College Women and Marriage

By L. CLARK sEELYE. President II Smith College. Northampton, Mass
THOSE who claim that higher education units women for
marriage fail to recognize that threefourths of the alumnae
~ of Smith college have been out of college less than ten years,
and as the maximum number of marriages is in the Oldest
and the minimum in the youngest class the rapid increase in the latter
will make any percentage drawn from the whole body of graduates
appear ABNORMALLY LOW.
What is of more Importance is to take into account the different
social and physical conditions of the educated women. One must
know from what classes they come and whether they were PHYSIC-
ALLY SOUND at their entrance to college. Due credit should be
given to abundant testimony that the majority of women improve
physically as we'll as mentally during their college course.
Womens colleges take as pupils those who have been suffering
from hereditary ailments, from the requirements of fashions and from
a low estimate of the dignity AND CAPACITY of womanhood. In
spite of these drawbacks they have clearly demonstrated womans
physical and intellectual capacity for a collegiate education and the
worth of that education to her in practical life. They are as ready to
wed as other women WHEN THE RIGHT MAN WOOES THEM.
Marriages of convenience are not made as often by college graduates;
accordingly there are fewer divorces among them. Their children are
limited by the same causes which are dominant in the society to whick
they belong. aa
EXCESSIVE MENTALITY MAY INTERFERE WITH FEcuNpirv,
BUT THE FACT is THERE IS VERY LITTLE EXCESSIVE MENTAL
lTy~Ar PRESENT EITHER IN COLLEGE MEN OR WoMENa

" THINK the whole system of the patent laws in this country
is quite wrong. This is the way it operates now: A man sends
in an application for a patent. He has to pay a certain sum
- to have the patent granted him. 1t is a comparatively small
sum-. This, of course, is in addition to whatever he pays his
agent or commissioner for securing the patent. Now, if the govern
ment finds that he is not entitled to a patent HIS FEE is RE-
TURNED TO HIM..
The thing is exactly the reverse from all ideas of equity. The
government has been put to the trouble of looking up the applicants
right to be granted a patent. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD
BE PAID FOR ITS TROUBLE 1t should not refund the money
for conscientious work done. On the other hand, if the man is entitled
to a patent the government should charge him nothing for granting it,
simply because the government should encourage invention Of all
kinds. 1t would even be wise almost to pay a man a PREMIUM for
making a real invention.
Now, look at what happens under the present erroneous, system of
granting patents. The government does not want to refund the
money, and in consequence the country is deluged with q mass of
USELESS patents. The great majority of them are not original or
are not inventions. They are only distorted applications Of the REAL
inventors idea. a{m
AS for instance, you would say that the corrugations, on a wash
board were a very simple matter and that once invented the subject
was ended. The ordinary man would suppose that a patent on a CORFU
gated dashboard is a very simple matter and would be preserved for
all time for the man who first thought of it. On the contrary I be-
.ieve that the patent Office has issued nearly fifty patents on this very
idea. If it could issue fifty it could issue 500 or 5000, because a very
slight change here or there would make something a little different
from the original inventors model.
Now this reckless and wholesale issuance of patents is a detnment
to the genius who gives the world an invention. If his invention is of
any real value there will be a thousand other men who spring up with
slight notifications on it and also get patents.
THE REAL INVENTOR is THUS ROBBED OF THE PROCEEDS
OF HIS GENIUS, AND THE UNITED STATES IS AFFLICTED WITH
CONTINUAL AND cEAsELEss LITIGATION ON THE SUBJECT.

ATTRACTING WILD GEESE.
Electric Lights in Western Towns
Encircled by the Fly
ing Fowl.

