Sue Isabel Boggs Finally Establishes
World Record; Claims to Be Beauless

to establish a world record at some
thing. She didn't get to start school
until she was II years old. In %
months she finished eight grades, and
that aroused in her an ambition to
set world record for fast education.
But with this title seemingly in her
grasp. she had to quit school to help
out the family budget. At that time
girls weren't thinking of swimming
the English Channel. but they were
doing q good deal of Bible reading.
So Sue Isabel. after learning the Book
of Matthew by heart when she was
lust 16, set out to memorize the whole
New Testament. for by now 1t had
become her fixed purpose to accom-
plish some undertaking that had
never before been achieved. She was
getting along toward the middle of
the holy work when she found that
there was a man who already knew
it all.
She stopped and concentrated her
efforts on Sunday school teachlnG.
When she was about II she had
taught every class from the beginners
to the mems senior advanced class
and until this day she believes that
was a world record, but 1t was dis
puted.
Then. as a stroke of inspiration, the
idea came to her to be the only beau
less girl. Up to that time she had
been too busy to bother with beauX,
but from then on it became her fixed
purpose in life never to hold hands.
She began to sign all her letters. THE
Beauless Girl of Liberty" and the
news got into the newspapers.
Since then temptation has beset her
in the shape of letters from all parts
of the country. Sue Isabel could now
have a. sweetheart in every town. but
she is going to be just the opposite of
Cleopatra and such famous ladies'.

SCOTLAND RAPIDLY
BECOMING IRISH
Every Seventh Resident
Found to Be Son of Erin.
Scotchmen Migrating.

By Cable to The Star and New York World.
LONDON, August 21. - Irishmen
who have never forgiven Oliver Crom-
we'll for colonizing Ulster with Scots.
and thus changing the racial charac-
ter of the population of northern
Ireland, can console themselves with
the knowledge that Ireland is steadily
"conquering' and, in fact. "coloniZ-
ing" Scotland.
The immense increase in the num-
ber of Irish residents on the west
coast of Scotland had long been rec
ognized, and Glasgow. for instance,
is almost an Irish city today. Re
cent Investigations made by the Lon
don Morning Post disclosed remark
able statistics. for the investigator
finds every seventh inhabitant of
Scotland today is an Irishman. In
the west coast industrial region every
fourth man is Irish, while in the
Lanarkshire section of that area.
which includes the great mining
centers, approximately every third
person is Irish.
From 1881 to 1901 the increase of
the Irish population over the whole
country was about twice as great as
that of the Scots. From. 1901 to 1921
it was six and a half times as great.
Official statistics show in 1890 there
were ,643 Irish in Scotland, and in
35 years this figure has doubled.
While in the same period the Scots
have only increased by one-ninth.
One fifth of the children born in Scot
land in 1925 were of declared Irish
extraction. In Glasgow alone 25 per
cent of the children born in 1914
were Irish. In 1924 this figure had
increased to 2812 per cent.
Causes for Change.
The causes of this wholesale 'coloni-
zation" of Scotland by the Irish are
many and various. The many years
of trouble over the home rule Ques-
ton caused migratiOns from Ireland
of all sorts of people. The creation
of the Irish Free state increased the
flow to Scotland-and in a manner
most disquieting to the Scottish (and
English authorities, for all the ir-
reconcilable elements, which, after
years Of warfare against the British,
seemingly found it impossible to live
peaceful life under the Free State.
Those who could not go to America
promptly went to the west coast of
scotland (many of them in order to
escape Free State jails for plotting
against the Dublin government).
Under the United States immigra-
ton laws, Ireland-as the Free State
was given a special quota, distinct
from Great Britain, and this proved
inadequate. SO that Scotland seemed
the only alternative Next year the
Free State quota to America will be
reduced by 5000. and presumably

this number of possible Immigrants
will move to Scotland.
The west of Scotland is now re-
garded as the "reddest" section of
Great Britain. but it is contended that
the reds" are the Irish and not the
regular Scottish inhahintants. Ger
tainly the majority of the recent Irish
immigrants to Scotia nd have brought
little love for England with them,
and as Scotland is. for all admins
trative purposes, governed from Lon
don. it is perhaps only to be expected
they should show enthusiasm for all
"anti English" movements.
Scotchmen Migrating.
Naturally, there has been a big eS-
odus from Scotland in order to make
room for the Irish Though 1t is con-
tended by some critics that the Scots
were forced to emigrate through the
Irish Invaders" taking their JobS).
From 1921 to 1925 nearly 100000
Young Scotchmen left their native
country, mostly for Canada and other
British Dominions.

that this colonization" Tor recondi-

Although an effort was made 130
years ago to obtain the vote for
French women. they still are without
