COLLEGE WOMEN.
Miss WooIley's Belief Is They Have a
 Sense of the Values of Life.

Miss WooIIey's Belief Is They Have
 Sense of the Values of Life.
 "It isn't the number of marriages, 1t is the quality of marriages, that mat ters, both to us and to future genera tions," said Miss Mary r. Woolley. president of Mount Holyoke college. in her talk at a college alumnae luncheon held recently. College women," she said, have n sense of the values of life. Their attitude toward marriage Is not unlike that of the little girl who was being tutored in ethics.
 "'What is the best thing and the hardest thing in the world to do? asked the teacher, expecting the child to say. Tell the truth
 Getting married,' piped the pupil"
 Miss Wcolley said she believed the professional woman's love of home was deeper and stronger often than that of the nonprofessionaI woman. As to whether women ought to go out in the world. ought to be econom- ically independent-that Is question to be decided by the individual. It de- pends on temperament, the individual needs. It is entirely personal. The question of what woman's work Is was never so broad as 1t Is today or so Ill defined"
 Miss Woolley adjured the college wo- men to work for the welfare of "the homeless newsboys, the women bcrd- ed in tenements which 1t Is n travesty to call homes" and especially "to abol- ish 3weatshops if 1t takes every drop of bargain loving blood you have in your veins"
 pr. Ballet. another speaker at this luncheon, said the life of America's higher institutions of learning was se- riously threatened by the readjust- ments that were taking place But we can mere easily spare mems col leGcs than women's colleges" he said. "Mcn's work in the world seems to demand that they specialize; women can afford time to take a broad. liberal training. They do not require to spe- cialize so much. Perhaps nature has specialized them less"

 When a child Is restless from teeth Ing it can often be quieted by giving it warm bath. The water should be as hot as can be endured without burning. Do not allow the child to stay in the bath long. or weakness will follow.
 To reduce the hips stand up straight and by bending forward make the fin ger tips touch the floor. Do not wear tight clothing and do not bend the knees. This Is an old exercise, known as the "setting up" exercise, and Is much used In the army for this pur- pose.
