I know a young Yale graduate In Philadelphia who is now convinced lhat a college education is a bar to wealth, "Girard" writes in the Phil adelphia Press. He is a clever electrician and got a job after leaving Yale which paid ! being one-halt ot Lot jso- y in tne ai hlm $30 o week. In his new place he j vision of the lands of . L. D. Williford. came in contact with an uneducated foreman who tried to persuade the college lad to "turn a day laborer and join the union." He was assured that in a fortnight he could get $(50 a week. The young son of Eli stuck to his electrical job and when wiring a build ing in Philadelphia a boss painter told him he could get double the $30 a week he was then getting if he look up the paint brush. Do you wonder that this youth who holds his Yale sheepskin is puzzled in figuring out just how a college edu cation pays him? Diphtheria Being Conquered. In tne October issue of the State Board of Health's bulletin a success ful warfare against diphtheria is in dicated in a line of statistics begin ning with 1915. Then there were 525 deaths in each 100,000 popula tion. In 1916 the number was 418, vaiiaoie Biausuw iui hj.o oixu that, there were 252 deaths in 1,306 cases and in 1919 there were 242 deaths in 3,519 cases; the fatality in the first being 18-47 and in the se cond 6-88. Thus there is a marked, a radical reduction in deaths- To deaths in 3,519 cases; the fatality in ference- The bulletin prints a lei- ter from a woman who says her drug gist charged her $12,00 for the anti toxin. The Board does not rail at the druggist It appeals to his moral sensibilisies and asks him if he will cooperate in saving lives by selling this medicine at cost. The faniily j doctor can get the medicine, and he is asked to do as he should look after the financial interest of his patients hr wpII aa the disease. When results ! are the same he should save them I money. A Business "Proposal." There was no sentiment about Herbert Jones- He met the girl he wished to marry, and he proposed like this "Mary Dugh, will you be my life-partner. I am a business man- If you are agreeable, I will draw up a marriage-contract, we'll both sign before witnesses, and then we can carry on the world's work- She gasped, but presently regained her composure- "Fortunately," she said. "I've had a little business tram- I ine mvself , so we can discuss this proposed contract propeny ana ais-, propnation lor that purpose passionately." i Publisher Is it unethical to save he told her- She smiled sweetly. "I regret 1 can give you nothing better than the second option," she said. "What!" he exclaimed- "I'm afraid I have to inform you I am already engaged that is to say, the first option is already taken. But a first option does not necessarily mean, a closed contract. If you don't w nt to take a chance on a seconu option, say so; if you do, I'll drop you a line if I find myself on the mat rimonial market agm. "That's cold-blooded!" he com plained. "It's business!" she averred. "TM rather have first option!" he pleaded.
