College
Education
Calculated to be a Safeguard Against
Divorce.

From two Eastern colleges, Vassar
and Swarthmore, come announce
ments by the proud principals that
none of their graduates ever has
figured in a divorce suit. And
from the University of Washington
at Seattle is heard the Pacific Coasts
answering cry that, the divorce
court matter aside, the West has
physically the most perfect college
girl in the world, and hence the
best wife material.
1t certainly is pleasant to know
that our girls colleges are turning
out graduates calculated to make so
many homes happy. But that this
is the case is fact not particularly
difficult to explain. In the first
place, the girl graduate is generally
out of her teens before she leaves
school and so it is less likely to
marry carelessiy than some of her
younger sisters. 1t is the hastily
contracted marriages of persons not
old enough to make a proper discri-
mination that most frequently lead
to the divorce courts.
Still another reason for the girl
graduates comparative immunity
from divorce is the fact that her
college education has given her a
sort of self-suHiciency, by which she
is able to interest herself at home
in case she should find other inter-
ests there lacking.
Unless there is community of
interest between man and wife
married life has tendency to be-
come monotonous. In this fact lies
an explanation of much OF the dis
satisfaction which some men feel
with their wives when the latter
seem too much engrossed with the
trivialities of life, with its small
gossip and its unimportant details.
But the woman who has gone
through college has had opportuni-
ties to broaden her range of vision
and can carry the mental joust with
her husband beyond the small talk
of the tea tables.
The college woman, too, can
draw on interests outside of the
home to keep her from ehnui-and
it is ennui in some form or other
that is fruitful source OF divorces.
There are many activities in which
she can find refuge, such as church
work, the welfare of children, aiding
the spread of education, and other
things, an interest in which follows
easily from college course.
But graduates of girls colleges
have not necessarily any monopoly
of the opportunities for domestic
happiness. Any intelligent young
woman can easily make herself an
agreeable and loved companion for
a good husband and can find in her
own resources the secret of banish-
ing monotony from the household
If it has been her lot not to have
had the educational advantages
which her husband has had, she
can, by application and the right
sort of reading, easily bridge the gar
sufficiently to satisfy and to make

The Latest
In Sports
What the Wrestlers, Boxers and Base
Ball Artists Are Doing.

Hugh Mcintosh writes from Aus
tralia that he has matched Jack
Lester, newly created champion of
the British empire" against Sam
McVey. Lester, who is Tommy
Burns find, was created" cham
pion of Australia at least by beating
Bill Lang, From the ease with
which McVey knocked out poor old
Bill, 1 Judge that the newly Great
ed champion of the British empire
is up against it. He's little more
than a novice. But won't McVey
come back from Australia with q
gorgeous string of titles? Sam Nc
Vey, champion de la Republique
Francois, newly created champion
of the British empire, champion of
Australia and the Antipodes. That
ought to get Jack Johnson's goat.
What is there left in the worlds
title with all that taken out?
Setting new records for the op-
posing boxmen to hurl at is a regu-
lar hobby with Walter Johnson, the
Idaho phenom of the Washington
Nationals. Last season Johnson set
a record by whiting 316 batsmen.
This year Walter was not quite up
to his standard as strike out artist,
but just the same the big Swede
hung up new mark. In a game
against the Maps in the latter part
of the season Johnson pitched but
sixty-nine balls during the entire
nine innings, winning his game, 2
to 1. This beat all to smash a
record set by Christy Mathewson
two weeks before, when Big Six
pitched only ninety-three balls to
retire twenty-seven Red batters.
Bob Bescher, the Porkopolis mer-
curry foot, again won the National
League base-stealing honors by a
wide margin. Bob's thefts totaled
eighty, while Josh Devore, the
Giant fly chaser, was his nearest
rival with sixty-four. Funny thing
about the aforementioned Josh De-
vore. Just because he famed five
times in a row in the recent worlds
series, breezing four times before E.
Gettysburg Plank and once on the
deceivers of John Coombs of Colby
Josh came in for some severe kid
ding" However, figures show that
Josh's double won the first game
and that Josh's single helped to win
the fifth. In view of the fact that
the Giants won only two, there
can't be much kick on Josh.
V. Campbell, the St. Louis boy
with the Pirates, has an enviable
record since debuting in the oig
arena last year, his first season
out, Campbell wound up with a
batting average of 1926, or there
: abouts. This year his swat mark is
.309. More praiseworthy is his
work because he made most of his
swats when essaying the role of q
pinch hitter"

FINE LECTURE
ON MEXICO
Mems Club Enjoy Address
by Peter Mac Queen.

