Il Corinthians 10:7. Womeri and New Marriage Laws AT its coming session th© Indiana Legislature will be asked to enact a new law regulaUng marriage and divorce which it is proposed to have adopted by all other States and finaìly by Congress. If such a measure succeeds, as it should, a legai reform long discussed and badly needed will have been accomplished. At present marriage and divorce practices which are legalized by some States are regarded as crimes In others. Seventeen States fix no definite age at which young persons are considered mature enough to marry with thè consent of parente. In Kentucky and Louisiana a girl of twelve and a boy of fourteen mav legali y marry. In nine States thè common low ages ,bf twelve for girls and fourteen for bovs have been formally recognized. The age requirements in other States differ considerablv. Only fifteen States forhld marriage of persons of different race. Nineteen States have.no law restraining thè feeble-minded from manrylng. New Hampshire permits divorce on some fourteen grounds. In Kentucky it is possible to divorce a mate who has an ungovernable temper or who has joined a sect which disavows marriage. also on any of nine other grounds. But New York permits divorce on one ground only and South Carolina laws provide for no divorce whatever. If additional instances showing thè need of some national uniform marriage and divorce law were needed thè llst of confusing differences existing as between States might be lengthened indeflnitelyl The measure which it is proposed Indiana shali have as a law has been drafted by Mrs. Edward White, deputy attorney generai of Indiana. It Is thè women of thè country who have been most active in urging uniformity in such laws. The General Federation of Women’s Clubs of America in convention last summer declared for a “national uniform marriage and divorce law which shall prevent hasty and ill-considered mar riages, preclude interstate confusion, and insure r proper justice to all members of thè famlly when di vorce becomes necessary.” The League of Women Voters and various other organizations of women have adopted similar resolutions. It would seem that thè women folk are about to succeed in putting aerosa this important piece of na tionai legislation which men have for years exhausted themselves in merely talking about
A Bigger City HALF a million population for Indianapolis is by no means a hazy, indefinite thing. The other da> thè Indianapolis Reai Estate Board were told b> Charles A. Cora, head of thè department of engineering of thè Bell Telephone Company that hls company is deflnitely preparing for a city of that slze wlthin thè next elghteen years. Less than fifty years ago venison was displayed for sale on trees in what is now thè downtown business dlstrìct of Indianapolis. Photographs stili preserved show that thè business streets of thè city in those davs were no place to walk in wet weather unequipped with stilts. It was only thirty-four years ago that thè driving of cattle through thè busiest section of Washington St was stopped. Too bad that we can not obtain photographs of Indianapolis as it will be thirty to forty years in thè future as well as that far back in thè past It is dlfficult for thè imaglnatlon to visualize what a city of 750,000 inhabitants on thè White River would look like. Yet judging by thè rate of steady growth in thè past such a city is easily possible within thè ltfetime of middle aged persons now living. But it really does not matter so much how large Indianapolis will be eighteen to forty yeare from now„ Lise will be no happier for any of ua if there are merely more of us. What will count most will be thè citv’s advance along educational, industriai and cultural liues. Greater size is not so desirable for thè city unless it brlngs with it greater opportunlty and rlches and fuller lite.
Short Men JACK JOHNSON, thè prlze flghter. testine In a legai hearing In New York th&t he la “always afrald of a smaller man." Johnson savs a big man never wonies hlm, but that mali men are more dangerous than big men because they are more cunnlng. “They can run around your lega qulcker,” lamenta Jack. Boxing fans can elaborate thla lnto a discusslon of thè relative importance of welght and punch, compared with “leg work" and speed in generai. All of us can apply thè Idea to everyday life —thè man of quick decision and swlft action beating thè man of big standing, much Influence and great power. Most of us, if we had to face Jack Johnson in a fight, would rather be eight feet tali and tip thè scales at 250 pounds, instead of thè small man who annoys him. Neverthfcless, Jack’s views should increase thè selfconfidence of thè gentlemen who have to stand