MATRIMONIAL
AGENCIES DO
BIG BUSINESS
NEW YORK, Jan. 12 (by Associated
Press).—Matrimonial agencies operat
ing in Chicago, Denver, Kansas City
and San. Francisco are finding many
clients at present in the East, accord
ing to detectives who recently saved a
young white woman, 20 years old,
from North Carolina, who came to
New York expecting to meet “a Cuban
gentleman of moderate means.”
The advertiser said he was “edu
cated and home-loving.” He proved to
be the negro janitor of a Bronx apart
ment house. The girl, with a letter
from him in her handbag, arrived at
the Pennsylvania station from her
small home town. She had never
been in New York before, and a rail
road porter turned her over to a Trav
elers’ Aid Society worker, who agreed
to accompany her to the home of the
man she called her “cousin.” Disillu
sioned, the young woman was given
shelter for the night, her family tele
graphed and funds received which per
mitted her return home, the townsfolk
being none the wiser.
In the police investigation of the
janitor which followed the man dis
played letters from women who were
membere of two correspondence clubs,
one in Oakland, Cal., and the other in
San Francisco.
Lists found in his apartment de
scribed women varying in age from
18 to 67, as follows:
“Beautiful California maiden, 24,
sixty-seven inches, 133 pounds, brown
hair, blue eyes, Protestant, college ed
ucation, musician, with $50,000;
wishes to marry a refined business
gentleman.”
“Pretty American maiden, 18, re
sides in Indiana, sixty-three inches,
129 pounds, dark brown hair, blue
eyes, well educated, musician, mem
ber of a wealthy family. She has no
use for society and wishes to marry
a home-loving companion.”
“Widow, 67, sixty-two inches, 130
pounds, dark gray hair, blue eyes,
Baptist, comfortable income, can play
the piano some, with between $25,000
and $36,000. Very lonely; resides in
Illinois.”
The letters were confiscated but the
janitor was not arrested, although his
case is still under investigation.
CORDOVAN IS
CHAIRMAN OF
COLLEGE FUND
NEW YORK, Jan. 12 (by Associ
ated Press).—The trustees and alum
nae of Smith College, Northampton,
Mass., on January 17 last began an
active campaign to raise a $4,000,000
fund for the college. In the United
States and other countries there are
approximately sixty clubs and dis
tricts of Smith alumnae, and to each
of these the central fund committee
will assign a quota.
Mrs. Thomas S. Scott of Cordova
has been appointed chairman in that
territory to work with the Smith alum
nae in securing the $4,000,000 needed
by the college to build additional dor
mitories, increase the salaries of the
members of the faculty, and provide
for improvements in manay of the col
lege buildings and much of the aca
demic equipment.
The present salaries paid to the pro
fessors and teachers of Smith College
are inadequate for the high cost of
living. In manay cases those with
families are forced to supplement their
salaries tirough duties outside the col
lege. Additional dormitories on the
campus will relieve the present
crowded housing conditions and will
also furnish a revenue that will as
sist materially in bringing about a 50
per ceht increase in the salary scale.
Graduates of Smith College in far
away lands for this fund are under I
the direction of the central fund com- <_
mittee. of which Mrs. Hannah Dunlop
Andrews of New York city is chair
man. Groups in Japan, China, Ha
waii, Porto Rico and the Philippines
are organized, and these will raise
their quotas in many novel ways.
Smith College is represented in Alaska
by Mrs. Edward E. Pierce, ’01, of Can
dle; Mrs. Elmer G. Bridgham, ’08, of
Sitka, and Mrs. Scott, the chairman
of the Alaska group.
The ingenious machines used by the
census bureau to count, sort and tabu
late the information gathered by the
census enumerators are the product
of the bureau’s own laboratory. The
sorting machines will take care of 200
cards per minute, the counting ma
chine can do 500 cards a minute, and
the tabulating machine is capable of
1 handling 400 cards each minute.
