I SEES MUMMIES IN FRANCE
WHICH WERE PRESERVED BY
I USE OF ARSENIC AND LIME
iMr. and Mrs. A. J. Aland. 13151
Washington avenue, received a lctterl
irom their son. Dr. Albert J. Aland,
an officer of the medical corps, A. F

rases of Utah tomatoes to be used in i
the hospitals '"over there." He also
Kivcs an interesting story of hlfl trlD
from Franco to America The letter
follows .
"Savcnay, France. Base Hospital,'
1 March 6th. 1919.
"Once more I am assigned for fur- I
I ther duty In Franco at this hospital.1
whither i came with groat expectations
of being sent home at once. Afterj
.'pending only two days in rViigueuX.
i torn where I last wroto in you. I was
ordered to this place.
1 had a long and tiresome ride in!
r cold passonger coach which had
about half the windows broken out!
and replaced by strips of cardboard.
It snowed ami rained nearly all the
lime and made the Journej anything
but enjoyable.
"From rerigueux I went to Bor
deaux, one of France's largest sea - J
port towns. There are some old ruins
there, left by the Romans, and one I
saw was Ihe Palais Oallicn which was
built before ihe time of Christ. It
was a mammoth BtfuctUrtj and made
me wonder whether we have advanced
much in the line of architecture since
those days of two thousand ears ago.,
Another sight that I shall never
forget was 74 mummies in the crylfl of
St Michael's cathedral. These were1
not mummies of ihe Fgvptian kind,
wrapped, encased, etc . but were simp
ly cadavers, absolutely as natural as
any could be. in spite of the fact that
they were 400 years old.
"These peculiar specimens were pi '
V -Pved In arsenic and lime, and had,
f- been buried for 30n vears in IJoriieaux
before they wore exhumed 100 year?
ago and put into the old crypt. Se
oral of them show very interesting
v idence as to how they died and were:
especially interesting to a medical
man.
From Bordeaux I came north along:
the coast lino through La Uochellej
Roquefort and thence to Savenay,
vrhlch is the larcesi hospital o nw i in
e A. E. F.
jr., "I must recall a little incident (hat,
occurred at N.niilly wlmh I believe I
forgot to toll you about, tine da) as
1 was leav ing our hospital to go down J
to Faris, my attention was attracted
lo a great stack of boxes on the side
walk nar (he hospital comniissarv
and I .--trolled over to see what the
hospital was purchasing in what ap
i" ared to be carload lots. Guess what
it was. The whole stack was noth
ing more than Wood's Cross Brand
TomatoeaJ fresh from Ctah to Farls. I
nave been on the lookout for some
Nigger Boy' brand goods over here,
but I guess they are not branded.
"Today is Wednesday, the 12th. and
I am on'the IT. S. S. Princess Matoika
three days out at sea and nearinc the
Azores islands on my way to Norfolk.;
Va.. U. S. A., where we are exported
to debark on the 20tb or Slst. lt
seems good tb be on my way back.
Three other doctors and 1 are In
charge of 198 sick and wounded whom
we are bringing home. There aroj
also 2800 troops on board who aroi
through with Prance.
"Yesterday we had quite a battle
with the only two elements In this
vicinilv. and iho wind and wave, tnss
ed our big boat about like a chip of
wood. The waves were 25 to 30 feet
high and splashed all over the dn ks '
'4'here were some 200 aboard who "fed
me fishes' as a result of this slielu
disturbance and 1 was feeling prettv i
rocky myself but old mother ocean
didn't get quite rough enough to per-,
suade ine to contribute to the finny
tribe.
"Today is calm and warm as we are
getting pretty well south and I think
we ought lo have no more cold wea
ther. No doubt I will be assigned to duty
in some hospital where I arrive and
1 think most likely it will be to the
Walter Rich Memorial hospital. Wash
ington. D. C., although I don't know
anything detinlte as yet. I wish we,
had a boat as swift as the one 1 came
over on for I would be home six days;
soouer. This boat takes 13 days to
cross. It used to he a German boat
the Prinrc-s Allee. but was driven
into Manila by the British and over- '
hauled b the United States far a tioop
transport about a year ago. This is
its ninth trip lo France and back.
A big Dutch boat, the Rijndam, left'
St. Maure about two hours ahead of,
us. loaded with troops for home and
there were two other bt boats load
ing; when we left. Well, I must close
for this time.

