MUSINGS OF ELINOR HITE

WHY is Il that so many girls LET
their mental growth stop after
marriage7 I have seen repeatedly
bright, clever, intellectual girls marry
and then contentedly sink down into
mediocrity. l have known college
bred girls who were chosen BY their
husbands for their cleverness as well
as their womanliness slipping down
into intellectual sloth How is it
wonder7 Marriage. If of the right
sort, should be broadening and educa--
tive. II should lead 10 a fuller and
more useful life IN every way. I'm not
gneertng at domesticity.
No one has 8 greater love OF home
life than have. and no one appre-
ciates q really womaniy woman more
than DO, but II seems 10 nae as short
sighted a policy for young wives to
let themselves go mentally as it Is
for them to neglect their personal ap-
pearRnce- The man OF today wants a
companion as well as a wife
Probably the reason why so many
women do stop growing mentally after
marriage is that they imagine they

Eggs are no longer prohibitive in

A NEW ICE CREAM FREEZER.

There is q new ice cream freezer that
has no crank and that entails no
further labor than preparing the Gus

jar and packing the jar in the ice in
the usual way. After the cream is
used there is no dasher to wash, and
there are no cogs or other machinery
to rust or wear out. Any wooden pail
or tub may be used for the ice pack
ing. The glass jar in which the freez-
ing is done is covered like a fruit jar

and the juice of lemon are used with

RAILROAD AFFAIRS
 WILL BE PROBED

New York. March 11.-It was learned in Wall Street today that accountants have been going over the books of the Illinois Central Railroad company here and in Chicago. not because there is any susp- cion of dishonesty, but to learn why the earnings of subsidiary roads under tho presidency of J. T. Harahan have been falling off.
 The accountants will report to a com mittee of the board of directors exactly what the financial condition of the prop erty is.
 MT. Tarahan recently denied that he intended to resign, or that there is any intention to depose him. He was elected in 1896 by the Hartman interests to a minor capacity, and in 1906 he succeeded Stuyvesant Fish. President Peabody ol the Mutual Life Insurance company and a mutual friend of MT. Hartman in his lifetime, is still dominant figure.
 There has been a. report that MT. Pea cdy and his associates wish to bring the road under the management Of Judge Robert s. Lovett and his group Of liar rman executives. The salary or MT Harahan is s40000 year. If MT. iara- han should stay with the road until he is 70 years old, he would be entitled to q pension of $10.o0o year. He IS no" s' years old.

SAYS CHILD WIFE
 WAS ABDUCTED
Forty Year Old Husband Is in
 Jail at Crews
WIFE IS ONLY TWELVE
Officers Think She Was Spirited to Birmingham to Prevent Her From TestIfying Against Husband
 on Abduction Charge

| That 12-year-old Jane Goodman really has a 4O-year-old husband who is locked in jail at Crews, Ala, for abducting his young wife was proven beyond a doubt last night when Chief Bodeker re- ceived an answer to his inquiry as to the truth of the story told here yesterday morning by the girl wife. The child was placed in a good home where she will live until the Crews authorities want her as witness in the trial of her husband for abduction Chief Bodeker did not wish the location of the temporary home which he had provided for the child to be made known.
 The child told the police that she was married to Goodman three or four days ago. q lived at Hamilton with my pa- rents, she said. MT. Goodman came there after me and we went to Crews and were married. When my papa heard of my being married he had my husband ar rested and put in jail al Vernon, Lamar county. Mr. Moseey told me that he was going to bring me to Birmingham and put me in the Mercy Home for girls, and so l came with him."
 The investigation of the case by the police yesterday morning developed some mysterious circumstances, and the local authorities are inclined to believe that the child wife was lured away so that she could give no damaging testimony when her alleged husbands case comes up for trial The girl came to Birmingham Thursday night in the company of Nose lnv and vpO Otbpr ba n the Osceola hotel and Moseley told the clerk that if he did not call for the girl yesterday she should be allowed to go with the other two men of the party.
 When these two men, whose names could not be learned, called for the girl yesterday morning the proprietor of the hotel became suspicious and called the police. The two men told the officers that they had met Moseley and the girl on the train. and that Moseley said he was a deputy sheriff and was bringing the girl to Birmingham to place her in the Mercy Home. Moseley seemed to be an entire stranger here, they said and they con- scented to aid him. The police thought they told a true story and they were not arrested.
 The child was taken to police headquar- ters where her story was told to Chief Bodeker. She seemed to be a bashful, little innocent country girl, and was much distressed that so much disturbance should be made by her. Moseley has made good his escape, it appears. It is thought that he was a friend of Goodman and for that reason was trying to prevent the child from testifying at the trial. .,..e will stay here until she goes to give tes- timony in the trial of her husband.

