Miss Abbott has compiled statistics which show that but few of the graduates of Vassar marry, and that perpetuation of Vassar traditions in the second feneration is imperiled by the fact that in the fam flies of such as do marry the children average only ne and one-half. ' ." Perhaps those who assume that a college educa tion indisposes women to domestic duties and makes them averse to marriage go too far, says the Call In spite of all the instructions of prudence end pawkishness, romance is the leading element in mnr riage. But romance, with its rainbow and bloom, its enthusiasm and optimism, its disregard of butter and of bread, has its period of adoleseense and de cline.' If the years of romance be passed by women in the seclusion of college life, and its knock at the door of the heart be unheard in the ambitious and scholastic interests of the classroom, the rainbow Tision seldom comes again. The prince on a white horse is not seen by the eye of fancy, and man is looked upon in his natural shape as a rather uninteresting animal, who feeds like an ox, and smokes and chews, sometimes drinks, and seems to have his pleasures in wading to his girthy-middle in trout streams, or in gunning for game. All things have their time, and if the time of romance lie spent in the workaday occupations of college, in learning the relations of the hypo tenuse to the other side or. a triangle and m gazing through a telescope at the twinkling stars and stead' fast planets, the incentive to marriage has no ex. istence, and the bachelor maid, panoplied by her parchment, goes forth not fancy free even, for she has no fancy. She is a matter-of-fact person, not lubject to illusions. But what of man ! Poor devil, you may tie him to a whirling wheel, immerse him in business, or boil him in oil, and you cannot kill romance in him. It disturbs his dreams before he is 20 and it flashes like the aurora borealis in his winter skies when he is 80. In his case neither age nor occupation can safeguard him against it. If he isn't watched and tended he will run off and get married w hen he has lost all his teeth and all his hair. A college educa tion does not cure him. No education at all does not impair the iridescent vision. Jack will idolize Jill, and Darby will invest Joan with sweet and angelic attributes, world without end. ' If all the ladies choose to indurate the romantic spot in their hearts by going to college, man will lose his interest in life and pine and die. Then what will Vassar do! THE FAR EASTERN SITUATION. A month elapsed after Liao Yang liefore Field Marshal Oyama moved on Mukden. A month slips by since the terrible battles from the Yen Tai mines to the Shakhe river and the Japanese have not taken the offensive. Kuropatkin is in no position, at pres ent, to move. Theft have lut'ii changes in his staff of lieutenants and generals, and until Linevitch and Gripponborg get to the front, the Russian command-er-in-ehiof will hardly become belligerent. The de-j partutv of Viceroy AlexietT, tot), has left Russiau affairs in Manchuria in chaos, so far as civil ad ministration is concerned. Interest in the campaign, there fore, centers on Port Arthur. If Oyama can take that city he will have 80,000 men to add to his forces in front of Mukden, or a like number to swann into Korea and no lay out that country that Russian invasions from Vladivo stok next spring will be made donbly hnrd. But Port Arthur persistently stands. Should Stoessol hold out a month, even though he should ultimately be forced to surrender, the magnificent demonstra tion his defense of Port Arthur has made in the Japanese rear can not fail to have boon of the ut . a i i i i k . at at at. mosi importance, uaa rori annur iaiien after a siege of two, or even three, months, the forces added to Oyouia's armies by the release of the besiegers might probably have so turned the scale at Mukden that Kuropatkin would have been driven out of Manchuria early in the campaign. Further important operations this winter, there fore, appear unlikely, although the forces in front of Mukden are in close touch and St. Petersburg expects Oyama to take the offensive at any moment. t remains to be seen whether the commissary force of either side is sufficient to enable the armies to drag stores over the snow and through the mud. There Is little hope of Oyama being able to roll up Kuropatkin now, even though the mikado's men gain a decided victory. The best Oyama could do would be to push Kuorpatkin out of Manchuria am that would have little bearing on the spring cam paign next year. swell Torts I IH A Z7rr&TlUA men For Men. P. A.

