LOG DRIVE STARTS.
Water in Black River Rises to q
Height to Allow
Run

Black River Falls Wis, May 49,
Especial. THE recent rains have caused
sufficient rise in the river to start the
log drive which was hung up at Meads
island and lumbermen are rushing men
up the river today. There are 100000
feet Of logs between Hemlock and the
mouth, and a big effort will be made to
get a good portion of them to the boOms
on the present water. About 100000
feet reached the booms on the spring
drive, and unless a good run is the result
of the present freshet, log famine will
shortly follow at the La Crosse mills.
Dancy, Wis, Mary 49, Special. j
The Grand Rapids Lumber company will
ship 100000 feet of logs from here to
its mill in Centralia. The stock was put

College Women in After-Life.

Mrs Mary Roberts Smith. associate
professor of sociology in the Leland
Stanford Junior University, has collected
some comparative statistics of college and
non-college women, in relation TO mar
riage, childbirth and health. These rec
ords, covering the cases of SAB married
college women and 313 married non-coi-
lege women, is published in the last bulle-
tin of the American Statistical Associ-
alton of Boston. The non-college women
are the sisters, cousins or friends of the
college women. and so represent much the
same social environment The following
resume of this report is taken from the
New York World:
Il. The college women marry two
years later in life than the non-college
women (at 26.3 vs.. 24.3 years of agel.
80. The age of marriage for both
classes has been growing later during the
last thirty years.
- The college women have a higher
percentage (55) of male children as COM
pared with non-college women (47.T).
Il. The percentage of births of chill
dren per years of marriage is slightly
larger among the college women than
among the non-college women.
-. There is no measurable difference
between the two classes in regard to
health before or after marriage. or in re-
gard to the health or mortality of chill
dren.
''6. Before marriage more than one
half of the college women were engaged
in teaching, and nearly three-fourths were
engaged in some occupation outside OF
their own homes, while less than one
fourth of the non-college women were
teaching. and only slightly more than
one-third engaged in other outside occu-
pations. In other words, college training
promotes economic independence.
-. Three-fourths of the college women
married college men. while only one-haif
of the non-college women married college
men. (Co-education promotes matrimony
among the 'co-eds.0
IS. Sixty-fve per cent of the college
women. as compared with thirty-seven per
cent of the non-college women, married
professional men.
%. From the financial standpoint the
college women married better than the
non-college women.
in other words, the test of figures N
a fair comparison shows that while the
time spent in college postpones the age
of marriage by two years. college edu-
cation neither impairs the health of wo-
man nor units her for marriage or moth
erhood or economic independence. nor di-
.minishes in any way her prospects OF
marrying we'll and suitably"
