feel that they are a class apart, not like ordinary youngsters. T h. ey know that their condition is re- garded as pitiable. It is unwholesome for them. They are morally handicapped at the start for the ggl e in life which every one of them must l a t e r undertake.
 The orphan asylum is medieval; it has no proper place in our advanced civili- zation. It should cease to exist.
 The only suitable place in which to rear a child is a home. Not a home of institutional char acter, but a real one. Why not provide that kind of a home for the orphans of every community?
 In any s iza b l Q community there are bound to be many orphans. P a r Q Il { s die. and children,

left without means of subsistence, must be cared for somehow.
 But not all of the inmates of an orphan asylum are children whose par ent are dead. Many of them are the offspring of deserting fathers or worth less mothers. In any case they are help less unfortunates.
 It is not necessary, however, to make them feel that they are unfortunates. There is no good reason for dealing with them in such ways that they shall be regarded as near-outcasts. That IS strong term to apply, but hardly too strong to fit the fact.
 The situation in which the orphan chil- dren are placed is a false one; it ought no longer to endure, That it may not continue to endure is the aim of the new movement
 Why not establish, on the immediate outskirts of city or town, large area with cottage homes for orphan children? Make the place attractive and as differ. cnt as possible from the typical grim asylum" which is really prison,

 There is much else to be told about the new style home for orphans. The area assigned to it is big enough to en- brace a small farm, with a real dirt farmer to raise vegetables for the little people and those in charge of their com fort and welfare. There IS, of course, a house for the farmer and barn. Gar den patches provide occupation and amusement for the children, in planting and growing truck" such as potatoes, tomatoes and lettuce.
 A good-sized building is a gymnasium purpose of an auditorium, in which movies may be shown and plays pre- sented by the children. Other buildings provide for a power plant, a laundry and garage. There is also an admins tration building, containing the requisite offices, and a receiving cottage in which newly arrived little ones are tenn porarily quarantined, until it is made sure that they bring no infectious dis eases.

NO LIFE. IS SAFE

Discussion of crime and the appar- ent inability of officials to deal with it has occupied much space in the public prints for a long time. It may be that the discussion is becoming tiresome to readers. But the contin- ued menace of thugs and killers is even more tiresome and the public must be awakened to this national menace.
 Gradually it appears to be dawn ing upon the straight-thinking DOT tion of the people that while many factors contribute to the prevalence of serious crime, failure to promptly and adequately punish bandits and murderers lies at the root of the whole matter.
 Of 205 murderers in Cleveland, only two were sentenced to death. Of 10S in Chicago, only one was hanged. Other cities show a similar shocking condition of affairs.
 While it is terrible thing to take human life, even through a legal ex- ecution, it is not so terrible as it is to permit innocent persons to be slaughtered at the rate of more than 10000 year in the United States.
 Until the people shall rise up and demand a reform of criminal proceed ure in this country, no life is safe

CROP ACREAGE CONTROL

Every year following the produc- tion of a large surplus of any farm crop much is heard of plans for re- ducing the acreage of that crop. But as rule this agitation doesn't amount to anything.
 Each farmer regulates his own plant ing to suit himself and does not seem likely that any concerted movement for controlling the individual in this matter will ever meet with much sue cess
 One psychological effect of crop reduction campaigns is pointed out by P O. Davis, editor of the Exten- sion Service in Alabama, writing of the proposal to cut cotton acreage in the South in 1926. His observa- tions apply with equal force to other crops. He says:
 Attacking cotton is a mistake. A great many farmers decide to plant as much or more cotton, thinking that others have decided to reduce, and that as a result the crop will be smaller and the price higher.
 He advises, therefore, that the question of acreage be ignored, but that each farmer be urged to raise his own ofod, stock feed and every thing needed for home use. Then by the adoption of economical meth ods in producing his main crop, he will have a good chance of showing satisfactory profit at the end of the year, regardless of the acreage or yield

He sent the article to the All

ut is not the question Of winning

wrote the famous coach of the Col

Colby Hockey
Team Starts with
BOWdOin Today

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Waterville, Me-, Jan. IL. - Colby
will start the winters hockey sched-
ule Wednesday afternoon at Bruns-
wick when they face the Black Bow
dom Bears in what is considered to
be the hardest game of the state
series for the Waterville team. Bow
doin sprung a new one last Saturday
when she shut the Bates crew out
!. in the cold without a single counter.
Bates has never been blanked by a
, team in the Maine Intercollegiate Sc
ries until that occasion, and has not
slipped far from her former standard
this winter If present reports are
true. However, Bowdoin las gather
ed team which will be able to give
an excellent account Of itself in any
company this winter. With several
veterans back on the ice, and vet
eran in the cage who last Saturday
knocked several possible Garnet
scores for goose egg, they should
be the top-heavy favorites to win the
state title.
Colby will send a team to Bruins
wick which has not yet had chance
to show it's caliber. Bowdoin will be
the first to give the Waterville men
a taste of real battle, and with a
team not yet proven, the resul. Is
not easy to figure.
Captain Harry Muir who has been
out of the game for some time due
to an injured ankle may get into the
game for a short time, and If this
is possible the Blue and Gray chanc-
es will be better than they looked a
few days ago. Evan Johnson will be
unable to play because of an injury,
and this will leave the team copsid-
erably weaker, as he was fast
skater and had seen battle in his de-
Tense position. Jack MCGOWAN will
be the greatest threat in scoring as
he has shown his ability on past oc-
casions. Gould will start at center
and should show up we'll although he
has not seen too much intercollegiate
competition. However, he is fast
skater and works hard. as well as
being able to lift the puck for
point when least expected. Peacock
and Drummond will be in the defen-
sive positions. and should cause the
Black forwards lot of trouble. Both
have seen varsity competition and
will have the added advantage OF
weight. Fagerstrom is elected to
guard the cage and will be valuable
to the team because Of his exper-
fence.

Says College Men
Should Not Enter
Cross Country Sports

Boston, Jan. 12.-(AP)-Cross-
country racing and long distance rum
ming are not sports for college men, in
the opinion of John A. Ryder. track
coach of the Boston Athletic Associa-
ton and Boston College. Coach Ryder
has positive opinions about distance
running and assails it as a sport for
the mentally phlegmatic, not suited to
active intelligence and imagination. He
feels the gruelling training to- be in
furious to the boy who must study. He
pronounces the shorter distances as
superior in developing physique s.
rs It BETTING the mentality Of a
college young man who has spent four
. years in preparatory school to attempt
long hours over home lessons after a
Sruelllng five, six or seven-mile run?
l, for one, would not give such men
such work"
Let the more phlegmatic Finn win
the Olympic long distance honors. he
suggests. He feels that the impatient
American temperament is unsuited for
such sport.
To me there is no f1nesse to the
coaching, no Sense to the race .
Among those who never reach college
are some who might just as we'll be
plugging at long distance running as
doing what they would be doing were
they no running. Scrutinize a photo
!. graph of group of Marathon runners
and sohloquize, well, they might as
we'll be doing it One would search
long in sue photograph for a typical
college boys face. -"
In the case of working boys"
Coach Ryder says, Tong distance run
ming is often the graveyard of blight
ed ambition" He explains that the
! marathoner is often the man who has
failed at the shorter distances.
I'm running. speed and strength are
synonymous: good sprinter is a
powerful fellow. To compare him mem
tally with 25-mile runners would be
to insult him.
Let the Firms win future cross
country and Marathon Olympic races"
he said. THE type of American run
ner who might consistently be trained
to oppose them do not get into college
The question is not so much one of
physique as it is of the use of BRAINS"
