginners and inter= mediate classes. Ed ” ” T Sun Valley, that amazing jack-in-the-beanstalk among winter resorts, a fourth ski-lift— one of the longest in the world-— is being built up Bald Mountain. At its highest point it will be 9200 feet above sea level, two miles above the point where the skier steps aboard the lift with its new ly designed wind-breaks and foot rests. There will be an ice skating carnival at Sun Valley on Christmas Day and following that will come intercollegiate ski and skating meets, international contests and other attractions. Dotted among the Sawtooth Hills are chalets that put skiing at this resort within the reach of nearly everybody. These hostelries of 20 rooms each, with four com-~ fortable bunks to a room, offer the skier lodging for only $1 a night. It is a strange place, this old grazing land of Ernie Brass’. Snow lies on the slopes all winter, dry and powdery, although the sun often runs the temperatures up to the 90's and skiers plunge down the runs naked to the waist, There are swimming pools with heated water, great hotels with mammoth fireplaces — everything the vacationing skier could want. Everything, in facet, that is necessary to take the laurels away from the Alpine resorts, everything to lure the American and his neighbor from the Western Hemisphere and make him forget: that elsewhere the war clouds have no silver lining.

My Day

WASHINGTON, Thursday—One of the groups of people which the present situation in Europe has sent to seek shelter on our shores includes many outstanding artists from different countries. A group of people headed by Mrs, Anna Case Mackay, is sponsoring a concert for the benefit of the refugees who are in need of aid. This concert will take place in Carnegie Hall on Monday evening, Dec. 18. While many people attending it will feel that they are contributing to a worthy charity, at the same time, if music gives them pleasure, they will have a very pleasant evening. Yesterday I received a very interesting letter from a Mr. Segal of South Norwalk, Conn., who tells me that for some time past he has been acting as a one man employment agency. When he could not employ people in his own business, he has had them fill out questionnaires and, with his personal letter, has sent that question naire to a number of people. Sometimes he has writ ten to friends, sometimes to acquaintances who he felt might have an opening. In this wav he has succeeded in placing a great many individuals. This is an example of what one man can do. A community can do it also and the same procedure could :

Worth the Trouble

Use of wire-tapping to gather evidence for crimi-| nal trials is a matter of policy. Congress has enacted | a flat prohibition against all wire-tapping, and t he cases before the Supreme Court this week involved secondary questions. The Court refused to sanction even indirect use of evidence obtained through wiretapping and it held that the Congressional prohibition extended as well to intrastate telephone conversations. | These Supreme Court decisions, plus the recent invalidating of municipal handbill ordinances which were | indirect suppressions of free speech, emphasize the] protections which are still throan around the indi-| vidual in America. The spirit of the Bill of Rights is being maintained. If sometimes we are maintaining it to a fault, as respects criminals. it may be worth that price in order to hold fast to a priceless heritage which is almost unique to America,
