Young Ladies.


 Every Jack has his Jill, and every we'll regulated girl expects sooner or later to get married. Generally sooner. But in this age there are many careers for girls aside from matrimony. The American girl has come to understand that 1t is better to be selfsupporting than supported and, therefore, very gen. orally looks forward to fitting herself for some vocation which will enable her to be independent.
 This fact has long been recognized at Eastman College and for many years the institution has bent It's energies to the work of fitting girls for business employ ments. The result is that several thou sand young ladies have secured through the training anda assistance of the col lege, positions and salaries which would never have been accorded them through sentiment or favor.
 Now the girls who graduate from Eastman College don't object to work. They rather insist on it, and because of this they are rapidly making their mark 
 in the business world. It is not an un- common thing to hear of girl who started year or two ago at $8 or $1O a week who to-day receives S25 week and more. Is not this worth while thinking about? And are not the free scholar ships we offer 8 good investment for a little effort by some of our girl readers We give away four scholarships to the value of $35, $50, 1925 and $15 to be de- cided by points secured by new subscrip- tions and renewals to THE PRESS. We also allow a commission on all new sub- scribers obtained.

 Radcliffe Hicks, president of the Can | field rubber company and prominent Connecticut politician, has returned to New York from California, where he has been for several months. Two years ago he was one of the leading candidates for governor of Connecticut on the democratic ticket. MT. Hicks married Mrs. Isabelle Wormer of Chicago two years ago. They lived together for three months and then separated. A year ago, Mrs. Hicks be- gan suit for divorce, alleging cruelty and desertion. To the surprise of his friends, MT. Hicks allowed the case to go by de- and alimony. The amount she received was $1O,OOO and not $5O,O00 as reported. MT. Hicks is we'll satisfied with the re- suit of the suit, and says while the charges against him were untrue, he pre- ferred separation at any price.-Spr511g- field Republican.
 There are many more hills and noun tains in life to climb than there are level plains to travel. To go over the roads that are strewn with wrecks would be ill- advised. No matter what any one pro- poses to be, he will find fewer hills and mountains if a business education is ac- quired before start is made.
