children per marriage in these later years.
 NO one denies that college women marry later in life than non-college women and consequently any statis- tics that are made up on the basis of women not more than five years out of college would give an entirely wrong impression. suspect that the same thing would be true of college men,.
 An article for the Smith Alumnae Quarterly and based on The Quin- quennial Catalogue of 1915 is offered as the latest available information regarding the graduates of Smith the average number of children for College and their children. This gave each of the total number of alumnae (5,962, with the class of 1915 omit ted as .56. The average of children for each marriage in the classes num- bered '79 to 'S5 was 2.15. This de- creased with later classes until the average for each marriage from 1879 up to 1915 was only 1.S4. The com piler, Florence Homer Snow, of the class of 1904 suggests that if the figures seem small, arguments for the defence include the facts that the youngest classes are the largest and that many college women marry later so that the figures regarding them are not available until they have been many years out of college.

First Accident on New Road;
 No Fatalities
Continued From Page 1.)

COnIInueQ From Page l-)
 seriously hurt Huested was in frenzied condition and when some of the road workers tried to seize and restrain him fought them like a mad man He was finally overpowered and tied with ropes
 Phone calls brought Officer Kirk of Bethel, a member of the State po- lice, Deputy Sheriff Hubbard, Grand Juror D. s. Sanford and Justice of the Peace Haines promptly to the scene. Kirk, the first arrival, pro tested against the proposed immedi- ate trial of Husted on the ground that the man was crazy drunk and should undergo a sobering process in jail before being araigned. The drunkenness theory was calmly but stoutly combatted by Brooks who said his friend was suffering only from one of the fits of hysteria to which he was subject. The attack evidently began when he started overspeeding the car and was agra yated by the ensuing catastrophe. MT. Brooks said that their drinking during the day had been limited to PeeksknL As a practical test of the soundness of the brain storm theory MT. Sanford suggested that further proceedings be delayed for short time.
 His suggestion was acter upon and his Judgment vindicated by the fact that about ten minutes later Huest ed had calmed down to nearly a normal state: Court proceedings were brief as the accused pleaded guilty and was fined $50 and costs a total of about STA. The justice said he would probably have added a jail sentence to the penalty, but for the extenuat- ing circumstance of the defendant S temporary alteration
 Payment of the fine and costs was effected after consid erabIe delay due to complications. MT. Huested had some cash, but not enough to meet the situation and said he would write a check for the balance. A self search Of his person and of the surroundings however, disclosed the fact that his check book had disappeared. Then he proposed leaving his valuable gold watch as collateral, but that had like wise vanished. What became of them was not learned, the supposition being, however, that both became dislodged during the struggle and were picked up and sequestered by some of the bystanders.
 The problem was eventually solved through the arrivance of the required cash by the defendants friends, MT Brooks and MT. Sanford being among the rescuers- MT. Valerie accepted at it's face value Huested's assurance that he would promptly settle for the damage done the Valerie car and SC the case was closed. A disrupted sec tion of the roadway's surface remain ed as a reminder of the rending forces accOmpanying the collision.

Is Race Suicide
 Increasing Among
 College Graduates

Boston, Aug. 22-Is race suicide in creasing among college graduates? Maurice Kicker of the United states Public Health Service says that It IS, presidents are inclined to doubt the conclusions drawn by the Health Service official and think hs figures give wrong impression. Others say that from lack of statistics Of their own, they are not prepared 10 olscuss the subject. They admit that MT; Ricker's figures are startling ana that they present disquieting view of the future.
 Addressing the recent convention of the National Educational Association quoted as follows: Investigation by the federal public health service over a period of years indicates that the progeny of one thousand graduates cfrom such institutions as Harvard. setale Princeton, Vassar and Smith enGll not exceed fifty in 10 years from the W. He proceeded to compare the N- Aults of a similar canvass among il-
 rate foreigners and said it indi- Ge,d that in a like period the orig eInp1 thousand would be multiplied at is sPst a hundred times.
 hhonFrederick L. Allen. secretary of the Harvard University Corporation pro- duced some figures of his own from the Harvard records. He said:
 MT. Ricker's assertion would seem at first reading to give the impression
  average less than one child apiece. This is not so among Harvard Sradu- stes at any rate. Among the classes '1SS1-90 at Harvard, the last ten classes whose statistics are available 7 and may be considered fairly com plete, the average number of men per class was PAS. of whom 1sS mar ried and had 372 children, an aver age of 2.06 children per married graduate, or 1.55 children per capita for the whole class. The Yale figures for the same period are similar. The declined during the past half century. The decline however, was less sharp in the class between 1870 and 1890, than it had been previously, and a sit uatson which is disquieting at best, seems thus to be showing a gradual tendency to right itself.'
 No figures on the subject are avail able from Wellesley College but Pres ident Ellen S. Pendleton gives it as her impression that as far as the alumnae of Wellesley are concern ed, the number of marriage and the number of children per marriage have increased rather than decreased as the years have gone by Some twenty or more years ago." said Miss Pendelton, ."The Association of Collegiate Alum comparing the health, number of marriages and number of children per marriage of college women with sim = far statistics of their sisters who did not go to college or their cousins nearest their age. These statistics ferences between the two classes, but such difference as there was, was in favor of the college bred women. and as have said while we have no re- cent figures my impression is that fhene =ere -Hcra 11arHaEs and more

Marines Have
 Been Sent to
 Post m Panama
Continued From Page 1.)

Continued From Page 1.)
 The population of Panama has heretofore shown itself to be of an extremely excitab1e nature, and it is believed that this is one of the reasons for the orders sending the marines southward. In the event that the people of Panama get out of control of their government, the marines will be relied upon to maintain order in the disputed territory while Costa Rica is executing the White award.
 Under terms of the international law, marines may be landed in for eign country to protect American right without a declaration of war. It is this law which probably has prompted the sending of marines into Panama for there are now Sufficient army forces in Panama to resist any efforts on the part of any Central American army.
 The region about Coto, where Costa Rica will take over the Jurisdiction of territory, is thickly populated. Any Panamanian resistance would have to be organized in the city of David or Panama City, many miles from Coto.
 Costo Rica has advised the United States that it is ready to exercise it's jurisdiction over the disputed land, and in view of the action of this gov ment it is expected that the White award will be made immediately eff fective, thus ending a controversy of some years standing.
