Itegardlng what hns been done to
fdl the need for new prisons, the re­
port says:
"The most urgent need was for nn
adequate and appropriate Institution
for the Incarceration of female offend­
ers against the laws of the United
State». The federal government never
has had any Institution of Its own In
which to Incarcerate female । rlsoners.
It always hns been necessary to rely
upon the good will of thw states to
secure accommodations for this class
of prisoners, Few, If any, however,
had sufficient nnd desirable accommo­
dations. This situation was met by
the passage on June 7, 1921, of a bill
which embodies the best thought of
practical penologists. Tie law pro­
vides for the establishment of an In­
dustrial reformatory rather than a pen­
itentiary. The women will be segre­
gated Into classes, according to age
nnd past criminal record. The disci­
pline will be correctional nnd designed
to prevent the Inmates from becoming
hardened criminals.
"Hardly less urgent was th<? need
for nn Institution for the Incarcera­
tion of the young man who had com­
mitted his first offense. It has been
necessary to Incarcerate these young
offenders with old nnd hardened crlml-
nals. A bill was Introduced In con­
gress provld’ng for the establishment
of n reformatory for first offenders be­
tween the ages of seventeen and thirty
yenrs. It passed the house and It Is
hoped fhnl It will puss the senate nnd
soon become a law.

completed the government for the first
time In Its history will be equipped for

Washington, D. C—The geography

letin from the Washington (D. C.)
headquarters of the National Geograph­
ic society. "Formerly the women of
the United States drew upon the more
sophisticated countries of Europe for

alter their appearance for better or

‘made in America complexions.’ and

“The big three in the world of cos­
metics are powder, rouge and cream;
and of these stand-bys of the feminine

about *2,500,000 worth annually. This
probably is close to the value of the
imports of these specific substances,

"Face powders and rouges are large­

no other facial feature has been per­
mitted to escai>e the cosmetic special­
ist. There are henna and otlwr washes
for the hair, eyebrow pencils, lipsticks,
lash pastes, and ‘shadow’ coloring for
eyelids. In addition the well appointed
cosmetic shop offers hand lotions, and
nail polishes and enamels, and such
general cosmetics as skin foods, com­
plexion clays and sunburn removers.
"Henna is extracted from the leaves
of an Egyptian plant. The coloring
matter of eyebrow pencils and lash
pastes may be India Ink or coal-tar
dyes. Most lipsticks are made of
greases stiffened with beeswax and
colored with carmine or safflower. The
majority of the hand lotions and van­
ishing creams contain glycerin, of
which the United States produces
ample quantities. Nall polishes usual­
ly contain tin oxide and nail var­

gums, mostly Imported. The ingredi­
