Cv Conclusions That Have Been
Auhr-d by the Registrar at tho
Boston City Hal'.
Krtuard \V. McGlennen, registrar at
ttte Boston city hall since 1900, who
Biceps record of that city's marriages,
Sas found in his study of the subject
«f selection that association deter
mines a man's course in the selection
of his wife, and when you have chosen
your vocation you have automatically
chosen your lifeinate at the same time,
observes the New York Herald. Mr.
McGlennen lias found that tailors mar
ry tailoresses, longshoremen choose
waitresses, many employees and clerks
Knarry stenographers, while profession
al men more often pick their wives
from the girls in society in which they
anove.
After eighteen years of daily obser
vation of the way and habits of pro
spective hoinemakers, Mr. McGlennen
Ma come to the conclusion that prox
imity is the chief determining factor
In a man's choice of a wife.
In-the long and voluminous marriage
records the various averages of tho
different vocations siiow that chauf
feurs and cooks are attracted by- do­
tailors, dressmakers and
snilliners incline toward still closer re
lationship. Salvation Army men choose
a Salvation Army lassie, the sea Cfip

Glennen believes that good looks and

a matter of environment. The
telephone operator is a favorite with
She soldier, also the nurse who min
isters to him when wounded. lAinch
iooui proprietors more often marry
their cashiers, and so it goes on.
What puzzles Mr. McGlennen, how
ever, is why a mariner chose a dent
ist's assistant as life mate and how
a street car conductor came to pick
out an actress for his wife. These are
axceptions to the general rule.
Lied in Attempt to Save Pet.
Determined efforts by ladies of high

without license into Enghind were re
cently described to a representative at
the diseases of animals' branch of the

HOLLAND LAND OF PRIMNESS
American Visitor Attracted by Neat
Appearance and General Cleanli
ness Everywhere Noticeable.
Holland and the Hollanders are as
unlike France as two countries can
be, Corp. David Rantseur writes In the
Indiapapelis Star. Tile rural districts
of Holla id look like one big formal
garden ind the cities of Holland look
•is if they bad been cast in a huge
mold, set down carefully and scoured
and polished every day. Hut France
looks more like a country expressly
designed to please the eye, and the
cities of France, more helter-ske'ter,
reflect the temperamental spirit of the
French.
A smalJ city in Fiance neglects
whole streets anc, districts in order
that one spot, ore park, cathedral or
building, may '.To beautiful. Hut in
Holland the idea seems to be to make
It all substantial and neat and that
Is why wherever one goes in Rotter
dam or The Hague he linds the same
orderly rows upon rows of apartment
Ileuses or business blocks with the
same little staid parkways and parks
that somehow remind one of the old
fashioned "best rooms" of a genera
tion ago.
I have covered Rotterdam and The
Hague, and in neither city have I
.''i.und a district that corresponds to
our tenement districts or that was
characterized by the squalor or dirt
of the poon sections of our Ameri
can cities. I found districts where
poor people lived and where the houses
were not so good, but even those poor
ei people looked clean and their houses
were clean, the streets and alleys
clean, .just as in the l-.ett.er districts.
In Holland it is the men who wear
the best clothes if is the men vho are
the better looking the best shops are
for men. the tobacco shops of Rotter
dam are gorgeous, there is no other
word, they rival in splendor even iiie
jewelry shops of Fifth avenue. New
York. The shops for men's wear are
much more attractive than those for
women's wear and everything there
seems to be of men and for men.
In Rotterdam one would not, as he
would in a French town, drop into a
cafe or store and start jollying the
inaduine or mademoiselle and playing
with the youngsters. I rather think
that if we did that over there the
stolid Dutch frau would call for help
and one of the solemn-looking police
men who stalk about 1 lie street would
escort us to the local jail. Those
things aren't done in Rotterdam.
How Fast Shot Travels.
When standing within a few yards
of a gun's muzzle at the time of dis
charge, a person would be amazingly
astonished were he only able to see
the shot go whizzing IJV. Experiments
In instantaneous photography prove
that the shot not only spread out,
cometlike, as they tt.v, but they string
out. one behind another at a much
greater distance than they spread.
Thus, with a cylinder gijn, when the
shot of a charge reaches a target that
is 40 yards away, the last shot is lag
ging full ten yards behind. Even a
chokebore gun s^.ot will lag behind
eight yards in 40. This accounts for
the wide swath that is mowed in a
flock of ducks on which a charge of
shot falls just right. About 5 per cent
only of the shot, according to the most
reliable deductions from experiments,
arrive simultaneously at the target
aimed at. the others lagging In the
ratio named above.

The girls in tlie home come from
every walk of life. Willful girls of
wealthy parents as well as those girls
who are suffering from ignorance or
from poor home conditions come in
response to the need which tfrey feel.

