ARE THERE TOO MANY COLLEGES.

That there are too many colleges in
the United States with inadequate
equipment and support, attempting TO
give full courses for the bachelors de-
gree; that much duplication Of work is
going on; and that there could be q
profitable merging OF existing institu-
tons to the resultant benefit of the
institutions and the community; these
are differences that may be clearly
drawn from the report OF Dr. K. G.
Babcock, in the year book of the COM
mission of education, just issued.
The problem is particularly acute at
this time in the case Of state supported
institutions. Many Of the states have
their work of higher education central
ICED In the state university or agricul-
tural college; but in nine states there
are three or more state-supported and
state-controlled institutions. 1t Is in
these states, particularly, that condi-
tions are ofen found under which the
distribution and sub division Of what
should be unified function Of the
state as a whole has led inevitably to
waste, duplication, undesirable compe-
tition for appropriations, and cam
paigning for students in order to get
more appropriations"
The report comedies that in some
states circumstances demand that the
institutions be distributed in accord
auce with special needs. Thus there is
an obvious advantage in the location OF
the Michigan College Of Mines and the
Missouri School Of Mines in the mining
districts Of those states. Furthermore,
waste due to duplication of faculty,
equipment and buildings is frequently
overestimated. There is no loss OF
economy or of efficiency" he says, in
carrying on in different places the
work Of the first year, or the first two
years, Of 4 liberal arts course or of a
course preliminary to chronological
work, provided the faculty and equip
uent OF these two years are fully util-
ICED.
s'It is when specialized and techno-
logical work is begun in the second or
third year Of the ususl course, when
the services of high-salaried men and
enormously expensive equipment are
required. that the waste and efficiency
Of plant inevitably appear
Considerable effort has recently been
put forth to prevent needless duplica-
ton, both in the case OF public and
private institutions, but SO far little
actual consolidation on the part OF
state institutions has taken place.

A REAcT1oNARY BAR

IDes Moines Register and LEADER
1t is not at all difficult TO UNDER
stand the readiness with which IN Times
of unrest the people take up with any
proposed radicalism for the reform OIL
courts and court procedure. me law
yers themselves refuse to be shaken
loose by anything short OF reoeiiion.
For the third time now the state bar
had gone on record In oppo-
sition to simple proposal to get RID
of purely technical reversals in the
supreme court. This is all the more
since it may seem the
change was proposed by Judge Deemer,
whose long experience has made MIN
better acquainted than any lawyer In
the state with the failures OF Justice,
and the tremendous cost OF justice
when Justice is tediously and slowly
administered.
If these things were not done better
elsewhere, and Iowa were being asEeo
to do something never before heard OIL
there might be excuse for reasonable
hesitation. But why should Iowa still
cling to the notion that a man may not
be properly tried for the crime he has
committed because Of an incidental
clerical error in. the Indictment. when
in the English courts no attention at all
is paid to the form in which the offense
is charged, the whole finding out
whether an offense was In fact com
mitted. and whether the man under
arrest Is the guilty party.
The recognition OF technical error
now is exactly what it was in the old
days Of common law pleading, a dis
regard Of the substantial rights OF the
litigants and Of the community, IN
order that few adroit pracucins
lawyers may profit out Of the incidental
mistakes Of courts and iurie.- There
are cases in the old reports where q
plaintiff was non-suited because an "f
had not been dotted or q ST. crossed,
at least an old English Judge can be
quoted as deciarins that DO would ::e::
suit for such cause.

URGING GREAT SALE
 OF CANNED FOODS

Dealers. grocers, jobbers and manufac- turers all over the country are joining hands during the week of March 31st to April 5th in an effort to acquaint house wives with the economy and quality of canned foods.
 It Is now a we'll known fact that heat is the only preservatiye used in preparing these economical foods. The cans are sealed and sterilized at a temperature of 250 degrees, which prevents any contami- nation and keeps the contents fresh and wholesome as the day the tins were filled in the canneries.
 National Canned Foods Week, during which dealers and grocers will make canned foods their sales-features, is for the purpose of demonstrating to house. wives that the cost of living can be cut with such foods, and that they may be served in hundreds of delightful ways, and thus served daily without monotony.
 The farmers wife especially finds it ad- vantageous to relieve herself of all the cooking possible and Canned Foods en- able her to do this and at the same time improve the quality of her meals.
 Women in every community should ob- serve National Canned Foods Week by going to the dealers and putting in a SUD- ply. The saving and general satisfaction in the use of Canned Foods is entirely worth while.-Adv.

JUST A LITTLE TOO HASTy
Chances Are Colonel Newton Will h. vestigate Hereafter Before He
 Makes a Complaint.

Have you noticed that dead dog in Harris back yard?9 inquired Col onel Newton at the breakfast table
 No, l haven't; I didn't know they had a dog, his wife returned.
 No more did l. but there's a dead dog lying in heir back yard, and it's been there for a day or two. If it isn't disposed of by tomorrow I shall notify the health department"
 As the dog was still there, stretched stiff and stark. upon his return at night, the colonel telephoned the health department to come in the morning and remove the body of a dead dog in his neighbor's back yard which was becoming offensive
 The men came early, before the col onel had left home. to attend to the matter. He saw them pick up the animal, drop it suddenly and turn away. The colonel, mystified, hur- ried out to see about it.
 Why didn't you take that dog away" he sputtered.
 The officer eyed him coldly. "Aw, come off, he said, in a tone of dis gust, that's a stone dog; piece of bricky-brac; put out there for the ash man."

 Precious Blessing
To Make IT Healthy and Keep if HedIfhyUSe q Re-
 HdbIe Baby Ld1afipe

In spite of the greatest personal care and the most intelligent attention to diet, babies and children will be- come constipated, and it is a fact that constipation and indigestion have wrecked many a young life. To start with good digestive apparatus is to start life without handicap.
 But as we cannot all have perfect working bowels we must do the next best thing and acquire them, or train them to become healthy. This can be done by the use of a laxative-tonic very highly recommended by a great many mothers. The remedy is called pr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin and has been on the market for two genera tions. It can be bought conveniently at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar bottle, and those who are already convinced of it's merits buy the dollar size.
 Its mildness makes it the ideal medi- icine for children, and 1t is also very pleasant to the taste. It is sure in it's effect and genuinely harmless. Very little of 1t is required and it's frequent use does not cause it to lose it's effect, as is the case with so many other remedies
 Thousands can testify to it's merits in constipation, indigestion, bilious ness, sick headaches, etc, among them reliable people like Mrs. M Johnson, 752 Dayton St, Kenosha. Wis. She is the mother of little Dorothy Johnson who was always in delicate health un- til her mother gave her Dr Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin. Mrs Johnson says:
