UNIFORM MARRIAGE - LAWS ARE ADVISED ¥ S ————————— % Would Check Rising Tide of Divorces, Survey Says. New York.—Eleven siates of the Union still permit girls of twelve to marry. In several states marriage licenses are issued by mail, without. the appearance of either prospective bride or groom before the license clerk. In many places the.license clerk is depéndent upon the fees he receives for his entire pay, and consequenily he issues licenges promiscuously and without questions. o There are at least 57 “marriage market” towns in the United States where Inw s so ilax that justices of the peace amd “marrying parsons™ advertise that ceremonies will be performed at any time of day or night, and no questions asked. o : These conditions, brought to light in the recent survey conducted by tlie Russell Sage Foundation, explain a big percentige of the constantly increasing number of American divorcees, ‘according to F. Emerson Andrews, who analyzes the: foundation’s report in the current issue of the North American Review = ~ Approximately 700,000 persons in the United States, it was found, hayve participated in marriaces involving girls under sixteen. Hundreds of thousands of others have taken advantage of these lax conditions to marry bicamonsly, or while intoxicated, or while mentally or physically incoimpetent. . \ : ~Practically 100 per cent of such marriages, Mr. Andrews points out, are doomed to end in the divorce courts, The states where marriages of girls of twelve are permitted are Maine, Rhovde Island;, New Jersey, [Florida, Louisiana, Maryland, Missicsippi. Tennessee, Virginia, Colorado and Idaho. Twenty-four states, Including such highly developed commonwealths as New York, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsyivania. still recognize the common law marriage, In which a man and woman may live together under a mere ‘secret agreement between themselves. . -Adoption and enforcement of uniform marriage laws throughout the country could quickly check the rising tide of divorce at its source, it is shown. Recommendations for such laws, made by the Russell Sage Foundation investigators and published in the North American Review article are: - L 1. Raise the minimuni age for marrlage to 16 years evervwhere. 2. Require a notice of intention to marry to ‘be filed five days before the license ‘may be issued. 3.- Issue licenses at regular hours ouly. on the bhasis of proved age and io the town or county ‘where the bride or greom. resides, 4. Abolish the fee system for payment of license clerks. 5. Abolish- the fee system for the eivil solemnization of marriage. by justices. - 6. Let religious bodies establish in theological seminaries thorough instruction regarding marriage laws, and deal rigidly: with the commercial practices of “marrying parsons.” 7. Establish a bureau of marriage law supervision in each state. : :

50 Cents Would Cover Cost of Thunderstorm + Washington.—A half dollar probably would pay for all the eleetricity expended in the average thunderstorn, the bureau of standards estimated today. s : At the prevailing rate of 5 cents a kilowatt hour, a single flash of lightning is worth about four-tenths of a cent. While a flash in a severe storm generates power -of 1,000,000 kilowatts, capable of doing appalling damage, its duration being 3-100,000 of a second. it represents but 8-1,000 of a kilowatt hour, the basis upon which commercigl current is sold, = o ‘ “It is surprising that there are not more deaths by lightning,” the bureau sald. “Reports show that about 500 persens are killed every year by flashes, The property damage, especially in rural distriets, however, is tremendous.” . Explaining the phenomenon; the bureau said that large raindrops containing electrical charges, on striking the upper current of air are broken into smaller drops and the energy released, : e ; Many Locusts Chicago.—An expedition of the Field museum found locusts so thick in one place in the Sobat section of Africa that one could not see the ground. e :

FINDS WOREN LI/ RS ; i Fou AND REAL PURSLERS : ‘ Judge Looks at ’Em for Six Years and Learns. New York.—Lovely woman would be shocked to knqw- liow she appears to Magistrate Alexander Brough, who has been peering at her with judicial and unbiased mind cyring six years he has presided over the New York family court. : Magistrate Brouzn learned about women in court and le tells some of the things he said he learned though he makes the stalement that he does not mean all the women. He’s talking of the type of women that come into court. Here are some of his conclusions : Women are liars. ' They have no sense of law and order. v . Finds Them Unfair, Too. - They bave no consideration of fafrness toward their husbands. Instead of heing the pursued, they are the pursuers, off:'\n seeking a wedding ring simply 1o avoid the social stigma (among women) of appearing undesirable. _-They marry a $25 a week man and yell because they can’t live on a $6O a week scale. o . "Given 815 a weck as the maximum for the family budget, they -will blow £lO on a permanent wave. _ They are so- lacking in sentiment that they don’t remember their own wedding day. They say, “l was married three or four years ago,” and that does them nicely., - “Why, & woman was in dourt yesterday wanting me to increase the payments her hushand was making for her support,” said the judge. “Our social workers investigated and found he- couldn’'t pay her any more. When I denied her request, she got so angry she siapped her husband right there in court.. What can you do to her? You cant send a mether to jail for contempt and let her children go without care. ; ' “Another woman wanted more money and said she wasn’t working, Our investigator knew she was. “*Oh, well} she admitted, ‘I knew I'd get more money if you thought I was dependent on him. “And when I tliciatened her with prosecution for perjury she just laughed and said, ‘1 don’t care.’ : All Have Some Old Clothes. “They've all got old clothes to wear in court. They all dress to look seedy when asking money Usually they accuse the hushand of going around with other women. | figure the absolute minimum for a ‘man to live on alone is %2 a day. And when he is paying 515 to her out of $3O wages, there isn’t much left for other women. “Usnally they try to. say ‘the husband’s wiages are much higher than they really are. : ' “They feel that the ecourts: must give them everything they want. They know all.about thoir rights, but they recognize 'no responsibilities.” Having relieved himself of these views, Magistrate Brough expressed some of his ideas of what he thinks of the woman who does not get into court. : : He still likes to.believe that they are ladies riding behind their knights on milky white palfreys, eager to be rescued from dragons and grateful if they are. :

Kiss in Court to Prove Innocence of Embrace Paris.—Saturnin Fabre will be asked to kiss Mme, France-Ellys in court before his wife, her husband, three learned judges and a roomful of onlookers., He must kiss her as he kissed her once before, knowing that at the last smack the court will decide whether or not his osculatory exhibit is an outrage uguhés[ public decency. _ Fabre is an actor and the last time his lips touched those of Mme. FranceEllys, which happened to be during the love scene in a frothy farce, a cry of indignation rent the theater. It eame neither from Mme. Fabre, nor the actress’ husband but M. Talclet, architect, who was a disinterested spectator. - ‘ - Court Held in Plane Over California Canyon Los Angeles.—The “hear ye, hear ye’ of a Los Angeles court sounded ‘high in- the ski»s as Superior Judge Albert Lee Stevens centinued hig alrplane hearing on a land condemnatlon deal. ' The airplane was called into ase by Judge Stevens when he was confronted with condemuation proceedings brought by Los Angeles county in San Gabriel county, where a score of gold claims must be abandoned to make way for a dam. : To become better familiar, the judge held the hearings as the plane soared over the canyon, attorneys for both sides arguing their cases above the hum of the motors. Plant Thrives in Bottle | Without Air or Water Boston.—Can a plant grow without alr? This question ‘arose when Capt. Ed Forbes of the schooner Gossoon brought to port a bottle, apparently air-tight, in which a plant, believed of the gulf weed variety, was growing. The bottle, feund floating in the La Have fishing grounds, was tightly corked, but the plant seemed to be thriving despite a lack of air and moisture, : 5
