ALL-STAR BOWLERS
TO ENTER BIG GAME
Will Play With National Bowlers
at Atlantic City in
April

Dopesters among the local bowling
enthusiasts are beginning to look
about for material for the all-star
team which is to represent the city in
the National Bowling Association tour
nament in Atlantic City on April IA.
M. d. Frye. manager of the Casino
alleys, will manage the team.
Among the probable choices for the
all-star team are Barnes, with an
average of $40 per match; Atticks,
SCI per match; Montgomery, $50;
Thome, 545, and krall. $40. This team
would average 1855. but at least 1850
could be made by this lineup. This
would be high enough to take prize
at the tournament.
This team has arranged games with
Lebanon. Lancaster, Carlisle, Reading
and Philadelphia The series will
whip the team into shape in plenty
of time.

PROFIT SHARING.

There have been many excellent
examples of profit sharing and reward
ing of faithful service by manufactur-
ing concerns in the present and in
the past, but nothing quite EQUALS the
elaborate and extensive plans which
have been announced by Henry Ford
Of automobile fame when it is planned
to distribute about half the earnings
of the company among the employees
during the ensuing year. This means
that there will be one of the greatest
efforts ever made for cooperative eff
fort between employer and employee, IN
which the greatest cause for rejoicing
lies in the fact that it is voluntary
The ten million which 1t Is expected
will be distributed will be received
through increased pay. not a male
employee receiving less than five dol
lars day, and the reduction in the
hours of labor. Such an effort should
result II. the establishment of ideal re-
lations between the capital and labor
there interested
This great plan of profit sharing is
going to be watched with great deal
of interest. 1t is made possible by
the great growth of the concern and
is based upon the expectations that 1T
VIII continue to be favored with at
least as large a volume of business
as IN the past. It is step which calls
for deserving praise and it is 20 be
hoped that nothing will prevent the
carrying out of all the details of the
plan It is an instance where other
concerns might like to do likewise. but
lack the wFnerewith. However. having
the wealth ard the inclination it is to
the credit of the company that this ac-
ton is to be taken.

FIREPRooF CONSTRUCTION.

The destruction by fire of a dormi-
tory at the Connecticut Agricultural
college calls attention to the necessity
of giving proper consideration to the
matter of fiEepreof construction for
such institutional buildings. The build
ing was not a new one, having been
erected nearly quarter of a century
ago when fireproof construction was
given less attention than toeay, but
the wisdom of guarding against such
loss, even Though insured, and keep
ing the FIRE menace at the minimum
Is apparent. Not only was the dor
mitory burnable, but while afire it most
seriously threatened the main building
which was erected along similar lines
Fortunate circumstances aided mate
rally in keeping the flames from doing
much greater havoc at the state col
lege.
While the burning Of the building
will mean q regretta;ble loss to the
institution it will give the opportunity
for increasing the fireproof structures
at Storrs when the time comes for re-
placing 1T. Additional funds may be
required. but no other method should
be thought of when new plans are con-
sidered. Consideration must be given
to the location, the lives which may

important matter of prevention Moth
ing serves to meet all these important
considerations like freproof construc-
ton. 1t not only gives a permanency
to the buildings, but it contributes that
element Of safety both within and
without which is SO greatly desired

SIR LIONEL GARDEN.

The change of the minister to Mex
leo from Great Britain, Sir Lionel
Garden, to a post in Brazil may be in
the nature of a promotion to this Off
cial, but 1T creates a vacancy which
is not likely to be filled by an APP
pointee of the same stamp as Minister
Garden. Tt is from the attitude which
he has maintained relative to the pol
icy of this country in Mexico that
his promotion is evidently due His
early declarations and criticisms OF
the position taken by this country Gre
ated the sembaance of sympathy with
Huerta's cause by Great Britain which
was unwarranted. This undiplomatic
procedure created an awkward sftua-
ton. 1t brought forth disavowals and
denials and brought to Sudden stop
such talk, whatever the purpose OF
1t may have been.
Now that the affair has passed over
his government changes his post. Il
isn't to be supposed that it is because
of his excellent diplomatic service ir
Mexico that he is selected for high

not eating it is an offense to his stom-
ach. Here one thinks that vaccina-
ton poisons his blood, and there one
that it is necessary and proper. Here
is a large group of people who maintain
that all durable diseases can be cured
without medicines, and there stands a
large group who considers such a posi-
ton absolutely foolish. And so on,
through many volumes. Is it not evil
dent that folly, confusion ana cruelty
are the inevitable results when man
acknowledges no higher authority or

ton of notions and opinions which he
happens to have and which he consid-
ers as binding on all mankind?
Medical regulation of marital mat
ters. compulsory state examination OF
school children, compulsory vaccina-
ton. medical elimination of the unfit,
castration of animals, and medical poll
tics of many kinds are but instances
of confusions. follies and cruelues of

