POOR, BUT AMBITIOUS Figures Show That Professional Men on “Niggardly Salaries” Send More Ohildren to Colleke. Holyoke, Mass., April 23.—Profes- sional men, despite their proverbial niggardly salaries, predominate in sending their daughters to college. Figures made public today from a cepsus conducted by Mount Holyoke college show that although slightly more than three percent of the en- tire male population of the country are professional men, yet thirty- three and eight-tenths per cent of the students there registered their fath- ers as professional men. While the professional men are most interested in sending their daughters to college, the farmers are least interested, the census showed. Thirty-six percent of the men in the country are engaged in agriculure, but only eight per &ent of the girls in college come from the farms. Next to the professional men, the tradesmen are most interested in edn- | cating their daughters. Ten percent | of the male population are in trades, vet twenty-four percent of the Mount Holyoke students have tradesmen fathers. Phoenix Mutual Life In-| —International D. A. R. ELINCTION.

Man Finds Report Is True Melilla, Morocco, April 18, (By the | Associated Press)—Slavery and trad- ing in slaves still flourish in the un- conquered districts of both, the y French and Spanish zones of Moroc- |co. There have been stories that | some of the slaves are white people but these reports are not borne out | by inquiry. Threats by the turbulent Moors of | the Riff coast to sell into slavery a Spanish sailor boy, Francisco Sallud, unless his father with whom he had been wrecked and captured paid a | ransom of 4,000 pesetas, led The As- sociated Press correspondent to make an inquiry into the auestion of the existence of enslaved white people in northern Africa. The result of his inquiries shows that of recemt years instances of white” people being sold into slavery "have'been very rare, but there are slave markets for the sale and pur- ‘chase of colored people in the dis- | tricts to which French or Spanish rule have not reached.: . The traffic varies according to the , economic situation or the tribesmen who, when they are in funds, do not hesitate to give high prices for slaves to be used as servants Slaves so pur- chased become personal property of the family into which .they are bought and ane disposed of by testa.- ment when the proprietor dies. However, it is customary for the ‘purchaser to make a formjal agree- ment before a competent degal au- thority to grant his slnvegls liberty on his master’s ’death’. en the ! heirs have to give . up all elaim and at the same time to allow the liber- ;ated slave to Ilve.on . and. cultivate ! any portion of his dead master’s land i which may have been.left to him as ione of the family. The One True Test The one sure way to determine actual motor car value is by a thorough, exhaustive demonstration. In the show room, you can tell at a glance whether a car satisfies your artistic demands. The next step, then, is to get out on the road and discover what lies under the hood. first. Then i r ! REIMER IS BEATEN. ‘ Local Boy Loses Decision to Williams N —Sweency Scores Kayo. ! Bobby Reimer, the popular local boxer, lost the referee’s decision in a 10-round bout with Irish Kid Wil- liams last night at Chicopee, Mass. Bill Sweeney, another New Britain favorite came through in fine style in the bout with Chick Allen, rocking his opponent to sleep in the fourth Bill put up_one of his best bguts in_ recent months. o At Worcester, Mass.,, last night’ Johnny Shugrue of Waterbury, lost a bout to Jimmy Sacco of Boston in the third round on a foul after beat- ing his opponent all the way. |~ A slave-owner may give his slave | .a wife from among his other slaves { bought in the same way and the chil- , dren of these marriages become slaves | of the same owner unless he has signed the agreement already men- tioned in connection with their par- ents. . The prices paid for slaves vary con- siderably. Generally the age is the chief consideration but, girl slaves, beauty calls for .the highest prices. Seven hundred and fifty pesetas (about $100 at the present rate of ex- change) is about the maximum fig- ure ever paid—and this only in the case of a very young and handsome girl. Should the human merchandise have passed the age of 35 or 40, the price paid is around about 400 pese- tas, never more. | All purchases are made condition- ally on the slaves proving satisfactory. , A close examination is made of the ! slave’s mouth to see whether he or she possesses a complete set of teeth. Proofs are required that the slave is neither weaksighted nor deaf and dumb, while limbs are tested and muscles tried add every part of the body subjected to minute inspection in order to discover physical de- fects. For women slaves three days’ trial of their domestic aptitudes is demand- ed before the purchase is completed. Such are the conditions of the slave trade in Morocco at the present day, and this is the fate from which Francisco Sallud escaped, probably by the payment of oart of the ransom demanded, although exact informa- tion as to the transaction is unavail- able.
