F RENCH VISION NSURANCE FARMERS if PARIS (UP) The French pur. -.liument has under consideration Hthree projects to provide farmors with a bad-weather dole. Too heavy rains, or not enough, long, dry flpells which burn the fUldH, mildew, gales which tear off roofs or flood which carry off llvcHtock, are all to he fol lowed by immediate cash pay ment. ' The plan calls for the creation of a national fund for agricultu ral calamities, and the word ca- larnatlos covers all a tin oh ph eric accidents. It Is proposed that tho farmers Join a mutual Insur ance group, with which the na tlonal government would co-operate and advance money. . ' Hitherto, parliament has voted relief credits on the occasion of Important floods and cyclones, ox tending the relief to thff colonies. ., Small atmoHphcrlc calamities, however, never obtain the govern ment's relief aid, and It Is to aid these sufferers that the national fund Is designed. ' Last year parliament voted money for tho victims of the Ga ronne flood, the worst In French history. Credits of 26,000,000 francs wore also opened for the yictlms of the Fourvleres landslide at Lyons, due to continued ruins. Two million francs are also ear marked In tho current budget for relief of farmers suffering crop damage. ' ' . . ", ' STORY 1 (Ooatlaaed From Pace Oh) probation And parole." . Under the proponed system all prls onora would be paid wageN, their treatment would be more humanized. t,he ohooslng of prison officiate would be removed from politics, and guards would bo trained apectfteally for their taak. It was advocated that "no man ' should be sent to a penal Institution until it Is definitely determined that he Is not a fit subject for probation." iBxtenston of the parole system also was urged as the "beat means yet devised for releasing prisoners from confinement." ; Parole System Joke - Nevertheless, the . commission as serted the present system of parole, In most sections, was little more than "a huge Joke." It scored the Jooso supervision of paroles, which in 18 atfttos- was carried on by corre spondence, making It "easy to beat the game." Discussing conditions within tstlng prisons, the report said Vie overcrowding In federal Institutions '.during 1030 was 86 0 per oont more than capacity, and that In the sys tem as a whole was "probably worso tban It ever has been." . . ; . It said well over one-third of all the major prisons In the country Were between 70 and 100 years old and that 21 per cent of them were without plumbing. Many of ti'io cells bow housing two men are so smull. the report asserted, that the air would i lave . ta be . ohenged every three or four mlnutea to prevent ob jectionable odors. ... !' i Oregon CrlttolMd " Some of the Institutions specifical ly criticised were the state prison In Oregon, the Charleston prison In Massachusetts, the Auburn and Clln ton prisons in New York, tho Folsom prison In Oalfornla, ant) the old iprlson at Jollet, III. S In the fsoe of such conditions, the commission said, "unemployment jadds a burden and strain upon both .the prison administration and the Inmates which becomes almost Intol erable." It cited some instances In whlo't men were kept In their cells almost 84 hours a day, and others where they were made to alt on benches In a loft from breakfast until noon and from noon uutll supper, simply tor lack of work. ''Mentioning the rtota at Folsom. .the Colorado state prison, Columbus, Leavenworth, Jefferson City, Mis souri, Auburn, and Clinton, the com mission said In general that If the prisoners were unnecessarily Irritated "then no amount of discipline or cruelty will save the Institution from internal violence, riot, firs and mur der." Five Kiilrlriea It disclosed that after "strictly disciplinary methods" wsre Instituted at Jofferson City, five men commit ted suicide, four were killed by other prisoners and 78 escaped. t Appended to t,he commission's re- ; port was a lengthy study by an ad visory committee of 94 experts among them 6anford Bates, director of federal prisons. It concurred with the commission that the present prison system was falling in Its pur pose of reforming criminals. . , Its recommendetlons was one that prison industry be expanded, to which waa added that such Industry must of necessity come Into competi tion with that of free labor. A third report, prepared by Hast ings H. Hart, chairman of the com mittee, condemned the preeent ays tern of police Jails and village lockups as overrun by flll.'i and vermin, as often constituting fire traps In whloh prisoners have been cremate. I. and as the setting for "third degree" methods often accompanied by Ille gal treatment and torture. Nturvatlon Kiel ' ' In the course of Its erltlclsm of conditions In specified prisons the commission reported that In the new Institution at Jollet "men are held In cells on a diet consisting of four ounces of biead and one quart of ;water a day, from a day to a week." If confined for a longer period. It waa added, they are given a full ration one day each week. . While on this restricted diet, the 'Commission said, the men are hand cuffed to a door for about 12 hours a day. It added that a man recently died In the old Jollet prison while held In thla position. Crltlclalng prison unemployment the commission cited as examples "such prisons as Walla Walla In Washington. Auburn and Clinton In New York, the state prison at coium , bus. where for years over a third of the prison population has been kept In Idleness, the prison In Colo rado, the Eastern and Western pi ) -Untlsrles In Pennsylvania, the state prison in Wisconsin, the prisons tn Royalty Flies In Dirigible ' mXmJ j'fi ifai I'V fi'i' lssssssl I.AKKIILItsT, N.

'ine commission said a study of conditions In New York hail revealed that In recent years four guards had committed suicide and ten had gone insane. By Itohhlii i)ii!i, HOLLYWOOD.

HAIRLESS HORSE MAY: FIND HOME IN AMERICA ZOO TOKIO. (UP) Not particular ly noticed by thousands of visitors, a hairless horse has occupied an enclosure in Toklo's municipal zoo In Ueno park for the past so vera I years. A few days ago. Harold J. Coolidge, a Boston lawyer, in Tokio to present Toklo Imperial univer sity a collection of American In dian relics from Peabody mutseum of Harvard university, saw the anl-1 mal. There Is now a chance that It may cross the Pacific to an American zoo. Only three hairlees horses are known outsldo Japan, and even hero they are not numerous. On Tanega island, off the southeast tip of Japan, a man has -beer, breeding them for 40 years. Orig inally 'brought from Korea hy a Japanese Invader more than three centuries ago, hairless homes were common at one time In southern Japan. They died out, though, and the breeder on Tanega island had to start with a single male, which he crossed with an ordinary horse. When Coolidge heard that the breeder had seven or eight more, he suggested to the officials of the koo that they exchange the one they now have with an American zoo for an American bison, which they lack, Hmall in stature, like most horses in the Orient, the animal has a dull black kfn, free of hairs except for Softens Stern Rules I 1 : !
