SCIENCE OF MATCHMAKING.

|
The heading does not refer to the
manufacture of "Birds Eye" or the
older 'Star' matches but to match
making between individuals. A class
in sociology in the Ohio State univer-
sity, composed of young men and wo-
men, has been investigating the essen
tials of happy marriage and has made
a tabulation of the opinions of its 81
members on what counts much and what
counts little in matrimonial relations.
tSupposedly there wasanot a single mar
ried person in the class, therefore their
| opinions are purely theoretical and sci
entife. Here are some of the findings:
Fundamental virtues are much pre-
ferred to glittering social accomplish
ments; wealth and fame are nonessen-
tials but there should be reasonable
prosperity, male members almost unan-
imously said a wife should possess abil-
ity to support herself, the females be
lieved a business man the best of ALL
physical attractiveness has little value
and equality of sex standards is ap-
proved.
High values were put on interesting
personality, strength of will, interest
in partners work, domesticity, refine
ment of manner, taste in dress, dignity,
optimism, humor, harmony of tastes,
and executive ability. Both sexes
classed as absolutely essential affection,
intelligence, desire for and love of
children. Curiously enough, comrade-
ship was held to be essential in the
ideal husband, but only moderately
desirable in the wife. Under the head
of physical qualifications the essentials
chosen were being of the same race,
sound family stock, good health and
fair degree Of physical attractiveness.
Nearness of age was declared to be de-
sirable but not essential Nearness of
height and weight was passed over
lightly.
Strangely the male members of the
class placed a much higher valuation
on a woman's ability as a housekeeper
than did the female members, but both
agreed that musical tastes were better
than liking of literature or art. And
finally, the accounts of the question
naire of the class relate: "Instead of
desiring wealth or fame in a husband
the woman students said that a good
provider was all that was necessary for
them. Sincerity, honesty, fairminded- |
ness, truthfulness and wholesomeness in
thought and action were absolutely es-
sential moral traits for both sexes and |
high values were placed upon religious
ideals, industry, good temper, manly
and womanly strength, self control,
sympathy, economy, cheerfulness, frank
ness and loyalty"
All of this is interesting as showing
the minds of these single men and wo-
men and doubtless will cause many to
recall their ideas of matrimony before
they made the fatal leap. But the older
people will wonder how much these sci
entifc theories win influence the choice
IF these students and whether or not
III this study aud classification will re-
'ult in single match between the stu
tents. Perhaps, after all, they have not
advanced much beyond the novelists in

Handling Home Brew.

The Bennington Banner must have had
experience as it declares that home brew
ought to be opened in bomb proof dug

Our limited experience in that line
leads us to believe that the opening
should be done in a water-tight COM

bottle in an old quilt to lessen danger

May Day in Scotland.

In Scotland May day was long
known as Beltane. "Beltane" is a
corruption of Baal Time, and the an
cient May day ceremonies which We're
observed in Scotland until not so
many years ago were surviyals of
the old Baal or fire worship, which in
former days held sway over the
greater part of the Eastern hemi-
sphere. The ancient ceremonies in.
volved the burning of bonfires, the
drawing of lots for stcrihce, and even
a mock simulacrum of the sacrifice
itself.
