Lawes Talks Crime To 1,000 In Hoch
By ED GARICH
Lewis E. Lawes, probably the only man who can come and go at Sing Sing prison as he pleases spoke to an audience of about 1.000 last night in Hoch auditorium in the second of the University lecture course talks.
Leading off with the rather disquieting statement "as I look around, I see one or two familiar faces." Lawes went on to tell the audience not to misunderstand him.
Introduced as the warden of the "institution noted for the long terms of its inmates and the short terms of its wardens," Lawes coated his moral pill of social correction with the sugar coating of personal anecdotes from his 25 years of experience in criminal correction, and kept his listeners entertained throughout his hour and 10-minute lecture.
Sees Familiar Faces
Reassured, the crowd then listened while the penologist plunged forthwith into his experiences in the business of proving that crime does not pay. He pointed out that criminals are a result of many causes, and claimed that "no one just becomes a criminal in a minute." Supporting the assertion, he said that most of the criminals who come to the prison are from the slums. He also exploded the theory that certain races are more criminally inclined than others. 4 Per Cent are College Men
Of interest to the college world is the fact that only about 4 per cent of the inmates at the prison are college men, although almost 70 per cent are high school graduates. Lawes blamed the school systems. "Individualization in education is needed to get the results we expect from education," he said. Quoting from his experience, the warden told of an inmate in one institution who was a million-dollar bank robber, but who got 100's in all the ethics courses in the institution. Using this as an example, Lawes said that an "ounce of right-feeling is worth a ton of right-thinking."
Delving into the problems of penal correction, the speaker pointed out that as soon as a man is put in prison, the public promptly considers its re sponsibility for him at an end. Lawes condemned the attitude, and stated that when a man is turned out of the prison, he comes back into society, and if he "comes back with murder in his heart and revenge on his mind he will take it out on someone, and that is usually the public."

YOU NEVER SEE HIM-BUT HIS EXTRA SKILL FLIES WITH YOU EVERY MILE!
WILLIAM H. MILLER - Flight Supt., American Airlines
THE ARMCHAIR above is his cockpit—but Bill Miller flies as many as 100 planes a day. North, south, east, and west from New York's LaGuardia Field (air view upper right) his radio control-room directs the flying course of American's flagships.
Flier, navigator, engineer, traffic executive all in one-yes, flight superintendent Bill Miller is a man with the extras—a man who gets the smoking extras, too... in Camels.
For Camel's costlier tobaccos and slower way of burning give you more than mildness—they give you extra mildness and coolness with a flavor that holds its appeal right through the last extra puff. Camels also give you extra smoking per pack (see right).
GET THE "EXTRAS" WITH SLOWER-BURNING
In recent laboratory tests, CAMELS burned 25% slower than the average of the 15 other of the largest-selling brands tested -slower than any of them. That means, on the average, a smoking plus equal to
5 EXTRA SMOKES PER PACK!
