Eight Hundred and Seven
ty-one Out of 1000 Write
They Have Found Happi-
ness in Wedlock in Vary
ing Degrees.
BY JANE COMPTON

Copyright, by The San Antonio Light
New York, April 7.-"Just how
happy am / in my msrried life?"
This is the self-searching question
that the Bureau OF Social Hygiene in
this city, founded by the Rockefel-
lers, would like for every married wo-
man TO ask herself.
IL already has been announced that
the bureau has received answers from
a thousand women and was somewhat
amazed that ST. women out of the
thousand proclaimed thmslves happy.
Now the degrees Of happiness have
been classified. And, out of the S71
happy women, It is found that only
40 are absolutely, entirely, extremely
perfectly, ideally, exceedingly. very,
you bet happy. The other 500 are
just plain happy-which perhaps is
the best state of mind after all.
Only Al women admitted they were
unhappy. Twenty-eight said they
were "rather. or fairly /" not wholly
or not particularly happy. Thirty
seven answered, well, yes and no.
The replies of eight women could not
be classified, while twelve refused to
answer.
The Bureau Of Social Hygiene now
is studying the various causes for
unhappiness. The large per cent Of
happy couples has led the psycholo-
gists to proclaim that the general
theory that one could not be happy
though married, is all wrong. DR..
Thomas Vernon Moore, eminent
psychologist Of Washington, COM
menting on the one thousand replies,
said today:
Seldom Hear Of Happy Ones.
IF one pays attention TO the news
paper headlines or the cases that roll
into a clinic or that demand especial
attention in the confessional, one is
likely to get the impression that all
the world is miserable and discon-
tented. But it is the extreme type
of case, that makes the most noise
in the world; the thousands of happy
ones provide no spicy items for the
, daily press"
1T would seem from this investi-
CATION By the Bureau Of Social Hy-
giene that there is no warrant for the
pessimistic view that happiness is
not obtainable." The amazing frank
ness with which q thousand women
have discussed the most intimate
phases of their married life has been
at once the most surprising and yet
most gratifying revelation in the cam
paign of the bureau for a better
scheme Of educating on sex affairs.
If the single women who now have
received questionnaires will be one
half as open-minded and outspoken as
their married sisters, the bureau feels
il viii have gained a mine of val.
nable information to guide the teachers
of seq relationship in the future.
That the young men and women OF
the country shall know more of
themselves and of each other in the
future than they have in the past, Is
ayowedly the purpose of the recent
inquiries which are revealing vital
statistics of normal sex life in this
country. A statement by the bureau
in connection with the inquiry says:
The need for more adequate data
as to both the physical and the mental
facts Of the sex life of the normal in
dividual is now generally recognized

copyrisht. by The San Antonio Light
Washington, d. C., April 7.-Col
onel Theodore Roosevelt, assistant
secretary of the navy, will be the next
Republican candidate for governor Of
the State of New York. This is the
slate of powers that be in the G. o.
=. of the Empire State and it all
fits into the interesting plan that
young Colonel Roosevelt shall con-
tinue to follow in the footsteps of his
illustrious father. Colonel Roosevelt
has had his experience in a great war.
True, it was not such a privately
conducted war as the one in and
around San Juan Hill, but in it the
young T. r. won his spurs in the
famous First Division. Now he has
navy as his father did. The governor
ship of New York comes next.
Already there has been some talk
Of Colonel Roosevelt for the vice presi-
dency, but obviously the governorship
of his state is to be preferred at the
present time. One wonders If after
his fathers experience, the young
Roosevelt would make the same stub
born fight as his forebearer against
accepting second place on the national
ticket? Probably not, but there will
be no chance of his entering the ma
tional arena at least until 1928.
Must Make Strong Play.
In 1924 he is to be the central fig
ure in the state campaign. Some of
the old leaders of the new G. o. p.
are not any too enthusiastic over
young Roosevelt. That was also true
Of their feelings at one time toward
his father, 50 in this case history is
but repeating itself in striking fash
ion.
But the leaders Of the G. o. p.
crushed by the Democratic landslide
which placed AL Smith in Albany for
second term, realize that they must
make a strong bid for votes next year
or once more lose the state TO the
Democrats. They have come TO the
conclusion that young 1T. R." is the
lad to catch the imagination Of the
voters. They believe that he will
make an especial appeal to the women.
Already his pictures taken in ram-
lily group with his children on his
shoulders have attained a political
value and a political significance.
Word has gone forth from the po-
litical wigwams of New York State
TO inlay IN" young Roosevelt and
from present indications he will have
little If any opposition for the nomi.
nation. His political future then will
depend upon his ability to win the
votes necessary to succeed. Unqucs-
tionably. the young T. r. in the ~uh-
ernatorial chair Mt Alhanv would hr
nm interesting figure. Rc has cos. his
hat in the political ring. and his fate
Is in the laps of tho gods.

