Women Have Less Chance Here.

Boston, Mass. Especially .-Presi-
dent Pritchett, of Technology and
the Carnegie foundation, sayc Boston
is a poor marriage mart. In the
course of his remarks to the Sim
mons College girls at their COM
mencement he said:
I'm Boston the chances of wom-
an marrying are smaller than else
where in this country, with the ex-
ception of the District of Columbia. "
1t seemed to him that there is an
ever increasing number of women
who prefer a good job to an indiffer-
ent husband.
THE argument that college wom-
en- do not marry has some truth in
IT," he said, but then the same
applies to women out of college, who
prepare to earn their own living.
