4 1 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1939. PAGE SEVEN PER CAPUA COS! AT PRIM DELICIOUS CAKE RECIPES BIT OF FUN ON COLLEGE THESIS Annual Average Outlay For Each Convict Is $240.55 Now; Record High $468. By Victor Dallaire (U. P. Staff Correspondent.) Salem. (UP) Population at the state penitentiary has been steadily increasing, but per capita cost of keeping the pris oners has declined considerably the last few years, a study of prison records shows. From the time that records were first kept, in 1868. the average number of convicts has risen as the population of the state has increased. From 1868 to 1878 the average number of convicts was 106, the next ten years showed an average of 226 and from 1918 to 1928 the aver age was 443. For the first two months of the current biennium the daily average was 1.029 pris oners. The gross expenditure, exclu sive of capital investment, for the present year is expected to be near the half million mark. The food bill at the institution amounts to $126,000 a year, the clothing adds $48,000, medical costs total $6,700 annually and the service expenses (light, heat, guards' pay, etc.) are $224,000. Equipment for the state farms cost the state another $42,000 and the rest of the total is for miscellaneous expenditures. Convicts Produce. The per capita cost is $240.55 a year, roughly 66 cents a day, a sum considerably lower than many previous costs. The rec ords show that the lowest per capita cost in the prison's his tory was for the period between 1882 and 1884 when the state expended only $97.80 per year for each convict's keep. The cost mounted after that until the all-time high of $468 was reached in 1918-1920. Since then the per capita costs have been halved. The convicts produce about $80,000 worth of farm products on the state farms annually. Most of this is used by the peni tentiary although sim is distrib uted to the other state insti tutions. Profits from the flax Industry, which employs a large part of the prisoners, are turned over to the state general fund The convicts aid in cutting down the cost of operation by running several departments, The tailor shop, shoe shop, laun dry, print shop and barber shops are all operated by convicts. All cooking and maintenance work Is done by the prisoners. .

Ohio (UP, What this country neds. believe young Dr. Horace Champney of Ant loch college. Yellow Springs, Ohio, U a sense of humor. A Joke made tn a faculty publica tion at Ant toe h has brought him a lot of grief because some people can't see the point. It seems Dr. Champney received his doctor of philosophy degree at Ohio State with the aid of a thesis on the plainly-stated subject. "Measure ment of Parent Behavior as Part of the Child's Environment." A college publication at Antioch called "Faculty Notes" carried a com ment by Champney himself on "the birth" of the thesis with the remark that It title night be translated: "A disquisition on the quasl-ln stltuttonal psychometry of certain psycho-social environmental Oastal ten postulated to be casually effica cious in the ontogen of generalized social behavior patterns of the adult homo sapiens." Then trouble came. A national magazine Informed its readers that Champney actually had chosen such a subject for his thesis and carried Its article under the title, How to Become a Ph.D." A newspaper opened an editorial attack, belaboring not only Champ ney, but Ohio State university and It psychology department. Its lead was followed by other papers throughout the country. Of Champney the paper said he "can't even talk English" and recom mended that the Ohio State author ities "Investigate the mentality of a psychology staff that can be im pressed with such idiotic nonsense as this." The comment . has been acutely embarrassing for Champney. espe cially since he agrees with the edi torial writers on verbose thesis titles. COURT HOUSE . NEWS Marriage Licenses. Kenneth B.

AGED, PARALYZED LADY BURNS IN WHEEL CHAIR Palouse, Wash., Oct. 27 (?) Mrs. Ida Cathcart, 80year-old invalid, died today in a fire which enveloped the wheel chair from which she was unable to move. Fire Chief N. R. Couchman said the fire probably was started by an overheated elec tric pad placed among the blan kets of the partly paralyzed wo man. She was dead when as sistance arrived. Mrs. Cathcart lived with a son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Abernathy. The el derly woman was sitting in an upstairs room away from the family when the fire started. SECAUCUS. N. J. (UP) Ten-year old Vivian Herlng. a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses sect, will have to be educated tn private schools unless she abandons at least one teaching of the cult and salutes the American flag. The girl, whose sister Alma re fused to salute the flag four years ago In a case that received nation wide attention, was barred from pub lic school here when she tried to enroll at the start of the school term. At first she was accepted as a pupil by a teacher who did not know of the "Hering case." When she was informed, however, she called the child before her and asked Vivian if she would salute the flag. The 10-year-old replied that she would not and was dismissed. Alma Hering was married last Au gust and has made no apparent ef fort to return to school. She Is 18. The father of the girls Is John Hering, a carpenter. The Hering case went to the su preme court which refused to pass on the constitutionality of the New Jersey state law requiring the salute.
