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. .
Nothing gives quite so much com
fort as snowing when lolka drop tn

REFUSAL TO SALUTE
FLAG IS CAUSE OF
L
COLUMBUS. 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.

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.

WHAT PLEASES IS THEIR FRESHNESS, DELICACY AND FLAVOR
Pantry-raiders acquire a "nose" for SNOW FLAKES. The
salty tang and delicate flakiness of snow FLAKES delight
the most fastidious appetites make cheese, soups and other
foods taste so much better.
When you buy SNOW FLAKES from your grocer, you get
FINER INGREDIENTS. Extra shortening and only choicest
blends of flour are used. Expert bakers then insure a cracker
that defies any quality comparison test.
SPEEDY DELIVERY. From nearby National Biscuit Company
bakeries they come. Every triple-wrapped carton retains the
fresh-from-the-oven flavor of SNOW FLAKES.
SUGGESTION OF THE WEEK
It's no trick to have intri
guing little appetisers if you
keep jars of spreads, in the
refrigerator. Arrange on large
plate or tray with plenty of
critp-crunchy Snow Flakes.
