Associations for the prevention Of tu-
berculosis have been formed in Cuba,
Porto Rico and Trinidad. In Cuba there
are over 40, 900 deaths from tuberculosis
every year, and the death rate from this
disease is nearly three times as high as
in the United States. In Porto Rico
there are over 5000 deaths every year
out of | 900, 900 inhabitants. In Trini-
dad, the death rate from tuberculosis in
Port-of-Spain, the only place where
figures are available, was 475 per 1000
in 1909, nearly three times the rate in
New York City. Conditions in the
other islands Of the West Indies, where
no active campaign against tuberculosis
has been undertaken, are even worse.
The chief reason for this high mortality
is found in the nDsanitary, dark, and
poorly ventilated houses Of the natives
Of the islands.

eeates chosen by an adjourned conven- ton will stand and be finally approved when the national committee meets.
 
 Representative A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania is telling good story on Speaker Cannon.
 Few people realize said Mir. Palmer, that the Quakers have a larger reore- sentation in Congress, in proportion to the membership of the sect, than any other religious body. There are only 2o0,- 900 Quakers in the United States, the present apportionment calls for one mem- Der of the House for approximately each 200,000 of population, and yet there are nine Quakers in the House and Senate. They are Representative Cocks of New York; Butler of Barnard of Indiana, Heard of Delaware, Speaker Cannon and myself. Over in the Senate -he Qual<ers are Heyburn of Idaho. Scott of West Vir- ginia and Dixon of Montana.
 Strictly speaking there are only nine of us Speaker Cannon accommodated himself the day he was married. When tho meeting heard of Cannon's marriage they sent a committee to him.
 . '''Joseph said the committee, thee has committed a great wrong by marrying non-friend. If thee will say that thee are sorry thee will be taken back into the meeting
 .' Brothers said Cannon, thee come to me too soon If thee will come to me in about a year I will be able to tell thee whethr am sorry.
 They would not wait year. inter rupted the speaker, who was enjoying the story, "and they lost good Quaker. However, l am not lonely, because, all Though Palmer says Senators Dixon and Scott are Quakers, I don't think either Of them work at it any more than do :"

COLLEGE GIRLS ARE
 GOOD HOUSEWIVES
rom the New York World.

From the New York World.
 The fair maids at Wellesley are in dignant at the statement made in one of the current magazines that the col lege girl can't cook. makes an inn practical and discontented wife, and is in class B with the brought -at-home uncollegiate girl.
 Miss Katherine Parsons, Welleseley's s leading athlete and scholar, speaking for the Wellesley students, says:
 ''The impression seems to be that the college girl Is destined ultimately and by her own volition to become an old maid It is Imaginable. A fact that may help correct that impression may be gleaned from college statistics. which prove that seven -eighths of all college girls marry
 However, perhaps that has little to do with the assertion that the college girl makes a poor and inadequate wife. Here at Wellesley the great ma jority of girls can cook, sew, darn stockings, perform Gf called on to do so) all the little domestic services which mean so much of happiness. Indeed, from the very nature of higher training, the development of the analytical powers. tact and character. it is reasonable to infer that the college girl is the best fitted of any class of women to make an ideal housewife.
 College life and college training tend to make the girl well balanced, controlled and patient. In college the girl learns the lesson of respect for the rights of others
 College teaches the relative value of clothes--that is, it displaces fine clothes in the feminine mind as the most inn portant asset in life.
 Money also gets~a setback. Happi- ness, true happiness, is given it's high place, and the college girl is its high est exponent.
 At home, the college girl, if the home demands 1t, is fitted in spirit and prac- tce to take hold and help at times of stress. She is more than a mere evanescent being fed on sweets and fripperies; far more. This later idea of the college girl is too silly to de- serve consideration,
 If a girl at Wellesley has tear in her gown. she mends it..
 The majority darn their own stock ings many Of the girls make their own clothes We take care of our rooms and there are two hoHses in which stu dents do most of their work. They cook and perform all but the heaviest duties. This sort of training teaches the col lege girl to be economical. It teaches her food values. and in the end makes her twice as able to manage a house. z
 "The wife who has received college education can do her own work with greater skill and in less time for she has learned the value of system.
 Regardless of the career and re- gardless of the social standing, the girl possessing a college degree is twice as able and twice as beneficial to herself and those around her"
