Certainly our study revealed that America
does not seem to be reproducing herself
through her outstanding women since these
SO women can produce among them only az
children. And this directly led our students to
tackle q very important question:
How shall we manage so that the next gen.
GRAFTON Of distinguished Americans feminine-
will reproduce themselves better than this els
tinguished 50?
- A FTER study and questionings and as much
Research as can be brought to bear upon
such a living topic, our students decided that
this might be done in two ways:
"First-by teaching in our schools the sub
jects of family relations, the duties Of the two
sexes, their relatively important functions in
passing ON the torch of life.
'Now we found also that strangely enough,
there is no objection to this in most schools.
Instead we hear-'we would like to teach FAM
lily relations to our high school boys and girls.
but we have no teachers properly trained to
teach this subjecti'
Here is tip to teachers-there is bigger
opening in the teaching profession to men and
women who viii qualify as family experts, 70
teach family questions, than there Is IN any OF
the old subjects, Latin, mathematics and his
tory.
second, our students decided that We must
find better places for young people to meet ~
manageable ages, and more Of such places. In
addition our students also decided there ~AA-
need for school course in manners, in how to
please the opposite sex.
SCHOOLS till very recently have stressed
scholastic proficiency out Of all proportion 10 ltS
Importance in life. IF we can put into school
a course which will teach Mabel how to act
and how to smile to interest young John, and
If we can teach John in the same course that
the ultimate satisfaction in life comes not from

ship with one woman suited to him-tnen we
will have gone far to raise stin higher the per-
centage of happy American marriages.

suggestions made by our students. and we
should raise that percentage to worthy 60"

.''7reasare Trees of South

THE name naval stores" as applied to the
products of the sap Of the long leaf and
slash pines of the South dates back to the
early Colonial days At that time, gum nom
the trees was used to calk ships and the term,
now covering products more used in other
phases of life than shipping, came into use.
The investment in the naval stores business
Is in excess OF $50,000,000. For time it APP
peared that producers Of resin, turpentine and
related products were going to kill the goose
that laid the golden egg, but extensive research
and educational work carried by the Forest
Service has brought about not only the pro-
lection of the trees which are tapped but also
increased the yield.
Formerly 1t was the practice to cut deep
gashes into the trees in order to collect the
gum. Now, however, light cuts are made and
cups and tin cutters are used to collect the
liquid BY this means the yield is not only
up but the thousands of trees which formeSly
died because Of the injury are now deveiorezs
into maturity and serve a valuable purpose as
timber. In fact, 30 profitable are the trees
through their production Of naval stores and
timber they are now referred TO as "treasure

silent business man. But our QUESTIONABLE
showed that the ONCE secretary has not even
so good a chance at marriage-M she depends
upon meeting men In her workingday-as the
woman doctor, whose chances for meeting
suitable husband are unusually good.
uCURTHERMoRE, the trained nurse has
been considered sure TO get her man. But
our figures showed she was considerably below
other professions We would have considered less
likely, as those Of the law and work in library.
Illuminating as these figures were, our ques-
tionnaire took in other and quite as vital con-
siderations. We discovered early in our research
that the average man is poor husband mate
RIAL In fact, it was our opinion that the aver
age man makes a poorer husband than the
average woman makes a wife.
"As for causes Of mans shortcomings In this
respect, we tabulated the following:
Lack Of proper education IN marriage.
TOO much coddling mother love.
TOO many woman teachers.
Failure to keep up with the times.
Failure to save for marriage.
Now all these facts our students brought in,
as they pushed work on the marriage question
naire. And then we decided that We would
scan that group of so eminent women selected
by Ida Tarben as the outstanding American
women. And what an alarming state of affairs
did these eminent feminine Americans present!
"Of the so, only Is had married. And Of the
Is, only 5 had became mothers. OF these 5,
one woman, DR.. Lillian Gilbreth, had become
mother of IL of the % children borne by the

