' MOTHER;-
Wlnnlfred Mason Huek, former
congrtsswonmn and tlie first wom
an to preside over the house of rep
resentatives, got herself sentenced
to prison.
Guiltless of any crime, she sought
answers to the questions
Are our prisons humane?
Can a girl, crushed by fellow
men, regain her place in society?
This is tho fourth story written
for the llearld.
ItY WINXIFKF.D MASON lltt'K
Former .Itcprcst-nlutlve to CongTe.vs
I'riim Illinois.
Her name was Angeline, and she
looked ungclic, this t.-yi.ar-old con
fessed murderess. As 1 write this,
she Is still in prison awaiting trial.
It was about 5 o'clock in tho
morning when her picture was
taken, and on the train to Marys
Nille at half past eight, it. looked
out at mo from the front page of a
morning newspaper.
I. had gonu to the Cleveland jail
the middle of January. r the sun
ever penetrated that damp, smoky
curtain which overhung the city,
we could not see It through thoso
dirty windows of the jail. More
than oncu I speculated about the
sun.
A little before 8 o'clock I was
told to get ready to leave. There
was nally nothing to get ready. .My
hat was lumping ouistde the cell,
and 1 shuu'du-i d to think of the lib
erties those enormous cockroaches
probably were laid ig with it at that
ery moment.
sii-lo and I
And then a f..w moments later,
i"i::sie Williams, a. large, jolly negro
gill who was in for hoot legging,
and 1 were called to the gate.
W-J were told to step into the hall,
where we found Mrs. Mary McUratl.
a pleasant-looking field 'officer, talk
ing to one of the policemen and
signing some papers, probably re
ceipts lev us.
They (iid not handcuff us. They
gae me my traveling bag, which
had been brought to the police sta
tion, packed with a few clean and
rather old clothes.
It had been searched and repack
ed, no carelessly that the. garments)
were in an unwearable Mate when
I took tli' in out.
We went through a long, dank,
badly lighted tunnel, in the care of
Mrs. McCrail and two policemen.
At. the door I had the first breath
of fresh air in tbree dujs. The day
wai dark, with a redd drizzle that
froze through one's clothes and
seemed to clutch at one's heart. But
that breath, free of prison stench,
was like a message straight from
heaven, '
Tim Wukoii
Two policemen stood at attention
at tho police wagon, We wero hur
tled Into tho wagon, and tho ride to
the railroad station began.
My threo dismal days In Jail had
sharpened my sensibilities, and 1 he-
gan to dread tho alighting at the
depot.
I could visualize tho staring
crowds, the ph . asm-able c scileni- nl
that would ripple around when the
people saw that the prisoners were
women, tho Mooring faces of the
train crew,
Tho ride was a short one. And
at. tho end of it, tho ordeal was
harrowing.
Curious people watched us get
out of the wagon. Mrs. McUrall and
Ihe policemen hurried us Into the
station, where she bought the tick
ets. For 10 minutes I ran the gamut
of shame and humiliation and deg
radation. Everyone in tho station
walked past us, craning his neck to
aee the two women in charge of the
officers.
Brows went up and lips curled In
sneers. I dropped my head and
looked at the floor, but I could feel
eyes burning into my back.
So Trouble
At ln&l, it was lime to board the
train. Apparently there was talk of
.'ending- a detecir. e Willi us, but I
heard Mrs. McUrail telling one of
the officers that she did not expect
any trouble whatever.
1 looked at fat, placid Pil.sie and
could nut imagine her fighting for
a g-t way. As for no self, 1 would
light only against an attempt to
k" p me out of Marseille.
1 had paid thu price of admission
with my three days and nights In
that Cleveland rat-hole. For me it
was Marysviile or bust.
Un the train I bought papers.
Angelina was in all of them. 1'oor
child! She will probably get a good
long rest at some state, institution
and an opportunity to reconstruct
her hleas upon the taking of life,
On the train, Mr:-. McGrall open
ed a hex of very good candy, ex
plaining that cotnebo'ly had given
her a large box v. Inch she could
not cal ad by her:;ef.
There, was no suggestion of pa
tronage in h"r manner to us, no
hint that -he regarded herself as
better than we.
Intelligent lvlndness
It was her business to deliver us
to the authorities at Marysviile, not
to pry Into our misconduct or try
to reform us. Sho attended to her
business not only pleasantly and
graciously, hut with Intelligent
kindness.
Together, she and I worked a
crossword puzzle on tho train, whilo
Susie munched candy.
When we left the train nt a small
station, we took a Inxl for Marys
viile, which was about I'O miles
away.
As we. approached the prison. I
noticed that liere were no walla
about thu place. It. was merely a
group of goi looking buildings,
surrounded by v.hn land In an ex
cellent state of cultivation.
Before 1 had seen all I wanted
to see, wo were brought up with a
rush at the front door. It swung
bock, and in a moment wo were In.
I had made tho goal. My prison
experience, lay before mc.
Hliudders of apprehension ran
over me, at tho thought of new
horrors, new lillh, new bars and
bolts and sharp commands. 1 tried
to comrort myself by the rellectlon
i hat nothing could be worse than
the, jail we hail just left.
Already I had learned that physi
cal discomforts can be bom much
belter than the sense that one is
completely in the power of another,
that one is utterly helpless to chart
his own course.
A Cow ed Thins;
The smallest joys of free spi ceh
and free action assumed mammoth
proportions, now I hat all freedom
was taken away from me. I began
lo be ihe whipp. d, cowed thing that
prisons make of men and women,
even though injustice and cruelly
do not exist.
Susie and 1 tat down in the re
ception room. I wore a look of
fright and stupidity. I am sure that
no one would have doubted the au
thenticity of my prisoner role.
Mrs, McGrail got her receipt for
delivering two prisoners alive from
the city jail at Cleveland to the
state prison at Marysviile. She went
straight back lo the taxi to catch
the next train lor Cleveland.
And there, we sat, Susie and I.
awaiting the commands of our new
iviast f rs.

What
is a
Balloon Tire?
THE announcements of two years or so ago
defined a balloon tire as
"A tire of large cross-sectional diameter hav
ing a thin, flexible side wall so it can be run at
low enough air pressure to provide a soft air
cushion between the car and the road."
That was the industry's ideal.
That was what the car owner was told he
would get.
That is what the car owner does get in the
U. S. Royal True Low-Pressure Balloon.
But he doesn't get it in all tires that carry the
word "Balloon" on the side wall.
Some tires labeled Balloon wear out too fast
when run soft, so they must be run at too high
pressure to give ideal cushioning and comfort
The makers of U. S. Royal Balloons have
stuck to the original idea and ideal.
The U. S. Royal Balloon is built of Latex
treated Web Cord.
This provides the necessary strength and flex
ibility for low air pressure. '
It also has the U. S. Low-Pressure Tread
which distributes the weight evenly over the
entire tread surface and eliminates early, un
even and unsightly tread wear.
It can therefore be run at low enough pres
sure for ideal cushioning without injury.
Many nice big round tires with the name
"balloon" oh the side wall can't. ,
