THE FLORENCE REFORMATORY Plan to Abandon Farm Under j Consideration Columbia, April 15.?A plan for abandoning the agricultural idea at the state reformatory for boys at Florence and substituting in its stead J a system of shops for industrial train ing is being considered by members of the General Welfare Board, in charge of the. reformatory, it is understood here. Whether the plan is carried out will depend in some measure on the findings of the committee now making an investigation of a-ftairs at the reformatory, it is stated. The idea advanced by members of the General Welfare Board is that a majority of the boys sent to the re formatory .are from the towns and cities of the, State, and not from the farms, and that they would accom plish more if taught some line of work with which they are familiar than they do in agricultural courses. This matter will probably be thresh ed out by the General Welfare Board at one of its future meetings. ' The reformatory farm is located near the city of Florence. It was purchased some years ago for approx imately $45.000, it is stated, and there is a mortgage on it for approximate ly 9x5,000. 7 he deed to the propstry is in the nume of the reformatory, which was at one time an incorpora tion, but has recently passed into the hands of the State Board of Correc tional Administration and more re cently into the hands of the General Welfare Board. The investigation now being made at the reformatory is taking into consideration the trans ferring of the title to the property. The board is considering a plan of disposing of the farm and launehing a system of shops and vocational training. The investigation of affairs at the reformatory began last week. Sena tor McColl. of Marlboro, is chairman of the legislative investigation com mittee. Senator Pearce and Repre sentatives Hughes. Bellamy and An derson are the other members. The committee will have its second ses sion within the next ten days. It is stated that TRe situation at the re formatory is not serious, though the financial affairs cf the institution are lot in the best shape. The commis sion is to consider the matter or" dis xibnting money appropriated by the i L920 legislature to cover a deficit. The j lefieit is about $85.000. but only half .hat amount was appropriated to cov ?r it. LITTLE RAILROADS HOLD MEETING Short Line Association Begins Conference In Wash ington Washington.

Get Your Ticket Now Redpath Chautauqua The 100% Program 7BIG 7 Vacation Days j S TAI SHAN A SACREO PLACE Chinese Mountain Said to Be the Oldest Permanent Place-ef Worship en Earth. There are five sacred mountains in China, and the most sacred of ali is Tai Shan, the Great mountain, said to be the oldest permanent place of wor ship in the world. In 2000 B. C; Tai Shan's crest had been a regular scene of sacrifices and prayers for nobody knew how Ion?. Emperors and lesser officials, even Confucius the Wise, journeyed up the long:, narrow trail of Tai Shan to come ne*r to the God of -Heaven and Earth and made their prayers before Him. Since those days of simple worship, many temples and shrines have been built on Tai Shan's slopes. Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, all are repre sented, and there are temples, too, to the Lady of the Mountain, who Is called by some a fairy, by others a goddess, and by others the spirit or soul of the mountain. Whatever her character, the lady is well repre sented on her mountain top and her shrines are popular. The journey up the mountainside is accomplished by the traveler partly in a swinging chair supported by Chinese bearers and partly on foot. The "Way" consists of a granite walk, interrupted every little while by flights of steps which stretch on and on and become steeper and closer together until the pilgrim has "mounted 6,600 steps and the peak of Tai Shan is reached. Here there are more temples and thick incense and grave old priests who announce a pilgrim's presence to the gods by ringing deep-toned bells. A little way off is pointed out a rock overhanging a sheer precipice. From this rock, called "The Rock of the Love of Life," persons who had sick rela tives used to fling themselves, hoping that the sacrifice of one life would appease the gods so that the other would be spared. Now the dangerous cliff is barred, and pilgriias are forced to appeal to the gods in the conven tional Chinese methods. WILL BE WONDERFUL ROAD Highway of Solid Granite in the Rocky Mountains a Riyal of tht Appian Way. Taking example from the famous Appian way, which has l?e came of being the first great road undertaken by the Romans as a public work, the state of Colorado, with the help of an appropriation by the United States government. Is building a highway of solid granite in the Rocky mountains. No other highway in the world, it Is predicted, will provide travelers wKft so ma? liflcent a scenic setting, close to a sheer fall ef 8,000 feet on the other side of the great concrete, posts and cables that will safeguardLvehicu lar traffic. One gets an idea\of the road from the practical statement that it is costing $-'5,000 a^m'le to build. Like the Appian way, "on which long stretches of pavement first traveled over 300-odd years before the Chris tian era, still remain prartleally per fect, the chairman of the Colorado highway commission belfeves that Colo-, radd Is creating a work which will defy the centuries and stand, on comple tion, as the most wonderful road in the modern world. Quite Comfortable, Thank You. A comfortable widow is Mrs. Amanda Jackson, colored. She Is drawing three $57.50 pensions, or $172.50 a month, for the loss of three husbands during the war. and will draw that amount for 20 years. Mrs. Jones* husband died of spinal menin gitis soon after entering the service and taking out a $10,000 insurance policy. The widow married one Smith. He took a maximum life in surance policy In her favor and was killed In action. Then Mrs. Jones Smith married Private Jackson, a re turned soldier, who also named her In a $10,000 policy. Influenza made her a widow a third time in less than two years. The war risk bureau de clines to make known her address, doubtless fearing that she would be inundated with offers of marriage. Brother to the Mosquito. The prolonged drought has produced a prolific host of Insects, and certain species of gnats are developing a dis concerting interest In ankles, says Lon don Daily Mail. . Some women are wearing linen bandages as a protec tion. An ofllclal at the Natural History museum, South Kensington, states that the chief offender is a tiny insect bear ing the long name of Ochlerotatus dor salls. which breeds in estuaries and explores inland. It Is to be found all around London, especially on the Sur rey downs. Another bloodthirsty gnat Is the Pullcarls, which Is labeled at the mu seum as "particularly troublesome in the evening. Its bite is severe, and with many people causes bad sores." Spanish Birth Rate. Now It is in Spain that they are \ beginning to worry about the rising j death rate and the falling birth rate. Dr. Gomez Ocana presents in El Siglo j Medico (Barcelona) statistics for sev- | eral years, showing that in 3912 the j death rate was 21.0 per 1,000 popula- j tlon, and that by 1917, before the ad- j vent of the pandemic of Influenza, it had risen to 26.16. And the birth rate fell from 81.60 per thousand In 1912 to 29.2 In 1917. Official figures for 1918 are m>t yet available, but In the city of Madrid the death rate rose In that year to B0.37, white the birth rate fell to 26.70. The figures for 1918, however, are ab- j bonsai because of the paadeade.
