GET RECORD FOR SI.OO BRIDE EDITS RITUAL FOR HER MARRIAGE Deletes “Obey” and Inserts New Charge. Pawtucket, R. I. —Miss Dorothy L. i Cheek, Mount Holyoke graduate, and Gordon Cedric Willand, Worcester Polytechnical institute alumnus, were united in marriage here recently with a ritual which had been edited by the 1 bride to conform to her idea of the real significance of marriage. The word “obey” was omitted from the vow and a paragraph inserted, in which the bride expressed her idea of the spiritual character into the rit ual read: “It is the duty of both to delight each in the society of the other; to remember'that, in interest and in reputation, as in affection, they are to l>e henceforth one and undi vided ; to preserve an inviolable fidel ity and to see to it that what God has joined thus together man never puts asunder.” “Will you love, cherish and honor him?” was the question, deleied of the stipulation “obey,” asked of the bride by her family pastor, Rev. Frank Rector, D. D., of the First Baptist church, Pawtucket. “Will you love, cherish, honor and protect her?” was the question an swered by the bridegroom. Miss Cheek, who lias been teaching chemistry at Western college, Oxford, Ohio, gave as her reason for editing the service her objection to the “light consideration” toward marriage cere monies held by the youth of today and her disagreement with the dogmatic ritual.

GOATS CLIMB TREES ' IN HUNT FOR FOOD Scarcity of Edible Material Causes Strange Antics. §an Diego, Calif.—Out in the Pa-, cific on a nearly barren island goats are learning to climb trees and swim in the ocean for food. Necessity is the teacher of this population of| Guadalupe island, a volcanic bit of: dry land sticking up out of the sea 240 miles southwest of San Diego. For the goats are now eating them-, selves out of house and home, accord ing to Laurence' M. Huey, curator of< birds and mammals in the natural his tory museum # here. The goats, which i overrun the island, are now having;* to resort to tree climbing and ocean diving for an existence. Guadaiupe island, which has become famous during recent years as the only known habitat of the elephant seal, formerly was used us a penal colony by the Mexican government. Today the only inhabitants are a guard of Mexican soldiers to protect the elephant seals, which have become almost extinct, and myriads of goats. Eat Bark From Trees. These goats climb to the highest pinnacle and thread- their dangerous way up the face of the cliffs over hanging the sea in search of a blade of grass, or bit of herbage. During thei dry season food is so scarce that the l goats have resorted to eating the bark from the cypress trees which crown the island, and desiring the luscious looking foliage they learned to climb, the trees. But by constant gnawing! away of the bark the trees are dying, and the . goats have had to turn to i the sea for their provender. They eati the bits of seaweed that are cast up on the beach and even venture into watei- ivi m »re pretentious forays. But the goats will be no more un less they mend their ways very soon, Huey says, for by destroying the cy press forests they ffre destroying tlieir only source of fresh water supply, and: unless they learn to subsist upon the hitherto unpalatable salt water they will die of both thirst and hunger. Nemesis of Other Life. The goats, which were first intro duced in the penal colony days to sup ply food and milk for the colonists, have proved the nemesis of 'other forms of life on the island. Os the ten forms of bird life and mammals that are endemic to Guadalupe, the: goats are responsible for the extinc-< tioa of three. The towhee and wren; were exterminated by the complete de struction of the underbrush, while the: carearas preyed upon the new-born kids' and were destroyed by men who had been granted the concession of ex ploiting the goats for their hides and tallow. - * The adventui'es of the goats are noti without peril, Huey said. Several’ car casses of goats have been seen float-, ing in the water beneath the pre cipitous cliffs, an evidence that the animals had fallen from the bluffs overhanging the sea. But, as a rule, he explained, the goats cling to the! face of the precipices almost as te naciously as a fly ascending a win dow-pane. French School Trains Girls to Help Husbands ‘ Paris. A high school girl in France dreams of how she can help her husband, says Mile. Caron, the directress of the Fenelon school, where 1.200 girls are educated, mostly daughters of state officials and of fam ilies of a good social position. “Formerly teaching was the first and only thing they thought of, now they and tlieir parents are ready to consider other careers,” Mile. Caron said. They are encouraged to become chemists and lawyers. As law clerks they earn 12,000 to 13,000 francs a : ’ year (under $400) for five or six hours a day work, with a month a year holi j clays and three months when a baby* j is born. --- - - >