Fifteen carloads of condensed milk comprised an e shipment made from the farms of the White river valley to a distributing agent in Seattle a few days ago, says the Post-Intelligencer. The train tarried 7,500 cases of prepared milk from the con- deasary at Kent. It was estimated to have a valua tion of $30,000 or more, while in the hands of the wholesalers. This great quantity of cream repre- lented only a part of the output from dairy farms m the past 30 days. A conservative estimate places the actual milk handled in that valley at one carload every day. Five years ago the condesary could not get enough cream to keep a small force of workmen employed. Now an army of men and women has jtcady employment, and the condensing machinery is kept running day and night. The farmers have engaged more generally in the work of dairying. They are accumulating property every day in the year. Their credit is good everywhere. :There is no bnger any question about spending money for the family purposes. The children are better clothed and more satisfied with life in 'the country. J ! The possibilities of dairying in the Puget sound country have not been approximated. Those en gaging in the business have simply opened the way for thousands of others who may follow in the foot steps to future prosperity. . The conditions of climate and soil prodctions are so favorable that no section of the world offers greater inducements for those seeking dairy field. The meadows are perpetual There is no excess of heat or cold. The summe-g and winters are ideal. Every form of dairy cow food products can be grown to perfection in the fer tile soil. A good dairy cow returns the original investment annually. Poor cow possess no value on the dairy MISS KELLER'S EXAMPLE. , Perhaps you were born poor and had to begin life without an education at an age when you should have been at school; maybe from the beginning there were responsibilities forced upon you that worked against your progress. You feel that you were handi capped in the race and are inclined to blame fat that you are not greater, or wiser, or richer than you are. If this is your attitude, there is a lesson for you in the news wherein was related the story of tin great honor paid to Helen Keller at St. Ijouis, say,; the Examiner. The exposition city is full of gnat people. Great soldiers, preachers, teachers, invent ers and philanthropists are there now or have been there. The men and women of today who have made their mark on history's page are among the vis itors to the fair, but to one person only was offered the; tribute of having a special set aside in her honor. This girl was born with disadvantages beside which the hadicajis that move so many men and women to self-pity seem trivial and unworthy of con sideration. By her own efforts and the helping hand of the most wonderful teacher in the world she broke from the prison to which it seemed she had been condemned broke the double bars of silence and darkness and took her place among the useful, compentent men and women of her time. The next time you feel like bemoaning your fate and cursing your luck think of what Helen Keller met and surmounted and brace up. mmtgmrn:ttffltttttt8tt8mumttt; Next Time You need a pair of Men's, Women's or Children's SHOES (Honest, Durable Shoes) For less money than you have been paying try S.

Greater New York will have a population of 6, 191,250 in 1920, according to a sober prediction made by an engineer of national reputation. By the figures on which he bases his estimate this mians an increase in the population of the metropolis of 2,357,251 inhabitants. If one can imagine a mob ster city as large as London with all its environs, a eity capable of containing the combined popula tions of Paris, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Dublin, Butto, Mont, and Patterson, N J., or, to take another view, a city with a population within 100,000 as large as that of the state of Pennsylvania, or one as large as the combined populations of Alabama, Indiana, Wyoming, North Dakota and Hawaii, one may ob tain an idea of the immensity expressed in these seven figures. If we add to this the possibilities of a serieg of wonderful transportation systems, uniting almost within the hour New York and Philadelphia, with its increased population of 2,000,000, into prac tically one mighty municipality, with a chain of big Jersey cities, like Jersey City with 450,000, Newark with 400,000, Elizabeth with 150,000 and a score of smaller places, we may have a vision of the future more marvelous than the dreams of the most daring romancer. Automobiliits do Not Lik. to Put out Their Igniters. New York, Nov. 10. A teat suit hn been opened here In the United States dlHlrkt court to eHtalillHh the consti tutionality of the federal law which requires that all fire Igniters on auto mobiles must be extinguished before they pass upon a ferry boat. Since the law was enforced a few months ago automoblllsts have complained that they were put to great hardships because It necessitated pushing their heavy machines on and oft the boats. In bringing the case to a test, the United States district attorney filed a libel on one of the ferryboats.
