M.

Aalde- from these about 30 are employed on the farm. In the barns, hog houses, chicken yards and lawn. . : When" Warden Dalrymple took charge. of, the prison on October 8. 1923. Just three weeks after the most ' disastrous fim in the his tory, of the- prison, he. found the flax mill and the furniture , fac tory, the only, two, industries that the prison had. a heap of. ruins. All stock and machinery had been destroyed and only the blackened, tottering -;walla , of th industrial building stood staring nijrf In the face. Winter was coming on and more than 400 men with nothing to do. '-v J' .-'- The 'outlook was anything bnt cheerful and the Warden told Governor Pierce" that ; It - would take at least two years to get the prison back on the same level as before the fire. ' ' " " But hedidnt waltr he secured the services of a first class mech anic; John Quinland:' whom he ap pointed to the 'position' of 'Chief Engineer and ' things ' began' to mov. -; "' " ' '.; .!"-. The brick walls. of the" indus trial bnildings were torn down by the , prisoners and every In mate was put to cleaning bricks to be used in the construction' of new walls." : ; - " Less than 15 months have pass ed and the wreckage that strewed the prison yard has gfcren place to substantial new buildings' in one of which is housed eight . flax breakers and 22 scutching mach ines,, making this the largest flax scutching mill in the world. These machines are all running at pres ent and orders are being received every day - from all parts ' of the country for flax fibre and tow which are being produced " In . greater r quantities than ever be fore. The Warden believes there is a great 'future in western Ore gon for the flax Industry and is Oregon State Penitentiary JL. Dalryropie, Warden house a According to tWarden.

The Warden says there is no rea son why the prison' shoe' shop can not be 5 enlarged with very" little expense enabling it to' turn out shoes and slippers for the' inmates of the other state institutions who now purcnase tnese supplies in the open market. ; This plan, he 'sas, wilralso savVmoney for the tax payers.! v- T """'' " ' ' t.

't All. the 'machin ery connected with this, plant is housed in a concrete building that Is absolutely fire-proof, and which was .built by; the. inmates during the past tyear,- directed iby -Engi neer.

In an Interview, the ."Warden, made xne statement that ,the nearest Governor pierce ever came to dic tating an appointment "at the pri son was when he asked that, ev erything- being equal, ; preference be given those .who served In the f world war i The Warden declares this wish of the governor has been compiled with and that there are at. -this time ten '-.world .War and four Spanish -war veterans now on the prison payroll., j' j:I J, ' . ."Do yon run the prison on the political plan?" the' Warden was asked.. - , :.'- l '- , f VNo. it 'can't be done! " he re plied. ; "I am V democrat and always have been ; but I'm too good an American to: tell an em ploye how he has a Vote, or to exclude him from service here be cause he does not . happen to vote my ticket. I do, however, expect him to be loyal to me, and when I find an employe who is not, .1 begin to look for "one who is. The penitentiary is -out of politics and the present force of, 'employes is Just about equally . divided, be tween democrats and republicans. I want to know that, a man is a good American citizen before 1 1 hire him.; and that is the first question an appllcantf for a po sition is asked. I want to know that he is honest and reliable and that ' he does not ; absorb moon shine." '- There are '462 in 'the Oregon state penitentiary today as against 4 p 9 on Jan.

Warden's, state ment. .'.'- ! - l 'A prison,'' reflected the War den, i, is a queer place;" Every day; we' have comedy' and tragedy here.' I am often disappointed In some man or boy, who serves his time or gets, a . parole j and goes out. and fails to make-good. But at that. . most : of them: do make good, and it is always a source of satisfaction and pleasure to me to know that ! maybe ;If have ' done something to help a boy who has gone astray or said some word to cheer the heart of some mother who comes to visit her son in pri son ; and always beliaves him - In nocent. Aside from this there Is little pleasure, though plenty i of thrills in running a -penitentiary. diseases which now form such a serious menace to the health and happiness of mankind. : ' Some 15 years ago Dr. Mayo, of the famous - Mayo- brothers at j Rochester, Minn..; made the state ment that the next great achieve ment in medicine must be In the field of dentistrj This, says Dr. Pound,-is no longer a prophec, it is a fact. And the greatest step taken during those 15 years has been the ! tracing; of focal - infec tions to the teeth, and mouth So ; rapid is the advancement along all lines of dentistry that the prac titioner can only; keep abreast of tbe times by continual study and frequent, post-graduate work. Dr. Pound states that more than half the time spent In the Army Den tal School was put In on medical subjects, such ' as anticeptics,- bac teriology and immunology.' : I Immunology, he explained, is the science and art . -of making people immune from, disease and infections. 1 j ,r- ; u fiVy, ; 'Dr..: pound combined pleasure and business on this trip.. He was accompanied by his wife and two children and Mrs. : Pound's father; They left Salem f by train for San Francisco.

They then drove up the Hudson ta Albanyi and along the' route of the old Erie Canal to Niagara. Falls. Dr. Pound pronounces Clfvelanld, Ohio, the most modern citf In the United; "States and the most at tractive in its appearance) of un limited wealth as expressed in its vast residential districts, j. i,i From Niagara the party trav elled south to the old National pike again. Followed it through Terre Haute , and Indianapolis to St. Louis." Atf St. Louis the doctor could not refrain from taking an other turn' at post-graduate wors: and so joined a class in Exodon tia. or the extracting ' of .. teeth, under IDr. - Georee ' Winters.

Science has so far determined the laws of hygiene and sanitation In -handling food material and a; knowledge of those laws has become so generally, dif fused In the public mind that pur veyors of food materials have be gun, to vie ;with each other as to whfch may inost fully comply with such known principles of sanlU- tion. , .1; , ;' Manufacturers and dealers alike expend vaai sums In devising- and using methods which protect their products from contamination of any kind or source.-, Mechanical handling wfth sterilized tools and machines has toeen : substituted wherever possible for hand hand ling.
