WORK BEGUN ON
NEW U, S. PRISON
Preliminary construction has start-
ed on the world's most modern pris-
on, the new United States Federal
Penitentiary for the Northeastern
District, on a 26-acre tract in Kel-
ly township, Union county, Pennsyl-
vania,
Construction work of the general
outline and the first unit isin charge
of the Great Lakes Construction
Company of Chicago.
The contract, awarded for $2,781,-
000 calls for completion of the first
section, to accommodate about 1,500
prisoners, in 425 working days.
The entire project covers a 10-
year building program, an expendi
ture of about $12,000,000 and a peni-
tentiary to accommodate 5,000 pris-
oners to be drawn from the north-
eastern section of the United States.
The builders’ first task was grad-
ing of the site by removing from
eight to ten inches of the top soil
over the 26-acre area, jurisdiction
over which has been ceded the fed-
eral government by Pennsylvania.
The wall, which will surround the
tract, will rise 21 feet and will be
eight feet below the surface. Esti-
mates of materials to be used in-
cluded 3500000 bricks; 650,000
square feet of cement block; 650,000
barrels of cement; 70,000 tons of
sand; 60,000 tons of cut stone, and
30,000 tons of other stone.
Wells are being dug to provide
adequate water supply, The Read-
ing railroad has run a two-mile sid-
ing to the tract. Electric lines and
telephone lines are being strung
from Lewisburg.

WORSE THAN WAR
During the 18 months of the World
war, 50,510 members of the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Force were killed
in action or d of wounds.
During the 18 months preceding
January 1931, 50,900 people were
killed in automobile accidents in
this country,
There could be no better illustra-
tion of the seriousness of the auto-
mobile accident situation.
According to a survey by the Trav-
elers Insurance Company, the
ing cause of accidents in +1980 was
failure to give right of way, which
accounted for 15 per cent of deaths
and 31.5 per cent of injuries. Sec-
ond was excessive speeding, which
was Feshulisible for 21 per cent of
all accidents, and third, driving on
the w side of the road, which
totaled 16 per cent.
Higher speed is a natural result
of improved roads and cars. But
the other two primary causes of ac-
cidents—which together accounted
for 27 per cent of deaths and 47.7
per cent of injuries—amount to
simple ignorance, recklessness or
carelessness. They show improper
training on the part of the motorist,
coupled with inadequate enforcement
of modern traffic codes, is well with-
in the limits of plausibility.
Every year complete and detailed
resumes of the year's acel-
dent record are prepared. Study of
them should show what enforcement
is needed, what can be accomplished,
A few States, in a period of rising
hazards, have managed to appreci-
ably decrease accidents within their
borders. All other States can do the
same.
