Family Should Come Before
Career, Woman Buyer. Says
- ■■ ■. . ■ \
Miss Alma Myers, United States District Attorney,
Declares Raising of Children and Making Happy
Homes Should Be Main Objective—Time
to Seek Profession Afterwards.
i
n> I nicriuit hi mil New* Service.
San Francisco, April 15.—A woman
should raise a family before she en
ters upon a profession—and the world
will be better off if she mnkes the
home her profession.
This belief was expressed by Miss
Alma M. Myers, who holds the dis
tinction of being tlie youngest woman
in the United States to hold the po
sition of assistant United States at
torney.
Despite the fact that she has won
success in the legal profession. Miss
Myers is not a believer in feminist
domination of industry and the pro
fessions.
However, if a woman desires a ca
reer, she believes the best time for
her to win success is at the age of
45 or 50, after she has successfully
raised a family.
Home Should lie Main Object.
“The field for women is in the
home." she told the interviewer.
'When the present craze for careers
for women dies down, the world will
be better off. The raising of children
and the making of happy homes
should lie the main objective of
women. The management cf a home
res all the intelligence a woman
can bring to bear upon it. When the
children arc raised, then is the proper
time for branching out into club
Work, professions and other activi
ties.
"Until a woman has raised a family
she has not reached the full rounded
maturity of knowledge which she
should bring to a career. I, for in
stance, am one of a family of eight.
When a woman has the confidences
of eight children, as my mother has
had—has watched and moulded their
mental and physical development over
a period of years—then and only then
Is she a success. Women should study
even after they marry and keep
abreast of the intellectual develop
ment of both the husband and the
children who are in school.
Woman Not Old at 50*
"A woman is not old at 4.'i or 50,
measured by the time at which many
men attain success. Hut those who
give up family life for professions
leave the best for the dross."
Miss Myers laid I he blame for child
delinquency squarely onihe shoulders
of incompetent mothers.
"When children go wrong, the
mother is to blame," she declared.
"If the proper training had been given
from the time the child was a baby
in the arms, it would hdve had the
moral courage necessary In overcom
ing evil temptations "
The public schools have far too few
male teachers, the young federal
prosecutor declared. Where women
predominate In the schools, as they
do at the present time, she said, the
male children tend to become femin
ized.

brokers and dealers in sugars, paying
particular attentio n to the names and
addresses of buyers of large sugar
contracts. The inquiry' has been car
ried on quietly and was known only
to the firms concerned and their cus
tomers whose permission was asked,
in most cases, IxjJora their names
were disclosed to the government
agents. The greatest secrecy has
heen observed by the government and
no clue to the nature of scope of the
investigation had been obtained un
til today.
The inquiry has been broadened
to include all transactions in sugar
ir. the first quarter of 1923>ard the
• ntire list of brokers of the New
York enffee and sugar exchange re
ceived letters from David A. L’Ksher
once, special assistant to Attorney
General Daugherty, requesting de
tailed information of all transactions
during that period as promptly as
possible.
The letters also expressed Hie de
sire of the government's investi
gators to have the names and ad
dresses of the customers of the firms
addressed. There was no hint of
compulsion In the letters.
While the sugar b. kers were dls

