Cynthia Grey
Reader Takes EnceptcB 10 Advice Giucn First
Cousins Who Are Contemplating Interchangeable
Thinks Large Part Of Prejudice Against Such a
Marriage Is SILLY Superstition"

Dear Cynthia Grey 1t seems to me that your comment
and advice on the condition brought to your attention by
Il. that OF contemplated marriage by first cousins is
harmtuly inadequate.
You put it up to them that the only alternative TO their
foregoing this marriage is life of disappointment and you
agree with the view that marriage between first cousins s
without exception unwise
Why don't You tell them the facts which that the
cesso such marriage depends entirely the extent TO
which the parties forbears free from mental
defects I'm other words il they themselves
after invest iga that the first ancestor and his
parents and grandparents were free from nsay or a
tendency toward insanity they may marry and have chill
dren with immunity Even the presence of marked disease
strain such tuberculosis in such ancestors, may
be diSregarded
My advice r. and the persons directly interested is
to consult authoritative scientific work dealing with this
subject and pay attention TO the silly superstition that
governments country full of happy healthy children
who were brought into the world by first cousins RS

OF RECONC|L IATIoN ARE sent

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Waterville, May 6-The attitude of
the Colby athletic council in the
matter of the recent break in ath-
letic relations with the University of
Maine was expressed in a letter
which was sent by the association
and bearing the signature of DR..
George F. Parrlenter, chairman of
the athletic committee of Colby col
lege, to President Little of the Uni
versity of Maine. In this letter, the
Colby authorities express a wish
that the athletic relation be resumed
between the two rival institutions
and an explanation of~the incident
which lead to the seyering of rela-
lions is given.
The letter which was written last
evening is as follows:

My Dear President Little:
Your letter of May second, ad-
dressed to Professor J. D. Taylor, has
been handed to US, the athletic COM
mittee of Colby colleg, as you re-
quested.
The protesting of Professor Archer
Grover as an official of the Maine

Seven Teams Signed
Twilight Baseball
Organize Thursday

Seven teams have already signed
up for the Y. NJ. c. A. baseball
leagues which will soon commence
operations upon the Augusta base
ball diamonds, and there is every
indication that there will be some
fast and aggressive aggregations
cavortlng on the turf when the open
Ing PLAY Ball. Is heard.
The actual organization OF the
league will take place on Thursday
night at the Y. NJ. Z. A. building. At
this time representatives of the
teams who have already s.gnifed
their intention OF joining will be
present and any other organizations
wishing to become members of the
league should arrange to have
someone present to act for their
team. Plans will be laid at this meet
ing for the opening of the league
which will probably take place about
the first of June. 1t is hoped that
another team will join up so that
there will he a fine eight team lea
que with plenty of fun and compe-
tition.
The teams already entered are,
vivckery and Hill Publishing Co,
Gannett Publishing Co, Cushnoc
Paper Co., American Legion. Calu-
met Club. Elks Club and Crossett
shoe Factory. With the talent that
can be found in these organizations
and in others about the city there
is little doubt that the Augusta Twi-
light League will bring to light some
good baseball before the season Is
over.

u. of c. 1O-Man Team
To Attempt Fourth
Victory at Harvard

Cambridge. Mass, May 6.-Unfversi-
ty Sf California will rely on 10 men in
it's attempt to gain fourth successive
intercollegiate track and field cham
pionship at the Harvard Stadium May
80 and 81. according to word received
from Coach Walter Christie OF the
Berkeley athletes. He stated in let
ter to A. c. Bickford, Harvard manager
of the meet that the athletes who viii
come east are Captain William Neu-
feldt, Paul Boren, Verne Dossen, Glenn
Hodson and r. c. Francis and P. II.
Barber.
Last year when California led the
colleges with 39A. points, 10 athletes
contributed In 1922 nine men piled up
4ok points for the title winning Bears.
When Christies team first broke
through the hitherto impregnable east
ern barrier In 1921 by one-half point
margin over Harvard, six Californians
piled up PA points.
California has scored most or It's
points in the field events for the past
two years, having piled up % points in
the discus and javelin out of possible
60 points since that event was included
in the program, in 1922. Once again
Christie has pinned his faith chiehy on
his Jumpers, weight and javelin men,
although Epson, who cleared II feet 3
inches to win the vault against STAN
ford; Jensen, two miller, and Becker,
hurdler, are in the party.