A "norther' in Oklahoma a week
Or two ago brought with it a heavy
light of wild geese and ducks. AT
Guthrie and other towns having cleo
tric street lights geese circle all night
in the Illuminated mist, often flying
so low as to be in reach of shotguns.
A number of geese were killed, re-
ports the Kansas City Times.
An old hunter said that on such a
night wild geese in high fight mis-
took these radiant spots in the dark
ness for water. Once in the light the
geese quickly lost their bearings, be-
came confused and seldom e~xtrsaated
themselves until daylight revealed the
cause of their deception. knowledge
of the attraction of fire beacons for
wild geese on stormy nights was used

southern Kansas and the northern
Usage country where lived in early
days" said the hunter.
"As fall approached, a high land
mark would be chosen by the hunter
and on its top re would pile wood for
a big fire. Then he waited for the
storm that brought the geese. Light
ing his fire, its glare could be seen for
miles. Geese wc~a drawn to the spot

Penn Junction. 1t fell at the feet of
one of the Presidential party and in
fiicted no injury.
"One night last week the offense
was repeated at the same place, only
that in this instance it was a bullet.
Fortunately no one was hit. In the
first instance the incident was
thought to have been the prank of
boys who failed to realize the SER
iousness of their act. 1t looks now
as though both acts were committed
with malicious intent, and heroic
measures should be at once taken to
apprehend the offenders.
Throwing missiles at railroad
trains is a breach of the law that
should be most severely punished. 1t
is a violation of law that is repeat
eddy committed right here in Jersey
City. Frequently the Lackawanna's
detectives are called on to hunt down
small boys who stand on the slope
of the hill and throw stones at pas
senger and freight trains as they
enter the tunnel. In n instance a
detective chased several boys up the
mill and flourished a revolver, in the
hope of stopping them. Instead OF
hating they turned around and hurl-
ed vile language at him, because
they knew he daren't shoot.
THE boys for the most part, are
we'll dressed and are the offspring of
respectable parents. They should be
rounded up and if a sound thrashing
fails to break up their stone throw
ing practice, then the law should be
invoked with all it's severity"

Americans Do Not
Know How to Rest

@vHE vice of the American people is not overeating; it's OVER
WORKING. They are too much in a hurry.
EVERY BRIGHT AMERICAN is TRYING TO DO THE
WORK OF A LIFETIME IN A SINGLE YEAR.
In European countries there is repose. The habits of work are
different. A man works a little, then he eats, then he works a little
more, then he eats again. In the evening are a good dinner and
amusements, In a years work there is accomplished about what an
American goes through WITHIN THREE MONTHS.
We eat too fast, from which comes digestive and heart troubles
which carry off thousands Of us before we are ffty-fve.
AS to sleep, why, it is sleep that builds us up. No man should
have himself awakened if he can help it. Sleep is too precious to miss.
We need all we can get. When we have enough we wake up. There
are exceptions, but they are rare.
By all means let us not seek to proong life to its extreme limit, but
use it as best we may, eating beautifully, sustaining it with plenty of
rich food, abundant bodily exercise and mental employment.
Better fifty years of vigor and power than a mediocre, inactive ex-
istence dragged out to EXTREME old age. 1t will take two II three
generations to make Americans long lived people. We, DON'T

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10.
STUDY FOR SHOPPERS.

The advertising columns of the
NEWS make an interesting study
for the buyers at this time of the
year. Owing to the large circulation
Of the NEWS, it being more than
double any other paper in this vicin-
ity, the New York merchants have
taken advantage of it to extend their
business in this direction. That they
are satisfied is evident from the in
creasing space they take.
This is not the point to be studied,
however. The NEWS has a great va
riety of advertisements from local
merchants who also know a good
thing and desire to yeach the great
est number. The study m in
comparing the local advertisements
with those from the New York
ltores. The NEWS carries both,
mething which no other paper
,lished does. If you read them
comparison you will find that
J Amboy is strictly up to date;
err merchants can compete with
12.rk prices on the same style
and that by shopping here
! 40 as good as in New York.
!By publishing both New York and
local advertisements, the NEWS is
furnishing the people of this vicin-
ity one of the greatest object lessons
they have ever had. Those who
would not believe that local stores
were as good as New York stores,
can now see for themselves. Even
should an occasional price be a little
higher here than in New York, it is
only a few cents difference and the
extra carfare, the cost of luncheon
and the crowding and discomfort of
the city more than make up. The
NEWS advertisers help you select
your Christmas gifts. Buy of them.
