IL So. why shnuld shet

LINCOLN, Nov. 27.--To the Editor Of
The Bee. why should woman get
married, anyway? why should she give
herself to a life which is recognized
state of servitude?
why should she forsake an untram-
melled state Of maidenhood. in which she
is under responsibility to none but her
maker and herself?
The woman who earn $40 or Sl2 week
can take very good care OF herself and
take time to rest to attend theaters
clubs, etc. Usually a nice woman has
many escorts and many invitations to
these. which cost her nothing. She can
think what she pleases and speak her
convictions without imperilling her hus-
bands business.
Then why must she say yes TO some
man who says: will YOU be my wife?
l will take life's burdens from your
back" when he really means Il give

FORDHAM QUARTER
 OUT WITH INJURIES
Former New Haven High School Star May Be Out of Game for Re
 mainder of Season.

New York, Oct. 13.-Joe Morcaldi, quarterback of the Fordham football team who was injured in the Union game last Saturday, was again absent from yesterdays practice. Trainer Webber expected to have Marcaldi out in a week, but the injured player is not so optimistic. He tore several fragments in his leg and has opened an old injury. Morcaldi will have the X-ray put on his leg and will then know if he will have to give up foot ball for the season.
 Coach Vaughn shifted Fordham's football practice session from the af- ternoon to the morning and a hard two-hour drill was in order in prepa- ration for the game with the Con- necticut Aggies on saturday. No scrimmage was held, but a defensive workout, besides kicking and signal practice, were included. McNeil, an old Yale center paid Vaughn a visit and gave Treanor few pointers on playing his position. It was the first time this season that any one assisted Vaughn in coaching.
 The signal drill was devoted princi- pally to trying out number of new formations, in which Dunn and Yule figured prominently. Butler played the other halfback position.
