HI COST OF FARM FOR WILD WOMEN (Special Correspondence.) SAGRAMENTO, Dec. 23.—The director of institutions says the state pays more than $500 a month for each inmate in the so-called industrial farm for women and that most of them are narcotics who should be in state hospitals. He recommends that the institution should be abolished, as those women can be cared for in the state hospitals for $20 a month as against 28 times that much at the local. Director E. G. Twogood in his report to the governor says: "After much delay, the Industrial Farm for Women was formally opened in January, 1922. On June 30, 1922, they admitted 23 inmates. Of this number approximately 19 were narcotic or alcoholic addicts. When the inmates of this institution were interviewed it was found that, with few exceptions, there are of precisely the same class as we have for years been attempting to care for in our state hospitals for insane as female inebriates. "The history of moral delinquency of the inmates of the Industrial Farm for Women is no more marked than it is with the State hospital inebriate. The results undoubtedly will not be any more satisfactory in the Farm for Women than in the hospitals for insane. "The question, therefore, arises, is the State justified in maintaining two different departments attempting to meet the same problem? In the hospitals for the insane this class can be cared for at an expense not to exceed $20,00 per month per patient, whereas our experience in conducting the Farm for Women, covering the period of six months ending June 30, 1922, shows that the cost, with average daily population of 9 inmates, was $573.50 per month per patient. "The very small number of admissions to this institution during the first six months of its existence would indicate that the crying need of such an institution was not as real as apparent to those who advocated its establishment." MODERN HAT RUINS HAIR, SAYS MARCEL PARIS, Dec. 23.—"The modern hat is the ruination of women's hair," said Monieur Maelc, creator of the Marcel wave, who has just been celebrating the fifth anniversary of his invention in the French capital. "There are many beautiful modes of dressing the hair," he continues. "which cannot be used because of the impossible headgear the women must upon wearing. Elaborate and attractive coiffures are out of place with the modern hat." YOUR XMAS SEALS SAVE HUMAN LIVES "Buy Christmas Seals and Save Human Lives" is the message the Orange County Anti-Tuberculosis Society is trying to get over to all the inhabitants of Orange County that they may do their share in trying to down the great white plague here. Last year's work of the society showed wonderful results. One girl cured of tuberculosis, $75 spent for clinical services, $200 for milk for undernourished children, $194 to the state department, $225 each to Anaheim and Fallerton sub-committees that they might establish dental clinics and conduct tuberculosis prevention programs. Besides this one child was placed and maintained in a preventorium. The quota for this year's work, which includes dental clinics, classes in connection with the P. T. A. and children to be placed in preventoria, is $3,000. This money must be raised by the sale of the Red Seal Stamps. Already the society is sending out thousands of letters, enclosing stamps and asking that they be bought. It is hoped by the society that all the inhabitants of this county will respond readily and help wipe out the dread disease.

Hugh J. Moeller, the superintendent, CHICAGO PATROLMEN GET AUTOS ON BEAT CHICAGO, Dec. 23.—The district patrolman, covering his boat afoot, no longer has a chance to cope with the modern motorized crook, declared Chief Charles Fitzmorris of the Chicago Police Department. "The crooks can watch a policeman on his beat and after he has passed a certain point commit a half dozen crimes and make their getaway, for they know it will be an hour before he is back again." Fitzmorris said. He has recommended the purchase of thirty and later of sixty more autos so that the department will have an even break with the crook; dent, said today he was uncertain when the plant would be in operation.
