Mrs. Katherine Bouton Clay of
Newark, so Mrs. Clay received a
degree of bachelor of arts from
Barnard College yesterday and
took her sheepskin home to show
to her husband and three chill
dren.
Mrs. C1ay's cultural education
was interrupted in 1909, when,
after two and n half years at Vas
sar, she married Clifford Clay, a
writer for trade journals, and until
two years ago she was too much
occupied rearing her family to pre-
pare a thesis.
The new turn to an old simile-
that they're packing sardines as
tightly as subway passengers"
was Il reality for her. She did
most of her studying hanging onto
a strap in the underground rail-
ways.
Not only did Mrs. Clay get her
degree. but she received honors
for her study of modern languages
and had some of the highest
grades of her class. She intends
to study Italian this summer and
after concentrating on her chill
dren for few years resume col
legiate study again in pursuit of

MARRIAGE WAYSIDE FLOWER
 SANS PERFUME, SAYS AUTHOR

but, above all-loneliness. If only we had someone who could give us rest from our nerves and our loneliness!
 When the restlessness and nerves and loneliness become too big for us we discover where we may go. We go to the altar and without the slight est preparation assume the responsi bility of the race.
 eff you want to be a lawyer or a doctor or clergyman you study for at least four years, and you prepare for that study during all your youth | Doctoring and lawyering aren't half sc important as propagating the human | race, and certainly they came into the 1 world millions of years after the first baby was born.
 -Four years training wouldn't do much toward strengthening out the problem of marriage. The training should begin with the intake of our first breath.
 "It is probable that boys-in their ildhood-through shame, separate their sex from their love-the most vital cause of unhappiness in the wo- man they marry. Even the most in- telligent men still divide women into two classes-bad women, whom they enjoy; and good women, whom they marry.
 Girls, because they are potential mothers, seldom separate their love from their sex. It is one emotion, the strongest in the female soul. How tragic that this, her greatest offering, the gift of her complete self, should in the majority of cases go a-begging?
 "Men do not seem to understand what it is she is offering, or perhaps they do not wish to be burdened with so precious thing.
 "On the other hand, it may be that women, because of their false ideals, are looking for something in man that isn't manly quality.
 of such a quality were manly, would a woman, after her lifelong training in suppression, be able to give her complete self away, even with the consent of God and the Church?
 Are men the selfish, small-souled, pompous things they seem to be, or has their original fineness been di- verted by conventions?
 Docs the whining, dissatisfied mar row-minded female really represent natural intention, or is that fearful effigy product of the superstructure called civilization?"

WOLVES HAUNT DREARY
 PLAINS OF TARTAR LAND

KAZAN, April 9. The wolves have come back to the steppes. In the cold Winter nights on the wind swept plains of the Tartar Republic, the namadic tribes report, more wolves have been seen this year than for decades past. They have grown so bold that they howl at the very doors of the dug outs or mud houses that the wandering Tchuvash and Bashskir people inhabit in the Winter in place of their Summer tents.
 In the Tartar Republic, the Tchu- vasch and Bashkir territories, more than 10000 head of cattle have al- ready been destroyed by the wolves this Winter. This destruction among livestock, already depleted by the famine, is so serious that the govern ment has launched a campaign throughout the province to kill the wolves. Huge hunts are being or ganized The population has very few rifles, and little or no ammuni- tion on hand, therefore it is con sidered probable that soldiers of the Red Army will be used in a wolf drive.

ALBANIA OBJECTS TO
 PAYING DEBT TURKEY

TIRANA, Albania, April 2. - Lit mountainous territory and her scant one million people, rebels against pay ing any of the debt of Turkey for the reason that the former Ottoman Elm pire, after collecting it's tribute here, never so much as built a bridge, con- structed a road, or erected school, according to members of the newly constituted Albanian parliament, which has been meeting in laborious sittings since the New Year.
 The sum assigned to Albania for payment was 75O,O00 gold francs, or about $150OOO, but this sum, the depu- ties say, would make very serious drain on the public finances.
 Albania is still the wild and unde- veloped country she has always been without a mile of railroad, almost impossible roads and but one or two schools at most. The government, constituted on the order of a republic, is bending every effort to collect suf- ficient revenue to meet the annual ex- penditures, figures at 1S,000,00O gold francs, or about $3,6O0,000, which rep resents but fraction of what the United States Government spends in a single day.
 Though there is great deal of Turkish influence left in this small and primitive country, the present tendency is to throw off all the Otto man bonds and lean toward Western civilization. Instead of sending their sons to Constantinople for their pro- fessional training, the well-to-do now send them to Paris, London and Rome. Even in dress the tendency is to turn to the West for leadership.
 The toy capital, located here is now putting on the airs of it's mission by the establishment of legations and consulates. Both England and Amer ica maintain legations here, while Italy is represented by a consulate.

OLD MAID TEACHER WORKS TO DECREASE
 INFANT MORTALITY

CLEVELAND, April 2. - With the passing of the little red school house the old mail school teacher is coming into her own. The much caricatured "school marm" of yesterday who sank into oblivion as she watched the "bad boys" she had once soundly switched rise to places of importance has her self evolved into an important factor of official and public life.
 No longer confined to the narrow sphere of the class room and the three "r's," she has enlarged her scope-talen the affairs of the na- tion to heart and become the servant of humanity.
 Miss Grace Abbott, self-dubbed "old- maid school teacher and social work er," chief of the Children's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor, is a striking exponent of this theory.
 An old maid school teacher whose deepest interest and ambition is tc save babies-to protect the lives and health of future generations.
 "Babies-25, 900 of them in this country-will die in 1923 from pre- ventable causes according to the pres ent infant mortality rate," says Miss Abbott. About 23,OOO mothers will die, also.
 "To save them we must have healtl education now-next year will be toe | late.
 When the baby dies it is too late and too cruel to tell the mother: T1 the baby had had proper care an( food The mother must be taugh1 before the babies come. The flappers in our schools must be taught"
 Health education must be included in school programs if Miss Abbott's plan to reduce the rate of infant nor tality among the poor as it has beer among the rich is to succeed.
 For years Miss Abbott has beer identified with movements for protec tive legislation and welfare work. Sht formulated the Sheppard-Towner ma ternity bill, recently passed, and is tht author of "a book" on the immigrant written after several years spent il immigrant work in the State of Hi nOis. The "school teacher" part of hel career was spent at Grand Islan( High School in Nebraska
 And now Miss Grace Abbott, "ol( maid school teacher and social work er," proposes to inaugurate healtl program which will save 25,OO0 babies in 1923.

