must label that fact. Butter, however,
which is artificially colored most of the
year, enjoys special privileges and does
not have to comply with the law. On
the other hand, vitaminized margarine,
when colored yellow, is subject to a
Federal tax of 10c a pound. Doesn't
seem fair, does it?

How about it? Are you too free with
soap and detergents when washing
dishes and clothes. Manufacturers say
that women use a great deal more wash-
ing powder than is necessary. Might be
worth checking.

In the stores now is a new double
boiler with a double function. The top,
with small handles jutting out from
either side, becomes an attractive cas-
serole which looks mighty nice on any
dinner table.

Next time you serve a meat pie, add
a little “poultry seasoning" to the bis-
cuit dough. You'll regret the times you
haven't done it.

Commercially prepared baby foods
are a time saver, of course. But how
do they compare in cost with home
prepared vegetables and fruits? Well,
it's good news for the busy mother For
figures prove that even when fuel and
time are not included, the commercial
foods are cheaper.

NEWS-ODDITIES
By Fox
CHICAGO—What does the college man wear to class? That question,
asked by Marshall Field & Company’s Store for Men in a back-to-school
survey of 32 colleges and universities, revealed a drastic difference of fashion
opinion. On the left, in loafers, slacks and a sports shirt, is the typically
casual Western man. His Eastern friend, however, is dressier by far in his
knit tie, white shirt, jacket, slacks and white shoes. Eighty per cent of the
Ivy Leaguers wear shirts and ties to class, while 90 per cent of Western boys
wear sports shirts, according to Field’s survey, which was made for use in
ecuy outfitting collegians in its Quadrangle shop.

OFFICE SUPPLIES
In Denison 27 Years
freshened old ones. It is the begi-j
ning of tangible results of the El-
lis plan.
0. B. Ellis became general man-
ager Jan. 1, 1948, in the Prison
Board’s drive to correct conditions
that had made Texans' faces red.
The former chief of a model pen-
al farm at Shelby County, Tenn.,
developed his plan.
It became a reality last March
w’hen nine new laws and almost
$5,000,000 were given him by the
Legislature to do the job.
Work started immediately.
Inmates step briskly as they
work to build here in the walls a
new cell block to hold 575 of the
incorrigibles in separate cells; a
new industrial shop building, and
a crafts building for the inmates
to use.
About 200 inmates are at work
on the buildings. Construction
Supt. A. li. McKain had high praise
for their work. His records show
they equal or exceed civilian pro-
duction standards.
They vie for assignments to the
new construction group. It is a
sought-after prison privilege and
they work to keep it.
Steel columns already gare arisin
in the industrial shop building,
which will replace crumbly old shop
buildings that are just short of be-
ing a century old.
In the new building will go mod-
ern machinery to operate plumb-
ing, electrical, welding, sheet met-
al, automobile and truck shops.
Its dimensions are 218 by 153 feet
and its cost about $225,000.
The new cell block will cost
about $890,000. It will form a 4-
story solid wall across the entire
width of the yard formed by the
main walls. That will cut payroll
costs by eliminating a lot of night j
picket guards.
It will he a little Alcatraz with-
in the prison. Its exterior walls
will he solid. Cells will face into
windows on a closed courtyard. Its
design is aimed at providing maxi-
mum securitiy with the minimum
number of guards.
It will occupy the site of the
shabby and antiquated shop build-
ing, an eyesore even in u prison.
It is being built in three units with
one-third of the shop building de-
molished as each unit is stated.
Ellis took a look at the waste
food that went into the garbage
cans and tried a new system He
put it up to the men and let them
serve themselves in a cafeteria.
They take all they want and less
food goes into the herbage pails.
Just before Ellis took over,
January 1, 1948, there was a strike
of inmates at one prison farm in
protest against the menu and qual-
ity of the food. Now complaints
are rare.
Guards and prison officials eat
the same food that comes out of
the spotless and shining kitchen
here.
Typical of the menu was Tues-
day’s fare:
Breakfast—Sugar cured bacon,
brown gravy, oven fried potatoes,
oatmeal, stewed prunes, sweet
milk, hot rolls, cane syrup, cane
sugar and coffee.
Dinner — Fried pork chops,
brown gravy, stewed okra, oven
fried potatoes, fresh green peas,
corn on the cob, bread dressing,
vegetable soup, toasted crotons,
beet pickles, hot ten, Jiffet
bread, hot corn bt«a4, mpicS -cob-
bler, cane syrup and iced tea.
Supper—-Meat pot pie, French
fried potatoes, creamed f»e*b
corn, boiled pinto bean*, candied
sweet yams, left over soup, toasted
crotons, string green bean salad,
hot rolls, rice pudding with pine-
apples and hot coffee.
Waiden R. E. Moore, happy to
have an unannounced guest check
the dinner menu and the food,
proudly added “and everything on
the table is prison-grown.”