FOREIGN BONDS (On Curb Market)
Undertone Primer m Cotton During Week

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The cotton mar ket has been comparatively quiet during the week, but the undertone has been firmer owing to the publication of bull ish statistics. reports of continued firm ness in the southern spot markets and covering by recent sellers May contracts which had sold off. to 27. 7Sc toward the end of the previous week. have rallied to 2S SEC, and other old crop months have shown recoveries of just about 1c a pound from the recent low level
 There appears to have been no change or opinions as to prospects to exten- sive new crop preparations. Weather con- ditons over the belt have been considered the southwest have tended to confirm an impression that low temperatures were killing off some of the boil weevil
 There has been less selling on these fea- trade appears to have been brought back to the strong old crop supply situation by the publication of statistical stability. the census bureau and the department of commerce. The latter has revised it's es- innate of the seasons supply and distribu- ion.i now estimating the worlds con- sumption of American cotton at l2,312, ,000 bales, and the probable worlds csrry-over at only 2.17b,0O0. compared with 5l23, 900 lastyear and LOGO two years ago. The same authority estimates worlds consump- 900 bales and the world carry-over of all kinds at 6621 900.
 According to the census bureau domes- tic consumption of lint cotton for the month of January amounted to 610,3 bales, or the heaviest for any January on record. and the third heaviest for any one month in the history of the trade. These figures exceeded expectations and while they were not followed by any really gem erai or aggressive buying in the futures market here, local bulls evidently regard ed them as tending to strengthen the price views of remaining spot holders in the south.

DEMAND FOR OLD MONTHS CAUSES COTTON ADVANCE

NEW YORK. Feb. 16.-The cotton market was higher today on an in- creasing demand for old crop months. which seemed to be inspired by reports of continued firmness in southern spot markets and bullish statistics. May contracts sold up to 2s.s2c or 50 points above yesterdays closing quotation, and 104 points above the low price of last week. They closed at 2S.73c, with the gen eral market closing steady, IS to Al points net higher.
 The market opened steady, to points higher in response to relative ly firm Liverpool cables. Private cables suggested that the advance in Liverpool was due partly to cover ing against small lot of cotton in volved in warehouse fire there, which, of course, would be chiefly of temporary and local importance, Liverpool showed continued firmness after the local opening, however, and hile the advance here met scat tered realizing combined with little southern selling, the undertone was generally steady to firm.
 
 Trade interests seemed to be buy ing March and May, while there were reports of a good spot demand in the southwest, and toward midday there was an increasing demand from shorts A few stop orders were un- covered on the advance, the execution of winch sent the price of March con- tracts up to 2S.50c.

There was considerable selling of that delivery early in the week on a favorable view of weather conditions in the south and some of this cot ton was supposed to be covered to- day on the bullish spot market re- ports.
 The week-en figures were con sidered bullish. indicating spinners takings of 25S.033 bales for the week against 217.991 last year. Exports today, 20.5s6, making S,511.175 so far this season. Port receipts, 12,170 United States port stocks, S10,051.
