Inquiry on Ix>ve * Launched in N. Y. Bureau of Hygiene Sends Out Questionnaire to Matron* and Spinsters. New York, April 3.—College women throughout the country have been asked by the Bureau of Hygiene, Inc., founded by John D. Rockefeller, jr., to answer unusually frank question naires concerning love, it was learned today. Questions put to unmarried women include: •‘How old were you when you first began to spoon?” “What effect, as you estimate it now, did spooning have upon the quality of your character?" Why Not Married. "Will you give th£ heason why you have not married?” "What things are most stimulating to you?” Married women and widows were asked these questions: T*«s your married life been a happy one?. % "If not, why not?” "Were you strongly attracted to ward young men?” "If so, how would you describe this attraction?” "Did you indulge with one or more young men in the intimacies usually embraced in the term spooning?” As to Spooning. "If so, how far did you go in spooning?” ' The purpose in asking these ques tions is to aid in solving vexing ques tions in hygiene. "We must have more information about the average women in order to have any reliable guidance in the training of our girls and boys," the statement reads. “The needed information covers items of personal tendency, personal experience and personal opinion. To he of real value much information must come out of the life experience of sensible and intelligent women who can be relied upon to furnish thought ful and frank statements.” One Man Killed, Two Injured in Fight at Union Meeting Cleveland.

Is Sound There's Good Reason to Ex pect Long Run of Pros perity, Says Hoover. Washington, Apj;ii 3.—The country’s present business boom is on a sound foundation, Secretary Hoover said to I day, and there is good reason to ex j pect a long continuance of prosperity. "The business condition Is marked just now by the fact that the goods are not accumulating,” the secretary said. "Although production is at a high point, consumption is equally as strong. Goods are moving contlnm ously through the channels of distri bution and are not piling up in a way that might indicate a check to busi ness activity would be possible. "Likewise prices are not showing the runaway tendencies that we wit nessed during war time and immedi ately after. Although economic fore casting is always hazardous, I can see nothing on the business horizon which indicates that reverses are due." Injunction Against Union Organizers Is Suspended Richmond.

Bishop Predicts Talk With Dead Right Rev. Herman Pago Sees Conversations as Possible as Wireless. Spokane, Wash., April 15.—Church people and many others interested in tlie possibilities beyong life were dis cussing today the prediction made here yesterday by Rt. Rev. Herman Page, bishop of the Spokane diocese of the Protestant Episcopal church, that communication with the spirits of the dead “will eventually be as possible as it is now to cotnmunicate by wireless.” Bishop Page made this forecast at i a meeting of Spokane Ministerial alii i ance. He took occasion to give rec ognition to the Christian Science church, which, he said, would progress as long as other churches refrained from taking part in the movement of spiritual healing. The bishop add ed that he had "no” antipathy toward spiritualism. In his opinion, “the world today is drifting toward a spiritualistic move ment which, though still In its in fancy, may develop to great heights. “Christian Science is the religion to which the sick turn. Since other churches have not taken up mental healing in any way, people naturally turn toward the Scientists. Until the other churches make a constructive progress in that line, the Scientists will progress more rapidly in the art.” New Type of Gas Mask Perfected by Army Scientists New Haven. Conn..
