Mnrrlngcs Not Made for Pur
pose of Breeding Physicnlly
Perfect Animal Race of
Human Beings
INCLINATION TRUE TEXT
After all tho cugenlsts havo spun their
theories, follow your own inclinations and
marry tho ono of your choice.
This. In a nutshell, li the theory ot Ur
Snmuol C. Kohs, psychologist, author and
mender of human derelicts.
"Tho compelling dcslro for a mate, tho
longing that will not bo satlslled until a
cortnln girl or n. certain boy Is won,"
Doctor Kohs says, "Is tho beat known
test for matrimony so far as tho raco Is
concerned. Conscious reasoning may point
out tho faults of tho young woman to tho
man, or tho other way around; friends
may show each wherein the other Is tem
peramentally unllttcd to serve as a mate,
but In tho long run tho nonreasonlng de
sire that drlvos you to want Just ono per
son has a sound foundation."
Tho workshop of Doctor Kohs Is tho
Chlcngo House of Correction. Thero he
Is applying his talents to mending tho
slightly damaged mental engines of joiing
prisoners.
"I confess thnt tho Idea of mating hu
man beings with tho purposo of breeding
for points does not Impress mo favor
ably," ho continued. "Vo know some
thing of the results that mny be achieved
with horses nnd other animals, of tho
physical points that wo know are trans
mitted; but In dealing with human be
ings and tho mating problem wo havo
more than bodies and physical points to
consider. The physical and psychic tho
mental and moial aro so Interwoven that
wo must consider nil tho fnctors that go
to make up a human being as distin
guished from an nulmal before we aro
ready to say that this and that will re
sult from any marriage.
"The lives of men and women nro not
worked out by conscious reasoning. Wo
do and say things wo shnpo our lives
on impulses. We aio using the greater
and, I might be bold enough to say, tho
better part of our minds when wo net on
those Impulses. Those Impulses nro tho
co-ordinated experiences of ourselves and
perhnps of our race. Whatever we, as a
race or as Individuals, havo learned
mukes Its Impressions on our nerves and
brain. And the result Is reflex actions
that tend to profit by thoso experiences."
IRISH AGAINST CONSCRIPTION
Coercion Would Causo Revolution,
Says Visitor From London "Peo-
plo Will Never Submit"
Conscription ns a coercive measure by
tho British Government will causo a rev
olution In Ireland, In the opinion of
Adolph Braff, of London, who Is In this
city on business.
"The Irish peoplo will never submit
to couscilption," said Mr. Braff. "If tho
volunteer system Is continued, they will
enlist In about tho numbers they nro
doing now. Tlut tho English will nover
be able to force them to do military serv
ice. They would sooner revolt, and then
England would havo a fair-sized llttlo
argument to settle at home as well us
abroad.
"I saw In the newspapers tho other day
that Lord Derby's plan had lesulted In
3.000,000 or 4,000,000 men enlisting. It seems
that the problem has been solved and
conscription will not have to be resorted
to. It Is a great triumph for the British
Government, for I bellevo If conscription
had been adopted a revolt would have
spread through Ireland like Are In a few
days."
Mr. Braff Is stopping at tho Bellejvue
Stratford. He has relatives In nusslu, of
whom he has not heard since tho war
started, almost a year and a half ago.
Ho has not seen his brother, Dr. Ernest
Braff, or his two cousins, all with the
Russian army, since June. 19H. Mr. Braff
said that his case was similar to that of
many others who have relatives In the
warring countries who do not expect to
hear from them until tho strife Is over.
CHICAGO DOCTORS CONDEMN
COLLEAGUE WHO LET BABY DIE
Dismissal From Medical Society Rec
ommended at Meeting
CHICAGO. Dec. 15. The council of the
Chicago Medical Society, In a finding
made public last night, recommended to
the society that Dr. H. J. Halselden. who
advised against operating on the Bollin
ger 4aby, bo expelled from the society.
The Bollinger baby was born. In the
opinion of Doctor Halselden. with every
prospect, If the faint life In It persisted,
of developing Into a hopeless Invalid and
Imbecile.
The report of the committee bases Its
recommendation on the fact that Doctor
Halselden permitted to be published over
his name in a dally newspaper a serial
account of the baby's case and because
the case had been exploited in moving
picture shows.
Prize Fighter's Pa Held as Annoyer
Thomas Tully, E6 years old, of HH
North Fratier street, father of John
Tully. a prize fighter known as "Jimmy
Murphy," was held under $300 bail to

put out of the house by his father and
that he took him In his own home and

the youth attained success he said the
father annoyed him continually.

