New Kitchen Brings Average From 20 Cents to 6 Cents Meal, Chief Says.

The cost of feeding prisoners at the City Jail averaged 6 cents a meal last year, compared with 20 cents a meal in 1938, Safety Board records showed today.

The cost was reduced through the installation last year of a kitchen at the jail which furnished 29,600 meals during the year at a total cost of $1240. In 1938, a total of 22793 meals were served at a cost of $4558.60. Prior to installation of the kitchen, jail food was supplied by a caterer. The actual cost of food supplies last year was $340. This was less than the cost of supplying food to prisoners by the catering method during the month of June, 1938. In addition to the food costs, $300 in wages were paid a cook last year, bringing the total expenditures for the year to $1240. Police Chief Michael F. Morrissey said that the food, while not fancy, is adequate for the prisoners since they do not remain in the jail more than 48 hours. The diet consists of coffee’ and a sweet roll for breakfast; a bowl of soup, two slices, of bread and coffee for lunch, and the same for the evening meal.

By Institute of Public Opinion PRINCETON, N. J, Jan. 10.—As the year 1940 slid down the runways this week a vast number of American women—bankers and bookkeepers, housewives, debutantes and shopgirls among them — paused

briefly to chalk up New Year's reso-

lutions. If you made a resolution your - self, you are one of a throng of about 20,000,000 adults who made at least one ‘resolve” for 1940, according to the estimates of the American Institute of Public Opinion. And if all these resolutions are carried into effect, the 'Institute’s New Year's survey indicates, there will be a great wave of increased saving “for things that matter,” a sharp dip in the consumption of liquor and tobacco, and a noticeable improvement in the American disposition during 1940. The Institute asked a cross-sec-tion of men and women throughout the country: “Are you going to make any New Year’s resolutions?” Those who said “yes” were asked to list them. On one goal there was consider-

NEW YORK, Jan. 10 (U. P).— Liselotte and Kurt were lovers—in fact, newlyweds—but ‘the Federal law looked the other way yesterday when she begged that they be re-

united.

Liselotte, nee. Kurt— Second Officer Hinsch of the scuttled German liner Columbus— met in Vera Cruz, Mexico, before his ship undertook to run the British blockade last month. They were married, and two weeks later Liselofte, pired, had to return to her Weehawken, N. J., home. Then, on Dec. 19, the Columbus was scuttled 400 rniles off the Atlantic Coast to cheat a British warship and the crew, including Kurt, was landed at Ellis Island. Under the rules, Liselotte, browneyed, brown-haired could visit her husband at Ellis Island but she wanted his release. “I want_him at home,” she wailed outside the Federal Court room. Attorney George C. Dix undertook to get Hinsch released on a writ of habeas corpus. He told Judge Murray Hulbert he had learned in Washington that the Departments of Labor had determined the disposition of the Columbus’ crew but were withholding announcement of it to. put pressure on the German Embassy to {finance transportation home. He said that the German seamen were “entitled to shore leave” in the meantime. While Mr. Dix argued Liselotte, her eyes brimming with. tears, sat at counsel taple holding hands with her ruddy-cheeked Kurt. Judge Hulbert heard Mr. Dix out and then dismissed the writ “without prejudice.” “As soon as you have heard of-

ficially from

Labor,” he said, to this court and renew your appli-

cation.”

Mr. Dix argued vehemently, but Judge Hulbert finally silenced him | with “not another word.” Liselotte was no longer able to] . restrain her tears. As the seaman was led away, she murmured brok“Auf wiedersehen.”,
