CHARITY SOCIETY
SAYS POOR GOT ALL
No Money Given for Relief Di.
verted for Salaries, States
Latest Bulletin.

Replying to the charge of critics that
the Charity Organization Society has
spent. more money for its sdministra
ton than for charity, that society
bulletin, issued yesterday, declares
that not one cent specifically given for
relief has been diverted for salaries o.
administration expenses.
In its service to the poor" the state
ment reads. the society expended last
year a total of more than Sl60,O0O.
In indirect service TO the poor
through promoting cooperation be
tween agencies engaged in relieving
distress. and through facilitating the
charitable work Of individuals, II spent
$31 5000.
THE s45,693.14 used in administra-
ton was equalled by the income from
endowment, with the exception Of
$500. and no contributions have been
applied 10 the socety's endowment
only legacies being used for that pur-
pose. The School OF Philanthropy IS
supported by tuition fees and the in.
come from a special endowment, and
no contributions 10 the society were
used for that purpose"
The bulletin emphasizes the fact that
the society is primarily not a relief Sc
ciety. its supplying of material rellcf
being incidental TO its work of restor-
ing families 10 their normal status
in life by obtaining treatment for the
sick. jobs for the unemployed and by

is tinted in like color. These panels
are hand printed, and are, without

Proving Among
MoreW and Ar Sisters

"Do you know that there are fewer
divorces among the college graduates
than among other women" asked Mrs.
Thomas +. Burgess. About two years
ego Mrs. Valentine wrote an article
for The Ladies' Home Journal IN
which she showed from statistics that
this is fact
Fewer Divorces Among Them.
81 know why that is" said Mrs.
Brewer: sit is because they marry
later. They are more careful in their
choice. They do not marry as blindly
as docs The young girl. And they
marry more often for love. You see,
they are economically independent. so
that they do not have to marry for a
home. And they are older. because
after they graduate they are apt TO
work for year or so, and IN that way
they are placed in a position where
they can learn more Of life and its
meaning"
"Thev learn, too, that life is com
promise. that marriage is matter OF
give and take. Ii is a partnership.
This they know before they are mar
ried. so that they choose the right part
ner." Mrs. Willis c. Stephens leaned
forward eagerly, eXpounding her phi
osophy of married life.
And" DR.. Won Shelley took up the
thread of testimony, they are clever
and careful. They are disillusioned
before instead of after marriage. They
see the mans failings and weaknesses
before the marriage, and love him IN
spite of them, not necessarily because
of them or in ignorance of them. This
you see makes for greater degree Of
happiness for them
But" said one of the women, you
should speak to Mrs. George McAneny
She is Barnard graduate, she has
five children and she has various out
side activities. She ought 10 be able
TO tell YOU some interesting things
And Mrs McAneny did. She said
that college women make more eff
Gent wives. for they are trained work
ers. "They can finish the work of
caring for their home and their babies
early in the day, and then have time
for something else. They have bet
ter perspective. and they realize that
when they have done everything in
one corner that is to be done It IS
time to 80 TO the next corner. They
90 not remain fussing in that one cor
ner. Household activities need not
take up woman's entire time, and
the college woman has learned how
many things it is possible to do at
one time. DO not do much myself.
but that is merely because ! am in
dolent and ] do not like to be busy
all the time"
Then she told ne that the college
woman does not because Of that fact
make the better mother. Mothering is
a matter of instinct, and natural suit
ability. 81 know that there is a deal
of talk to the contrary, that it is
thought now that it is all matter of
training and very little of instinct,
but-some of our grandmothers we're
very good mothers"

Summer Spinach

From Australia comes a plant that
is called New Zealand or summer
spinach. This is a trailing annual sew
ersl feet long. with spinachiike leaves,
which are almost identical in flavor
with the true spinach il was FIST in

being brought back from Australia by
Cook on his famous voyage.
1t proved 10 be invaluable in sum-
mer. when the true spinach refuses to
come forth, as it is almost drouth re-
sistant. 1t can stand an enormous
amount Of heat. and is Of the simplest
culture. When planting the seed, 1t
should first be soaked in hot water for
abb 1t twelve hours.

Again this extremely unfattering
estimate of wonan's ability to satisfy
her husband and herself at the same
time. And now it is uttered by Robert
J. Spraguc, professor of economics and
sociology of the Massachusetts Agri-
cultural College.
Therefore. desiring TO definitely
decide a controversy begun when a
woman's college was first preached,
burst in upon a meeting OF college
graduates. and asked questions con-
corning education in its relation to
wifehcod. motherhood, suffrage and
various other interests. And ] learned
very satisfactorily and conclusively
that college women make the most
intelligent, loving and lovable wives,
both for the college man and those
outside the pale; college women are
the best housekeepers, they are the
most efficient mothers. they marry IN
no less proportion and far more wise
IL than their sisters, and they are less
frequently divorced
The meeting where ! gathered these
data was at the home of Mrs. Charles
Tiffany. The chairman of the lntercolIe-
giate Woman's Suffrage Association,
Brvr Nawr. Barnard. Smith and vari-
Gus of the other colleges were repre-
sented. and all upheld their cause in
a convincing manner. Seven OF the
eight women present were married, and
seven was the aggregate number OF

learned to be exact and scientific.