GREATER RESPONSIBILITY.

Within a brief period three people
have been killed in cities of this state
while automobiles were passing cleo
trio cars which were stopped for the
convenience of patrons. These are not
the only instances of deaths from auto
accidents, but they are cases which In
dictate too plainly the absence of a
proper regard and respect for human
life In none of these cases were the
auto drivers proceeding with reckless
speed, but they insisted upon proceed
ing where other vehicle travel would
have stopped and avoided the people
who were struck. Such instances re-
veal the responsibility which every
driver of an automobile must assume
even though he may be within the
letter of the law. The large number of
deaths from auto accidents send up an
emphatic demand for it. 1t is i'm
portant that the public should be rec
ognized as to their existing rights and
privileges. There has been much au-
tomobile legislation but indications
point to more before there will be less.
In holding a Bridgeport chauffeur
criminally responsible for the death
of child although giving him credit
for handling his machine skillfully and
enc1entIy the coroner nOluS lndl COM
mon prudence should have forbidden
him to drive his machine towards an
important street crossing where much
pedestrian travel might be expected
during the Christmas season at speed
of eight miles an hour
1t is this demand that greater re-
sponsibi1ity be realized by the drivers
of motor cars which must be met if
accidents and fatalities are going to
diminish instead of increase.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ject of eugenics. Already some state
legislatures have enacted laws bearing
upon this question, ASSUMING the right
to regulate marital matters through
the medical profession, and it is fair
to presume most of the others will
soon follow suit
Among the manifold propositions in
Nolved is the one which seriously pro-
poses to eliminate the unfit or in other
words, to reduce the matter to a stock
breeding proposition applied to human
ity. i will be readily seen that this
is no idle dream when we read the fol-
lowing editorial in the December num-
Der of the Chicago Medical Advance:

of the Medical Times 1t holds UP as
an ideal the time when the noblest so
cial sentiment and maturer science
will agree that certain infants shall
not be permitted to live The editor of
1.-the Advance says:
The article is quite commonplace
and ordinary; there is nothing about it
worth quoting or mentioning, were it
not for the fact that ii shows the ten
dency of the times. which is strongly
away from the principles and tenets
that ruled mankind until within the
last few years. Compassion. pity, ten
der affection for the afflicted, patiant
care of the sick and suffering, used to
be considered virtues. The wasted
frame and pinched features, the feeble
petulant wall and helplessness of the
baby suffering with marasmus, tuber-
culosis, or any one of the chronic dis
eases that feed on the tender flesh of
infants, was a powerful incentive to
altruiStic efforts to render aid. The
spontaneous rising of the human heart
was to help this little one; to see such
little sufferer even to think of one
was accompanied by a distinctive de-
sire to keep it. Now a mature but

mftted TO live. or, less euphemistically

Who is to determine and upon what

human society there is a continuous
process of the survival of the httest,
while the unfit, the weaklings, are
constantly eliminated. In war 1t is
lust the other way. The fittest-that
is. the bravest, strongest and most
specimens Of the human
stock are picked out and sent away
to be destroyed by bullets and fever.
The unfit, the diseased, the thin
blooded, stop at home. These propa-
gate the race. Hence it is easy to see
how a state of war works TO deterio-
rate the human race.
This is devilution. AS David Starr
Jordan says: In the red field of
human history the natural process of
selection is often reversed"
1t is the triumph of unreason.
The chief ambition of living men
should be that the next and the next
generation should be better and bet
ter. What ought one to think. then
of a condition of society where the
soundest and healthiest bodies are
separated from the mass and led out
to death? Yet such for centuries has
been the practice in Europe.

from his garden and saved the sickly
ones for seed2
