THURSDAY NIGHT

Boston, March 9.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission brought to a
close tonight it's hearing on milk pro-
duction and transportation in New
England held here during the past two
weeks in connection with the petition
Of the Boston & Maine Railroad for
Increases in carrying rates. Counsel
tor the railroad will have a month in
which to file briefs and two weeks
more time will be allowed for briefs of
protesting farmers, contractors and
others. Oral arguments will be made
before the commission in Washington

decision.
Objections to the shipment of milk
under the leased car system, were pre-
scented by the milk committee of the
Boston Chamber Of Commerce. In pre-
senting the report of the committee.
Sec. John c. circuit stated that the
leased car system which had been
abolished in Massachusetts gave the
dealers a monopoly in buying territory
and that the farmers had to accept
what the dealers offered. The commit
tee favored a higher rate for cream
than for milk.
Mr.. circuit declared the committee
had no figures as to the cost Of trans
porting milk but had objected to the
leased car plaR because of the belief
that 1t tended to create monopoly.

COLBY BOYS IN
NEW ROLE WHEN
STORM COMES

The storm of Wednesday night
threatened to tie up the Maine Central
yards in this city as the snow packed
into the switches and it proved to he
hard job to keep them open so that
they could be thrown as needed. The
section crews were all called out. but
1t was found almost impossible to get
tne usual extra men. Finally someone
suggested that it would be possible to
get number of the college boys to
come out and help and a man was
sent over there to hire all possible.
he arrived on the campus at about 9
O'Clock and announced that those who
wanted to work would be given day
and a half at regular section mans
pay for work until morning. About 40
Of the boys responded to the call and
in a short time the switches were
cleared out and were kept clear until
the end of the storm. The railroad men
found the boys good workers, one fore
man remarking that any one Of them
did more work in the time that they
were employed than the average Poi
ack and Greek that they are employ
ing on the section row, does in four
days, apd in addition when you told
him once how to keep the switch clear
you could go somewhere else and feel
certain that that switch was taken
care of, while with the Polacks if you
turned around he forgot completely
what you told him. 1t was A great help
to the railroad men and On the boys
part Il vas a great lark getting out in
the snow and working through the
night, the weather not being at all
cold. The pay was good and they had
a good time, and are already for the
reyt storm

position of honest and efficient govern
ment.

This is campaign devoted to the in
terests Of children all over the United
States. 1t is campaign neither Of poll
tics, commerce. nor reform, but one
purely of education and includes every
citizen in it's purpose. which Is that of
teaching the community the value of its
infant population. We are taking part
in Oakland in what is really nation
wide movement for wider recognition
and profounder realization of the fact
that this or any other community can
determine largely the character of its
future citizens by the attention which
1t gives to the needs of its children.
Babies are the raw materie. of civ
ilization, the plaster clay to be
wrought partly at least by our hands
into what form We will. If we de-
eide that we have no responsibility for
shaping and moulding this clay, we
show ourselves to be outside the pres
ent trend of scientific thought. Leading
thinkers not only in the United States
but all over the civilized world are
telling US that there is no better index
to the intelligence of any given COM
munity than the one to be read in the
conditions under which it allows it's in
FAINT citizens to develop; the comfort
of its houses. the purity Of its drink
ing water, the cleanliness and care
demanded of it's milk producers, the
civic regulations over refuse removal,
the fly nuisance, drainage. the pro-
vision Of fresh air and recreation, and
the general oversight it exercises over
its sanitary conditions This is the re-
sponsibility of every adult citizen
whether parent or not. Baby week has
been instituted for the purpose of
bringing home this responsibility to
all of US. Look about you and ask
yourself whether the conditions in this
community are such as make it an
ideal place for children.
Special pictures of interest to the
children have been secured at the Toy
theatre for Friday and Saturday eve
