WOMEN COME INTO THEIR OWN IN PRISON AFFAIRS - Although penology generally has been identified with the male sex, women have come into their own in recent years in connection with crime and its study. The women in the accompanying photograph are active in the sessions of the American prison congress, in annual session at the Claypool hotel. They are, left to right: Mrs. Blanche LaDu of Minneapolis, chairman of the Minnesota state board of prison control and vice president of the congress; Mrs. [sic] Elizabeth Munger of Niantic Conn., superintendent of that state's women's state farm; Mrs. Maude Ballington Booth of New York, leader of the Volunteers of America; and Mrs. Frederic W. Upham of Chicago, member of the advisory board of the Women's Federal Industrial institute. (Star Staff Photo.)
