MARRIED WOMEN
 ARE ADVISED
 TO 60 TO WORK

South Had1ey, Mass, March 3-As a solution of the problem of the de- creasing birth rate, Dr. Amy Hewes, professor of economies and sociology at Mount HoIyoke College, as the re- result of a study conducted by her class in economics into the number of chil- dren in families of native American stock, suggests that women should marry early and continue their occu- patton after marriage
 Should the married college bred woman of the future contribute her earnings to the support of the family as frequently as the wife of the wage earner of today it is possible that her marriage may take place almost as early as that of the woman in indus try and that she may have as many children,'' Prof. Hewes suggests iD her report, which was made public yesterday.
 Tt is possible that the economic position of the married woman may change in such a way as to affect the size of the family. The standard of living may sometimes be maintained by use of the professional training of the woman for further income after marriage.
 Instances of this are not so un- common today as form mer1y. The con- tinuation of professional life by mar ried women, at least on a part time basis, may be expected to occur more frequently as modern living arrange ments make for the release of time formerly devoted to household cares ' From data obtained by the class from 62O families of Mount Holyoke students it was found that the average number of children in the grand. l mothers generation was 6.19, in the I mothers generation 5.O9, but in the students generation it dropped tc 1 3.15.
 ] 'If a similar decrease should takt l place for another two generations, l the report reads, 'tthe average mum 1 Der of children in a family would b, i less than one.''
 1 The statistics obtained from tn 1 families of the Mount Holyoke girl | are believed to be representative o the situation among the families O 1 native American stock. Less than per cent. of the stud ents at Noun Holyoke are foreign born, while 8 per cent. are native born of native pa i rents That the situation is not af
 fected by the colleges is asserted O | the grounds that only a, few of tn
 mothers of the present students wer
 college women.

Watch your step, Peter Rabbit Watch your step!' shouted Happy Jack Squirrel excitedlys as he leaned down from a branch of a hickory tree and jerked his tail as if he were trying to break it off,
 Peter Rabbit stopped short and sat up with a most surprised look on his face. "Why should I watch my step?'' he demanded, and stared ali about him to see what could have so excited Happy Jack. |'Why should watch my step? What ails you any way, Happy Jack Squirrel?"
 Seeing that Peter had stopped, Happy Jack gave. a little sigh. Thank ! goodness" said he, you didn't do it."
 Didn't do what?'' demanded Peter looking more puzzled than ever.
 Didn't step on that little tree I planted for my great-great-ever- SO great grandchildren,' replied Happy on it I'm afraid that would have geen the end of it. This is a queer world No matter how thrifty a person may be, the carelessness of someone else may make that thrift useless"
 While Happy Jack was talking Pc ter Rabbit had continued to stare about him more puzzled than ever. ''I don't see any tree that I could possi- bly, step on,' said he. "Are you crazy, Happy Jack ?''
 "No, I'm not crazy" retorted Hap- py Jack Look right down in front of you under your nose Do you see that little green plant coming up through the dead leaves?''
 Peter looked down and nodded. "Yes,'' said he, q see it. What of it?"
 That's a young hickory tree" de- clared Happy Jack. 'T planted a hickory-nut there last fall. I I'planted it for my great-great ever-so- great grandchildren some day, if care less people like you don't step on it, that will be a big tree like the one lam sitting in, which was planted by my own great-great-ever-so so great grandfather.
 Peter turned up his wobbIy little nose ScOrnfully- '~DO you mean to tell me, Happy Jack Squirrel, that you are worrying about a tree that you won't live to see grow up, and from which you won't get so much as one lonesome nut?' he demanded. Didn't I just tell you that it is my great-great-ever-so great grand children I am thinking about?'' re- torted Happy Jack sharply. 'fThe trouble with you thI-iftIesS people is that you never look ahead. You think only of the present, and thai is pure selfishness- You dom give 2 thought to those who will come after youL" You think only of yourself

MUSICAL LEGEND TO BE PRESENTED
 AT AUDITORIUM
Oratorio Society to Give Concert at High School,
 March g

On March 23 in the Bridgeport High school auditorium. the Bridge port Oratorio society, assisted by 200 children, a special orchestra and four artists will present Gabriel Pierne's musical legend, t'The Children's Cru sade." Arthur Mees is directing the rehearsals of the members and Clay ton P. Stevens, director of music in the public schools, who selected the children, is taking charge of their re- hearsals.
 The artists are Inez Barbour, con- cert soprano of New York, Irene Williams, soprano of the West End Presbyterian church of New York; Robert Quaint. tenor, who will be re- membered by his splendid work in the last concert given by this society, and R. Norman Jollif, bass, of the New York Marble Collegiate.
 '"The Children's Crusade is divided into four parts, The Forthsetting, The Highway, The Sea, The Savior, and The Storm. There is a pathetic story connected with the legend. It was in the twelfth century that hundreds of children set forth on a crusade tc recover the Holy Land from the Mo hammedans. A terrific storm follows and most of them perish
 In the orchestral introduction, the composer has pictured the approach of the storm and the ever-increaslne commotion of the waters. with real ism, yet with means which do not of, fend the musical sense.
 The work was first heard in Amer ica, December, 1906, when the New York Oratorio society presented i under the director of Dr. Franl Damrosch. 1t is undoubtedly one O. the most poetic and at the same time effective choral works of recent years

Court in Prescott
in the Pioneer Days

The first term of court in Pres
colt was held for the purpose of
organizing, in the early part of
September, 1864. while the first
legislature was in session. The
first regular term was held the
latter part of September, 1865,
with Chief Justice Turner on
the bench, According to the
Fish manuscript, the jury came
into court armed with their guns
and pistols. The judge, after
some hesitation, finally admins
tered the oath to the jury, which,
to him, appeared to be an armed
mob. The following day the
judge was giving some instruc-
tions to the jury, when they all
seized their arms and rushed out.
This action was soon explained.
A herd of animals had been at
tackled by the Indians and a sig
nal had been given which one of
the jurymen had seen. On ar
irving at the spot they found
Tom Simmons fighting manfully,
He had killed three Indians, and
on the approach of the jury and
the others, the enemy ran away.
The jury then returned to the
court room and the next day
the judge brought his firearms
to the court with him. Tom