MRS. DATESMAN
TAKES REAL PRIDE
IN HUSBAND'S WORK
Wife of the Prospective Director
a Helpmeet of Practical
Ideas and Large
Intelligence
HER SHARE IN HIS SUCCES
,Thl l the third nf it rrlf of Inter
view nllh the ttlren of the men nrlected
V. .'yor-elecl Smith to compose hM
Cabinet.
A onc-mlnuto chat with Mrs. George E.
Datesman, tho wife of tho next Director
of Public Works will find you completely
won by her womanliness and nbioluto
naturalness.
Whether tho topic of conversation veers
from rucIi discussions ns tho really big
thing to bo accomplished (or nearly so)
during tho next administration by tho
department, of which her husband has
been mndo director, namely tho erection
of sowerago disposal plants, or the rensons
for the claim thnt he Is tho ono mini In
tho whole country best fitted to officiate
to the city's best Interests na head of
tho Department of Public Works, to a
chat about thlngi fomlnlno nnd personal,
such ns the fnct that not only Is she tho
mother of three grown daughters, but a
grandmother, It Is patent that sho Ib tho
typo of woman who combines the pleasing
qualities that mako her tho Ideal mate
and mother.
PIUDE IN HUSBAND'S WOIIK.
Mrs. Datesman claims some of the
credit for tho unqualified business success
nttnincd by her huabnnd In his mnny long
years of Bervlco with the city of Phila
delphia. Sho does It modestly, explaining
that It had been her fear that If ho
weren't prodded on, hlq lack of sclf
nsscrtlvenesa would result In his "hiding
his light under a bushel."
"Of course." she ndded reflectively, "I
realized that ability such ns Mr. Dates
man possesses must be recognized In time,
and I must confess I was surprised that
happened just now. Toil see my husband
has novor gone In for politics; ho doesn't
know n whole lot moro about It than
Son hero," pointing to a rollicking cnnlno
pot, who pricked up his cars as his namo
wns mentioned.
Sho placed her finger on tho rent "open
sesamo" to tho secret of her husband's
unusual progress In his profession when
sho told of the yeara In which ho hns
made It n point to nrlso at G o'clock and
dovoto tho before-breakfast hours to
spcclullzlng in cortnln studies connected
with hla engineering work.
"For Instnncc," aho explained, "ho hns
been specializing for n very long while
on the best nnd most npproved methods
ot sewage disposal, consulting nt times
wtlh New York's engineers to get their
ldcns on this problem. He Is und has
been simply wrapped up In his work."
"Wc have n pet expression nbout fa
ther in tho family," she continued, "l'oii
see, ho nevur docs anything except for
one of three reasons God, his fnmlly or
tho city of Philadelphia. It has finally
resolved Itself Into a family Joke. 'Well,
fnt her. who are you doing thla for vour
family or tho city of Philadelphia?" "
FOB CHEAPER COST OF LIVING.
Llko every other housewife Mrs. Dates
man Is Interested In reducing (to pulp
If such a thing wore only possible) that
monster, tho "high cost of living." Sho
admitted tho RO-cent gas rato would help
evon moro than "some," but didn't know
whether any inch blessed relief wilt ba
one of the outcomes of a new Director
of Public Works or not
Mrs. Datesman also has an eye for
things artistic, and agreed that the pres
ent condition of the Parkway ii an eyo
sore. Sho believes that this will be one
of tho first things rectified by tho new
department, however.
Much ns thla matron was Interested 1 1
talking of things which concerned her
husband's work she was equally pleased
to discuss her family and her home. Sho
Is nn exnmplo of that wise typo of
woman whom tho noted suffraglit, Dr.
Anna Howard Shaw, meant when she
said, "I believe not so much In mother
lovo as mother Intelligence."
MOTHER AND CHILDREN.
Sho seemed to demonstrate this In her
remark: "I have made It a point, since
my children were small, to keep abreast
of them In everything they did. Yes,
oven to the dress question. I havo gone
na much socially, dressed as well nnd
well" she finished laughingly "I havo
never let them get nhend of me In any
thing they did. I don't consider It wise
nor right for a mother to efface herself
for her children."
Mrs. Dulesman's two eldest daughters
aro married. They are Mrs. C. Elmer
Townsend, of IJarrlsburg, and Mrs. ftewls
Howell, 3d. of this city, the latter's bus
band Is secretary of the Franklin Trust
Company.
Tho youngest daughter, Marlon, lives
at home, and for a 20-year-old miss seems
to havo beauty cornered pretty well.
The Datesman home Is located at B319
Wayne avenue, Germantown.

