REDUCE COST OF FOOD
Mayor GaynOr Has a Plan to Reduce
Waste.

New York, Dec. 13.-As a step toward
the solution of the problem of the high
cost of living, Mayor Gaynor's market
commission hopes to find some way
of providing better terminal facilities
for handling perishable produce
1t is estimated that under the present
docking system there is an annual
waste of 5000, 000 900. This is demon
strated by the report of condemnations
made by order of the New York board
of health showing that last year $780,
600 pounds of fruits were destroyed:
100000 pounds of vegetables; 73. 900
pounds of eggs; $4,000 pounds of fish
and $4,000 pounds of miscellaneous
market products. The condemnations
made by the 100 inspectors of the health
department represent but small
fraction of the real waste in the mark
cts of the city.
The waste in handling eggs is esti-
mated at ten per cent or $40, O00. 900 a
year, and the loss in poultry is more
than $25 600. 600.

statement that the higher education of
women gives them a tendency toward
race suicide. To substantiate his views
DR.. Walsh quoted from the chapter on
Feminine Education and Influence in
Education: How Old the New" which
he published in 1911.
Occupation with other things, though
necessary. detracts from the care of
children said DR.. Walsh. and if eXag
gerated leads to the celibate condition
or that approaching it, the imita ton OF
families within narrow bounds. At
certain periods in the worlds history
certain number of these women ac-
cumulate and the tendency to celibacy
or to very limited maternity makes
itself felt, and then this class of peo-
pie usually fails to propagate enough
of the species like themselves to take
their places in the world.
1T is a matter of common comment
al the present moment that if the
wOmen's colleges were to depend on the
progeny of their graduates to fill the
classes in succeeding years the number
of students would not only not increase,
but would constantly tend to decrease.
Of course, the same thing is true of the
descendants of the male graduates of
many of our eastern universities. -

Animal Chased Mary Farris Up
the Stairs.
So She Alleges in Suit for
$4,000 Damages.
HAPPENED IN K. c., KANSAS
Bull Property OF Fowler Pack
ing Company.
Was Being Driven by House
When He Rampaged Inside.

There has always been more or less
discussion as to whether or not bull
can climb a flight of stairs. A SUIT
filed today in the federal court unal-
terabIy proves that he can. The suit is
brought against the Fowler Packing
company by Mary Farris OF Kansas
City, Kan, who is asking damages
amounting to $4,000 from injuries re-
ceived in an attack by the bull. A
second suit, asking $1,000, is brought
by j. NJ. Farris. $4,000 being the amount
at which he values his wife's service
and society, that he has lost.
The story of the suit is an interest
ing one. perhaps the most unique that
has reached the federal court for
months. 1t runs in this wise: Mary
Farris was attracted to her front
porch last July by a furious believing,
stamping, and cracking of whips. Two
employees of the packing company
rode, whooping, down the street, III
charge of a drove of steers, BEING
taken from the stock yards to the
plant AS Mrs. Farris stepped upon
her piazza. Il vicious bull, tail up, head
down, spied her and galloped toward
the porch. Mrs. Farris, petrified, quick
ly stepped inside and boltcd the door.
The steer raced to the back of the
house, entered the kitchen, and madly
pursued the woman through the house
Screaming she started upstairs, and
the steer followed. Mrs. Farris faint
ed on the landing, and was rescued
from mutilation by roomer who
lived upstairs. The men in charge of
the cattle entered the wrecked house
and drove the bull away.
Although the animal did not reach
her, Mrs. Farris alleges that she has
been unwell since July. Both her suit
and her husbands state that the at
tack resulted in absolute prostration
and nervous shock. Mrs. Farris has
scarcely been able to leave her bed
since the accident occurred.
The case was brought to the federal
court from the Wyandotte county
court rs the defendant is a foreign
corporation; it will probably be heard
before Judge Pollock in April.

GIRLS sHUN MATERNITY.
Physicians Say Higher Education
Leads to Race Suicide.

Physicians, university professors, and
many others who have made careful
studies of the history of education in
its relation to women, stated that the
report from Bryn Mawr college that the
tendency among college-bred girls and
woman was toward race suicide was
not surprising, as it is well known that
whenever during the worlds history
women have taken unusually active in
terest in higher education the birth rate
has fallen off significantly.
At Bernard college Miss Virginia Gil
dersleeve, the dean, refused to comment
on the statistics gathered at Bryn
Mawr. Miss Gildersleeve said that
Barnard had no complete set of similar
statistics to which she could refer for
comparison and that statistics could be
misleading.
Prof. Frank H. Giddings, professor of
sociology and the history of civilization
at Columbia university, said that while
he knew the birth rate in the families of
college-bred women was lower than
that in other families, it was not as low
as in what is known as the upper class
of society.
The trouble with the college-bred
woman is the fact that fewer of her
class marry said Prof Giddings.
Most of them start out in life with the
idea of earning their own living, and
many of them never marry. Those that
do generally marry late in life, and, of
course, have fewer children than if they
had married al the age or % or so.
Perhaps it is because they are more
particular in choosing a mate that they
put off maria e,'' he continued but I
think the fact that they have fewer
children is due to some such cause as
this rather than to the fact that their
education leads them to avoid having
children"
DIR. James >. Walsh, dean and profess
sor OF the history of medicine and
nervous diseases at the Fordham Uni
versity College of Medicine and profess
sor of physiological psychology at
Cathedral college, was emphatic in his
