Reynolds ignored them and started writing his leads. . Down on the diamond there was a commotion in front of each dugout. The two teams walked out onto the field and grouped themselves in col- umns of fours, The local Street Cleaners' Band blared out its first sour notes of Sousa's "Stars and Stripes." Pop, his arms swinging and his old bow legs churning the field, strode valiantly beside His Hon- or, the Mayor. The men were out of step as they straggled toward the mast, If there is anything as woeful flag raising, it has never been unveil- ed for public gaze. Lefty Higgins and Al Whitper, the opposing pitcher, were the only ones left behind. They kept right on warming up in front of the grand- stand. It was too chilly to risk let- ting their arms cool off, The boys reached center field. The Mayor re- moved his derby and all hands stood at attention as the band played through to the discordant end. The brief ceremonies over, both teams straggled back and the crowd started yelling for action. "Al, here we go," Mullins said with a sigh of relief up in the press box. "His ~honor is going to chuck out the first ball," ¢ The Mayor sent a high one, which Dike Stewart of the Philadelphia out- field grabbed. Finally every one was shooed off the field and there was start. INSTALMENT 2 Lefty Higgins was on the mound tossing them down to Horan, Over at short, Larry Doyle was digging them out of the dirt and firing the ball down. to Schatz on first. The and seemed pretty confident. . Dave Simons, the Philadelphia lead- off man, tossed away three bats be- fore he took his stance facing Lefty Higgins. He was;-a- right-handed batter and one of the best lead-off men in the league. "Ballone." The first was low. and outside. In quick succession came two more balls and then a high foul which hit the screen back of the, plate. The crowd was yelling advice to Lefty. Simons ye a called strike go over, oran walked out toward Higgins and said something, but the next one was a ball and Simons, trotted down to first. Up in the press box, Craven turned to Mullins. "It looks as if Lefty lost his control in Clearwater." "Shut up, you pall-bearer." Terry was busy pounding his machine. . Joe Jacks was up next and he swung at a high one for a foul. The two next were balls and the crowd started to murmur. Was Higgins going to put them in a hole right at the offset? Jacks lined a hard single between second and first and Simons pulled up on third, Over in the dug- out, Pop Clark spat toward the bat rack. Higgins stood out on: the found looking the. situation over. He did not seem 'fo be the least bit ruffled. 20 Doyle moved in a little closer to the grass, The next Philadelphia batter took a healthy cut at two strikes and fouled: them off the stands.

WAKE © PYOUR Modern Prisons Breed Crimes -- Chaplain Says 20 p.c. of -Re- leased Prisoners: Land Behind Bars Again CHICAGO, -- A péiiitentiary chap- lain told the American Prison Asso- ciation congress recently that tne modern _ prison taught convicts how té execute the 'perfect crime." POLICE BAFFLED Education within the prison walls producedmen so skilled in crime they baffled the police, declared Father Eli- gius Weir, Franciscan chaplain of Jo- let, in an address prepared for deliv- ery. These "honor graduates" of the pe: nal system were responsible he sald, for 'the enormous amount of crimes that have never been solved." Voicing the spiritual advisor's view: point for the first time on a prison congress program since the congres- ses began 66 years ago, the priest says "We are assured by statisticians that from 15 to 20 per cent of those released from prisons are recidivists and that from 80 to 856 per cent are never hegrd of again. From this the conclusion is drawn that our methods are successful, R BECOME MORE CAUTIOUS "Before we draw this conclusion we should bear in inind that the man who has paid his price for his ¢rime behind the prison bars will be more cautious of the law, . ' : "I am of the opinion that the enor- mous number of unsolved crimes could be traced to the prison-educated." - - Emphasizing that he was 'certainly not in favor" of abolishing existing. educational methods, Father Weir ad- vocated instead that these methods | be "supplementpd by moral training."

Cushing,probably bet: ter known in London as Miss May Best, has supervised some of these training courses in household work " suggested by these two. representa- tive bodies of women. ] The fourth gourse, concluded. in. the spring of 1936, lasted for three months, and included field work as | well as technical training. Of partie- ular interest in the province of Brit ish Columbia is the fact that the provincial Department of Education. co-operated in these courses, both in Victoria and Vancouver, where the associations have been pioneers. The first course in Victoria -- to: give the early history -- was con- ducted by a committee of volunteer women of the city, most of whom were graduates in domestic science: and had. had practical experience in directing help in the homes. During: the fourth and most recent course, the co-operation of a number of city women was also secured for super vision of practial work in the homes for one day in the week. y One afternoon meeting was held. for these "hostesses" to include them further in the training. Since the girls have graduated, an effort has been made to keep in touch with them through meeting as an alumni group for talks and discus: sions. ] Mrs. 'Cushing, commenting on the course, stated that there had been no difficulty "in placing students cap- able of some responsibility and skill. A Soft Voice and Clear Enunciation Are Important, A harsh, rasping voice, 'coming from a pretty, well-groomed woman, is sure to jolt the nerves of listeners.
