The advisabil- ity of engaging in such industry is often set forth in addresses to farmers with an accompanying state- ment of the returns which should be obtalned therefrom. Such opinions are based upon a knowledge of sheep raising, the necessary requirements and the avaflable conditions in this part of the country for carrying on such a business. This was in the mind of Prof. McLean of the Massa- chusetts Agricultural colleze in ad- dressing the mid-winter meeting of the board of agriculture when he said: “A large part of Conmecticut is well adapted for sheep raising. Our flelds as a rule are rocky, our winters are long, our solls are light. The climate, the soil and the altitude of New Fng- land are favorable for sheep rais- ing. This can be proved when we note that New England conditions are sim- flar to those in countries where sheep have reached their highest perfec- tion.” All of which is unquestionably true sncerning the opportunities and con- ditions but it is the experience of farmers in sheep raising such as that of Farmer Lathrop at Gardner Lake where the greater part of his flock was killed by dogs which reveals the great handicap to ‘sheep raising in Connecticut. This has been for a long time and Is today ome of the chief reasons for less sheep ralsing in this state. Nothing is more discouraging than to have business destroyed in| such a manner and it is likely to show little improvement until some adequate relief from such loss is provided. That means either less dogs or less sheep. OPIUM SMUGGLING. There is no more important avenue of operation for the federal agents than the activity which is from time to time manifested in the checking of the smuggling of opium into this coun- try. This is necessarily a task which requires patience and constant atten- tion as revealed by the large seizure of the drug at New York this week and the disclosure of one large avenue of entrance and possibly the distribut- ing point for smugglers to this coun- try. Smugglers not only avoid the tariff but they overcome the law which for- ids the bringing of opium into the country except for medicinal purposes. It i= the evasion of this law which calls for the exercise of the greatest viz- ilance by the government authorities. It is the smuggling into the country of this drug which causes an endless amount of misery and suffering and contributes in a marked degree to the stimulation of vice conditions. Little sympathy should be wasted | fregne stmitar requirements are insisted upon in Massachusetts and in Rhode Island a driver or owner of a car must have driven a machine a certain distance accompanied by a competent instruc- tor before a license is granted him. The necessity of such requirements has been determined by the need of replacing inefficiency in meter car driving with operators who have a proper knowledge of their work and the Important mental equipment for observing -the law and the rights of others, NON The ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS, latest instance of the danger which constantly attends the laxlty in the enforcement of the law appears in Cincinnati where the sweeping of the Salvation Army Industrial home by fire caused the loss of a number of lives. It was the second tragedy of like character within a brief period following as it did closely, after the much larger death loss in the Boston lodging house fire. In the latter in- stance orders had been issued for the equipment of the building with addi- tional fire escapes and in Cincinnati the building had been condemned by the authorities, but in both instances no attention was paid to the orders and in neither case had the obeying of the order been forced. Many are the Instances where the enforcement of the law makes no dif- ferenc with life and death, but in both cf these c: it manifestly did. The orders were issued for the pro- tection of life. They were not obeyed apparently because such was the gen- eral procedure in connection with such v of th nthor- \g criticism of The impotenc ands out in glari orders. it the manner of doing municipal busi- ness.

There have to on been various reasons for the depletion of the ranks of the army during times of peace. Certain reg- | ulations may have accounted for some withdrawals on the completion of the term of enlistment, but the fact that there are fewer who are enlisting for the first time, or a enlistments can to a 3 attributed to the prosperous conditions which have existed in all lines of bus- iness. More and bigger opportunities have been offered in these lines of ef- fort without the restr ns of army life, In behalf of awakening a greater in- terest among possible recruits the sug- gestion has been made that the state militia be placed under a stricter gov- ernment gupervision and inspection for the creation of a deeper interest in that body for regular army enlist- ment.

