CO-EDS PREFER LOVE
MATCH TO WEALTH

PITTSBURGH, May 20. CUP
Girls at the University of Pitts
burgh prefer ambitious young
men to men of middle age when il
comes TO matrimony.. At least
most Of them do. The minority
either wanted TO marry wealthy
older man or were undecided.
This information was the result
Of a poll Of 100 co-eds taken by
a reporter for the Pitt News, uni,
versity students publication.
The question asked the girls
was this: would you prefer to
marry man facing old age who
has a large income and who could
give you security, or would you
choose to travel along with a nice
but poor YOUTH"
SiXty-one of the co-eds ans
wered that they would prefer to
marry the poor youth, while the
other 80 replied that they would
either marry a wealthy older man
or couldn't make up their minds
on such short notice.
One girls answsred: 81 might
marry the old man for his money,
but after that what? You can get
tired looking even at dollals."
Another insisted that she wanted
to marry "a romantic fellow;
whether he's young or old doesn't
matter too much"
Still a third girl was coutious.

We are not finding fault with
the changed custom-we are
merely wondering if back of
it doesn't lie the real reason
for more minor physical all

The death rate isn't as

everyone is truly thankful.
We are more healthy, yet
more complaining; we wear

a funny proposition any way
you take it and no one seems

study was made among rural
mail carriers in Iowa. It costs
them 3.07 cents a mile to
drive their automobiles over

2.17 cents per mile, are much
better. But a good paved
highway is easy enough on

VALUE OF THRIFT

gathered over a long period

cent of American citizens
more than one-half the popu-

$4,000 in money or property,
or both, when they reach the
age of IS years. In other
words, more than one-half of
our population is dependent
upon somebody else for a liv-

reaches IS. That is a start

STITCHES IN TIME

You may never need any of
these safeguards, but they
are a wonderful protection in
the event of accident or sud-
den illness, when it may not
be easy to get in contact with
medical aid. Or it would come
in handy if you found some
one along the highway who
had fallen a victim to mis-
fortune. It doesn't take up
much room in the car, just as
this suggestion takes up but
little space in the paper, yet
the value of a ''first aid" kit,
like the value of the sugges-
ton, cannot be measured by
the space it occupies.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1938-02-10

No matter how well you
may be fixed for accessories
on your car, and even though
you seldom drive it more
than a few miles from home,
you still lack a very impor-
tant requisite for safety if
you haven't a "first aid" kit
of some sort under the front
seat. At a cost of but a few
cents any motorist can buy a
roll of medicated gauze ban
dage, a little package of alb
sorbent cotton, a vial of
arnica, a bit of adhesive tape,
some vaseline and, to make
the kit complete, a bottle Of
cramp and collie medicine.

NEEDS MACHINES
Industrial Engineers Face
Big Opportunity There,
Manning Declares.
pecta' DISPATCH to The Star.

Speci6. DlSpatcn 10 Inc Slar.
NEW YORK, Oct. 8-An industrial
awakening is now in process in many
Latin American countries whose popu-
lations are becoming sufficiently dense
to support mechanical civilization. AS
result. South America is offering a
new field for the application of North
American arts and developments in
industrial engineering and construc-
ton.
This viewpoint is set forth in the
current number of Commerce and
Finance by James H. Manning, presi-
dent of Ulen & Co., who points to
the necessity of the American engi-
neer approaching Latin American
problem on basis essentially differ
ent from that of a similar construction
problem in the United States.
y, Methods Differ widely.
1T is almost impossible for the
American engineer, coming from 4
country of low material and high wage
costs, to rsAlly appreciate in 8 short
period the great difference in methods
in the United States and South Amer
lea. Costs and time of transportation,
customs duties, climate, standards of
living and consequently wages, avail
ability and costs of raw materials and
of finished products fundamentally dis
rupt preconceptions which cannot be
easily dislodged.
With steel and cement at double
the cost and wages of skilled and
unskilled labor at from one-fourth to
one-tenth the costs current in the
United States, fundamental changes
are introduced into design and con-
struction procedure. Such inequalities
carry through all of the hundreds Of
elements Of construction, and no man
can b expected to readjust his judg-
ment on such matters without mature
experience in both domestic and for
eign fields.
Language a Barrier.
"The language barrier is Of great
importance, and in spite of the rather
provincial opinion that one can go
anywhere with the English language,
it is as unintelligent to assume that
one can conduct the complex business
of a construction operation in Brazil
or Argentina in the English language
as it would be to assume that Ger
man without knowledge of English
could carry on similar operation in
the United States.
Building laws and standards of de-
sign are fundamentally different, and
it is often a great shock to American
engineers to find out what native local
engineers can and will do to their pre-
conceived notions of structural, me-
chanical and architectural standards to
meet local competitive practices. An
adjustment must be found between
what is permitted by common prac-
tice in the foreign countries and the
limitations imposed by usual engineer
ing standards in the United States,
which will result in reasonable econ
omy in construction costs and will not
do violence to standards which are al
most inbred in American engineers"

