Girls In Country Have Better Chance To Marry, Is Survey Raleigh News and Observer. “I see by the papers that the girl living In the city is slightly less likely to voyage upon the sea of matrimony than her country sister, and the bigger the city the sr Her the chance,” observed Frank Jeter, State college agricultural editor, extracting a clipping from his pock et. The clipping gave the result of surveys worked out by students in the school of commerce of the Un- i iversity of Wisconsin, and among] other things brought out that: "In cities with a population of 25.000 to 100,000. one survey finds, the percentage of single women be tween the ages of 15 and 24 is 28 per cent, and in cities over the 100, 000 mark 32 per cent of the women of that age are single. “In the study of urban versus rural marriages single women of all ages in the rwral sections average 24.6 per cent, and in the urban cen ters, 21.8 per cent. Between the ages of 25 to 34 single women in the country average 14 per cent, while single women of the same age group in the cities average 21 per cent of all city women of that age. "Throughout all age-groups stud ied, and in every one of the 48 states, there is consistently a higher percentage oi single women in the cities, the surveys find. The great est difference is found in the age group of 45 and over.” Gaffney Man Falls 35 Feet Into Cut Car Dumps Him Off Wagon And Takas Long Plunge Down Fill. Gaffney, S.
