THE OSBORNE CASE,

Thus far there appears to be a
complete vindication for Thomas Mott

whose activity in behalf Of prison re-
form has brought about much oppo-

were secured against him has fallen
to the ground. from the decision
given by Supreme Court Justice
Tompkins the charge of perjury, which
was made against him failed because
it could not be supported in law.

CHANCE TO DEMONSTRATE AVA
TON SERVICE.

In the expedition which has been
started into Mexico for the purpose
of capturing Villa, this country is go
ing to have the opportunity for
the first time of putting into use the
aviation Branch Of the army. General
Pershing is going into territory which
has few if any railroad accommoda-
lions, a desert region and mountainous
country, in an effort to locate those
who are thoroughly acquainted with
every nook and corner. Not only will
he need to be in communication with
all his forces but any information
which he can obtain regarding the
movement of the enemy is bound to
be of value, and it can be appreciated
that the wireless and the aeroplane
are bound to be of the greatest bene-
fit in this connection.
Thus it can be appreciated that the
claim is not too radical when it is
maintained by aviation enthusiasts
| that every aeroplane will be worth a
thousand soldiers in this campaign.
| The aviator is bound to be Of inval-
liable use not only for messenger SER
| vice but for the purpose of scout duty.
| The protection which can be furnish
| ed through such a service is invalua-
| BILE. 1t has been recognized during
the Mexican revolution and used to a
| limited extent but it must be appre-
ciated that the opportunity for trying
out the merits of the aviation corps
cannot be overlooked. 1t will not be
surprising if the help that is rendered
by the air squad proves of such g
| character as to call greater attention
to the lack of preparation to meet
just such an emergency than has evel
been given in the past. The situation
| in Europe should be sufficient but il
is apparent that the present trouble
with Mexico will bring the matter
home with greater emphasis.

THE cATERPrLLARs

Recognizing the need of exterminat-
ing the gypsy moths, Prof. O'Kane of
the department of entomology of New
Hampshire state college not only be-
1ieves that effective work can be done
by starving the young ones, but urges
that such be done by removing the
birch and oak the prevailing hard
wood trees, upon which the caterpil-
lars of less than two weeks old feed
This is what he is practicing in a
number of model woodlots scattered
over that state for the purpose of pro-
tecting the other trees.
In that section, however, birch and
oak do not grow so freely as they do
in other localities. Pine is to be
found in abundance but it furnishes
little sustenance for the baby cater
pillars, so that if they can be killed
off by starvation through the sacri-
fee Of the birch and oak, he considers
a benefit has been gained thereby
However various states may work
to keep down the pest, it is to be I'M
derstood that it is a matter which
ought not to be neglected. The pest
should be fought at every opportunity
and it cannot help but be realized
that much good has been accomplish
Su III Id1S SIale ny the removal and
burning Of the egg masses. Millions
of eggs have thus been disposed of
and it means much less work and the
same results are obtained without the
sacrifice Of the trees if every one who
i is interested in placing a check upor
the pest does his part. The gypsy
moth is a destroyer OF vegetation tc
such an extent that it ought to re.
quire little urging to get the whole
countryside interested in destroyfnt
it, but It is chiefly through the lack O
attention concerning this and the ten
caterpillar that they multiply so rap
idly and do so much damage.

is president of the Yale Engineering
Association formed last year which is
taking an active interest in the en-
cheering departments of the Univer-
sity, and in promoting the interests of
graduates in engineering. His own
career and his active connection with
large interests which employ many
college graduates in various depart
ments qualified him to speak with re-
gard to a choice of a career in a way
which benefits the general student as
well as the engineering student.

