ROBIN, HOME RESTORER,
DIES ON THE THIRD RAIL

NEW YORK. Feb. Passengers
waiting at the Church-aye, Flatbush,
station. for a train To Manhattan ON
the Brighton Beach road. were the wit
nesses OF grim tragedy. which may
have resulted in the orphaning OF d
family.
one OF the many robin redbreasts
which weather the storms OF the win
ter in Flatbush, where they house
themselves in palatial nests built for
them by the children OF the wealthy
residents. evidently had leak in his
nest, FOR he hoped about searching
Tor a twig Of proper proportions to
make the necessary repair.
He was big, fat fellow with i
splash OF crimson on his breast. 1t
was raining and the twigs mattel.
Stumps and pieces OF splinters were
covered with mud. Unfortunately for
the robin. he lit on what he supposed
was a piece OF u twig or straw. In
stead IL was twisted piece OF thin
wire. Thinking. perhaps. that ii was
what he was looking for. the redbreast
picked up the wire In his bill and
jumped on the third rail. about three
quarters Of a foot from the ground.
Just how IL happened the robin or
the witnesses of the tragedy will never
know but il Is supposed that while
holding one end OF the wire In his
mouth the other end touched the
death-dealing rail, forming circuit
which quickly put an end 20 his earth
~ sojourn.
Isn't that awful" said one of two
young women who were standing
under the shed
Yes | am going TO write TO the
manager OF the b. r. r to try and in.

third rail. It's terrible. They ought

Detrimental Organizations.

Il will back any movement and use
any influence | have said Mr.. Whit
ley. ito get the state association to as
sist in abolishing these excessively
detrimental organizations. | think
the affair at Council Bluffs is dis
grace and believe the school board
will take definite action dealing
with fraternities Immediately after
the holidays. The only way to get
rid of the evil is to refuse to recog
niZe the society's members as stu
dents OF the schools. No parent will,
allow his boy to affiliate with one of
these petty organizations il he knows
he will be expelled from school II
found out Most young fellows think
it is smart to be recognized as a mem
Der and nine out Of every ten join
without consulting their parents.
Nothing but harm ever comes from
them. The national college fratern-
tiles sometimes hold it against good
'pleb' because he sports high school
frat pin.
1--WE have debarred members of
either sororities or fraternities from
participating in anything connected
with the school affairs. AS result
! the so-called fraternities are dead.
There are a very few members in
! school but the remnants of the four
orders can now be counted on one
hand. Fraternities are all right in
colleges, but they have no business
where kids in knee trousers are
eligible"

Postoffice statistics show that ap-
proximately 45,000,000 people in this
country are provided with city deliv-
cry service. There are, however, mil
lions more residing in towns and cities
having a population of from 5000 to
5000 who have to call at the postof-
fee for their mail. The farmer living
on the rural route receives his man
from the rural carrier, and the resident
OF city having a population of 10000
or postal receipts of $4,000 has his
mail delivered at his door, As this is
really a discrimination, Postmaster

PLEA FOR HIGHER MARRIAGE

During the sessions Of the various
sociological organizations at Atlantic
City y. j., last week. the subject
which attracted most popular atten-
ton was that of higher marriage, as
discussed by Mrs. C. Charlotte Perkins
Gilman Of New York and Prof. Chas.
Zueblin of Boston Among other things
Mrs. Gilman said that if the home is
supposed to arise only from marriage,
il looked as though the situation was
suicidal She insisted that the more
a solutely woman is her own mis-
tress in accepting life with Ler hus.
band the higher is the grade of love
and companionship open to them. :"
She holds that the higher marriage
toward which we are tending re
quires a full-grown woman, no ones
property or servant, self-supporting
AID proudly independent. The wom-
an in poverty breads maternity and
avoids it If she can and her unwel-
come and TOO frequent children are
no. what are needed 10 build up our
people" Similarly in wealth the wom-
IN becomes a greedy irresponsible
child, also dreading maternity while
her children are few and often frail.
Most of our homes. Mrs. Gilman says,
are unfit for the rearing of children.
The home is complicated, inconsist-
ent group OF industries, in which the
child must walt for spare moments of
attention" She asserted that in this
country one family out OF sixteen mad
hired domestic, but the wife is
merely raised to the position of sec
ton boss, This she declares is not
the evolution Of true monogamy, but
the ancient polygamous group shorn
to one female slave
Professor Zueblin declared that the
property instinct handed down from
former ages when men held theil
wives as chattels is the basic cause o.
murders by outraged husbands, rather
than affection or love for their wives
He also said that the constant train
ing Of girls in the belief the marriage
is their only portion tends to hun
for husbands that is most degrading
