Mt. Zlon Club Meets
At 3 o'clock, Thursday afternoon,
April 16, Mrs. Joe Marshall entertained
tUo Mt. Zlon Homo Demonstration
Club at her home for their monthly
meeting. Mrs. Paul Brown, president,
presided, and opened -with the singing
of "There's a Home In My
Dreams." Miss Eva McCoy conducted
the devotional, reading Luke 10:
2!>37, which she followed up with a
short play, "The Neighborhood," asslsted
by the following: "Mrs. Iceberg,"
Miss Virginia Brannon; "No.
1," Mrs. J. B. McCoy; "Miss Frown,"
Mrs. Joe Pate; "Mrs. Sneak," Mrs. W.
1, Hunnicutt'; "Mrs. Stupid," Mrs. Joe
Marshall; "Mrs. Sunshine," Mrs. Henry
P. Belvln; Prayer by MAy^Dralie
Hrannon. The roll call was
with a verse of Scripture and minutes
were read and approved. A short
business session was held and Mrs.
W. L. Hunnicutt read the legislative
laws we're mostly interested in and
these were discussed fully. Our president
urged all members to attend
council meeting. A booth at county
fair was passed with unanimous vote.
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. The hostess, assisted by Miss
Fewell, served sandwiches, cake and
coffee.- Miss Eva McCoy asked an
F.gyptian proverb which is the three
most disagreeable things in the world
and these are*/
"To lie in bed and sleep not.
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.

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. '

Racing drivers wiu not take ~ :~
chances on any tire except a Firestone
Gum'Dipped Tire in the grueling
Indianapolis 500-Mile Race, where its
greater blowout protection has been
repeatedly demonstrated.
Ab Jenkins, the famous driver, used Firestone
GumTlipped Tires on his 3000-mile run over the
Salt Beds of Utah, which he covered in 23Vi hours
?a record of 127 miles per hour. He has driven
more tha&a million miles on Firestone Tires, in
every state in the union, on all kinds of roads, in all
kinds of traffic, without tire failure or accident of
any kind. What a tribute to $afe, dependable,
economical tire equipment.
When you drive at today's higher speeds, your
life and the lives of others are largely dependent
upon the degree of safety built into the tires of your
car. Take no chances?equip your car with new
Firestone High Speed Tires today and be sure of the j
safest driving equipment money can buy.