WELCOME GIVEN
TO NEEDY GIRLS
Salvation Army Rescue Home
and Maternity Hospital Is
Doing Great Work.
TINY TOTS CARED FOR
ceive as Loving and Healthy Start
in Life as Though Born Under
Normal Conditions.'
Salvation Army Home Service. The
motto is: "One May Be Down, But
Never Out." A girl is never allowed
to feel that she has entirely ruined
her life by a mistake. She is taught,
by the influence of the lives of the
Salvationists who are constantly with
8PCnds the day in
tive effort, in sewing, laundry, or in
any kind of work necessary to keep
up such an institution and which will
help her to get a position after she
leaves.
About 50 per cent of the girls wfro
are in tlie home come from the city
and the other half from the country..
The majority are from Minnesota, but
there are a few from Wisconsin and
many from the Dakotas. Many cases
are brought from the city hospitals,,
some girls are sent by parents or
friends, but most of them come in- re
sponse to the help which they know
they will find there. At present there
are fifty-two girls and forty-seven bab
ies in the- home. The average age- ©f!
the girls is sixteen and there are girls
from fourteen to twenty. From the
time that the girl comes to the home
until she leaves, her identity is de
stroyed and she is known to the other
girls as Lulu, Betty, or Selma, bnt
never by her last name. Her last
name is scratched off her mail in the
office and she is protected in every
way from the criticism of the world.
The home keeps close track of the
girls after they leave. They now have
a mailing list of ItiO girls and every
month they send out copies of a pub
lication. "The Lifeline" which tells
of tho doings of the home. The first
Sunday of the month is "Out of Lovev
Sunday, on which all the girls: who
can, come back and bring their-chil
dren. The home always seems "home"
to all who have ever been there. When
the girls are out of work they return
to the home rathor than go to places
which would present temptations. The
mor.:.l influence which is established
wheel the girl is in the home follows
and guides her everywhere.
The present building for the .Jjome
was erected about five years ago, and
is already outgrown. It has accom
modations for" seventy-five girls »and
babies and contains all modern hos
pital and home conveniences. Plans
for a new building are in the hands
of an architect. The structure will be
placed on the same ground with the
present one and will cost about ?110,
000 without the furnishings. It will
be essentially a hospital with room
for sixty girls and sixty babies,-While
the old building will be turned into
the administration and dormitory
building. The new building will de
pend on the money raised from the'
funds raised in the present campaign
for home service. Inasmuch as girls
from the Dakotas and Wisconsin as
well as from this state are cared, for,
it is honed that the Rescue Home

Children of Unmarried Mothers Re- Will Enable Salvation Army to Do
Tiny bits of humanity, children of
unmarried mothers, ordinarily cast out
by the world at large, are given as lov

welcomes needy girls from all over

rendering that assistance to the cities

poor shall have somewhere to go
where there is light, warmth, music,
companionship, and every imaginable
concoction of soft drink that lemon,
orange, ginger and soda can put to
gether. I stand here today and appeal
to you in the name of the destitute—
they that shiver in the cold' and
swelter in the heat they that go hun

dim, stifling lodging houses they who'
sit in ill-lit cellars and sleep in de
serted stable-yards they who look for

whole existence is one hard struggle
just to keep alive—I ask your help for
these, the poor and the destitute.
"America has been kind enough to
call our women of the war heroines—
and they are worthy of the name
but the great heroines of the Salvation
Army, the martyrs of the Salvation
Army, are the women at our. Slum S'et-
tlements, onr Rescue Homes, and' our
hospitals. They scarcely, know a
night's sleep unbroken! They work
eighteen hours a day. They soothe
the pains of the sick They- minister
to the dying. They are often the only
mourners at the pauper's grave They
are in the haunts of vice. They are
deep in the filth, squalor, and disease,
rescuing, ever rescuing human souls,
and healing broken hearts when we
are sleeping. Above all I champion
the "cause of little helpless children.
We gather in the children from the1
blast—children of all kinds and na
tionalities, the children of widows who
cannot go to work because of the bab
ies, the children whom policemen pick
up and do not know what to do with,
children of bedridden mothers whose
fathers are in jail, children abandoned
in vacant lots, or found on doorsteps,
children who swelter and die on the
slum pavements in the broiling sum
mer sun and who freeze under the
scanty covering of a piece of sacking
when the weather is zero. We have
our homes in the country, and on the
sea shore where the waves come up
and wash over the little feet. Yet, the
cruelty of it—we are held back for the
want of money.
"It is hard to credit that from the
early Salvation Army woman who car
ried a bed on her back through the
streets to a blind alley where a moth
er lay dying ,on rags, there came all
our social operations which are now
to be found for the helping and shel
tering of the poor outcast, the down
trodden and the unfortunate all over
the world our industrial homes for
unemployed men's hotels for the
homeless labor bureaus.for the work

the unfortunate nurseries, retreats
and orphanages for neglected child
hood emergency relief Repots which
supply clothes and food and fuel for
the clothless, the starving and cold
hospitals for mothers and children,
ft ee dispensaries for the poor. But it
is so. We have gone far though we
had no money but trials and discour
agements. Above all else we hear the
call of duty and must devote onr selves
to our cause—th« service of human

better way could be
found to illustrate and
emphasize the usefulness of
the Standard Oil Company
(Indiana), and the broad
and varied service it renders,
than to take five minutes
and imagine a gasiess year.
Think how our lives instead of being full
and complete through association ^ith
our fellow men would be circumscribed by
the barriers set up by shank's mare.
Think how manufacturing would be ham
pered. How industry generally would
be crippled. How crops would go to
waste through inability to harvest, and
the leaps and bounds that the cost of liv
ing would take.
Instead of the natural expansion of busi
ness that comes from service and useful
ness, the whole structure of business
would be hampered through sheer inabil
ity to render to society that service which
society has been' accustomed to demand.
The Standard Oi! Company (Indiana) is
a public servant owned by 4849 stock
holders, no one of whom -holds as much
as 10 percent of the stock.
The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is
doing a- big job in a big way and has
grown great simply by reaping the re
wards that come from rendering the serv
ice demanded by business and society in
a manner satisfactory and beneficial to
the world at large.
