The Right Way to Redye Fine Silks Textile makers al- Z\ ( at ways use special (w.l JS. dyes for silk or wool. Ur gli vs! They know that is TJUHI the best way. The Iwk £ makers of Diamond Dyes are the first to InDaVjV' enable home dyers to follow this plan. Next time you want to dye some of your more valuable articles of silk or wool, try the special Diamond Dyes in the Blue Package. They will give these materials clearer, more brilliant colors than any “all-purpose” dye. And they are just as easy to use as ordinary dyes. Like the white package Diamond Dyes, these dyes contain abundance of the highest quality anilines. The blue package dyes silk or wool only; the white package dyes, or tints, any material.

Most Prisons Now Are Overcrowded

Find Deplorable Conditions in State and Federal Institutions. New York.—Prison conditions tn the United States, which fail to reflect credit upon our American system ot justice, are reported upon at length in the Handbook of American Prisons, which will shortly be issued by the National Society of Penal Information. the general committee ot which includes a number of notable citizens in the field of education, science, politics and civic administration Overcrowding and idleness are the twin evils of American prison administration. according to Paul W. Garrett, editor of the Handbook, and executive secretary of the national society. “Overcrowding is not a new thing in American prisons,“ says Mr Garrett. “but apparently at nd time in the history of the country has it been so serious as at present, in a few states, it is true, the population has shown little or no increase since 1910, but in most of the states a marked increase in population is noted. /Overcrowding in rhe federal prisons lit Atlanta and Leavenworth is now over Hki per cent of the capacity of the institutions. Jefferson City, Mo.; Columbus, Ohio; Jackson, Mich., and San Quentin. Calif., all are seriously overcrowded, and the same condition may be found to a greater or lesser degree in the institutions of a majority of the more populous states. Doubling Men In Cells. “This over-population is met in various ways: in many cases it means housing two men in cells too small and improperly ventilated for one; in a few institutions, in addition to double-deck bunks in cells originally intended for one man, a mattress is placed on the floor of the cell for a third inmate. In Walla Walla. Wash., in addition to doubling-up in the cells, many of the men are locked tn for over twenty hours a day as there is no work for them to do. Such a state of affairs aggravates every problem of sanitation and puts an intolerable strain on the physical and mental health of every man so confined. In many of the states temporary dormitories have been developed, some of which are fairly satisfactory as temporary expedients. In Michigan City, Ind., there are one or two of this type, but in the warden’s report the attention of state officials is called to the need for permanent housing facilities. “In connection with overcrowding two points should be emphasized. The federal government and many of the states have passed new laws which inevitably increased prison population, but no accompanying legislation was enacted to provide adequate bousing With the increase of population in many states a corresponding increase in prison population might have been expected and provision made for It; failure to do this, as well as to provide for the increase in population due to new legislation, has created the unparalleled condition of overcrowding to be found in so many states. “It is interesting to note that In many states the overcrowding has been aggravated by a very conservative parole policy. The last published report of Jefferson City, Mo., indicates that approximately 50 per cent of the men committed during the past year had never had previous sentences of any kind, and about 50 per

ANCIENT LEGEND STARTS SEARCH FOR PIRATE GOLD

Expedition to Seek for Mystery Ship Said to Be Sunk Off the Coast of Oregon. Portland. Ore.—The quest of pirate gold and the spirit of adventure has beckoned to the sands of the Pacific ocean near Manzanita, Ore., a group of men who will attempt to solve one of the west coast’s mysteries. Upon the side of Neahkahnie mountain and in the sands of the beach they will dig for a “mystery” ship and a treasure said by Indian legends to have been buried more than two hundred and fifty years ago by the vessel’s crew. Many interesting “bedtime stories” have been related about the Neah kahnie mountain mystery. The most authentic of the legends state that the strange vessel was the Spanish ship *San Jose, which .left La Paz. Lower California, laden with

