Mrs Joe Pate told jokes and Miss Geneva Truesdale gave a "style talk" Miss Fewell's subject for the afternoon was "The Cheerful Kitchen," which is the last phase of our home management project In discussing walls and ceilings, a smooth, washable finish is most suitable for kitchens because of being easily cleaned; factors influencing choice of colors being exposure, amount of light and size of room. Furniture and woodwork trim should have same finish for best appearance. The ideal floor is one which is easily cared for and one which is easy on the feet of the worker. Inlaid linoleum well put down, is best. Window outlook from kitchen should be made as attractive ah- possible by the planting of vines, shrubs and flowers to hide unsightly objects. Blooming plants, mint and parsley in window boxes, attractive models of window curtains were passed around for inspection. A rest corner fof the housewife was emphasized and in this an easy chair, table, magazine and bulletin rack and writing material should be placed. After giving the mouths practices Miss Fewell gave each member a lovely wall pocket of i oil cloth for their kitchen for an Blaster gift. 7 . . . 7" ~~~ 7' During the social hour a contest was enjoyed In which Mrs. Joe Pate won after a drawing as several had tied.

To wait for one who comes not, To do your best and please not." Tlie meeting adjourned to meet with Mrs. J. S. Brown on May 21. On the tip of an amAteur detective, who learned hlB sleuthing from a correspondence school, police of Covington, Ky., arrested one Aabury Murff, 36, escaped convict and bank robber. iBP General News Note^ v The governor of Madrid, Spain, announceH the arrest of 16 priests on charges of anti-republican acts. About 300 other* persons have been arrested on similar charges. Senator Frederick Steiwer of Oregon, has been selected as the keynoter for the Republican national convention to be held at Cleveland. Steiwer Is a World war veteran and a middle-of-the-roader" in party affairs. Two men, one a wealthy citizen, the other a state official, fought an hour's duel with sabers at Vienna, as the result of a Quarrel over a young woman. Both men weer bloody at the end of the duel, with neither satisfied. More than 1,600 longshoremen have been ordered back to work at San Francisco, following settlement of a week's $trikd tlibre. Thirty ships were at San Francisco docks waiting to be loaded. Dan "Alabama" Stewart^ 70, started from Long Beach, Cal., Wednesday to ride horseback to New York. He is a survivor of frontier days and doesn't like to ride on trains, in atitos or airplanes, "and it is too far to walk." Alvin Karpis, fugitive in the American underworld, will be worth 65,000 to the officer who captures him, or the person who gives information leading to his arrest. This is the price Uncle Sam will pay for the fugitive. A new tank for the army, developed at the Rock Island Illinois, arsenal, especially for high speed, recently completed a run from Dallas, Texas, to Rock Island, making 1,075 miles in a few minutes over 32 hours of traveling time. The district court at Oklahoma City has dismissed an injunction suit by the city, seeking to prevent the boring of oil wells near the capitol building, on state property. Governor Marland expects to keep his "army" in the state house "war zone" for the present In its final report to the senate the munitions committee, after months of investigation, recommended the complete nationalization of the munitions industry In order to take the profit out of the business. The committee unanimously found the munitions making guilty of promoting wars and profiting thereby. The senate voiced its disapproval in a loud shout of "noes" to the proposal of Senator McKellar of Tennessee, that the appropriation for the Federal G-men be cut from 66,025,000 to 65,800,000. Senator Vandenburg, Republican, said he would be willing to see 175 men less on "the 18,255 staff of Tugwell'8 resettlement administration; Hopkins' staff of 43,641 at the WPA, the staff of 19,548 at the HOLC or the staff of 2,422 at the outlawed NRA or some place else in the present expanded and Gargu&ntuan political monstrosity." BAD MEN'S END "Catch 'em and keep 'em?blot 'em out." Thai la Uncle Bam'a new formula for ending blg-leegu^ crime In this country. ' In the past, gang chieftains like A1 Capone have been able to hold their gangs together eveu while behind the bars, by working through lawyera, relatives aud