INDIA HASTENS CHILD WEDDINGS TO ESCAPE BAN Thousands of Marriages Are Rushed Before New Law is Effective. BV H. E. BEIL BY rnlt.d Prr-M Staff Ccrrr.pond.nt CALCUTTA. Jar.. 24 —Before the child marriage act comes into force next April, after which no marriages will be legal unless boys and girls hSve reached the ages of 1R and 14, respectively, thousands of child marriages will oave been solemnized in •it parts of India. In an effort to forestall the act, parents are feverishly planning matches for their children, and in the next few months thousands of children of 1 and 2 years of ages will have been married in a/'ordance with Moslem and Hindu laws. In many towns marriage processions with brides and bridegrooms between 5 and 12 years of age now are a familiar sight and in some districts of Bengal low class Hindus have begun to celebrate the marriages of even 1-year-old girls and 2-year-old boys. Ten days generally are required to complete the ceremonies in connection with a Hindu marriage and some of the primary, midlde English and high English schools are almost empty on account of the absence of the boys who are detained at home to perform the ceremonies in connection with their marriages. Legislation can do little without the education of the masses, and In this direction foreign missions and welfare societies are striving to accomplish a glorious work for the future of India.

Mother of Twins Is 16

Old Doc Stork, running a close race with Santa Claus, presented Mr. and Mrs. Clifford T. Currin of Omaha with a pair of bouncing twins for their Christmas present. Nothing much unusual about that, except that the mothei is just 16 years old and the father is 19. They posed here just six hours after the twins—Helen Theodora, 4’6 pounds, and Clifford Jr., 5 pounds—arrived. The mother is an expert tennis player and the father a star in collegiate athletics.

STATE’S PRODUCTION OF FIREWOOD HEAVY Forest By-Product in 1929 Was Valued at $5,000,000. Indiana forests produced In excess of 1,000,000 cords of firewood in 1929. Director Richard Lieber of the state conservation department, announced today. He pointed out that this by-prod-uct of woods and forests has an imi portant economic bearing. “Firewood produced during the i last calendar year has a commercial value of approximately $5,000,000,” Lieber declared. “As It was produced in many counties where coal must be shipped In and often where roads are poor In winter, much of it was consumed by the producers. “Most of this wood Is a by-product

and the cutting does not Interfere with stands left to mature into lumber.” Principal counties producing firewood are Brown, Crawford, Floycl* Harrison, Jackson, Lawrence, Martin, Monroe, Franklin, Dearborn, Ripley, Peny, Morgan, Orange, Tippecanoe, Switzerland, Dubois, Washington, Lagrange, Kosciusko, Huntington, Elkhart, Allen, DeKalb and Whitley.

SOUTH AMERICA IS INTERESTED IN SEA PARLEY London Conference to Have Three-fold Bearing on Nations. BY HARRY W. FRANTZ United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—Countries of South America, although not participating in the London naval conference, are likely to find their destinies vitaliy affected by its conclusions, in the opinion of naval authorities here. These countries traditionally have a three-fold m erest in the evolution of international naval policies, likely to be accentuated as the drama of London unfolds. These interests are estimated as follows: Naval accord of the world powers tends to reflect itself in the moderation of rivalries among the less powerful nations of the world; whereas, contrarily, disparities between policies of the world powers tends indirectly to stimulate partisanship and rivalry in the smaller camps: Secondly, the countries of South America have in the past conceived their destinies to require the maximum realization of the principle of freedom of the seas. At the sixth Pan-American conference at Havana, leading jurists of the twenty republics found themselves substantially in accord on the basic principles of sea law —a fact of importance if the law

of the seas should be discussed at London. Thirdly, many of the countries of the Caribbean area, and the west coast of South America, have a vital interest in the unimpaired j operation of the Panama Canal, which tends increasingly to create R certain community of naval interest between them and the United States. This fact was indicated at Havana when Peru, proposed that the American countries should share the responsibility of canal defense. This consideration would be pertinent in reference to the London

What most people call indigestion is usually excess acid in the stomach. The food has soured. The instant remedy is an alkali which neutralizes acids. But don’t use crude helps. Use what your doctor would advise. The best help is Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia. For the fifty years since its invention it has remained standard with physicians.

Danger Lurks in Neglected Colds

Protect Yourself Against Infection Nine-tenths of the people who fall victims to dangerous infectious diseases that attack the respiratory tract are rendered susceptible because colds and nasal trouble have weakened the resisting qualities of the membranes against infection. Medical authorities recognize the formula and specifications of SI-NOK as highly efficient for combating nasal Infection and colds, because SI-NOK has an oil base which permits it to cling to the membranes of the nose and throat as its ingredients soothe and cleanse the delicate tissues.