Mexico, a Land of Yesterday
was the subject of an interesting lee
ture by Peter MaeQueen in the main
auditorium of Simpson Methodist
Episcopal church last night before a
large audience. Every seat was oc-
cupied. The lecture, which was the
ments under the auspices of the
Perth Amboy Mems Club, vas much
enjoyed by all. Mr.. MacQueen, who
Is known as a traveller, explorer, war
correspondent and lecturer, gave a
graphic description OF the country Of
Mexico. its people and mines as seen
by himself while there during the
rebellion in March and April of this
year. Mr.. MaeQueen also reviewed
the history of Mexico as 1t was cen
turtles ago, bringing it up to the
present time.
He spoke of the heroic struggles
of Mexico, its buried cities, forgotten
races and temples half as old as
time. He told much of the people
and the strangeness of a land lying
at our very door. His remarks were
not only interesting, but studious as
well. The entire lecture was illus
trated by stereopticon views of pic
lures taken by himself during his
in that country. After Mr..
MacQHeen had finished many ques-
tions we're asked him by the audi
in regard to the lecture.
The AFFAIR was a decided suecess
and again reflects credit on the
Club the class of entertain
ments that they are having during
this season. Charles R. Fletcher,
chairman of the entertainment COM
presided and introduced the
of the evening.
The next entertainment to be
given by the club will be held on
IA. when DIR. Robert
corresponding secretary of
he Board of Missions and Church
of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, will give one of his FAM
,us lectures.

ly improbable, however, that the
place will go to Union county. Mr..
Walker is experienced In the Senate
duties by reason of previous ser
vice under the secretary, and this
may help him to win the place. 1t
was practically decided yesterday
that the assistant seeretaryship
should be given out Edward Mich

Senator Nichols wants the place for
his son and SO, without a doubt, he
will get 1t.

it, they thought it best to hold the
caucus early and get it out of the
way. For several years the Senate
caucus has not been held until well
along In December.
The Republican leadership In the
Senate is still unsettled, though the
lineup today seems to favor Senator
Edge for the place. Several of the
south Jersey Senators, it is beliey-
ed, will be for Edge when the time
comes for voting, although none OF
them have as yet pledged them
selves. 1t Is believed, too, that
Senator Colgate, of Essex, will be
for Edge, owing to the warm per-

AFTER PRINT
BUTTER MEN
Must Have Weight Stamped
on the Wrapper.
fFrom the NEWS corrssposasnty

Trenton, Nov. 22.-Having for
his object the prevention OF the sale
of short weight butter, William l..
Waldron, state superintendent OF
weights and measures, today started
a crusade against the sellers OF
print" butter. Superintendent
Waldron sent notices to all packers
of butter who sell their product in
this state notifying them that on
and after January /, next, every
"print' of butter sold in this state
must contain It's net weight on the
wrapper. Mr.. Waldron announced
that every violation OF the order
viii be followed by immediate pros
ecutfon.
Mr.. Waldron declared today that
short weight in hutter Is ONE Of the
greatest trade evils he has found
since assuming office about two
months ago.. Substantial proof has
been submitted to him, he said, that
butter prints" supposed to weigh a
pound or a half pound have actually
been as much rs two ounces sh ort
ON the pound. Dealers manage this
by selling the butter as prints,
not always quoting the price as sc
much a pound.
Owing to the many complaints o4
this character, Mr.. Waldron, de
elared, he was compelled to leave
other lines of investigation to give
special inquiry to the butter short
age He found the conditions not a
all exaggerated. In very few in
stances did he find butter prints
that were full weight.
Mr.. Waldron says the retailer /
not to blame. He buys the butte
q specified price per print" an
sells 1t the same way, the custome
not always asking for a pound Q
butter. This trading in prints
has permitted the packers to shore
weight the packages of butter.
Not all packers of butter hay
been dishonest, Mr.. Waldron states
and honest dealers will be benefitte
by the new order because in the pas
they have been giving an c
two more butter per print than tn
dishonest dealers.
Any person who buys 8 shor'

one that does not contain it's M
