Youth' of Today Wants Liberty, Says Educator pTonng Folks Demand Same Privilege* as Parents En joy—Defy Older Traditions. -. Chicago, April -7. — "Like father like son," never meant more than It does today. In the opinion of Miss ' Mary Ross Potter, dean of women at Northwestern university. And Miss Potter would add another line to the adage to read, "Like mother, like daughter.” Miss Potter firmly believes that if mother sees fit to take"an occasional drag on a cigaret. then no real ob jection can be made to daughter's purchasing a cigaret holder and a package of "fags.” In the same man ner, if It Is right and proper that papa ahould Indulge in a highball, then son ny has the same right. "What’s good for the goose Is good tor the gadder,” Miss Potter says. The young man and the young worn ‘ an of today have discarded the old Idea that when they were told cer tain things wera not good for them they must shun those things, al though mother and father enjoyed the selfsame things. Nowadays, she says, the young people proceed on the theory "If that isn't good for me I can't see why It is good for them.” Young people of today are much farther advanced than the young peo ple of 10 years ago, Miss Potter be • lieves. Her belief is strengthened fur ther by the fact she points out that young people are stepping from the universities into far more responsible positions than did their elders. "Don't make young people believe they must have their good times now j and then settle down to hard work later,” Miss Totter urges. “It was '■ never meant that the older folk were ! not to mix in pleasure with their bus- j ;; iness. "Right and wrong ate the same at I ’ 16 and 60. The example must be set by til© patents,” Americans After German Railways, Engineer Charges ( Hr Aixirlalnl Press. Berlin. April 7.—Charges that Amer ican interests have been trying to get \ [ control, of the German railroads and that there is imminent danger of a Franco-Belgityt combination for a world jplning monopoly as an ont-| growth of the Huhr occupation were made in an address by Dr. Neuhau sen. a well known mining engineer, before the Association of German Engineers. ‘Before the war,” Dr. Neuhausen said, ‘‘Germany led in heavy Indus- i try. surpassing tha English and the j Americans. The result was the war. Had Germany won and the ore basins of Longwy and Briey been made avail able to her, then the American heayy industry would have been done for. ‘ Now it appears a near possibility that Trance may assume Germany's position. For thia she needs coke j and the Industry of the Ruhr district, i America cannot and will not permit ' France to dominate absolutely tn the European mining industry. — Head of Defunct Packing Company Is Rearrested New Orleans, April 7.—The hearing on a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the case of Ben 1 Salinger, former vice president of the defunct j Midland Packing company of Sioux City, la., charged In a federal war rant indictment at Sioux Falls.

By Cnlrwml SntlM. j New York, April 7.—"Life la like this—” And Mabel McCune. well known act ress, shrugged her shoulders. In the light gesture there was a little gaiety and a little pathos. Mabel is being sued for divorce in Cincinnati by her husband. Victor K. Murray of that city, on- the charge that she married him because be was a stepping stone toward the goal of her ambitions and more money, and because she furthermore had refused to live with him. Three years ago there was a sen satlon In society circles when Mabel married the wealthy Victor. Newspaperman's Daughter. Mabel is the daughter of the late Alexander Ray, one of the owners of the St. Louis (iInbe-Democrat. At 17 she grew tired of playing actress, so she ran away and got a good part in a real play in Chicago. Her mother ran after her and brought her hack home, but Mabel was not to lie balked. She ran away again. This tifne she came to New Y'ork. Came success and the marriage that now may he dissolved because of Mabel's ambitions. But Mabel will tell In this exclusive Jptervlew about her marriage to the wealthy, pleasure-loving, sweet hus band—and of her ambitions as she considers them—and what women want nowadays to be satisfied. Mabel Hard at Work. Mabel is hard at work back in the struggle. This is what she said today: “I had wished that the divorce take place quietly, but since I have seen in so many papers that my husband1 says I married him because he was a stepping stone, and that I wouldn’t stay in Cincinnati because it was a small town, 1 shall say a few things. "Hirst at all. I was a success when I married iny husband. I was a head liner in Keith's and I was booked with Joe Weber for the lepd in the ‘Blue Devil’ in the fall, a very sue cessful play, by the way. And I didn't want Hjy husband's money. I loved my husband. Wanted a Husband. “If I wanted anything definitely In my marriage—It was just a husband, and just a home and Just to have a family—my oWn relatives were all dead—and a place, a normal place in life with a husband working for me. Very naturaband normal all that. Isn’t It? And now I'm so sorry It didn't turn out. I'm so sorry about It. But now for the second thing I wanted to say. "I have always been fond of Cincin nati and loved to play there. I never disliked It or called it a small town. “And I want Just to mention how fine and delightful my husband's rela tives were to me. Mrs. Murray treat ed me as if I were her own child. She Is a wonderful woman. If I said anything about the Murray family, well, I would be pretty bad. I .Iked a Good Time. “And as for Vic, he Is a fine boy— I almost said an adorable boy, but I shouldn't use the word adorable about him, because I’m not speaking lightly. He loved to entertain and to ha^e a good time, but Vic Isn’t serious, lie doesn't work to amount to anything. He doesn't have to. Everything has been easy for him. But I don't care how fine a husband's family may be about money, it seems to me a husband should work and make money to take care of his wife. "I would never have left Vic If he bad given me a home of our own that belongs to. us I always wanted him to work and have some serious meaning In his life. “I api very ambitious. I have nl ways worked hard. And nowadays j a woman has to have something real, something that she Is doing or mak-1 Ing for herself. I couldn’t Just live ' without anything substantial In my, existence. Coming back to work for my living—coming l>ark into the Strug gle Is better than that. 1 Ilk* the struggle. But. then, too, I f«el It. I realize I am alone now. with no family -‘and famllle', are comforts. ___I Five Mothers Wheel Infants in London Babv Carriage Race Ry Prr*«.
