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. ' '

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

Although condemning many of the
habits and actions of prison guards.
tne report said their lot was a hard
and often uninviting one.
'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.

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