cent were serving sentences of two years or less. This would suggest rhe possible use ot parole power to reduce the grave overcrowding, but tn place of a liberal use of parole power in Missouri, and in practically every other state where overcrowding has been so serious, the parole authorities have made the situation more serious by a conservative policy dictated apparently by timidity. In not a single state have the parole authorities had the courage to advise the people of the state that until proper bousing facilities were provided for the inmates of penal institutions a careful hut free use of their authority would be exercised in order to relieve conditions of overcrowding in part at least. “The effects of overcrowding are noticeable in every department but probably in no other is the effect more serious than in industries. In many institutions the industries were entirely inadequate for even the proper capacity of rhe institution and the increase of recent years has meant a corresponding increase in idleness. Many institutions try to distribute the work as far as possible by assigning to every detail a large number of men in excess of the particular need. This of course does not increase the efficiency of work done, but does cut down the number of mm who are completely idle.” Figures compiled by the National Society of Penal Information show the prison population of federal and state institutions, in most cases as of January, 1929. as 124.783. Idleness In Prisons. Reporting on idleness, the Handbook of American Prisons continues: “In the prisons of many states, there is a considerable number of men to whom it is not possible to give any work. This number varies from a few hundred to a thousand or more, and in Columbus, Ohio, it is sometimes approximated at 2.009. The tendency in former years on the part ot officials to cover their problem of idleness has largely disappeared and by every possible means they are now calling it to the attention of people in their state. “Officials realize probably better than does anyone else the demoralizing effects of idleness on the inmates not only during their term of imprisonment, but after their release. There is certainly no more pressing a problem involved in the penal system of the various states than the devel-

mission supplies for San Diego, June 16, 1679, and which was never again heard from. The San Jose carried a cargo of beeswax, which might account for the beeswax found on the beach near the wreck during the last two centuries. But the most fascinating of the legends is the one related to early Oregon pioneers by the Indians. They told the first white men who settled on the coast that three vessels met in battle off the shore line. Two of them were sunk. The third, a pirate vessel, manned by Orientals or Spaniards, was driven ashore and wrecked. Before the ship was destroyed by the pounding waves the crew carried a chest to a point on Neahkahnie mountain and burled it. Before covering the treasure with earth the swarthy men murdered a negro member of their crew and placed his body on top of the chest, according to the

Ship Rams Whale; Backs to Get Free Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.— Ramming into a whale so hard that it was necessary to stop the ship and go astern to free the carcass was’the experience of officers of the steamer Yarmouth recently. At 4 a. m. Second Officer Prime, on the bridge, felt a jar shake the ship, it was much as if the Yarmouth had slithered into a huge muck bank, but the ship kept moving forward. With the aid of powerful lights officers saw the black bulk of the mammal, some 50 feet in length, firmly fixed to the bow. As the ship stopped and backed the body of the whale rolled over on its back and drifted away.

opment of a satisfactory system of industries. “Prisoh labor was originally imposed as an aggravation of the punishment Involved in imprisonment. But the economic motive of reducing or covering the cost of prison maintenance, and the social aim of industrial training, have been Id the ascendant for many years, resulting in the general acceptance at present of both the economic and social purpose of prison labor. This general acceptance of the purposes has not carried with It any agreement as to the method by which these purposes are to be achieved.” PriS'jn-Made Goods. “The problem was serious enough even before the recent increase in prison population and federal legislation affecting the shipment of prisonmade goods. The Hawes-Cooper bill, recently enacted, is designed to make it possible for each state to determine the conditions of the sale of prison-made goods shipped into the state, as they have previously determined the distribution of goods made in the institutions of the state. While this bill does not become operative until about 1933 it means that al) of the states using the contract system in whole or in part, and those on rhe state account basis, must make a substantial readjustment in their indud* tries. It will not affect the few states now exclusively on the state-use basis, hut It is in some of these states that Idleness is most prevalent. “There are comparatively few states in the country in which the question of prison industries does not call for most careful consideration in the immediate future.”

legend. Indian superstition regarding the dead prevented the braves from Investigating the buried treasure and is perhaps one of the reasons it was unmolested during the succeeding years. The quest for the treasure has been heightened by the mystery of strangely marked stones found on the mountainside. which apparently point to the spot where the treasure is buried. For several years Inhabitants of the beach have been able to see the ribs of the vessel. They were made of teakwood. But shifting sands during the last three years have covered the last remains of the “mystery” vessel. E. M. Cherry, British vice consul at Astoria, Ore., has tentative plans under consideration for raising the vessel and also for making a search of the mountain in an attempt to find the treasure.

