YOUNG WOMEN DECIDE
THERE'S VALUE IN A
UNIVERSITY DEGREE

Isy MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiREl
London, March 10.--The young
women of this country who desire
to enter well-paid professions have
suddenly come to the decision that
there Is cash value in a university
degree. As a result the women's
colleges at oxford and Cambridge
are being bombarded with applica-
tions for admission. Somerville and
Lady Margaret's at oxford, ana
Newman and Girton at Cam
bridge, cannot begin to accommo-
date all those who wish admission,
it is stated.
This growing popularity of the
woman's college Is said to be due
largely to the number of excellent
positions which have recently been
secured by university women. Des-
pite previous prejudices employers
have discovered that a modern uni
yersity education is a business as
set. one commercial man recently
stated publicly:
"The oxford woman writes a
good clear letter and has more
common sense than a score of or
dinary clerks. And what is more
in these days she is not afraid to
work"
The university women are also
finding employment in all sorts oI
welfare work, and as inspectors in
establishments where women arc
employed Offers of work as in
spectors are being received from
America, 1t is stated, and good sal
aries are offered.

FEDERAL SUFFRAGE
AMENDMENT WINS IN
WEST VA. ASSEMBLY

Charleston, W. Va, March
10.-The West Virginia legis-
lature ratified the federal sqf-
frage amendment late this aft
ernoon. Final action on the
amendment was taken by the
senate in adopting the ratifica-
ton resolution of the house of
delegates by a vote of 10 to a.,
The vote of Senator Jesse A.
Bloch of Wheeling. who made
a hurried trip from California
to Charleston to vote on the
amendment. was effectual in
breaking the deadlock between
pro and anti-suffrage forces
Senator A. r. Montgomery was
not permitted to vote, his seat
having been declared vacant.
The final vote on the Anthony
amendment was taken at 6;l5
O'Clock in the senate after one
of the most dramatic sessions
ever witnessed in either house
of the legislature. For several
hours suffrage leaders and their
opponents fought in an effort
to gain a definite advantage.
Each step by either party was
hotly contested - anti-suffrage
forces determined to offset their
opponents victory in keeping
the legislature in session and
the suffragists confident of
gaining a majority to ratify, by
the vote of Senator Bloch, who
had rushed across the continent
for the occasion.
Crowded galleries were kept
in order with difficulty as each
