device. There is never the fight
and the spirit shown as where all
the men know each other and are
like one big family.
The high school athlete is begin
ming to recognize the advantages of
the smaller institutions and in this
way better material is being found
there.
These same smaller schools are
realizing the advantages of good
clean athletics to the growing boy
and are securing more capable men
as coaches.
l believe it is due to these rea-
sons more than to the change in the
rules favoring the open style of
play that is bringing the small in
stitutions in position to compete
with the larger ones on the football
field.

sity, and such an atmosphere does not
hold water well at ALL Mars Is prob
ably losing water vapor into space all
of the time, and it would probabl, nave
gone dry long ago were the supply not
renewed from some inner source. Pro-
fessor Pickering thinks that there IS
not more than one thousandth as much
water on Mars as there is uil the face
of the earth.
1t does not follow from this. however
that life on Mars is made specially dr.
ficult bv lack of water. We have a
great deal more water than we need on
earth. In fact, if we could drain an
ocean or two into space. and use the
land for farming, 1t would greatly i'm
prove our situation.
In Mars, the scientists now believe,
there probably are no permanent seas
The water in the form Of vapor seems
to perform a sort of seasonable migra-
tion from pole to pole. In the winter
1t covers the poles in great snow caps
that are visible from the earth. In
spring, these snow saps melt with
great rapidity, for evaporation is very
rapid on Mars. Water boils at about
S4 degrees Fahrenheit. The melted
snow forms great marches, which are
also visible from the earth. AS these
evaporate, the winds carry the water
vapor back toward the Martian eaua
tor, and it falls along the way in the
form of rain.
our climate is tempered by the
oceans, and the Martain climate. lack
ing this Influence, must be subject to
terrible extremes, both from season to
season and betwesr-day and night. 1t
is quite possible that the water in
puddles buils at noon on some days
and freezes at night. The Martians
must be hardy bunch.
Lack of space makes 1t impossible
here to discuss in any detail the Mar
tian canals. The claim that Mars is
inhabited by intelligent beings is based
almost wholly on the contention that
these 'ong straight canals could not
be the work of nature. The canals
will have to be studied n great deal
more before science will have any tn
telligent conclusion to offer about
them.

Lynchiing
BY Congressman Guy U. Hardy

Statistics regarding lynching are out for 1921 and
tragic array OF figures is presented. Last year Ga
ynchings known to have occurred in this country.
The year before 81 recorded The total number
victims of mobs the last sc years said to be 4096
OF course it is generally known that this unlawful
penalty falls chiefly the coored year the
proportion was 80 negroes and whites
Some of the victims may have been guilty of crime
and may have been innocent. In of the
the victim in and had no chance to
prove his innocence He was suspected or charged with
a crime and hanged or burned at the stake.
The victims of mob rule have not all been charged
with the crime of rape. of these Southern States
congressman who openly defend the practice would have
YOU believe. OF the 4O96 ynchings, only 20 per cent
charged with rape.
According to figures furnished by the Tuskegee In
sttute the alleged for which men or women were
lynched last year Murder, IL attempted murder
>; woundng men, A. furnishing ammunition to man re-
sisting arrest, q rape Is; attempted rape, killing

marks to l. threatening to kill another,

You can,perhaps see why the members of Congress
from Southern States rise up defend this practice and
oppose any national laws the subject of lyncng
But can you see how any law abiding person who be-
leves in law and order and the protection life from
ruthless slaughter, countenancc the acknowledged
institution of ynching oppose any constitutional law
that might be enacted which would discourage the prac.