ID SYSTEMATIzE
 ALL CHARITY WORK
Associated Charities to Open
 Office April 1
MEETING YESTERDAY
John l.. kau1 Is Chairman of the Com mfttee of Business Men Which Has Taken Up the Work
 in Earnest

With an active committee in the ield the Associated Charities began work yes terday on it's final organization, prepar atory to opening up headquarters in tht Massey building, April l. | The committee, composed of John l. Raul, chairman; Samuel Ullman, R. W Massey and Miss R. Brickell Holmes will begin active work at once, and hopes within the next week to raise sufficient funds to conduct the work of the firs year.
 The business men of the city are be- hind the Associated Charities, and q rumber of them met in John L. Kaul'S office at noon yesterday, when the com mittees were appointed. It is a comnu- nifty movement calculated to save thou sands of dollars each year by the pro- 1 tection of charity funds from mismanage- nent and dishonesty and will organize the charity work of the city to do the most good for the greatest number. In discussing the work. Miss Holmes who comes here from Rhode Island tc assist ir the first steps, said:
 Its activities may be briefly described as follows: It conducts the most exten- sive work of private charity in the homes of the poor in cities wherever estab- lished.
 "It provides instant relief where imme- diate suffering exists.
 "lt maintains loan funds.
 Ut secures employment when possible
 "It transports needy persons to friends or employment elsewhere.
 Ut conducts a system of summer out ings for poor women and children.
 Tt maintains and directs vegetable gar dens which are cultivated by industrious poor families.
 Tt introduces a system of small say ings among families which have been re- stored to self support.
 'It provides pensions for widows with small children, and for aged couples un- der certain conditions.
 ''It conducts an information department, through which interested citizens may obtain reports upon the standing and management of charitable organizations which solicit their support.
 'It acts as a clearing house for all charitable agencies, and stands for close working cooperation between all char itable agencies. This multiplies the strength of each agency, secures to it its proper position in rank, protects it from unfair competition, and promotes the eff ficiency of the entire charity movement of city.
 "It aims to plan for each destitute family a readjustment of its affairs, and to provide such intelligent and persistent guidance as will restore it to self sup pert and if that be impossible, arrange for it's permanent care. The extensive close cooperation of the Associated Char ites snd other agencies enables it to fo- GUS the necessary forces upon any case of need. It's work supplements that of all ether charitable Agencies, and tends to bind all together into a coherent whole. It's strength or weakness is an index of the strength or weakness the city char ities bear to each other.'

Baltimore and Ohio Difficulties
 Have Been Settled
ALL ARE NOW SATISFIED
Settlement of All Disputed Points and Railroad and Employees
 Meet Half Way

Baltimore, March 12.-There will be no Baltimore and Ohio railroad, Commits sioner of Labor Neill early this morn- ing bringing to a successful conclusion his efforts as mediator in the wage dispute between the railroad officials and the employees.
 While the exact figures on which a settlement was reached were refused for publication 1t was learned that consider. able concessions were made on both sides and that in a general way the men and the officials met half way This is true of all matters in controversy except the question of doubleheader freight trains for the abolition of which the men asked.
 By mutual agreement this question was laid aside for settlement hereafter in con- junction with other roads.
 Commissioner Charles P Neill declined to make any statement other than set tlement satisfactory to both sides had been reached.
 It was very weary but happy look ing lot of men that came down the stair way of the hotel shortly after midnight They had been working hard over a diff ficult problem without Interruption for about hour hours and a half, but their fatigue was evidently mitigated by the realization that a great strike had been averted and that the work brought to a conclusion by them probably will go a long way toward preventing disastrous strikes on large number of other roads.
 At the conclusion of the conference President Garretson of the Conductors union and President Lee of the Brother hood of Trainmen, jointly issued the fol- lowing statement:
 An agreement between the officers of the Baltimore and Ohio and the conduc- tors and trainmen of that line was Jeached tonight through the efforts of Charles P. Neill commissioner of labor and Martin A. Knapp, chairman of the interstate commerce commission, after eight days of almost continuous confer ences.
 'The settlement includes freight, pas senger and yard service, and while not all that was requested by the men in the original demands was obtained, 1t means substantial increase to all concerned fThousands of men on the Baltimore and Ohio can be thankful that through the spirit of fairness shown on the part oi the company and the committee, aided by the patient efforts and good judgment of Commissioner Neill and Chairman Knapp, serious strike has been avoided not only on this railroad but on others in this territory"
