M Fm: —r Pursuit of Pleasure Costly to Health, Educators Told New York, Nov. 24.~Dr. Eu gene Lyman Fisk told members of the American Education con ference that the modern young woman’s self-coBfidence in her ability to defy convention and tradition may be somewhat shak en by the knowledge that she is giving away under the strain and that she is not as good an ani mal as her brother. % g Lessening of Years. The price exacted of the flap per by what she considers her • freedom, Dr. Fisk said, is a less ening of her years, an inability to get all that should he obtain ed from life, physically and spir itually, and a general deprecia tion of health. “I am not charging theso re sults wholly to the neglect of personal hygiene,” he added, "but to the whole post-war situation, emphasizing the materialistic and self-indulgent standard of living; a certain hard crust of selfishness leading to unwillingness to do anything that is troublesome or dietaateful—especially to take ad vice and act upon it if it inter feres with pleasure.

Tuberculosis, influenza and the mortality ot child-birth are chiefly responsible for this excess. Par ticularly- distressing is the fact that tuberculosis, which has been sturdily yielding in most groups of the population, is here so defi ant and resistant. Tuberculosis Gains. The growth of the cigarette habit among young women has led directly to an increase in the tu berculosis rate, Dr. Fisk main tained. Faulty diet and late hours, added to the strain of commercial and industrial em ployment and the unfavorable in fluence of sedentary business life, also are factors in the return ing prevalence of the disease, he sdid. This condition is not a neces sary accompaniment of present civilization, the physician contend ed, asserting thpt graduates of women’s colleges show a very low mortality rate and “an apparent substantial improvement in phy sique as compared with the col lege^ gfrl * df a quarter century ago. tt But, he said, examination of many thousands of ydung women in commercial and industrial life had disclosed “a high ratio of physical impairment and a re gulable prevalence of tubercu losis or pretuberculosis condit ions.” SELLS HOUSE AND LOT HERE FOR $6,000 Kincaid Thomas sold Saturday afternoon to Mrs. Addavale Thom ns a house and lot on South Eighth street for $6,000.

Father Receives $5 a Day to I Take His Children to School | _ Lackawaxen, Pa., ‘Nov. 24.—At a meeting of the school board of this township it was discovered that last year a citizen, quite within the law, technically, had received between $4 and $5 a day from the school fund for services in driving his own children to and from school throughout the entire Session. It also wae disclosed by the county superintendent that thou sands of children in Pennsyvania are deprived of educational advan tages despite the compulsory ed ucation law. V* One of these disclosures helps to explain the other. If a school is closed, under the law, and there .is no other school within a specified distance, it be comes a duty of the state to pro vide transportation to the nearest district. No Objections. A father, who, it was intimated, had made no objections to having the school closed near his home, received the contract to transport his own children to another school. It was said that he received al as much for his services as the teacher herself. The law is not so jealous of the rights of all children, the super intendent said. If parents move into a district where there is no schpol within a specified number of miles they cannot insist upon transportation for their children, and, on the oth er hand, cannot be compelled to send their children to school. One father was before the board to demand that his daugh ter be allowed transportation, and concluded his petition with the naive suggestion: “I thought if the board would allow me a $1.50 a day, I wouldn’t mind taking her myself.

The trouble in the house started, according to the woman’s story, when her eldest daughter, Eliza beth, was shot and killed last sum mer. Mrs. De Falco says the shooting was accidental, but her husband was arrested afterward and is now in the Tombs facing trial for the killing of his daughter. Ida Disappeared. At that time zca was sent up town to an uncle, the mother said. She disappeared from the uncle’s house, and has not been seen since. So Mrs. De Falco does not see how she can be held blameworthy for ndt sending Ida to school whan she has no idea where Ida is, and especially when so many other troubles are pressing on her. The family has no means of support now, the mother said. When she was asked why she had not notified the Missing Persons Bureau, she said she had not known such an agency existed. Notwithstanding her story, the magistrate held her responsible to the extent of $1 fine, which the woman paid, after scraping to gether dimes and nickels from her pocketbook.
