DUBLIN, March S.-Little informa tion reaches the world concerning the finances of the newborn Irish Free State The reason for this is simple. No one, not even the administration leaders, know much about Irish finances.
 The revenue of the Irish Free State is very uncertain. EXpendi lures, with constant warfare in prog ress, is just as uncertain.
 For many years Irish taxpayers have refused to pay taxes to the British Government Now they arc out of the habit of paying taxes, anf it is difficult for them to accustom themselves to paying taxes even to an Irish government.
 Free State Too Busy for Taxes
 Because it's attention has beer riveted on the work of restoring peace, the Irish Free State Govern, ment has not been able to do mucr toward the enforcement of taxation and such taxes as have been pal" have been paid in a more or les" voluntary manner. The administr9- tion is alive to the need of gettinc

ALARM CLOCK GETS
 HENS BUSY EARLY
Fowls Are Encouraged to Extra En deavor by Electric Switch
 Device

ST. GAINESVILLE, Ohio, March g. An alarm clock, mousetrap and an electric switch make up contrivance by which State Representative D. Allen Bond is trying to increase the egg production of his 20 hens.
 Bond had been rising from his doWny couch at 5 o'clock in the morn. ing and turning the lights on in his hen house. Now he sets the alarm for 4 a. m, when it begins tapping a string attached to the bell clapper sets off the mouse-killer and pulls the switch shut, turning on the lights in the hen house without disturbing the owner.
 Bond believes in a long working day, for he also leaves the lights on at night. He says, however that when the lights are turned off suddenly late at night the hens are unable to find the roots. So he has arranged dinner combination, by which the hens find their way to their rail beds Then in a few minutes off go the dinners, and everything is set for the night-until the clock, trap and switch com bination get in action some eight hours later.

Article One-The financial status of the new Irish Free State Gov ernment is something of an unknown quantity. Not even the administra tion leaders know exactly where the treasury stands" The people expect the Government to guarantee protec tion of private property, and so have filed claims aggregating S15O,0O0,0oC equal to the potential tax calico to stop at once. Having long re fused to pay any taxes to England the Irish people are not now inclined to pay to their own government.

FEMINIST LEADER DENIES THAT
 COLLEGES CAUSE SPNSTERS

NEW YORK, March 8. College training isn't necessarily an overture to spinsterhood," nor do women's col leges Specialize in turning out old maids,", decided the Monday Topic 1 Club of Orange, N. J., recently when the subject was debated.
 Education was vindicated of the charge of being Dan Cupid's mortal enemy.
 But education does make girl more thoughtful and selective," says Miss Doris Stevens, wife of Dudley Field Malone, the internationally known lawyer.
 However, concludes Miss Stevens, it is not education so much as it is economic pressure" that keeps people | from getting married.
 Miss Stevens is an Oberlin grad uate, a leader in the Woman's party and was chairman Of the organization committee of the Congressional Union in 1916, when the Suffrage amendment was pending. Miss Stew ems says statistics show there are more married than single graduates of womens colleges.
 Miss Stevens Opinions
 College training, of course, does make a girl more thoughtful and se- lective," Miss Stevens comedies.
 "The thing, however, that keeps peo- pie unmarried today is not college training, but economic pressure"
 Miss Stevens views are valuable be- cause she has closely studied women's problems After graduation from col lege she began Settlement work with observation of the needs of women individually, then joined the Suffrage that applies to all women. Miss Ste vens first wanted to say word for the college woman who does not marry:
 gro remain single is a heroic thing to do. Anything one does alone is heroic. People meet problems to- gether, two women running house hold or two men in a business, or a man and woman together-they gc in twos. That is the family idea, tile group.
 "But I pay great tribute to those who decide to face life alone; they are not by any means despicaDle. It is exceedingly difficult for two nished products, such as people are who have reached the marrying age people who are made to adjust their two different temperaments.
 "When two men join in business tc make profit, they remove all possible obstacles to success.

it's finances on a stable basis and j working toward this end, but tn task is a difficult one.
 One of the major problems is the payment of claims. Since govern ment has been established, 1t is only fair to expect that government tc protect the property of it's citizens and to pay damages for its failure to protect this property. Needless to say, the government has not been able to give full protection to the private property of it's citizens, and therefore the number of claims filed against the government are constant ly mounting.
 Many Claims for Damage Filled At the present writing it is esti mated that the claims for damage done to life and property amount tc at least s150.000,000. Even the most optimistic of supporters of the Free State Government are forced to ad init that this amount is at least equal to the potential revenue of the government for one year. Hence it appears that if all atrocities cease now and no further damages are in flicted the Free State must pay out in claims an amount equal to it's first years revenue. Under such conditions, it is small wonder that there is an evident lack of knowledge concerning the actual state of Irish finances.
 The demands upon the treasury of the Irish Free State during the next few years will be great An army of nearly 10000 men is being main tained, and it's expenses are heavy. There is great need for public works throughout Ireland. Roads are poor condition and bridges have been destroyed
 There is money enough in Ireland, more than enough, to put the Free State on a sound financial footing. for the Irish farmers have made good profits. The problem is get ting the States dues into the States coffers.

tcrprise supposed to be for the profit of greater happiness, and every ob- stacle is put in our way.
 "The one thing that will do the most for the human relationships be- tween men and women is to change still further the status of women. It should begin in the home-the alter ing of conditions so that there will be no master-that is, no 'headship' that rests in the husband, but rather a joint directorate of the two, such as we have in every other undertaking under our social system. People can make such contract and have it recognized by law"
 The fact that the marriage of col lege graduate usually takes place later who does not go to college is com mented upon by Miss Stevens. She than it does in the case of the girl says:
 "So far as college people are con- cerned, we expect them to be more sensitive to new ideas, but it doesn't follow that they all are, since many of them are turned out in patterns, but I am in favor of colleges never theless.
 "The Anglo-Saxon women, of course, are late in maturing-they remain girls longer than women of any other race. It is a great advantage to have long period of maturity and thought and play-that especially is very i'm portant-and to be girl for a long time is delightful.
 "Women, I believe, should demand for every dollar spent on the educa tion of men an equal dollar for the necessarily that all women should gc to college, but that when the State will spend money on education all women will be better trained' Would Pay Mothers Miss Stevens was asked what some of the difficulties of marriage are to day. She replied
 "One of the obstacles to marriage now is that the wife has no dignity of occupations; her home-making is not recognized as a profession. In stead of being ashamed of her work she should be made able to say with dignity, I am housekeeper and 6 mother.
 "The Government census today classes all women workers in the home as 'ungainfully unemployed,' nc occupation.'
 "Pay the mothers. The State always favors a measure to pay men to kill other men in war, to kill life. So il is not preposterous to ask the State to find way to pay the women who produce life.
