Philippine Prisons Eager
to Adopt Modern Ways
MANILA, Mar. 25.—(AD.—Kecom
! meiulations of the director of the
i
bureau of prisons, Raimon Yictorio,
| designed to place the penal system
! of the Philippine Islands on a plane
with the most modern institutions
of the kind in the world, and to ex
pand the industrial activities of
Bilibid prison in Manila, have re*
! ceived the endorsement of Governor
j General Leonard Wood. In a letter
11he governor general requests that
] provision covering such recommenda
j tions be included in the budget to
| be presented to the legislature when
it meets next July.
j Director Yictorio asks that the bu
i reau of prisons be given a revolving
1 fund, instead of the present annual
appropriation. He states that the
net income of the bureau from its
industrial division in Bilibid prison,
Manila; the Bontoc prison, Mountain
i Province; San Ratmon prison, Zam
boanga, and the Iwahig penal col
ony, island of Palawan, is in ex
cess of $250,000 annually. He de
clares that if this amount were left
at the disposal of the bureau with
out further appropriations from the
legislature, most of the existing dif
ficulties of the penal system could
be rapidly overcome.
Among the new activities recom
mended for Bilibid prison is the es
tablishment of a binder twine and
jute mill. In this connection the
director says that local conditions
are most favorable to such an en
terprise on account of the abundant
supply of hemp, cheap labor and
the constantt demand abroad for
binder twine.

NORTHERN PACIFIC
FIGHTING FOR LAND
WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 25 —
The Northern Pacific today began its
fight before the Congressional com
mittee over 1,500,000 acres o£ land
claimed along the railroad lines in
Washington, to which the government
is opposed to giving, claimiing that
the route is unduly irregular.
The company replied that the route
was the only feasible one, cited the
improvement of the President and In
terior Department, and counsel for
the company, concluded his argument
by saying: “It must be borne in mind
that in 18G4 when a charter was given
this company, the country from Lake
Superior to Puget Sound was an un
known land.” *

Women’s Fashions of 1925
Traced To Stone Age Artist
ROTHERHAM, Eng., Mar. 25.—
(AP).—That there is little new un
der. the sun, even with regard to
women’s fashions, was pointed out
by Ethert Brand, curator of the mu
seum here in the course of a recent
lecture. Referring to an illustration
of women dancers on the walls of a
Spanish cave, he said these palaeo
lithic belles were very near to the
present day women with their high
hats, chignons, tight waists and bell
shaped skirts. These cave pictures
were probably the earliest fashion
plates in the world, and were drawn
about 20,000 years ago, declared Mr.
Brand.
Another illustration from Spain
showed a costume very much akin
to that of the modern flapper.
