MORE SELF SUPPORTING INSTITUTIONS
V The .idea of" making prisons in the United State3 self
supporting is. growing; decidedly,- J d J
; ' j There are three that are entirely self supporting now
that have.large surplus accounts" in thefr; revolving funds-i-.
the Minnesota, Missouri and Alabama penitentiaries. The
first named has a surplus fund of over, $4,000,000, the second
named of over $9,000,000. ' Th profits I of the Minnesota
prison are afbund; $300,000 a year, althouglr all workers
are paid small daitywages. , . . ' '. i ' ' ' " .
' ? :.The South Dakota penitentiary is approaching, self sup
port; so is the Michigan penitentiary, the Indiana peniten
tiary, and others. The Oregon penitentiary, has fairly en
tered upon a career that will make it self supporting-r- the
.writer believes soon; iperhaps in the present two-yearterm;
most likely in the next biennium, if not in this. ' 1 -

. Now comes the Literary Digest in last week's issue with
excerpts from an article in the Washington Times-Herald by
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., who is a widely known newspaper
, 'correspondent, even though a scion of great wealth, . Follow
inz are quotations from the article of Mr. Vanderbilt:

, . "Picture to yourself, on the banks of the broad Missis-
'- sippia veritable garden- spot, surrounded 'on three sides by
,'' , hih embankments,-on the fourth by beautiful hills, with a
wonderful air of peace and security, and seemingly an ttitude
of contentment; with beautifullyficultivated fields 'stretching
for miles and miles, dotted here and there by little clusters of
long, low white buildings ; and in the center of this peninsula,
a hugefactory-like structure; with; the usual towering black
chimney; and groups of humans everywhere working- indus
triously. All this' is Angola, some forty miles north of Baton
Iioasvthe capital of Louisiana. iAnd this penitentiary, one
, of th a lifetime ambitions of John M.i Parker, Governor, 4s
conducted for making men out of derelicts. And in this mak
ing of men 'it. employs the system of letting those convicts
who throuffhj good work and exceptional service become
trusties, guard themselves. For, although over 1,600 men
are confined at Angola, there are but eleven paid guards in the
camp, and not! a man has been lost in many years, i - ' v- y&;

uniformity of clothing, no prison pallor; all this, a most radical

"Today Angola penitentiary is fast becoming one of the
show prisons of the country. ! Soon it will be known as the
most remarkable institution of its kind in the world. Certain
it is that its plantation will be the largest in the entire South,
and the most fertile. : ' ' M .
"There are 17.800 acres of land within the 'plantation
under cultivation! Of this 6,000 atres are pasture land.and
e,uuu acres sugarcane. . s . :-- t
."The prison is self supporting, with the single exception
of wheat. Over 3,000 head of cattle, 387 miiles, 200 hbrses
and colts and 20,000 fowl are kept within the reservation. !
K The fourth largest sugar refinery south of the Mason
Dixon line is situated in the middle of the institutional levees.
Jn 1921 over 6,000,000 pounds of granulated and 1,000,000
pounds of lump sugar were produced by the convicts at this
refinery. Twelve fpf the largest sugar refinery boilers in
the world are located here, i Five .of t them consume 20,000
barrels of oil per,jnonth." , ' . " "
1 That is surely an inspiring pictmre especially for a state
that, only a few years ago, had a convict system, in common
with most of the states of the South, that was a disgrace to
the section, arid to the -world -a system of, contract prison
labor that was as! bad as slavery; or worse. , t : " '
r Modern penology is making great progress ; going ahead
faster ion the right lines than ever before- and the most
promising of all its advances is in the field of self support for
so many of the penitentiaries of the United States. ;

HELPED BY THE BEES
... . . J . i ' a 1 '-
As lncy played at their sanies
- 'neath fjlie trees, ,
A tramp tried the ' children to
sicxe;
: He miht trsve-succeeded,
But. Lawrence proceeded
To call on the help of the bees.
The boys and girls were playing
In Thayer's side yard. It was a
regular southern garden, Birds
sang sweetly from the-tops of the
trees, i Bright colored flowers
smiled from; every corner, while
bees hummed1 . lazily from flower
lb flowen v. t the mack, of the
garden Against a row of stately
hollyhocks tood the beehives.
They were the old fashioned bee
hives, the kind you seldom" see
now! except in pictures, i ,
j Mrs Thayer came out on the
side -porch i.'Llawrence,, she
called to the largest of the boys,
"I'm going down town. Watch
the little' children. Don't let
them get hurt."
'Lawrence " nodded and smiled.
"You can .trust me, he said. "I
won't let anything happen to
them. 111 - be careful - to 1 keep
them-away from the bees."'
'" For some': time the children
played in the - yard. ' Lawrence,
being the oldest, watched care
fully to see that none of the littler
ones' got hurt. ,They were just
deep in. it; game of "'Blind Man's
Buff1 when he heard a noise be
hind him. Turning quickly ' he
discovered an ugly looking tramp
Coming through the gate. ; : ; t
V "Hello. : my i little man ) he
said. f You,kids5 are all alone,
aint you?'-"' K 7 i 3t; .
Lawrence looked at him. hard.
".Yes, we are," he said, "and
I'd advise you to stay away'
"'Oh, ho, you ain't very friend
ly, are yout" sneered the tramp.
SWell, I ain't used to hospitality,
so I guess 111 just come in any
way. I kinds want to see thii
little girl." ; ;
"Go away!1 cried Lawrence,
running after him, but. the tramp
only shook off the boy' and walked
pver towards the little girl. .
"You're Mayor Frank's tittle
girl, ain't you?" he asked. Mayor
Franks was the richest : man In
the town His little daughter was
frightened. She turned to run.t
but the tramp ran after her;
J Suddenly Lawrence was very
frightened, too. ' What could he
do against that big man? Then,
quock as a flash, he had an jdea.
Turning, he . grabbed rip one of
the beehives and flung It at the
tramp. Hundreds of angry bees
swarmed, ont and over the run
ning man. With a loud howl the
tramp turned and fled out of the
gate.: .Crazed by the stings from
the bees he ran right into the po

a noble ambition. She wanted to

would be unbrotfen for at least a
week. " . , '- 1 '
. It all started over In England, It
appears. Some girl there aston
ished the world by ; dancing .a
whole -hour or : so without stop
ping. Then she had to take sec
ond rthen seventy-second place
for flks who coald really daqce,
until a Scotch girl was heralded
as world's champion with an un
beatable record. She had actual-
ly danced- the clock round twice,
and then some more than twenty-four
hours. -
But, even as she was1 being pho
tographed, j so "that her pictdr3
might be placed on every package
of Scotch oat's to prove how much
pep and vigor come from them,
another Scotch girl danced1 thirty
hours. a ;
Not.- till then, to judge by dis
patches, did America really be
come interested. But, as soon as
that thirty-hour stunt was cabled
to this land of champions, a New
York girl broke it. ' Then a Cleve
land salesgirl, used to being on
her feet all day and dancing all
night, put all European competi
tion out of the running by tripping
the more fantastic than .light- for
fifty-three 'hours, plus. - And - so