Storing Spuds to Improve Quality Increase Demand for Crop by Proper Winter Conditions, Says Expert. Store your potatoes properly and increase their eating quality, advises Prof. E. V. Hardenburg. of the department of vegetable gardening at the New York State College of Agricul. ture. In order to obtain better prices every potato grower should be care ful to improve the eating quality of potatoes and increase the demand for them. This can be done by proper storage conditions, says Professor Hardenburg. Cure New Potatoes. Freshly dug potatoes are subject to skinning and bruising, which may result in enormous shrinkage from water loss and decay. To avoid this, cure new potatoes by letting them stand a few hours in the open before placing them in storage. This allows the sur face to dry and harden and thus become resistant to possible bruising tn later handling. Furthermore, bruised tubers will keep better if they are not stored ’immediately at low temperatures. From 38 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit is the best storage temperature, according to Professor Hardenburg. Temperatures below 36 degrees Fahrenheit are likely to result in some accumulation of sugar and a sweetish taste in the tubers. To prevent sprouting, the temperature should be kept below 41 degrees Fahrenheit. Use Moderate Humidity. Use a moderate humidity, advises Professor Hardenburg. He recommends a humidity of from 85 to 90 per cent since it will prevent condensation of moisture on the tubers and the walls .and celling of the storage room, and at the same time' will also prevent drying of the tubers. Ventilation is important to remove foul air and moisture which may be given off by the stored tubers. Darkness is also essential. Tubers exposed to light turn dark and become bitter. Asphaltic Coating for Silos Quite Efficient Asphalt is one of me best coatings ! for stopping leaks in silos and watertanks, but this has been handicapped J by the fact that the walls must be dry ■ and fairly warm if the asphalt was to make a good bond. There is now on I the market an asphalt coating which I can be applied to a wet surface, so that the silo can be coated on the inI side a few feet at a time as the silo is filled. Apparently the bond is just as strong as with the ordinary asphalt 1 applied to a dry surface. This property of adhering tightly to a damp surface is also important in stopping h leaks in tanks and cisterns, as it is a fact that this type of asphalt does not i make the water taste or smell. Cover on Strawberries Best After Hard Freeze Strawberry plants are usually best covered after the ground freezes hard. A moderate mulch may be put on even before that between the rows, but the tops should not be covered enough to bury them deeply, otherwise they are very sure to smother out during the winter. The great object of covering berries is not to protect them from the bold, as they will stand this without difficulty, but to prevent rhe freezing and thawing of early spring, which throws the roots of the plants out of the ground. If the bed is kept ; covered it does not thaw until the time for growth to start, so this danger fs overcome. Covering also retards blooming early, so that the tlow- ■ ers are killed by frost. Agricultural Hints I Alfalfa requires a fine, firm seed- ■ bed for good germination of the seed j and rapid growth of the seedlings. The whole question of the eradiI cation of w;eeds by the use of chemicals is still in the experimental stage. • • « One of the essentials of a good sile is an impervious wall, one which will exclude air and retain the moisture in the silage. « * • Only reliable sources of seed potatoes are dependable. Growers should demand disease-free stock for their spring planting. * * • Vacant lots are frequently a source of foul weed seed. Weeds and grasses should be kept mowed on vacant lots so that they will not produce seed. • * • E. S. Savage of the animal husbandry department of Cornell university says that one of the best investments on a dairy farm is to give extra grain to good cows. * * • Mudholes, manure piles, swamps. ■ and the muddy banks of streams in the pasture help to deposit a lot of bacteria on the teats, udders, and adjacent parts of cows. * • • “Safe.” “sure,” and “cheap” are terms which may be applied to dairy cows when home-raised, provided they are of good breeding, from healthy cows, and well grown. • • * There is no other fruit crop that carries with it so much psychology as does the dewberry. That it is a profitable crop few will deny, that few’ like to grow it, is also well known. • * • Crown gall is particularly severe in the root-grafted nursery on account of the fact that galls are very commonly associated with the callus formations which result from root graft Ing. • * • In a favorable season, that is a fall when there is ample moisture, sod land broken, well disced and seeded immediately to sweet clovei would /ery likely make a stand.

High Praise Conveyed in Three Short Words Dr. William A. Muhlenberg, who founded 'he Church of the Holy Communion in New York, is claimed by a correspondent of The Churchman to be the author of the world's shortest sermon. The occasion was the burial service for one of his trustees. He gave out his text, Micah 6 :S, which reads “He hath shewed thee, Oh. man, what. is good ; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly' with thy God*’” His sermon was, “He did this.” Recently The Churchman expressed the belief that a sermon by a Catholic priest in Toronto during the hot weather this summer was the record holder for brevity. That sermon, however, ran to 100 words. Mystery Making fun of the present-day modes for women is a favorite indoor and outdoor sport, but it has remained for a clergyman to put out one of the prize bons mots of the season. Rev. W. E.
