Constructive in moral and physieal fibre, rather than destructive, is the misston of the new Connecticut state farm for women which is just being openmed at East Lyme. Reasonable restraint, and training of the moral and mental perceptions in the right course, is the theory that will worked out on the %00 acres that the state has purchased for the farm. Not making crime appear ugly €0.much as making the normal, law- abiding, productive and eerviceable life appear.beautiful, is the new meth- od. Just show the natural beauty 0; goed, and evil will appear ugly eno of itself by cantrast That is "He theory and it has worked out so well in other states and other institutions that Connecticut’s reformatory will be an institution of that sort rather than one of the old fashioned, confining, strait-jacket places. The farm will receive girls from 16 years to the age of discretion, whidh is 4n elastic term permitting the court to commit women of any age it chooses. The minimum age will prob- ably be raised to 18 years later. This is the indication at present, anyway. The farm is ready for twelve women now, the first cottage being in shape. The other cottages will be got into shape as soon as possible, and more ‘women will be committed as circum- stances demand it. Women from the towns around the cantonments aré the fist, offenders who will be taken to the farm, but delinquents from all over the state may be committed at the court's discretion, ‘'When equipped with enough build- ings, the farm could easily take care of 1,000 women At present it will clear the jails and possibly even the state prison of many of the women who aré thought suited to the experi- ment and likely to be benefiteq by life on the farm. Whether it will cure them ail is not the question The jails certainly will not cure them, and many people think that the jail life is exgeedingly harmful, especially to the yolinger girls who are still in their formative years.

Haymon of Groton, who was driving the motor truck against whose forward wheel the Gregory motorcycle hit and overturned, resulting the death of Mr. Hicks, who was riding in the cycle, which had a sidecar attach- ment. Driver Haymion’s testimony was to the effect that there was.no other vehicle coming from the oppo- site direction as the Gregory motor- cycle was passing the truck from the rear and that he was well to thé right hand side of the road, so that the motoreycle did nét neeq to turn. in sharp ahead of his truck, as appar- ently it did. The' testimony was that the cycle was making as much as 40 miles an hour at the time.
