Hetrter Wolf, Flaherty Heir and
Beneficiary, Receives Word
of Good Fortune
WILL KEEP ON WORKING
A. 'substantial Christmas gift cnme to
Homer "Wolf, a butcher of Fifty-fifth
and Spruce stmts, and eleven other
relatives of James P. Flaherty, nn At
lantic City botelkccper, who died leav
ing an estate worth $900,000.
Mr. Flaherty was a former polico
lieutenant of this city and entered the
hotel business many years ago after
leaving the police department. Ho died
February 10, 1010. His direct rela
tives were named as beneficiaries by
itf. Flaherty, and although the will
was contested by a sister of the testa
tor's second wife. Mr. Flaherty's rela
tives won. A ruling in their favor was
iHrnn vMtprrtnr hv .Tudee Robert H.
I Ingersoll, of the Atlantic City Probate
J Court.
t , Will Stick io Meat Business
Mt t "l received worn oi mo uequi-st uy
wire Wis morning, saiu iur. moii, a
nephew of the testator, "and it looks
S as though the share of each beneficiary
$ would be near $100,000. I am going to
' remain right in the meat business and
am not making any changes on account
J of the bequest. It comes us a good
i Christmas present."
Wolf's wife, Mrs. Bessio Wolf, was
also named as one of the beneficiaries.
I W. M. Cashin, C205 Catharine street,
another nephew of Flaherty, u ho was
sained among the beneficiaries, said to
day be had not received official word
of any bequest. "It will come as a
. good Christmas gift when I get It." he
said, "but I had better not say any
5 thing about it until I am sure."
i Revoked Old Will
i Some years ago the testator made a
J will in favor of his second wife, cut-
bequests. Two years ago Sirs. Flaherty
died. Subsequently Mr. Flaherty signed
I a revocation of the instrument by which
he had bequeathed the bulk of his estate
fr to 'the second Mrs. Flaherty and cx-
pressed a desire that his wealth be ap
f portioned among his direct relatives in
) accordance with the inheritance laws of
New Jersey.
East June Miss Catherine H. Merry.
a sister of Mrs. Flaherty, discovered the
original will and halted measures for
the distribution among relatives. In
the contest that succeeded the docu
' went became known as the lost Fla
, herty will.
' Wife's Kin Overruled
Judge Ingersoll overruled the conten
tion of the relatives of Mrs. Flaherty
, that the testator was mentally un
! sound when he executed the revocation
In addition to Mr. and Mrs. Wolf
and Mr. Cashin, other relatives who

MISS HELEN TAFT DEFENDS
WOMEN COLLEGES OF TODAY
With Dean Ada L. Comstock, of Smith College, TaJccs Excep
tion to Criticisms Made by Dr. Mabel Robinson
A RE women's colleges out of date?
" Miss Helen Taft, acting president
of Bryn Mawr, and Dean Ada h. Com
stock, of Smith College, take exception
to the ideas and criticisms put forth in
a report by Dr. Mabel LouIko Robinson
In the bulletin published by the Federal
Bureau of Education attacking the cur
riculum of women's colleges.
Doctor Robinson takes the stand that
the colleges do not prepare students for
their after life, have fniled to keep pace
with the times ntul do not provide voca
tional training.
"I know that thcro is at present a
tendency toward vocational training,"
says Miss Taft, "and we have depart
ments of education and sociology. But
cen in sociology it is necessary for a
student to take a year of post-graduate
work before she can become a trained
social worker.
No Time for Practical Training
"We think thnt it is not possible to
give practical training together with
the nmount of fundamental tralnlug and
cultural study tbat we want to give the
students nt Hryn Mawr."
Doctor Robinson cited as examples of
the lack of vocational training that
fewer women were entering the profes
sion of teaching, the one field which
was formerly the natural outlet for col
lege students. Miss Taft nnd Doctor
Comstock agree that the reason for a
falling off In this field is not the lack
of training but the lack of sufficient
compensation
"Doctor Robinson's charge that the
women's colleges make nlmost" no at
tempt to correlate a student's studies
with her fiitme enrcer Is a statement
which was obviously framed without
access to all the facts," said Dean Corn
stock. "She lias drawn a picture of
the women's college In which one is led
to see the student body confining Itself
almost whollv to the so-called cultural
subjects, nnd being deprived of nn op
portunity for Instruction in any branch
of learning which may prove of practi
cal benefit In after years. This picture,
as far as Smith College is concerned,
at least, is untrue
"Without attempting to give a com-

Best of aLl-
plete analysis of the curriculum I wish
merely to point out that Smith College
offers Instruction In architectural de
sign, landscape-gardening, horticulture,
chemistry, economics, government, so
ciology, education, modern drama, mod
ern languages, geology, hygiene, psy
chology and mental hgtenc. No college
turns out lawyers or doctors, or is ex
pected to do so. Professional training
Is the provlnco of the professional
school. The studies named, however,
direct Interest along professional lines
and nfford preparation for professional
study.
"I am a litlo surprised that tho gov-
As It now stands,
this nay is prohibitive, nnd no woman
ernment hiirtnii nhntiltl tnko UD tho
teaching situation without mentioning
the low rate of pay
. -... .-. - , ,
can be expected to take it wncn nno
can do better In other fields of work.
It Is largely for the purpose of nllcviat
ing this grievous situation, by tho way
that Smith's alumnae are now seeking
to raise a new endowment fund of
$4,000,000."
Bryn Mnwr is also having a campaign
for $2,000,000 to bo used to increase
the salaries of tho faculty which have
continued at the present figures since
before the war.

One of the important things to con
sider when buying a talking-machine is
how long will it last? That is why it
is well to know who makes it and what
assurance you have that it will give you
the service you demand.

it is not only a delight to you, but it
wili always continue to afford you the
greatest musical satisfaction.
Every part of every Victrola is made
complete in the Victor factories. It is
the only talking-machine made in its
entirety by one concern, which is re
sponsible for every part.
The Victrola is a purchase that will
last a lifetime j a permanent addition to
your home; a source of pleasure not