on tiptoes in a crowd to see thè girl demonstrator In thè drug sto re window. The secondary Importance of elz© or strength has been recognized by thè phllosophera slnce before Socrates. Napoleon, “thè LITTLE Corporal ” was short. And you know how an elephant ls terrifled by a mouse. Size and strength are secondary to speed and brain power. Ard, of all human forces, brain power is thè mlghtlesL Charles Darwin, one of thè most powerful men that ever lived, was a physica! weakling, spending all but a few hours a day in bed during his most creative perlod. A child of 15 could have knocked Darwin through thè ropes He couldn*t carry a pali of water a block without collapsing. Yet Darwin exerted a greater power than all thè prlze fighters that ever Uved. Foolish young men, vainly boasting. “Feel my musole,” will realize later In lise that what really counts is brain. not brawn. The truly wise man wtll develop both brain and brawn. Together they make an unbeatable team. Letters to thè Editor^ WHY DO LADIES KILL? ttost Honorable Editor, Times Newspaper: While 1 am but a poor Japanese School Boy, and
are not affluent with great wisdom, my head are burst with many thought. Why are Ladies kill so many Honorable Husbands? Such question is ask on many corner and is subject of debate at Large gathering. History all teach that many years ago, when all reside in cave, and much violence was abroad in land, when Honorable Husband must go to work with club In hand that beautiful Lily Flower animai which he cali wife are hid far back in cave, and are so tremble with fear that no gossip are indulge in with cave wife in abode which are next to her, and when Honorable Husband become intoxicate from chewlng of Bratle Nut bush and would with malignane© pound Lily Flower wife with club, She would carefuly submlt with much joyfulness to thumping. And why I repete, why? because all husband are alike only some thump harder than others. But when Honorable Husband take massive club and go abroad in land and dash brains out of many head, when aster many years Honorable Cave Husband are subdue from promiscuo us beating—then Lily Flower Wife come forth and explain, “now since you have conquer World that I shall have no fear I shall demand half. Now since World are safe for Democrats I shall be Democrat.” And when Honorable Husband ofTers demurage Lily Flower takes pistol gun and scatters Honorable Husband’s brains about. For She shall teli thè Honorable Judge that he tried to thump her, and he shall not be their to offer discredit. And she are also permit to slt in Court with great display of plump hose, tiil Honorable Jury forget evidence and say with much nudging “That so young and beautiful Flower should not be incarcerate from sight-’’ “What are her house address of Street?” Dear people it are awful, such condition of affair are now come that in our City thè Prosecution Attorney will not permit arrest of Wife for such small affair, sneh a shame to bother her. Even when eye witness o calamity are come with mule to testify. Even in home where I board ls horrible example of ondition which are changing about. The Honorably Seraphic Peabody and his delectable neient wife who lost her pulchrltude wearing hoop kirts have much loud argument con and prò. Many nonth past he made purehase of Pool Store with fam;.ly bank finance. his adorably withered wife ex ostulated orally at tiny hour of night for elucidation of il boardlng house roomers thus —"Yes” "You say ou will make many dollars from men who will come o vour parlor to shoot craps" "Poor little things why hould they be shot” “Oh that I should thus live to see thè simoleums of my Fore Fathers squandered on a slaughter house -where pool & craps are to be shot” ‘You will be bloody all thè time" she squaked, while he boarders glggled respectfully, each aster hls own fashion.
But time are now past, thè Honorable Seraphic Peaare now a success, and his dear wife come to dinner table this day with halr cut short and with snap of finger articulate “Corner Seven”! “Mother deslre3 new wearing apparel” and such other epitaphs as are now popular in pool halls. She now exclaim “MY Pool room” and refers to her Honorable husband as “Poor Fish” and says “What would thè men do without we wimmen to run business for them” And thè Lady whorn operates our Boarding House x spoke in return to her thus —(she being of Irish consent) “Yea bo! poor divvils, they sure are a lot of bother” And so, most Honorable Husbands, you too have an adorable little lotus flower a. home, who ls watching for you to lay down your club, and then “Good Evenlng”! thè most Honorable Judge will say “My poor dear chield You have suffered much” “too much I fear” —“discharged” JAKE.