into things thoughtfulIy, and not
specifically, and they think logically.

value in it," pr. Won Shelley is un-

far more good to babies than most
married women do, so she must not be

But" she AIDED, there is still

mother. Most people think that to be
mother means TO take care of a
child. We have to take care of grown

We must have more than the rudi-

Statistics you know, can prove any
thing you want them to-" said Mrs.
Tiffany, in answer to Mr.. Sprague's
accusation that in four of the col
leges more than 80 per cent of the
graduates were unmarried. "You see,
N taking statistics of thing of that
sort, he should have omitted the last
five, preferably the last ten years, for
many of the women that he lists as
unmarried become married later on
why" exclaimed Mrs. Walter L..
Hervey. "in working over the statistics
for mems colleges they found that
fewer college men were married than
single men of the same age. But no
one would think of Offering that as an
argument against the education of men.
They simply marry later, because they
earn their money later
Mrs. Edgerton Parsons bethOught
herself OF the last meeting of her
class, Smith, 81, in which it was ascer-
tanned that 50 per cent of the women
were married. This was a triumphant
climax to the subject, until Mrs. Her

Barnard College, further proving the
point. So every one laughingly agreed
that that question was disposed Of,

AUSTRIA Hungary would affect the
amicable relations between Germany
and the United States is "a matter
which would depend upon the attitude
which Germany assumed toward its
ally in this crisis. If Germany really
desired a break with the United
States it might easily accept this Sit
uatioh as an available pretext for
bringing about an estrangement. We
cannot bring ourselves to believe that
Germany desires to bring about a
severance of amicable relations with
the United States for if she did, she
has had ample opportunity in the
several crisis provoked by the acts OF
German submarines. True, since that
time this country has asked the re.
call of two German embassy attaches
and these have been recalled by the
emperor and will be provided with
passports by this government.
Even in the event of open rupture
amounting to war with Austria, it
may be assumed that hostilities would
be merely nominally existent, since
Austria has no navy which could at
tack the United States navy. its sub
marines might attempt to harass oui
commerce in the Mediterranean, but
further than that little damage could
be inflicted upon this country. 1t
might be necessary for this country to
dispatch feet to the Mediterranean,
but there is no Austrian shipping 70
attack. unless our naval forces were
directed to hunt down Austrian un-
dersea craft.
We have safely passed quite as Sc,
rious crises with Germany, and We
have no reason to anticipate that Aus
tria- Hungary will seek to make this
lawless and unauthorized incident
pretext for seeking to add another
foe to its already formidable list. Nor
can we conceive of any sound reason
why the Vienna government should
seek to defend it's submarine COM
mander's blunder, further than to cX-
cuse it as having been committed UNI
der a misapprehension as to the ma
.tionality of the Ancona. SUCH All cN-

THE COW AND
THE GRINDSTONE

There is a story of woman who
was unduly prompt in fastening the
blame for everything on her husband
Finally, he determined in the bitter
ness of his soul to play trick on her,
and he hurried into the house with
great. anxiety depicted on his count
aance and exclaimed: "Wife. what GO
you think? The COW has eaten up the
grindstone." She hardly waited 1or
him to utter the last word, and never
paused an instant to take III his mean
ing, and retortcd: 81 told you so, You
always would leave it outdoors"
The Philadelphia Inquirer brings 70
mind that prccipitate woman. There
is Il deficiency in the revenue, and
without pausing TO reflect, or even co
read the details. the Inquirer screams:
"Of course there is! You Democrats
always were opposed to duties on IN
ports!!"
The Philadelphia Record in repro
ducing the story of the COW and the
grindstone says that the Republi-
cans depended for national revenue
entirely on the internal revenue duties
chiefly beer. whiskey and tobacco, and
the customs collections. The former
have been very heavily hit by the
spread Ct prohibition and by the de-
preston of business last year, which
drove great many men back from
cigars to the pipe. The latter have
been reduced very heavily by the de-
crease in importations resulting from
the war. In the first nine months OF
this year the value OF imports was
s10S, 100000 less than last year. The
Democrats did reduce the rates OF
duty. to which extent they reduced
the cost of living But the decrease
OF revenue is due, about one third to
the reduction of duties and two-thlrds
to the wars interruption of our I'M
port business.
Thus, tho heavy losses OF revenue
have been in the two varieties. OF re-
venue upon which the Republicans
relied almost entirely. The Demo
Gratis, however. relied less on these
and more on the income tax. The per.
sonal income tax yielded SAL 100000
an increase of about S13.000,000. orei
the previous year Obviously the Irea,
Sury fared much better than it could
have Jared under Republican finance,
because the distinctively Democratic
tax yielded more than the year be-
fore, while the ordinary Internal re-
venue taxes and the customs taxes
yielded great deal less.
1t was lucky thing that when the
European war broke a Democratic
Administration was in power. The
national revenues suffered much less
Than they would have suffered under
"a Republican s Administration. z OF
course; the supplementary hrevenhe
law has to be extended. 1t was enact
ed early in the war to make good the