I (DARK CORNERS IFF THE PB08LY
I FIGHTF.D COUNTY COURT HOF'SE
I "Say, partner, is the sun shining out
side today or is it snowing or what
in Is it doing""
I SpThe above was a remark of a pris
i -oner in the county jail yesterday after-1
noon to a Standard representative,
who made a trip of inspection through
, the jail, for the purpose of verifying I
the reports of the ill-lighred and poorly
ventilated system in the dark, damp
and dismal bastile.
The reporter turned t" the speakei
and saw a young man, of apparently ,
rugged constitution, but with a face I
as pRle as one jus' getting over a sick I
spell. When asked If he was sick, the
prisoner remarked:
Sy"No, 1 am not sick, but I am suffer-1
ing greater torture in this 'Black Hole
of Calcutta' than 1 would if 1 were In
dungeon. Every on? of the fellows
here gets bleached out like a baby aft
r he is here a whil. Wp never see
the sun from the time we are brought
In here until we are released. You can
see how much sun gets in through
those windows.
Down the north side of ihe cells are
three narrow windows, which remind
Ohe of the loopholes in the old i,(h
toned forts in which the 'blunder
bus" protruded in repelling the attack
of the Indians The windows
opened and a small rav ol light en
tered. The prisoners In the cells had
their lights burning. If the lights were
no', burning in the jail corridor he
prisoners would collide v. ith each oth
er while exercising In walking down
the south side of the cells, the reporter
had to light a match to find his waj
i- - The cells for the desperate crimi
nals are small and very poorly vent I
lated. No torture could b greal
s that of placing a criminal in one
of those cells for thirty days This
ward is separate from the main part
of the jail. It Is three all-steel cages
crowded into a small space.
The padded cell and women's ward,
prior ro lemodelin? ol a room in the
east end of the Jail, was indeed a
hole No matter what was the crime1
committed by a woman, she should not
be placed in such a cell. It is little
wonder that Sheriff Peterson deprived
himself of room to make a ward for,
the women prisoners.
The kitchen department of ihe jail
is under two big electric lights all the !
time. There is not a window from the
outside in this room. The cooking is
done by Mrs. (.'lark, who assured the i
reporter that ll was a strain for one
to be working under electric light from
morning to night.

MOTHER CONDEMNS
CENTRAL JUNIOR
HIGH SCHOOL
1 Editor Standard: I have read most
every evi-ninc, in your paper, some
thine about the Junior High school.
al.su the South Washington school,
and Ho condition of those huildinps
Kt I Have a . hild In the Central .lunior
Hlgh school I, with several other par
ients. visited this building, to sec lor
I ourselves, if all that had been naid
about this school building was true.
M first when 1 looked at the out
side of this building, the thought came
to me that it might be fixed up. to an
svver school purposes, for a few more
years. But w hen we entered the
! building, and weni through it from top
down to he basement, we were a
tonished and disgusted, with the con
ditions that have existed too long, tor
the health and safety of our children
And lor me say, that your paper has
not told one-half about the terrible
condition of this school buildinc II
certainly belongs to the dark ages, in
more ways than one.
FIrsti ii is downright filthy, and the
odor that corned up from ihe base
ment, and fills every corner of this
buildinc. Is disgusting. Second, It Is
the worst tue nap that I have ever
seen, and the thought came to me:
Where Is cmi fire chief and sani
tary InspeetOl ' Why do they allow
such a condition In our schools .'
If I wnc cither one of these off i
cei I, and had the power. I would close
these schools, and not permit a child
to enter them.
If a fire -er started In the base
ment, ii WOUld be almost Impossible
to sav i the lives of the children th 't
are in the basement class-room.-.
Thoie g only one narrow stairway
leadlnc hi from the basement. The
floors are oil-soaked, broken and dirty,
and I think the basement is not oer
eisht or nine feet high.
The windows in this basement are
only half windows, and it is necessary
to use electric lights in the day tlmrt.
The lavatories are n lasting disgrace
to Ogden. I cannot describe them on
paper, you would have .to see them io
Understand. They are simply aw in1
Bhren p-ri of this building is thor
oughly worn out, and beyond" repair.
Instead of calling this building the
Central Junior high school they should
name it Rip Van Winkle's school.
The parents of these children (hat
will allow such school buildings as the
Central Junior High and Washington
schools have surely been asleep, like
old Rip. for twenty years or motr.
Fathers and mothers of Ogden, wake
up. don't he Rip Van Winkles all of
your lives. Take an interest in your
children, and the schools they atterd,
visit these school buildings, and see
for yourselves the conditions that sur
round your children, and their school
life Ieath lurks in these old fire
traps, and our little ones are in dan
ger. Be up and doing, like the other
progressive cities of America, let us
have the best schools in Utah.
In conclusion, let me say that 1 am
a heavy taxpayer of this city, and I
am willing to pay still more taxes if
it will make better school building
and a better Ogden.
Yours respect fully,
