REPLACE OLD MARINE
 VETERANS IN PARIS
32OO New Taxicabs Take the Place of
 Rambleti Ones Used During the War.

Paris, Feb. 22.-The veterans of the Marne, those ramshackled broken down taxicabs which every American visitor to Paris has had to dodge on the Paris boulevards, have been per- manently retired and replaced by S,200 modern comfortable taxicabs.
 The forbidding appearance Of the old "cruisers' seemed to have an ill., effect on the drivers and hope is ex- pressed by many Parisians that the new machines would also mark the passing Of the disre putable chauffeurs who are cinsidered as ill-mannered as their machines are old.
 The taxicabs were placed Tn serv1ce in 1905. In 1914, they were mobll- ized by General Gallieni, then mili- tary governor of Paris, who crowded his army into them and rushed them to the battle of the Marne, where they aided in the success of the ia- nous fanking movement that saved Paris and defeated the Germans.
 These hardy pioneers of the streets have been flashing about Paris for 17 years.

COLLEGE WIDOW IS
 AN EXPLODED MYTH
Wesleyan Professor Says UniVer- Sity Town Girl Has Good Chance

Middletown Conn. Feb, e1.-The college widow tradition has been stripped of its sembancc of truth by the old statistics which Dean Nicol- son mas taken from the marriage rec ords Of Wesleyan graduates of the last ninety years,
 These show that every tenth man who comes to Wesleyan will marry q local girl, The Dean. therefore, by devious reasoning, asserts that the chances of a girl getting married in a small college town are fully one quarter better than they are If she lived in a town of equal size where there is no college.
 The Dean wished il understood that matrimony is not the only mission of college in the town where 1t is, but old maids within the ten-mle radius of the halls of learning.
 225 Marry Students.
 At Wesleyan tho Dean finds o25 Middletown girls have accepted Wes- lcyan graduates as their husbands. More than 100 more have married men who have studied at the col lege but not graduated Some Of this latter group have found their college careers suddenly cut short by an irate faculty for the very reason that they have married while they were still undergraduates. There is an unwrit- ten law that no man who marries be- fore his course has been completed shall receive n diploma at Wesleyan.
 Dean Nicholson finds that in the several small towns which adjoin Middletown there are about 100 other girls who have found husbands among Wesleyan men. This gives about 10 per cent Of the alumni body who have married local girls and girls who live in strictly neighboring ter ritory
 While Wesleyan was co-educa- tional institution for about thirty five years of its history these statistics were further boosted by the fact that there were many marriages between the men and women graduates.
 Dean Nicholson believes that the conclusion of his study is that a good looking girl, irrespective of how much money her father has, is about 25 per cent more likely to enter the holy bonds of matrimony because there is small college in this town of about 25,00O inhabitants
