LIFE FOR MOST WOMEN IS
p. NOTHING BUT A MAN HUNT

Marriage is not essential to feml-
nine happiness, but if woman IN
tords to marry-or obtain a divorce
she should give to the subject the
same careful study that preparation
fer a career as teacher, stenogra-
pher or nurse would entail.
This is the firm belief of Miss
Louise Connolly, educational expert
Of Newark, N. j., who has recently
given several lectures in New York
under the serial title of "Fireslde
Conferences on Life, Love and lit
erature."
Miss Connolly, although free from
any matrimonial bonds, has be:ome
through prolonged study an author
ity on problems and methods of mat
ing. Although regarding marriage as
hardly necessary, Miss Connolly
bows to the existence of fact by as
serting that "life for most women Is
a manhunt." Some women, she as
serts, hunt instinctively-as volt
stalks it's. prey. When the instinc-
tive woman finds the man she wants,
Miss Connolly says, "she envelops
him, digests him and marries him,
and the male never knows how it
happened" Other women not bless
ed with the Hunting instinct" must
use artifce to achieve matrimony
and to these Miss Conolly gives ad.
vice.
"For the first time in the history
of woman" says Miss Connolly
"she is able to play a part in the
choosing of her mate. Today she is
on the road to economic independ.
ence. She knows that if she does
not marry she will be able to pro-
vide for herself. This is better than

is easy for the person who never
wore tight shoes to tell the person
who has what to day."
For the young miss who wears 6
black court-plaster beauty patch un
der the left eye and just can't quite
make either that eve or it's mate be-
have when prepossessing young men
are in the vicinity. Miss Connolly
has considerable sympathy.
"She doesn't necessarily mean any
harm in flirting, she said; "nor does
it mean she is trying to marry the
young man with whom she Isl trying
to flirt. All she wants is a pleasant
time, and she doesn't mean any
harm by it."
Platonic friendship is a perfectly
natural and possible thing, Miss
Conolly asserts.
Miss Conolly said that some wo.
men know instinctively when they
see the man they want to marry
Such women are rare, however, she
adds. Too much novel-reading has
in part, destroyed woman's natura.
instinct in regard to her mate. Some
women really are incapable of tell
ing which man they really love, &C,
cording to Miss Connolly.
Not only the reading of too many
novels, but the drama has done much
to change the attitude of the woman
of today on love and marriage, Mis-:
Connolly believes.
"When a man proposes to her.
she said, "the girl is thinking all the
time of what would be her answer j.
they were in a play. She doesn'
want to fall down on her part. The
same is also true of the man. Well
that's part of the price we pay fo1
being so civilized, 1 suppose"

piece of advice to give TO the fail

 DEAD IN NEW YORK
Surveyor of First Railroad Entering Birmingham
 Dies at 70

New York, May 24.-(Special)-- James M Edwards. a retired railroad man and banker, died this afternoon at his home, 155 West Fifty eighth street. New York. He was 70 years old. During the greater part of his life he was associated with the late Richard T. Wilson, of whose estate he was one of the executors and trus- tees.
 MT. Edwards was born in Oglethorpe county, Georgia. He was graduated from the University of Georgia in 1869 as a civil engineer. He made the sur vey for the first road into Birming- ham. Between 1880 and 1884 he was engaged in building the Louisville, New Orleans and Texas railroad, now the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley. He was in charge of operations as vice president and general manager until 1894. Later he was connected with the Illinois Central. In 1890 he moved to this city and associated with R. T. Wilson Company, he became interested in street lines and had charge of the construction of the Yonkers street railroad, of which he was president, and the Nashua electric line in Brook lyn. Tn 1902, in conjunction with Tom l.. Johnson. MT. Edwards reorganized and consolidated the street railroads in Detroit. into the present Detroit United railways, of which for a time he was president.
 When the Wilson firm turned it's at tention to the chemical industry, MT. Edwards became head of Matheison Alkal Works of Saltville Va, and of it's subsidiary, the Castner- -Eltro A1kali Company of Niagara Falls, continuing as president of this company until after the death of MT. Wilson. He re- tired from business in 1917.

Another NeU Industrial
 Plant Takes Field Here
Alabama Clay Products Company Secures Big Natural De- posit of Raw Material and Will Be Selling Out
 put in Few Months

On a plot of twenty-five
 acres of A No. 1 shale and clay deposits, a half mile beyond
 the northeastern limits of the
 city, the Alabama Clay Prod ucts Company will next week
 begin construction of a mod
 ern fireproofing plant
 It is expected that products will be
 turned out within four months and that by the end of six months the plant will be in full operation.
 Harry Watkins, for a long time asso- ciated with Charles D. Smith in the man. ufacture of fireproofing at North Bir- mingham, is president of the new com pany and A. S. Holberg of New Orleans is vice president and treasurer. The plant will have connections with the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and will be on the new Lewisburg and Bir- mingham asphalt road.
 Thorough tests have been made of the shale and clap deposits and they have therefore proven their qualities in differ ent plants, notably the Grayes-Shale
 brick works, now the property of the Birmingham Clay Products Company. Besides the clay ard shale deposits there are also three veins of coal on the property.
 The plant is to have the most modern equipment, including railroad tunnel kilns.
 Eventually the new concern proposes also to manufacture a building block.
 This will be of special design and will
 be intended for exterior building pur-
 poses. The managers believe this will prove very noDular in the buildina trades.
 MATERIAL FOR SILOS
 Another important products will be silos. The hollow-ware fireproof clay product is becoming more and more popu- lar in the erection of silos The new con- cern will turn out product specially adapted to that end.
 Birmingham is desined to be the fire proofing center of the southern states,