The large number of automobile ac- cidents and fatalities call attention to the necessity of insisting upon greater safety in operation. The necessity of overcoming recklessness is revealed by every accident, while the need of| greater care is apparent in number- less Instances where acoidents are narrowly ‘avoided. Speed, a disre- gard for the rules of the highway and a failure to observe regulations which have been imposed or the absence of wisdom which should be possessed by operators even though it has not been set forth in black and white on every barpost are the leading causes for much of the trouble. The fallure to profit by experience or the acts of others has led to the adoption of advanced measures in some states for determining the com- petence of drivers. In New Jersey this has resulted in the rejection of fully one-fifth of the applicants for drivers’ licenses because they were un- | able on a test to operate the car with “mmdtort.hoh; Somewhat | under | clares he will maintain ficient money for present needs may | indicate that he has joined the all powerful and frugal order of spugs.

T‘ B, Denegre announced this week his appointments of crew coaches, made with the unanimous approval of the graduate advisory committee on row- ing, there was much surprise among those who had not been in close touch with the discussions as to the future that the crew authorities have been having for weeks past. And becauso those who did not know what was in the air were few, the announcement of the names of Richard ' Armstrong, '968., of Hampton, Va., as resident grnduate in charge of rowing, and of Guy Nickalls and C. F. Giannini of the New York Athletic club as his assist- ants, was quite unexpected to the great majority of Yale men, been led to anticipate the choice of quite another head coach. But while the three men chosen to take charge of Yale oarsmen may mnot be as familiar figures in intercollegiate rowing as Wray and Ten Eyck and Courtney, to mgn who follow the work of other than ‘college crews Nickalls and Gianini are known as masters of their art. Coach Armstrong was cap- tain of his victorious university crew in '95, under the Bob Cook regime, and has taken a live interest In the Yale navy since. Yale News states it, officially, is not primarily to coach. The crew authori ties, in throwing over the ‘English stroke that failed so mise: Princeton this fall, had a rather knot- ty problem to solve apparently. On the one hand, there was a considerable body of alumni and undergraduates calling for a return to coaching, pure and simple. other, was the graduate coaching, a Yale coach for Yale crews. The compromise that came out of the survey of the field by the owing committee and captain forms ays the News editorially, “the great- est combination of rowing experts t ever coached any undergraduate crew. And the function of Mr. Armstrong, the graduate, is not only a sport, but to graduates from coaches.” Mr. will act largely diplomat, and W part in the coaching. His pos be graduate manager rather than ac- tive coach, and for this he is ideally fitted, On the ‘interested’ with the therefore, or vent interfering Armstrong, as an organizer, 1l not take -an The two other gentlemen will there- Mr. Nickalls is an Englishman, but is not, for that reason, partial to the English stroke.

The mechanical meth- nic.” Gianini, as well as a coach, is boat rigger and trainer, and both be- lleve in fitting a streke to the material in hand rather than in attempting the impossible. A conference in New Haven Sunday between these crew men was harmonious. One has accept- ed his position and the other two are expected to do 8o shortly. “This system, so arranged,” says the News editorial, “should give immedi- ate results; Yale will not have to wait three years for a fast crew. The grad- uate committee, after long and faithful work, has helped Captain Denegre es- tablish a system that will agzin make Yale crews famous, and that all Yale, both graduate and undergraduate, will hail with exaltation.” The optimistic spirit of the News is encouraging and there are features in the new system that certainly are dis- tinctly hopeful and promising. All along Yale has had the material, and has it this year. Open water in April and May on the harbor and in June on the Thames will be the test of thc new system and coaches. The statue of Nathan Hale being cast in bronze by Bela Lyon Pratt of Boston will be unveiled on the Yale campus next spring, some time before commencement. It is to be set upon a stone pedestal on the east side of Ci which was built in 1 and was perhaps the home of Nathan Hale during part of his college days. That is, of course, a question that Is | still argued. “At the time when Hale le,” writes Chair- Allen of the Nathan Hale nd, “Connecticut hall, the pel, afterward renamed the \LnPl\a(‘un\ and the old and original wooden Yale college were standing, and the president’s house a few doors south | of Chapel street on College.