LOSS ON VIRGINIA
TOBACCO FORECAST
Economist Blames Opening Of Old
Belt Sales After Start in
North Carolina.
Pv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BIACKSBURG, Va, Oct 8-Dr. J.
L. Maxton, agricultural economist at
Virginia Tech, estimated today that
Virginia producers Of bright tobacco
would lose half million dollars this
year because the ''old belt" markets
opened two weeks later than the mid
die belt" markets in North Carolina.
The v. P. I. specialist based his CAL
culations on an exhaustive analysis Of
comparative prices paid for the same
Federal grades of tobacco in the two
belts during the past several seasons.
His study will be submitted to the
Virginia Farm Bureau Federation for
use in its efforts to persuade the
Tobacco Board of Trade to open the
flue-cured markets in this State at the
same time such markets open in North
Carolina.
DIR. Maxton, who based his estimate
OF the loss to Virginia growers on his
calculation that the 1888 crop in this
State would gross slightly more than
1000, 900, said Virginia farmers has
been losing about the same proportion
each year because of the disparity in
the opening dates in the two States.

387, 7,O00- Bale Gain Over
September |.
Pr the Associated Press.

Pv the Associated Press.
The Federal Crop Reporting Board
forecast yesterday a cotton crop of
12,212,000 bales, based on conditions
as of October l. This was an increase
of $4,000 bales over the September
l forecast.
Such a crop would compare with
1896, 900 bales harvested last year,
the largest on record, and 13,201 900
bales for the 1927-1936 average.
The board said generally favorable
weather in September in all parts Of
the cotton belt, except Oklahoma and
Northwest Texas was factor leading
to the increase in the forecast Of this
years crop. Drought conditions con-
tinued in Oklahoma and Northwestern
Texas.
The board said cotton bolls opened
rapidly last month, and consequently
larger proportion of the crop than
usual was picked by october /.
In Texas, there was no change from
the September / Indicated production.
but in Oklahoma there was Z further
decrease. The board said the loss in
Oklahoma, however, was much more
than offset by marked increases in the
Mississippi River States and IN Ala
bama. 1t reported that in South
Carolina there was q recovery during
September of part of the losses sus-
tanned during August, due to unfavor-
able weather.
The Census Bureau reported cotton
of this years growth ginned prior to
October l, totaled 6,578,313 running
bales, compared with 8,260,071 for last
year. and 6,031 $50 for 1896.
The condition of the crop on Octo-
ber l was reported as 66 per cent OF

Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, Oct 8.-Profits of the
aircraft manufacturing industry this
year will reach new high and it
seems likely that they will top the
1898 level next year even though no
important foreign orders come in
within the next IL months, according
to current survey by the Standard
Statistics Co.
Because of the 35,000,000 of busi-
ness from the British and French this
year and large orders last winter and
spring from the United States Army
and Navy, the industry has enough
orders on hand to keep it operating
actively most, if not all, of 1899. Ad-
ditional Army and Navy business seems
pretty well assured for this winter
after the alull in Government orders of
the last few months.
The operating economies that 60
with big volume will help to swell
profits, but the fact that wide margin
export business accounts for larger
share Of the present backlog than ever
before is equally important. The
business now on the industry's books
should be more profitable than SIM