MAYOR ACTS AS. TRAFFIC COP

READING, Tex, April 2. Mayor John K. Stauffer is a firm believer in the old adage "the proof of the pudding is in the eating" and to prove hs contention that 45 minutes was not too long a trick for traffic officers to work, he donned a uni form and for two hours directed traffic at the coldest and busiest corner in the city. The day he chose was the coldest of the year.
 The mayor recently reduced the periods of traffic officers from one hour to 45 minutes. The men then asked a further reduction in the time.
 After two hours work, the mayor said: "This job, of course, isn't the most pleasant in cold weather, but it isn't half as bad as that of the night patrolman who pounds his beat con tinuously for II hours in all kinds of weather"

IMPROVED MACHINERY
 BEING PLANNED TO
 COMBAT BOIL WEEVIL

CHICAGO, April 2.-Plans to de- feat the boil weevil and help restore prosperity to southern farmers by speeding up of their farming system, were outlined here recently by the National Institute of Progressive Farming
 The institute believes, after an in- vestigation of the evil that yearly causes so much loss to cotton grow CTS, that the best means of combat ting it is in the introduction of farm machinery to replace what it terms the "one-mule- and colored = hand system" Cooperation with agricul- tural colleges and experiment sta tions, county agents, chambers of commerce and agricultural high schools is planned in introducing higher mechanical standards.
 Prof. G. H. Afford, formerly with the U. s. Department of Agriculture and a prominent agriculturalist, has summed up the boil weevil problem by saying that while it can not be eliminated, it is possible to defeat it with intensive cultivation.
 Early fall blowing buries the pest before cool weather drives them off the fields to seek hibernating quar- ters for the Winter" he says. Cotton yields per acre have been down ward for the last sixteen years, last year being the lowest recorded. Larg- CT farms and plantations, manned with fewer and more highly skilled 1aborers and improved machinery, ap- pears to be solution.
 While the average Iowa farm is equipped with $1,449 worth of ma- chinery and the average farm of the north and west carries about $1,00C worth, the cotton belt farm has but $215, and depends largely upon one horse tools and hand labor"

MOVIES

"Just because a girl prefers silk to cotton, you call her wayward" indig- nantly says Anna Hedder to her stern father in a powerful scene in "Why Girls Leave Home," the stirring heart interest photoplay which comes to the Empress Theater tomorrow and in that sentence is revealed but one req. son, and there are many others, why many daughters have left their fam fly roofs and struck out for them, selves.
 This unusual photodrama reveals with the clearness of a searchlight not only the reasons "Why Girls Leave Home" but it also points in direct manner to a solution of the problem which many girls and their parents are called upon to face at some time or another.
 Staged under the direction of Will liam s. Nigh and produced by Harry Rapf with a cast headed by Anna o. Nilsson and most remarkable con- pany of stellar photoplayers; every thing to make the picture a remark able success has been done. The scenes themselves are marvels of real ism, whether they depict the humble "parlor" of the average home or the gorgeous ballroom of the Palais Des Arts, the latter "set" is an accurate reproduction of a famous New York cabaret and it is claimed cost thou sands of dollars to erect.
 Another novel point, "Why Girls Leave Home" is without the conven- tional love story, but the interest is none the less compelling.

LONDON April 2.-No one should rush headlong into marriage declares Jane Burr, American sociologist and author, who recently has been vol unteering free information on the sub ject to the British public.
 The principals should be well pre- pared for this vital step, she advises.
 "A man is more satisfied with the institution of marriage because he asks for less. He separates his love from his work and devotes himself to the latter" says Miss Burr. 'The average amount of his waking time spent with his wife is about one hour out of every twenty-four. Thirty minutes in the morning, while he is dressing and swallowing his breakfast whole and thirty minutes at night, while he is undressing and getting ready for sleep. The rest of his life is spent either in business or society.
 Any man with big outside in terest can be married to almost any woman for an hour day.
 Occasionally such a man would like to spend a whole evening at home. He is always so tired that he has to stimulate on alcohol to keep going. But if he does stay at home his wife takes that occasion to tell him what she thinks of him, or she maintains such whitening silence that his nerves jangle furiously. No. One hour day is all that can be safe ly managed.
 "Is she to blame, or is he to blame?
 "In the last analysis nobody is to blame for anything.
 Suppose, for instance, this genera tion were determined to straighten out the marriage relationship. It would ask itself first:
 "'What is marriage?'
 Marriage at best is wayside flower, without any perfume, but with certain grace and beauty of it's own.
 What!' you shout "A wayside flower! Nonsense! My mother used to say that marriage is an orchid of such rare beauty and perfume that it has taken all the starlight and all the moonshine of the ages to fashion it'
 "Is it any wonder that marriage, nourished on falsehood, turns out to be a rank and ugly weed?
 "Why do we marry?
 We marry because of fundamen- tai urge to reproduce ourselves in our children. This urge in civilized life takes the form of restlessness, nerves,
