When the beautiful twenty-year-old Serbian who objected to returning to the dreary wastes of her war-swept country, was single, - there were Indications that the group responsible for her education here to fit her for Serbian relief might hare hnd her shipped home. But now that' ' she has become Mrs. Sidney K. Wolf, wife of a young Instructor In the Shef field Scientific School of Yale univer sity, she can Ignore immigrant quotas and interested committees. The ftfct Of Mrs. Wolf's marriage "leaked out" on "the Tale campus. The couple have been married a week and are living at No. 110 College street, but beyond admitting their m&rrlage neither will discuss the subject Mrs. Wolf was sixteen when she came here after the The Inter national Serbian Educational associa tion sent her to Southwestern Louisi ana Institute at Lafayette, La., to be educated for service among her peo ple. There she met Mr. Wolf. ' She did return to Serbia and found cold and hunger there, but not the associations that four years at an American school had given her. In December she returned to America on La Savole. At that time It was re ported to the Serbian educational au thorities and Mr. Wolf urged her to return. There was an Interview with Dr.' Rosalie Slaughter Morton, head of the association, but following It the girl took a position as a cloak model and was deaf to suggestions that she go home. "ItfS news to me;" Doctor Morton >■ said when informed thot Olga Yosipo _ vltch had become Mrs. Wolf. "That appears to settle the question." , Mr. Wolf, also reached by telephone, thought so too. "It la ridiculous to speak of deport ing Mrs. Wolfi" he said. "A lot of untruths have* beeji printed about her over .this matter, but talk of deport " lng her Is the worst one."

After supper we adjourned to the main parlor, In which a huge fire bad been built, and Ruinsay Mac Donald, seated In a big armchair, with his long legs stretched to the grating and his bead resting comfortably on the back of the chair, took out his old pipe— truth makes me confess It should be cleaned —and regaled us with fanny stories for the next three hours, telling his experiences in the house of com mons and with. royalty. One of his jokes I must tell, writes William H. Crawford in Collier*^.' One labor member had done some excellent work in foreign lands. The king, knowing of it, sent for him to congratulate him for his service. He came to Mr. Mac Donald, saying: "Ramsay, I don't like to go to visit the king. I'll tell you what I did and let you tell him," but Mr. Mac Donald Insisted that it would be impolite for him to refuse to visit the king. With much perturbation the labor member went to Buckingham palace. The following day, when Mac Donald saw him, he was all smiles. "How did you come out,' Sandy?" "Fine. The king was unco nice." "Tell me all about it." "Wee!, It was like this. I was scared; ms' teeth were shakin' When his majesty came in. He noticed my nervousness and said: "You don't come to the palace often,' at which I ad mitted it was no' to my llkln' to come at all. He looked atxne, smiled, and said, "Here, sit down'here In the cor ner. Have a smoke, make yourself at homp. You swear, "don't you? Weel, swear awftV And In 'live minutes we were swear® awa' theglther like ony brlthers." -■\ ' ♦ , 9 Ergophobia Scared Him - Until It Was Explained A broad-shouldered man shuffled Into the receiving ward of a' city hos pital in Philadelphia the other day anid demanded a thor6ugh examination for a mysterious disease that had "com pletely knocked him out." He was so insistent that the resi dent physician committed him to a ward. , The next day the chief resident phy sician made . the examination, while the patient groaned and waited With a laconic smile- the doctor masked "ergophobia" on his card and passed on his rounds. "Just think, isn't that terrible?" cried the patient "Of all things, I am stricken with ergophobljt What will become of me?" "You're discharged from' the hospi tal, that's all," said the-resident phy sician curtly. "But I am dying from ergophobia. Say, doc, what does that t mean V the patient asked. "Oh, It's a' common disease. The word Is derived from 'ergon,' mean ing work, and 'phobia,' meaning fear. In plalapvords, my man, you're Batter ing train s fear of work—4nd - plain laziness, that's It" " 1 ■ f 1 "White Coat" Development New York state leads all the others In the amount of water power devel opment, the extent o& the utilisation being 1300,000 horse power.

APRIL 10, IW4 Natives Have Wonderful System of Storing Water There are many ways of storing wa ter, but the natural cistern of the na* tires of Darfor (west M the Soudan) seems to be the most wonderful. But for the tebddy tree, Darfurites would perish from drought These great trees grow In hollows, hv which the rain collects during the wet tea son. which lasts all through July and Augpst The enormous trunks are hollow. As soon as the rain begins the natives gather up the watet in leather >begs. An expert climber gees np the tree with a-rope to which is attached-the precious bag; be hauls it up withe caret 1 and empties the water into the NsNow trunk. The hollownees is-aot tho-io suit of age or disease, and the sar» rounding wood Is absolutely water tight Each little group of "tuUs" (hats) possesses Its own trees. And on their contents tlft people live throughout the ten dry months. The tebeldy tree is a fruitful scarce of trouble. Many tribal flgtfts are waged solely because »> man from one village is believed to have been seen climbing the trees;, of another. The trees belonging to s village, or group of "tukls," are not public property for 1 the dwellers In that group. The ahrik and his family have the first claim on the water, and their share Is claimed to a decimal point Another man may have a family claim, going back through several generations, to a cer tain proportion. , . —————— , Nordic Race Is Rapidly Disappearing in Europe A shifting of peoples htfs been* go ing on in Europe for generations, aid slnSfe medieval times the lower classes and races have expanded at the ex pense of the npper classes, so that many countries which formerly had large Nordic populations, such as Spain and Italy and the, provinces of the old Austrian empire, are almost stripped of their Nordic blood. France, which all through medieval times down to within a century ago'was very Nordic, has reached a point where the Nordic population has shrunk to a hopeless minority in the natioh. Germany is feeling the re placement of. Nordic by Alpine'blood very .severely, and- many-ofi kes fore most thinners regard *er»aa. (almost lost to the Nordic race.

A clew to the number of flsh on the dietary list of an active porpoise may be had from the num ber of otoliths or earbones of flsh found In the stomach of the sea mam mal. One porpoise has yielded 1 enough of these to account for the consumption of 7,51*1 flsh, and since these otoliths are thought to be dis solved In the stomach In a period of no great length, the flsh-eatlng pro clivities of the porpoise may be es timated.
