Hence, it ssems clear that a prime obâ€" ject of penal reform should be to keep a young man or woman out of prison for as long as is reasonably possible, and judges and magistrates do usually act nowadays on this principle by takâ€" ing evory opportiunity of binding over first offenders or placing them on proâ€" bation. A term in jail, again, nearly always handicaps a man in after life, howoever sincere may be his intention to take up honest employment and it follows that the most effective way of combating crime is at the very startâ€" that is, by sparing no effort to provent young offenders from drifting into the criminal rut.

As early as 1914 a great dam was planned to collect the waters of the White Nile at Gebel Aulia, twentyâ€" four mile sabove Khartum.

At present the waters coming down from Lake Albert flow into the swamp, where they are absorbed or evaporatâ€" ed.

The novelist is descended from Matthew Wren, the architect‘s brother. The producing power of the soil in the various countries is also an imâ€" portant factor in the land area reâ€" quired. The reason twice as much land is necessary to produce food for a Chinese as for a Japanese is because crop yields are much higher in Japan. These differences in the acreage of crops needed to feed one person are due principally to differences in diet, Dr. Baker points out.
