Slate and Coal

CITYJAILGHEF
EXPLAINS MENUS
Mrs. Susie Fisher, who lives on
Pearl St. near police headquarters
aral who has furnished prisoners in
th' city prison with meals for the
past twenty-four years, appeared be
fore the board of public safety today
to discuss the quality of food which
she has been delivering to prisoners.
Mrs. Fisher's appearance before the
board was the outgrowth of a state
ment made by Judge Delbert O. "Wil
meth of city court and other officials
a few days, ago that prisoners were
not receiving enough food. Mrs. Fish
er explained that she received 20 cents
a meal and that this price had been
the same during the war period, when
food prices* soared. She said she did
not feel she should be required to re
duce the price, inasmuch as she had
not increased It at a time when such
a request undoubtedly would
been honored. She explained that she
was required to furnish the cooking
utensils and dishes and that cups and
coffee pots often were broken by irate
prisoners.
Menu Is Given
Mrs. Fisher gave the day's menu
as follows:
Breakfast —Four slices of bread or
more if the prisoner desires and as
much coffee as the prisoner wishes.
Lunch—Four slices of bread, two
potatoes, two pieces of boiled beef and
coffee.
Supper—Same as for breakfast.
It was explained to the board that
prisoners are seldom held at head
quarters longer than a few hours and
the average scarcely takes two meals
there until he is released or sent to
the Marion County jail
Members expressed themselves as
disinclined to place any criticism with
Mrs. Fisher, maintaining that if Chief
Rikhoff’s investigation, which was or
dered continued, revealed that prison
ers were underfed, a complete rear*
rangement of both menu and scale of
prices be ordered.
FARMERS WARNED
The attention of the State con
servation department has been called
to the increasing danger of what i3
known as the poison snake weed. In
many cases farmers, who have per
mitted stock to graze in wooded places
Wttere the snake weed is more com
mon, have suffered loss.
County agents throughout the State
have been requested to obtain one of
these weeds and place it on exhibition
that farmers may see what it is and
destroy it.

ORGANIST EDDY
SHOWSARTISTRY
Somehow or other, one can’t
imuglne General Charles G. Dawes,
United States director of the budget?
in connection with artistic musio. Yet
it was his composition, “Melody,” that
stood out above all the other numbers
in the orgaq -recital of Clarence Eddy
at the Cadle Tabernacle last night.
Mr. Eddy is a master of the organ.
In his very first number, “Hymn of
Glory,” a composition dedicated to the
American Legion, he got out of it nil
the title Implies. For the most part,
the rest of the program was of a seri
ous nature and gave Mr. Eddy an op
portunity to display his artistry'.
It was General Dawes number that
brought you back to earth. Seldom
have we heard anything so brilliant as
Mr. Edy’s interpretation of this com
position.
The closing number, “Southern
Fantasy,” which has been dedicated to
Mr. Eddy, was the only offering with

Next War Dope
By United News
PARIS, Nov. 14. 1 —Despite the great
marriage drive launched by the. de
mobilized poilus after the armistice,
the French birth rate is still sadly on
the decline.
Some 70,000 fewer children were
born this year than last, according to
statistics compiled and announced
Monday by the National Alliance for
the Increase of the French Population.
The figure points to this conclusion:
In less than fifty years there will be
93,000,000 Germans as against only
45,000,000 French—unless old Father
Stork, who is the national bird of
restored Alsace, makes more regular
visits to the average French house
hold.
