HISTORY DWARFS PEAG By MCLDKCM YOjUNG Claude Carter, poetic day jailer of the Utah county jail, finds the poinga-on at this institution anything any-thing but dulL "The things that go on here make this jail nothing short of a circus. You are on the merry-go-round all the time," Mr. Carter comments. At the most inopportune time Ecme of the "boys will yell pithetically for water. There is always the yegg with the splitting headache demanding his aspirin tablet, and then there is the food connoisseur who frowns on hamburger ham-burger and demands beef steak. Better Than Home Some of the boys have become r.o attached to the place with its hot and cold showers and three meal3 a dav, that it is difficult to expel them. One individual liked- the place so well that through constant scrapes he has managed to be there 1265 days. "This condition can be explained," Mr. Carter said, "by the fact that in nine times out of ten the conditions condi-tions here are better than the conditions con-ditions at their homes." Amusing' incidents often take place at the jail. One afternoon the jailer let some of the boys out to play horseshoes. The most prominent teams were two drunken drunk-en drivers playing against two cattle rustlers. At the end of the game the drunken drivers ex-climed ex-climed exuberantly, "Hooray, the drunken drivers beat the cattle thieves!" And then there is the danger of riots. The boys don't fight each other so much, but occasionally occa-sionally they mix it with the jailers. jail-ers. For this purpose the prisoner prison-er shorde legs torn from steel teds, but the jailer nearly always al-ways disappoints them by finding: the booty. Mr. Carter mentioned that one yegg was so tenderhearted tender-hearted that he padded the end of his steel club, thereby sparing the would-be victim a split head. Back in the tank the prisoners have their own set of rules, and they soon educate new prisoners to be rule conscious. According to the rules, each man must take a shower when he comes in, and thereafter at least three a week. He is not allowed to spit or throw matches on the floor, and a boon to all is the rule that every afternoon after-noon absolute quiet shall be maintained main-tained for two hours. In handling the prisoners, Mr. Carter tries to make them realize that he is not "down on them," but at the same time he has them understand that they are not in the institution for a picnic. SCHENECTADY, N. Y. U.D The civilized world can make only a dubious claim to that title, according ac-cording to Prof. Walter C. Lang-sam's Lang-sam's tally of war versus peace through history. The Union College professor and author checked history from 1491 B. C. to 1861 A. D. and found that of 3,357 years the civilized world enjoyed general peace for only 227 of them but there is hope for a better ratio. "There is sufficient evidence of general progress during the past 2,000 years in man's relations with man to encouraee me to take an optimistic view of the future," he said. "As T have pursued my studies, one thing has become ever clear er to me, namely, that the history his-tory of the future may well have much less of the grim to record if only more persons within each country would learn to acquire, early in life, certain simple hab its only a half-dozen elementary and fundamental, and therefore highly important, attitudes to govern their relations with their fellow men." They are: 1 Tolerance for the views and condition of others. 2 A tendency to hoid or ad vance strong personal opinions only upon subjects on which one i3 relatively well informed. 3 A critical ability to differentiate, differ-entiate, at least in a general way. between propaganda and verifia ble fact. 4 A willingness to cooperate and compromise in one's dealings with other people. 5 Recognition of the importance impor-tance of having a sense of humor. IN BLAMED- FOR VOICE ILLS J "' X -,' V.' HANSEN'S HAS MODERN PLANT PIIILADEL PHIA (U.D Dr. James Sonnett Greene, medical director di-rector of the National Hospital for Speech Disorders, said 'here that the thousands of persons being be-ing treated for "voice fatigue" today are really suffering from "brain fatigue." Dr. Greene attributed the malady mal-ady affecting the brain as arising from "some crisis of a personal or business nature which the individual in-dividual fears he shall not be able to meet." "This anxiety," Dr. Greene said, "affects the vocal tract and develops de-velops a disorder which furnishes his ego with an alibi for the anticipated failure." Dr.-Greene has called this voice sickn ess "psychophonasthenia." Tn normal parlance that means mental voice weakness. True voice weakness is "phono-asthenia." "phono-asthenia." Singers, lawyers, and ministers are often afflicted with it. Under it, the voice cracks, grates, shifts key or chokes off completely. Phonoasthenia is remied by using psychotherapy on the patient pat-ient The subject is taught primarily pri-marily not to fear environment. In addition, the patient is instructed in-structed to accept his natural deficiencies without grieving. There is a third sickness whose name is almost as imposing as its ravages. It is "exophathalmos," or protruding eyeball. About 75 per cent of protruding protrud-ing eyeball cases result from knocks received in automobile accidents, Dr. Albert D. Reude-mann Reude-mann of Cleveland, reported. The George A. Hansen Candy company of 820 "West Center street in Provo, has gained a reputable position in the candy-making candy-making industry.

But does he scare her? Not at all. They're pictured at Clearwater, Fla., at the recent American Kennel Club show. The dog, owned by Raymond B. Quackenbush of Ridgefield, Conn., was adjudged the best St. Bernard in the show. Health at 77 Credited To Winter Gardening COLUMBUS, O. (U.P) George R. Wheeler, 77, credits his system of "winter gardening" for his excellent ex-cellent health. Wheeler spades his half-acre garden during the winter months, both for practical reasons and for exercise. He explains that after the ground is spaded in the winter win-ter "the frost pulverizes the earth, making the drainage perfect and putting the ground in good condition condi-tion for grading and planting in the spring." Wheeler toasts that his gardening- habits have been partly responsible re-sponsible for his freedom from any serious illness during his life. The United States ranks first in developed water power, with 17,949,000 horsepower installed Asia. Orchard Owners Fear Apples Heavily Damaged MARIONVILLE, Mo.
