New York, Dec l0---(UP)- )--The famous daughter Of . quaker mi1l- CT and an infant prodigy who be- came tho storm center of political. educational and, pacihst mOve- ments in America shared the worlds highest honor to-day for their contribution to world peace.
 Miss Jane Addamg Of Hull House, Chicago, received word while she lay in q hospital bed nt Baltimore that the Nobel peace prize for 1881 had been divided between herself and President Nicholas Murray Butler of Colupi- bia University.
 She will devote her share of ths award, amounting to about 123,000 to the activities of tho Woman's International League for Peace of which she has been president for many years.

 Jane Addams' life work in the slums has brought socioIogists. statesmen, philosophers and phil. hnthropists from all over ths world 10 her Hull House workshop.