Harding Urging Early Action on Ship Subsidy Bill By Times Special WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—President Harding rears thè ship subsidy will be a dead lssue unless it is enacted before thè present , overwhelmlngly republican congress expi rea on March 4. Accordingly, thè work of lining up every ounce of adminlstratlon infìuence to force thè subsidy through ihe special session beginning Nov. 20 is going overtime In Washington now. There are anti-subsidy Republicans i l-.ere who say thè subsidy bill has ! less chance now than it had before ì rlection. Their reasons: First, that ship subsidy figured as I an issue in thè recent congressionai clections and thè Wholesale Democratlc vlctories show thè country ls opposed to a subsidy. Second, that many of thè eighty odd Republican members of thè House and thè dozen or so Republu.an Senatore, who were defeated, will come back to Washington sore | and disgruntled, blaming their defeats in large measure on Harding Administration policies; and they won't be inclined to line up for a subsidy merely to please thè Presldent. q'he opposition to thè subsidy, as heretofore, will be led by Democrats —Congressman Davis of Tennessee, Bankhead of Alabama and Hardy of Texas.

Kansas Publisher Faces Trial to Test Constitutionality of Industriai Law
By VE A Service EMPORIA, Kan„ Nov. 16.—There’s going to be no shadow boxing when William Alien White, famous Empor:a publisher, faces trial for violatlng a law he helped to frame—even though his arrest was brought atout by his best friend, Govemor Henry Alien of Kansas. Take lt from White, also from Richard J. faopkins, attorney generai, there will be no gloves used. White has refused offers of continuance, declaring thè industriai court uct as now- tnterpreted deprives people of free speech. He’s determined that it be fully tested. Hopkins has accepted this challenge, and ho is making preparations to flght for thè measure with all thè resources at his command. And meantime, all of Kansas and many hundreds of people in other States are watching with interest thè outcome of thè now famous clash between thè two bosom friends, who stili retain their comradeship, despite thè fact that Alien caused White's arrest. White faces trial Nov. 22 on a charge of “stopping trains on thè Santa Fe Railroad" through hls open expressions of sympathy with thè striking railroad shopmen last July. Poster Caused It White put up a poster in thè window of his newspaper office asserting he was “50 per cent for thè strikers,” and each day therafter avowed he would add 1 per cent to hls sympa-

England Worried Over Unusually Low Birth Rate Hy Uniteti News LONDON. Nov. 16—The middle classes of England—thè back bone of thè Empire, thè source of its wealth — are threatened with extinctlon. Heavy taxatlon is thè cause. That is thè conclusion which economists, edltorlal writers and welfare vvorkers sorrowfully draw from birth-rate and marriage statistica in England and Wales for thè second quarter of thè present year. The figures reveal: 1. The lowest birth-rate for any corresponding period, except during thè war. 2. The lowest -.narriage rate since 1912. 3. Children are multiplying in thè slum areas at twice. often three times thè rate at which they are multiplying among thè middle classes. 4. The birth-rate among profes-

who insist on thè rights of free speech. The strange feature about this is that those who want “free speech” to prevail are ecually insistent on upholding “law and order.” State Is Divided That is why thè rest of Kansas is with White, although many have expressed their desire to see that thè State law prevails in this a in other cases. They, as well aa thè Governor, would like to see White acquitted. But if it would be at thè expenso of thè industriai court law, they believe strlct Justice should be done.

Cancer Can Be Cured If Caug ht in Early Stage By DR. JAMES E. RUSH, M. D. Field Offlcer for thè Americani Society for thè Control of Cancer. Much has been said of cancer. Much ls stili to be learaed. But every one should understand that if thè disease is detected during thè Arsi six months—thè cruciai state —aster its inception, cure can be reasonably expected. The great danger from cancer lies in thè individuul’s procrastination in seoking expert medicai treatment, and in a ceitain indifference toward thè silent danger signals which cancer always shows before it starts in its relentiess march of destruction through thè body—of prog. ession with only deuth waiting in thè end. Following are some of thè more manifest symptoms which every one should know of, and having any of them, seek out a reputable physician for advice and treatment; 1. A colored moie which ls being ■eonstantly irritateci This is a higiily darigerous condition provocative to cancer if aliowed to stand. If you have such a mole that is being tmtated have a physician look at it. 2. Irritation of any surface of thè body suffered by persons who work with coal tar produets. 3. Any lump on thè temale breast. 4. Any sore which does not readily beai. 5. Any permanent sore, about thè ! mouth especially. 6. Any abnormal discharge from any orifice of thè body, particularly if blood tingled. 7. Constant pain in thè abdomen, e pecially if associated with a destre for a change in appetite. Particularly if thè individuai has no desire for meat.
IF YOU ARE WELL BRED You are careful to observe thè etiquette of thè theater. If you have oceasion to ask thè woman sitting in front of you to remove her hat you word your request In thè most polite terms. The first note from thè orchestra should be thè signal for quiet. If you arriva during thè overture, or aster thè performance has begun, you should be careful to see that your chalr is not clattered or aliowed to drop noisily.x Of course, you do not rustie your program.
