(Bv Associated Press;
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12.—Knit-:
ting needles are flying in the cells'
and workshops at the San Quentin;
and Folsom state penitentiaries, and
a big assortment of socks, sweaters!
and other sartorial comforts are being
turned out for the American troops in
fiance and in the domestic service.
At San Quentin the 24 women in
mates are spending all of their time
not taken up by other duties in turn
ing out wristlets, socks and many oth
er articles of apparel designed to keep
out the cold. In Folsom practically
every male prisoner has become adept
at the knitting needles, and a halfj
dozen knitting machines have been
installed in addition. Some of the
operator's there are said by Warden
J. .T Smith to be turning out a pair of
socks every fourteen minutes.
Tim Red Cross is directing the work
in both institutions.
The men prisoners at San Quentin
are not engaged in knitting but they
are besieging Warden James A.
Johnston with requests that they be
allowed to join the armed forces of
the nation. Hundreds of the men have'
told the warden that they are will
ing to place themselves in the custody]
of the United States army in order
that they might go to the trenches'
and then be returned to the prison to!
finish their terms.
Under the laws of the state, how
ever, neither a prison inmate or an
ex-convict can join the armed forces
of the country. The only thing that
permits them to do so is an absolute
pardon from the governor.
Because of this the prisoners will
have to satisfy their desire to serve
by knitting and other war activities
that may be carried on within the J
wall of a prison.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 11.—
“Safety first” is being demonstrated
in the schools of Los Angeles coun
ty by the exhibition of lantern slides,
photographs, charts, and other mater
ial gathered by the Los Angeles police
force in the course of its traffic worn
The school authorities have sent out
the material in the belief that a pic
ture of an automobile upside down
in a ditch will give a clearer idea of
the res tits of carelessness than any
amount of cautionary talk.
The police department maintained
a “safety first” exhibit at a recent au
tomobile show here, and the material
from that exhibit was asked for by
the school authorities, and lent by the
police. The police department exhibit
was built up largely from newspaper
photographs of various local accidents
and accounts of how they occurred,
supplemented by explanations on how
to avoid similar troubles.
