Institution Handicapped. San Francisco^--Wanted, 212 prisoners. That's what Col. George McD. Weeks might advertise about his model prison out In San Francisco bay. He hasn't enough prisoners. For Alcafraz, army disciplinary barracks out on an island within the city limits of San Francisco, is unique for many reasons: Out of its 388 prisoners, only one is there for life, only on? prisoner has eye?: inade a jrealSy successful getaway. fend every - man works eight hours a- day and four hours on Saturday. It's a pli^ where "there is running hot water and lavatory In every cell, steam heat, shower baths, library, picture show, and every facility for the prisoners. > Under new army regulations a post commander may keep at his post guardhouse any prisoner within certain bounds, and therefore only the worst cases are sent to Alcatraz. Last year the barracks returned 12 men to duty after accomplishing with these prisoners the aim of their imprisonment, discipline. Water Hauled by Bargs. The island is handicapped in all Its activities by the fact that it has no fresh water, and all water must be hauled by barges from San Francisco. The island uses 125,000 gallons a day, obtaining the water from two supply ships. An old Spanish fort, the original fortification protecting San Francisco, Alcatraz, which became a military prison in .1858, has on duty under arms only two men at a time, although within three minutes 180 persons can be Armed to deal with any emergency. Ranking high in importance in any consideration of the island is the kind of food the prisoners get. A sample menu consists of corn flakes and milk, fried breakfast bacon, hot cakes, sirup, bread, cofTee, and butter for breakfast ; rice tomato "soup and creckers, fried beefsteak, fried onions mashed potatoes, brown gravy, lettuce salad, french dressing, pickled beets, raisin pudding, bread and coffee for dinner; baked macaroni and cheese, dill pickles, doughnuts, bread, and coffee for supper. Now this menu does not cost Uncle Sam 34 cents a meal, but 34 cents a day! And recently they had turkey for their Sunday meal at Alcatraz. The island has ah auxiliary garden over on Angel island where fresh vegetables are raised. Keeping men busy is the specialty of Colonel Weeks, who attended school in San Francisco, served here with a company from Vancouver Barracks, Wash., during the fire of 1906, and was attached to the Presidio during the exposition of 1915. But he needs 212 more prisoners to do all the work he'd like to have done. Colonel Weeks and his adjutant, MaJ. James E. Slack, find that the morale of the men Is the better, as well as their appetites, for eight hours' work. The colonel thinks Alcatraz may be beautified by growing of grass on the hitherto brown slopes and cliffs. The men in the prison agree with him and have worked heartily to carry out his Ideas. Uniform of Black. The prisoners are dressed In black uniforms and black sailor caps made from war O. D. material dyed black. The prisoners have a complete tailor shop where their clothes are repaired and pressed, a shoe shop, plumbing shop, printing shop, typewriter repair shop and furniture shops. They also have a laundry which serves all tlM posts around the bay. Pride of the island is the furniture department, where skilled men repair antiques and build reproductions of the best of Hepplewhite, Duncan Phyfe, Sheraton and other types. The prisoners are allowed to sell their products to army and navy officers, and have all the orders they can fill. Those in productive capacities are allowed $2 a month for their work. The balance of what their industry brings in goes into a general welfare fund. A recent purchase of $3,500 worth of talking picture projection machinery was made from this fund. Among the features of the prison la its lighthouse, towering 1214 feet above sea level. The light is visible 21 nautical miles. This lights gives a flash for .5 of a second, aftd la off for 4.5 seconds. It Is of 80,000 candle power. Assignment to Alcatraz is considered one of the best to be had in the army by its officers and men, according to Major Slack. As for the prisoners, well, there's the words of the only lifer on the island, Joseph Sollwode, "Since I have to spend my life somewhere, this Is about as good as a.ny. prison I'd ever care to be In."

" Grape# Are Kept Fre«K by Hungarian Invention Budapest.--The press reports that Mussolini has Instructed the Italian consulate in Budapest to furnish him with details of the Hungarian Invention by which grapes may be preserved perfectly fresh for a number of months. Mr. Bernhart of Kecskemet, the Inventor, has been able to prove The'dedication of this memorial to! its value and can offer experts grapes Joseph Hewes comes ,,at a most picked last October which have lost appropriate time and is fittingly, none of their juice. Adoption of the associated with the Bicentennial Cele-! method is expected to prove a boo» bration of George Washington's birth. Hewes rendered conspicuous service to his country during the Revolutionary War, and was known as a friend of Washington's. He died in 1779 m Philadelphia, his death being directly due to overwork occasioned by his activities in Congress. Born in Kingston, New Jersey, in 1730, Hewes moved to Philadelphia where "he acquired a comfortable fortune as a merchant. He went to! Edenton sometime between 1756 and 1763. Here he was "a particular favorite with everybody," and was generally regarded as "one of the beat and most agreeable men in the world," "the patron and greatest honor of the " town." I As a delegate from North Carolina to the Continental Congress, Hewes at first opposed absolute independence. He nevertheless strongly supported, the policy of nonimportation to protest British taxation of the colonies, although he knew his private business would suffer considerably thereby. Later he overcame his own objections to separation from England and signed the Declaration of Independence m accordance with the wishes , of the people of North Carolina. j He was the real head of the com-1 mittee to fit out and arm vessels; and, as chairman of the committee of marine, was in actual fact the first executive head of the United States Niavy. His best service was perhaps as a member of the secret committee on supplies from abroad., His business training and ability and his ex-: perience as ship owner stood him in good stead- He is said to have used his own fleet of ships to bring supplies to this country at his own expense. It was Hewes who procured a commission for John Paul Jones as an officer in the navy, and it was he who to grape growers. 1 1 1 • 'jylc.