a^V -Notes New Move
i. .it by Young People.
"Whenever doctrines for .religious
customs cannot be Interpreted to hold
the interest of youth, the end of
those doctrines and customs Is In
eight," said Itev. Dr. William E.
Gardner, whose annual address at the
conference of . durational leaders of
the Episcopal church in this city last
week resulted in a series of striking
resolutions on unshackling religious
thought, In a sermon on "The Youth
Movement In the Ghurch,” at All
Saints Episcopal church yesterday
morning.
"If they have no vital truth they
become side eddies In the stream of
human interest,” I)r. Gardner con
tinued. "If they, have vital truth,
youth finds it niyl clothes it in new
phrases and figures and stories, and
makes it an asset in human endeavor.
"I believe we stand today in the
presence of .me of the great youth
movements of history. But some of
us don’t realize it. We have lived
out our time, we look about us and
the morals and manners of the young
people shock us. We talk about "the
moral breakdown of youth.” All this
is but the repetition of history. The
youth movement is in every nation.
Youth Demands CImnre.
"It springs from the avowal of the
young people that the church should
give boys and girls a chance to talk
together, work together and play
together.
"Among the reasons for this spon
taneous turning of youth toward the
chureh T place first the problems rais
ed by the newr ideals of equality, and
especially equality of the sexes. Boys
and girls today are facing a dawning
age when equality as a political and
social theory Is being tried as never
before. In many cases they are earn
ing the same amount of money and if
not. tho girl, if she has any pride,
thinks she should earn as much as
the boy.
“Marriage to some doe* not mean
that the woman must change her
point of view, her interests or habits,
or even give up her work: all these
she takes along with her Into her
married life. Diving together means
adjustments, shrewd and sometimes
delightful bargains in which each
looks upon the other as possessed of
rights which must be recognized."
Vote I* Responsibility.
“The responsibility of voting causes
the girl to test the opinions of the
boy witih quinsies 1 questions. On the
i.iber hjii.i, me b* has ». sen . of s
new responsibility that in some way
he must help the girls to do trfU poli
tical job which has been given them.
These boys and girls see the married
woman in the office, they read of the
events of the divorce courts, they
see the growing power of woman in
the state and in a subtle way they
feel that tbe whole problem of the
i quality of tho sexes i* their problem.
Naturally they look around for con
ditions where they can meet and talk
and work and nlay together. The
church offers one of these conditions
l ot it does more. It offers ideals of
right relationship between humans,
regardless of sex."
Tim youth movement in the chureh.
Dr. Gardner declared. Intend* to re
store some of the Joy and rheerfulness
that have tieen taken out of Chris
tianity. "Most Christians all over the
world, and especially if they come
from Sew Kngland, have a conscien
tlous feeling that unless goodness 1*
accompanied by a due amount of
discomfort it is not goodness. The
youth of the day has repudiated this
idea.." he said. He dwelt upon the
importance of the athletic movement
among the y outh of today and of the
large part that clean healthy amuse
ment la playing in the youth move- '
ment in the church.
Modernism Plays Part.
Turning to another phsaa of the
movement. In. Oardner ^scribed as
a third firtor In the movenient
"the unfettering of religious knowl
edge'’ "In groups of clergymen and
students.” he said. “this la railed
modernism With the ordinary boy
and girl today there Is ceaseless In- ,
ward questioning about everything,
and religion does not escape. The
youth of today has added to the
child's natural curiosity the Inquisi
tive habit.
“The ways of thinking on the Bible
and religion are unfettered snd there
are signs that we shall have a ruah
like that of the go’d mining days, of
youthful Intellect toward the moat
fruitful and least known field of
human thought, the field of religion.
To say that young men and women
between 16 and S5 are not Interested
in religion Is to b> blind lo ships that
carry the finest signal of hope. They
muy n»t la* Interested In your religion
or mine, hut they are deeply Interest- >
ed in the religion needed by their own
<The genius of religion Is that
It must he conserved and pussed on
to the next generation. The genius
of youth Is that It must adapt thnt
religion to Its own needs, If there Is
to be growth in truth.
“Boys and glita today, yes. even the
flupper* wnnt lo lie right: boys and
girls turn to ths church heesuas they
believe that It |s a tower for right.
The turning of youth toward the
church, the seeking of Its methods of
power for right, are creating a second
reformation In religious thinking.'’

New York, April 13—A bootlegger*'
luattle. in wh eh the entire crew of a
big two-mastsd schooner was prob
ably slain, and a sizeable cargo of
rum pirated, is an explanation of the
remains of the mysterious ship dis
covered today.
The schooner, abandoned with it*
sails set and its anchor* out, was
found two miles southeast of Wlijat
l.ng Buoy, off Point Ou’lct. and
hoard*-d by Cap!. J. M. Ryan, of the
L'nited States coast guard cutter
Manhattan.
Capte'n Ryan found The deck of the
schooner strewn with evidences of a
terrific battle. Hundreds of empty
i aftrldges gave testimony of the bat
tie which had raged aboard.
It is believed that every man
aboard the schooner when it was at
tacked was killed.
Indications were plentiful that the
boat had lieen engaged In the rum
running industry between Nova
Scotia. Nassau, Cuba and New York
and the New Jersey coast, but no

ileek was found lashed an egeep- on

No Trace of t row.
On the stern of the schooner *s*
the original name, Edith Helen Bush,
with no port of sail discernible. Ov»r
this waa painted "Patricia Behan."
Lloyd's register fails to list this name.
The nearest approach to it !« the

November 17. for Nassau and has not

In the captain's cabin on the table

Scattered about the floor of the

whisky smuggling enterprise in which
the schooner was engaged
There was a memorandum relating
to the sale of S i*1t noses of whisky to

wss nothing to show whether this
was the name of a man or a boat.
There were also scribled details of
other transactions, the last entry’ be

Captain Ryan ordered several of
his crew aboard the mysterious
schooner and had It taken to the
barge office at the Battery, where
there was considerable speculation
among customs men and seamen as
to the fate of its crew.
One conclusion drawn from the so
pea-anoe of the craft is that it fell
in'with the rum pirates known t' he
active along the coast and that the
crew w»r# slain in a battle
There was no mark on deck which
would show that the schooner carried
a boat other than the motor boat. It
was also declared by saitm that to
