savant- 1t has been truism for ages
that to marry is to settle down. to be-
come steady and Responsible Now. Dr.
Bertillon. on the basis of very elaborate
French statistics and studies, has pro-
mulgated certain theories" concerning
the relation between marriage, family
life and criminality. There is nothing
strange or new in these theories, but
they are interesting simply because they
are now demonstrable by facts and fig
ures.
Crime, DR.. Bertilon shows, is not as
rife" among married men as among
bachelors; the bringing up of family
imposes ''beneficent burdens" and creates
desire for respectability and an honored
name. Widowers revert to the criminal
ity records of wild Notwithstanding
"Apaches." Childless widowers are the
worst offenders OF all: they stand high
est on the crminality lists. This shows
the value of wOmans control COM
partnership. The presence of children is
wholesome and deterrent but the best
moral condition of all is complete family
life. with a wife and mother to guide the
household and inspire-or curb-"the old
man."

The work of the brigade team in the
match with the midshipmen last Monday
showed the result Of careful training in
rapid and skirmish firing. The weak spot
Il 900 yards-is likely to receive careful
attention up to the date Of departure of
the team for Camp Perry. The result Of
carefully studied on account of its bear
ing in selecting the shooting partners to
compose the team.
The rife range will be open every day
after July 6 for voluntary practice It is
expected that members of the guard who
failed to attend ordered practice, and
those who desire to increase their scores
for advanced grades, will take advantage
Of the opportunities offered to do SO. For
their convenience rifles have been pro-
vided at the range. This removes one Of
the objections which have hitherto pre-
vented officers and enlisted men from
taking advantage Of voluntary practice
days to fire their scores.
The superintendent Of the range, Capt.
King, Will send each week to the COM
pany commanders the names of those
firing with record of scores. that the
company records may be kept posted and
the delinquents urged to fire their scores,

campment at Gettysburg from July 10 tc

First Lieut. William A. Duvau. superin
tendent Of the armory, has adopted Q
plan which, he believes, will eliminate
confusion and trouble in arranging and
sorting the equipment of the various
organizations of the brigade when they
reach the camp grounds. He has de-
cided to mark the equipment Of each or
sanization with a special color, SC that
when camp Is reached the members may
at once secure their tents. poles, axes
lanterns, etc, without experiencing de-
lay.
The colors to be used are: LIST Infantry.