ONE YEAR FOR CHICKEN THIEF
Severe Sentence Imposed by Recently
Elected Magistrate
A one-year sentenco for stealing chick
ens was Imposed upon n prisoner today
by George Price, recently elected Magis
trate. This Is ono of tho most severe
pcnnltlea exacted for that offense In this
city In many years.
Tho man Is John McEnory. 31 years
old, who gave his uddrcs3 as 3C1I Calu
met street. On tho night of November 23
several fowls wero Btoleu from tho ynrd
of Mrs. M. Igoe, of 40,'iS Itldgo nvenue.
McEnery wns seen by Patrolman Forney,
of tho RIdgo and Mldvalo avenues sta
tion, with a bag filled with chickens In
the neighborhood.
Forney arrested the man after a strug
gle, In which tho policeman received a
black eye nnd tho prisoner a broken
ankle. McEnery has neen In St. Timo
thy's Hospital slnco tlmt night suffering
from tho effects of tha light.
When tho physicians pronounced him
well today he was taken to tho police
station. Mrs. Igoe refused to prosecute,
but when several district detectives tes
tified that he was a disorderly character
nnd frequently Intoxicated ho wns sen
tenced. Ho will serve the Bentenco In the

BACK TO THE FARM
FOR LADY EGLANTINE,
THE CHAMPION HEN
Bird Valued at $100,000 Tires
of the Bright Lights and
Longs for the Barn
yard SHE'S A RECORD-BREAKER
No moro will the bright llghti of the
city dazzle tho eyes of Lady Eglantine,
world's champion rgg-laylng hen, after
the Poultry Show hero closes Saturday
night. The $100,000 hen Is tired of Broad
way, of life nt awcll hotels, of travel In
Pullman cars. Sho Is going homo to Eg
lantine Farms, nt Greensboro, Md., and
thero In the peace and quiet of the barn
ynrd she will end her days.
That end Is not likely to como for a
long time, for the bird la only 11 months
old It Is believed thnt bIio should live
to bo 6 years old nt least. And for ench
year of life, nccordlng to rough esti
mates, she will be worth $30,000 a year
to her owner, A. A. Christian, of this
city. To be on tho safe aide, to guard
against accident to the valunblo hen, It
has been decided that aho shall retire for
all tlmo from tho poultry bIiow circuit.
In the seclusion of Hglatitlne Farms
her ladyship will acttlo down to her old
life, to tho 11 fo alio wns leading when
sho made tho world's record of 314 eggs
In 365 days. Perhnpi sho will try to
break even that wonderful record, for
the making of which sho hns become
famous.
Just now r.ady Eglantine lives nt tho
Hotel Wnlton. Sho hns a splendid apart
ment there, such as Is given to few till
mnns to dwoll In. Every day sho goes
to nnd from the Metropolitan Iluttdlng,
whero tho poultry show Is being held. In
a tnxlcnb. Sho Is conatnntly attended by
Frank Vndakln, head poultryman on Eg
lantlno Fnrms. She Is tho centro of In
terest everywhere sho goes. Nevertheless,
she la tlrM of It all.
I.ady Eglnntlno has not been ncqualnted
long with tho bright lights. It Is a new
thing to her, but lt has not Interested
her. Before she enmo hero for the show
sho wns In New York, on exhibition nt
tho poultry ahow there. This Is really
her llrst venturo out Into tho world, and
lt Is to be her Inst.
In the Metropolitan Building aho it
housed in a large coop In tho centre of
tho floor. Mr. Vndakln Is alwajs nt her
side. Two stnckn of eggs nro piled In
front of the cage. Thero nro ,0 eggs In
one pile, showing the number laid by
tho average lion each year. In tho othor
pile nro 3H eggs, showing the number laid
4by Lady Eglantine. The champion hen
cannot read tho signs which point out
tho meaning of tho symbol, but she
knows Just tho same that aho has reason
to bo proud. Sho Is not so proud, how
ever, that sho will not consent to an In
terview. Sho nddrcsied tho Interviewer In hen
language, with Mr. Vndakln ns Inter
preter. "There Is nothing In the white lights,"
sho said. "I havo been out in society
but a short time, but I am tired of It.
It Is a superficial kind of existence a
chase after tho unattainable. The place
of evry dutiful hen la In the home. I
am going back to tha furm.
"I hno receivea several flattering vau
deville offers, but I have decided to de
cline all of them f must return to my
work. It Is my business to Iny eggs, to
raise my family. It Is Impossible to go
barnstorming about the country and do
ones duty nt tlio same time. 1 nm gieut
ly Interested In my work, nnd I'm train
ing rigidly In the hope thnt I may bo
able to break even the record I hne
made, which lomo of my ndmlrers have
been pleased to sav was quite wonderful.
"I want to go bock to the faun. I'm
going, too!"
Sho Is going back all right. While on
the road Lady Eglantlno Is not a prolific
egg-layer, and her eggs nro valuable.
The housekeeper who thinks eggs nt
CO cents a dozen are expenstvo should
read tho price lists of Eglantlno
Farms. Hatching eggs from tho pen
In which lJuly Eglantine was hatched
sell 15 eggs for J20, or $1.3.1 an egg.
In this batch of 16 will bn found one
marked egg from Lady Eglantine her
self I.ady Eglantine Is not a beautiful
bird. Although a pure breed of AVhlte
Leghorn, she Is quite common In ap
pearance, nnd by no means of Inrge
stature. But she does not mind thnt.
She mukes up In usefulness what she
lacks In beauty. Sho Ib Indeed, ns she
said one day to Mr. Vndakln, the bird
that put tho egg In Eglantine.