ANALYZING
Happy Marriages
Startling Facts Re0ealed by columbia
Univerutys Study Of l. 900 RomanceS:

what is happiness? Happiness, for one couple
may mean radio and plenty Of dresses
for the wife. For another couple it may mean
a fine home in the city. For third it may
mean delightful ranch in Kansas. Or, again,
it may mean social position travel, riches
power, or merely the quiet enjoyment of similar
tastes
I'm other words, the only real judges of mar
ried happiness are the couples themselves. Ac-
cordingly, we felt when we began our research
in 1927 that the way to decide was to look at
a couple. If they seemed happy; If they said
they were happy, when they were in frank
and revealing mood, it was reasonable enough
to consider them happy.
But the next question confronted us-where
were we to get our couples? We decided that
each student should take 10 or more couples
for study from some section of society well
known by him-an the families on one street,
or perhaps 10 of the families that made up
the faculty of his own college.
But when we had got our main figures, we
turned our attention to pertinent facts dis
closed as we studied our 1,018 marriages. For
instance, we may agree that many women long
for their own way in marriage. But our ques-
tionnaire quickly showed US that the marriages
where the wife is boss are not always so happy,
and that the families where the husband exerts
q kindly rule-as is his biological function
are the families where the greater happiness
prevails.
And studying further we seemed to find
that where the 'boSsy' wives were not happy
it was because they rather despised the weak
willed jelIyfish husband who would cede all his
male powers to his wife. That Is household
mastery did not make most women happy.
"RUT another subject came up for earnest
- study: What places are most conducive
TO helping . girl meet q suitable mate? We
studied all sorts of places, and we found, in
terestingly enough, that educational institu-
tions-high school, dramatic school, college and
professional schools-are the most favorable
places Of all. Here are our figures:
"Out Of ], 507 people questioned, 5o1-33 per
cent-met their mates in schools or colleges
The remainder were grouped as follows: 237
met their mates in private homes, 1872 in bust
ness places $50 at private recreational places
l31 at church, 1872 met through casual propin-
guilty log in travel and education, 80 IN COM
Inercial recreation, IL in miscellaneous ways and
Just through 'pick-ups'
But after we had done this, we asked-what
are the occupations q girl should follow TO
md her true love?
Now, Of old, we have been led to believe
that school teachers were almost bound to be
old maids Our studies did not show precisely
that but school teaching seemed to be very
unfavorable as . profession for the girl who
wishes to marry and live happily everafter.
Again, it has been said that the Office secre-
tary was pretty sure to attract the big strong,

To Gull material for the QUESTIONABLE Prof.
Popenoe's 90 students studied ntensively
total Of 1,018 marriages. To each OF these the
first and most important question was applied:
'Is this a happy marriage?" And when the
figures were tabulated, these were the results:
Happy marriages, 70 per cent.
Doubtful marriages 16 per cent.
Unhappy marriages, II per cent.
That is almost three-fourths Of American
marriages are happy, judging from the results
of this 1891 QUESTIONABLE DR.. Popenoe sums
up:
1.-THE gloomy doctors who explain that four
marriages out of ten are bound to end In di-
yorce; that QUESTIONABLE which maintained
that only as marriages out Of 100 marriages
contracted between educated people were happy
these our studies show to be very wrong.

the business state of mind has i'm
proved a good deal in the last month.
The federation's monthly review Of
conditions met reinforcement for its
conclusions In q $4,000 900 favorable

Some unfavorable factors were
cited, among them that business

it followed this by noting optimistic
developments.
"The upturn In prices is impor-
tant," the survey said, for q con-
tinued general price rise Is the signal
for expanding activity"
The all-commodity price line was
described as climbing by Nov. 13 to

In many quarters fear was aroused
that Soviet Russia might be drawn

The meeting was brief and there
will be another this evening at which
the Chinese and Japanese represent

replacing Ambassador Yoshizwa as
Tokyo's spokesman, might be able
sometime Wednesday to announce
new and more conciliatory instruc-

General Dawes remained again at
his hotel, but his conversations with
league statesmen during the past 48
hours was understood to have done
much to dissipate a feeling which
prevailed yesterday that the United
