FLAPPERS SEEK MATURE MATES WASHINGTON, April 22—“ Whether It Is suffrage or some other Influence, it is a fact that the m acable young woman of today prefers to pick her future husband from among men of maturer age.” according to Captain Kroll, the capltol's marriage license clerk. "The psychology of the girl who contemplates marriage has experienced a decided change during the last two years," observed Cupid's official intermediary, who insisted that a girl these days has an eye to a safe future with comfort with a husband with good sense, even though older than herself, rather than a "life full of romantic uncertainty with a handsome youngster who maychange his mind over night and get a divorce the next morning." Colonel Kroll was not prepared to say whether this rather startling development in matrimonial .contemplations would be lasting or whether the principle of “like likes like” would again gan the upper hand. “It may be that the girls desire more Independence and It may be they think an older man can guarantee such a state with more facility than a young husband Just starting out In life. Young husbands as a rule arc also Jealous and wish to dominate over their brides, while men with more experience are more tolerant.” BEES NO DANGER OF WAR. HARTFORD CITY', Ind., April 22.

The strikers’ treasury is understood to be well nigh exhausted. MURDER SUSPECT TO BE RETURNED Man Held Here Wanted by Texas Officials. Charles E.

MANY YANKS IN BRITISH SCHOOLS John Bull’s Collects Attract Foreign Women. LONDON, April 22—A remarkable feature of next term at English universities will be the number of women students from abroad, and residents In university towns are now continually receiving requests to take in foreign guests. Ever since the war great numbers of women from Scnndinavin have attended lecture* nt Oxford. They soon will bo outnumbered by women students from the Fntted States who are anxious to enjoy the atmosphere of tho older universities. There Is no room In the residential colleges, which are refusing up to 50 per cent of the applicants, and most of these intellectual and already learned women do not desire a full three-years course. So they become home students, and their quality is so high and their zeal so great that it is becoming the duty of the universities to cater to them by special lectures. They are immensely popular, with their hosts ns well ns their fellow-students. "Their influence.” said a woman lecturer nt Oxford, "is of the best possible sort. They widen our outlook and vitalize our intellectual life.” “The United States women students at present here," said Ir. MncLean, of the American University Union. "are taking, chiefly, courses in history, literature, economics and social science. Os those subjects which can be studied better in England tiian America, history is one. because of the nrchives. shrines, records, art treasures and libraries which the older countries possess “A certain amount of exchange or students is taking place; some British girls hold travelling scholarships tenable at American universities.” ACCI SEP OF STEALING DRILL.
