HN hos Where the Band Concerts Are Held H ~ TWICE ON SUNDAYS ~ 3 ---- No 'HoMday For Staff--Shoe-Making Machinery To Be Installed In the Workrooms. Among a number of reforms' con- templated in Kingston Penitentiary, the Government is. considering the ingtalidtion of shoe-making machin- ery the prison workrooms. The! idea is to have the convicts make footwear for the variots Govern- ment services including the Domin fon Police, Mounted Police, etc. As the situation is at present some of the convicts are engaged in the manufacture of boots, but only hand-made ones, which are scarcely a commercial product in. this mod- ern age. It is proposed to estab- lish two machines as a beginning, the jdea being that the product of the prison shall compete as little as possible with free labor, while at the same time the convicts will be given an opportunity to learn a use ful trade. A recert application -by the war- dens of various penitentiaries for a Saturday half-holiday has been re- fused by Hon. ('. J. Doherty. The reason is given that it will entail the, prisoners remaining in thei cells all Saturday afternoon. Judge *Poherty has also changed a former regulation whereby prisoners had to stay in their cells practically all Sunday, two medls being given to them at once. The new rule is that they leave their cells for both meals, which at least means a bréak in the monotony of cell confinement. 25 (ents KEEP A SOLDIER IN SMOKES FOR A WEEK It buys BO Cieareties and. 4 Ounces of 1o- bacco, and every gilts is acknowledged by the soldier himself.