There Is no disposition to criticise the
army or navy, because man for man
they are undoubtedly the equal OF any
in the world, but events in Europe the
past two years have shown that men
are not the only agents to decide
victory Numbers may not insure
safety, but if large bodies are proper
~ equipped with all the auXiliaries of
modern warfare, a country has a bet
ter show of not coming out of the con-
fiict battered beyond recognition. Pu-
nitive expedition is a euphoneous term
for an ugly possibility. Everyone
hopes that the untoward thing will not
happen, but there is little to bolster
this hope, and the idea OF practically
the entire regular army being on duty
in Mexico is not calculated to make
one feel particularly safe as regard
possibilities in other directions.-Meri-

The lecture that was read by Mayor
Schumacher to the members of the
board of aldermen the other night on
the subject of indifference to the du-
ties of their office was not undeserv-
ed. II is a characteristic of our polit-
ical system that many Of us believe
that election to office brings with 1t
honors, but not the least responsible
ity. That idea Is all wrong. Election to
membership in the board OF aldermen
or to any other municipal position,
WI ether 1t brings financial reward or
not, carries with it a requirement OF
efficient service. In the case of the
aldermen It calls for prompt attend
ance at regular meetings. The mayor
is right in urging the officials to DE
meetings of the city's legislative board
prompt in their appearance at the
and constant in their Attendance. In
that way and that way only can they
fulfil their duty to the vo-e.s who gave

The grounds of litigation are al
most boundless. One can always ind
reasons for bringing suit. Here is
an instance in the news columns. in
a divorce suit the plaintiffs daughter
testified and the revelation of her
own delinquencies caused her father
so much humiliation and loss of repu-
tation that he entered suit for $4,000
damages against the man the daugh-
ter mentioned as her associate. It will
be interesting to know how this suit
will terminate. If the suit is success
full, IL will show how far one may go
into ones environment for a cause of
action. There was humiliation, no
doubt, and loss OF reputation possibly,
but the difficulty will be in measuring
them in dollars and cents And then
IL will occur to a jury how much that
father might have done to save him
self from humiliation, If he had raised
that daughter right, so she would not
have been inclined to loose ways. That
humiliation might be the fathers fault
In part, so we are quite sure he will
not get that $4,000 or anything like
it.-Torrington Register.

Each year with the Increase in the
college registration the difficulty of
accommodating the students in the
three upper classes increases. Dean
Jones has presented a partial solution
of this problem by dividing the dor
mitory rooms into three sections:
those rooms suitable for occupation by
three men; those which two men can
occup; and the rooms limited to one
occupant. Since formerly rooms which
ordinarily accommodate two men with
comfort have often been crowded to
| an undesirable capacity by the occu-
patton of three men, and rooms suit
| able for three men have often been
| occupied by two men, Dean Jones So
luton seems quite practicable. The
senior class at present numbers ap-
proximately PSI. When these men
| graduate in June their places will be
| taken by the members of the junior
| class which numbers 40 men. The
| sophomore class, which will occupy the
| Oval, has 396 men, and there is normal
! space in the Oval for 800 men. At the
present time great many requests
have already been made for permission
to take a third man in a suite. partly
| to accommodate a larger number but
partly for economical reasons. 1t fire.
quently happens that the least desir-
able double rooms are the ones occu-
pied by three men, and since it is
necessary for more than the normal
rooms, is it well to indicate those
rooms are best fitted for an additional
occupant Some of the studies are
much larger than others, and some of
the bedrooms have large windws or
in many cases double windows. A
partial solution of the problem con-
sists in making three divisions of DOR
mitory rooms: first, those which can,
without actual discomfort, be occupied
by three men; second, those which can
not be occupied by more than two
men; lastly, those which must be linn
l1ted to one occupant. If the students
in the various classes divide accord
ingly, and if romS are assigned to the
different sets of applicants as indicat-
ed above, 1t would be possible-with g
minimum of discomfort to accommo-
date the largest possible number OF
2 men, and this is the plan proposed fol
t the coming year. By this plan, the
, practice of putting three men in IN
suitable quarters would be obviated
and 1t would make possible the hous-
n ing Of all college men in dormitories.