henchmen, and utllUlng the "grapevine," which bootlega newe in aud out of almost every ordinary prison. Still worse, prisons have become crminal factories, where professional crooks have made habitual criminals of boys seat up for first offenses. So, "Segregate the professional criminals aud blot them out of the news completely," was the plan adopted by the Department of Justice about a year ago. It was a good Idea, but a tough assignment, for no penitentiary had been built in this couutry which could keep the mysterious grapevine from working through prison walls. Then Fred Esola, United States marshal in San Francisco, suggested taking over Impregnable Alcatraz Island ?and converting it into a modern grapevine-proof penitentiary for the most dungerous public enemies. Twelve acres of solid rock, rising 130 feet at high tide out of the heart of San Francisco Bay, whipped on all sides by raging tide currents, Alcatraz met all requirements for Isolating leaders from their gangs. James A. Johnston, a mild-looking and soft-spoken-fatherly sort of person, most of whose adult years have been spent as warden of San Quentln and . Folsom penitentiaries, was selected to manage the stronghold. At a cost of 1300,006 he converted the old army prison of Alcatraz into as nearly escape-proof and leak-proof a penitentiary as Ingenuity, vigilance and locking devices can make a prison. ? When the gangster steps ashore at Alcatraz, he is out of the headlines for duration, of his sentence. So it was with A1 Capone. So, too, with George (Machine Gun) Kelly and hiB friends, convicted for the 1200,000 kidnaping of Charles F. Urschel. So with John Stadig, cleverest of counterfeiters, and with "Whitey" Lewis. Newark post office robber. So with George (Red) Kerr, Mid-West bad man. So, too, with the principals in most of the outstanding crimes of recent years. More than 200 killers, gangsters, kidnapers, racketeers and robbers are included In the "guest list" at Alcatraz, but just who's who only Warden Johnston knows, and he wont mention names. They're "blotted out." Warden Johnston has arranged that uprisings, If there are any, can be handled by remote control. The guards who work in the corridors in close contact with the prisoners carry no arms. But armed guards stand behind heavy steel bars at the 'end of the corridors. Prisoners cannot reach them. Ceiling gadgets that look like fire extinguishers are tear gas receptacles, which may be opened by pressing a button in the main office. Other buttons there will close all doors to cells and corridors. A1 Capone's "room" is like all the others?a concrete cell, five feet by nine, painted bright blue. He has a metal bed which folds against the wait, a wash bowl, a toilet, a wall seat, a towel, tooth-brush and drinklng cup. There Is an electric light, which winks out at 9:30 every evening. His only other accessories are a book, selected from the prison library, and an "old magazine. No newspapers are allowed. Except for time spent at work in the prison shop; at meals and recreation, each prisoner is completely segregated in such a cell. All mall is censored and there are no visitors of any kind ^for anybody. The imprisoned gangster can no longer continue to direct the criminal operations of his confederates outside. Escape is practically but of the question. To reach the outside world a prisoner would have to cut through the one-inch steel bars of his cell, then through similar bars at the end of the corridor, then crash the steel outer gates. Outside, he must scale a 16-foot wall, without the guards seeing him, then finds a place to drop into the water. There are only three spots where a swimmer can dive into the bay at Alcatraz without being dashed to death on the rocky shore. After that comes a swim of a mile and a half in the treacherous tide currents, criss-crossed by churning ferries and swept by powerful searchlights. J To the thousands of commuters on the ferries willed chug past the island dally, Alcatraz, with its bright flower gardens, trees and verdant lawns, is a scene from the Riviera. But to A1 Capone, inside the high walla, it is a grim little cosmos, one without radios, newspapers, automobiles, lacking store of any kind, with no women or children, no animals, a silent universe where a la only a number, and hie personality ends. Alcatraz Is practically a world of ttf*rs, fmguttsu meu, Wotted***.?-?i That, or death, eays Uncle flam ts now bad men's end.
