In no department of tha college la mors
enthusiastic and been fid al work being
done than In the Toung Men's Christian
association. During the present college
year tha young men are making a study
of "IJfe Problems," a work prepared by
the International committee of the associa
tion. Naturally the association at tha col
lege is made up of the busiest young men
of the achool and time Is at a premium
with them. They are always alert. Be
sides the regular meetings, which consist
of Bible study on Saturday evenings In
conjunction with the Toung Women's
Christian association and the Sabbath

thereby engendering an Interest which
many times results In an affiliated Interest
or a desire to Join the association.

suggestions and more inspiration. Ths

circulation. Miss Alfred Claar, the faith
ful and efficient treasurer, recently re-
algned her office on account of leaving

ler was elected to fill the vacancy. A
series of topics were chosen to be discussed
at their meetings, as follows: "A Girl's
Idea of Womanhood." "Woman's Place In
the College World." "Days Off." 'Friend
ship of Women." "Uncrowned Women,
"W oman in Relation to Man," etc. It was
decided at their lat meeting that a meet
ing of ths cabinet would ba held on Mon
day night of each week, and at such time
that a prayer meeting be held and that
evangelistic work be made a feature of the
meetings. The traveling secretary Is kept
In touch with the association by a letter
telling of the work each month.

NEW TOHK. March iSpeclal Tele
gram.) "One of man's tasks Is to de
stroy monopoly, but woman la a born
monopolist," said Mrs. John Martin In an
address as part of the program for the
Saturday meeting of the Women's leaeue
for political education at the Hudson the
ater today.
Mr. Martin said that to the probable
"undue Influence which the American wo
men exert uion the male -of her spec es.
his extrsordtnary greediness Is In part
attributable. We hear of the man behind
the gun. She Is the woman behind the
graft.
"It was a woman whom 1 once heard say
when some one suggested that her huband
had secured more than his share of the
world's Kooda: 'His share; why his share
as I see it Is all ha ran get.'
"Msn'a next task Is to distribute Wo
man will hinder htra In that; her disposi
tion is lo hold fast. Man's taak Is to or-
ranlxe: she la unorganliable. She cannot
be regimented: she does not cohere. Yet
cohesion and co-ordination of society must
be effected. Man haa this much shead of
him."
Women opposing the suffrage movement
have organlxed and held an entertainment
each Saturday for the study of political
problema. At these entertainments one
or more lectures are given and musical
selections and tableaux make up the pro
gram. Mrs. Martin was more pronounced In
her opposition to the equal suffrage move
ment than any of the speskers have been.
"Most women," she said, "can stand a
great deal of letting alone on ths part
of other women. Most of them can not
stand a great deal of one another's
society."
Mrs. Martin says that women normally
need a great deal of quiet and solitude.
"Women," she said, "were ordained from
the foundation of ths world for the private
and Inner life. At their worst, they are
very narrow: at their best, they are very
sweet and very deep.
Now, there Is coming Into viewas the
world's next great dream, a hoped-for
science of eugenics, or what I have ven
tured to call auto-evolutlon. under which
mankind will n,o longer permit Itself to
be ths passive creature of eSvlronment.
but will lay hands upon Its own destiny.
By mastering the laws of heredity. It will
deliberately set about to design and to
achieve the production of a race as much
higher than ws are above the anthropoid
ape.
Negotiations were clos-d Saturday morn
ing by which the German Fire Insurance
company will be taken over by the Na
tional Assurance company of Hartford,
Conn.
It Is said the action was taken because
of the demands of the State Insurance
commission that It must straighten out
its business tangles.
It had been hoped by tne directors that
some aort of compromise might be reached
with the atate. This hope, however, was
discouraged by State Auditor Barton.
By the terms of 'the negotiations the
Hartford company in consideration, of the
reserve funds and securities of the com
pany actually on hand, agrees to take
over the business and reinsure the poli
cies. The German company stockholders
will realise from any salvage which may
be left after the expenses and commissions
are taken care of.
The Hartford company has announced
that it will put $25,000 of its own funds
Into the business at 'once.
