A law to compel the pro ducing of a certificate of good health before a marriage license is issued would have its effect In reducing the Arst cause, though It must be grant ad there are various difficulties in the i way of enforcement of such a law. Toung and hasty marriages ara list ed at the cause of 15 per cent of the marital wrecks, This Is a cause which hardly can be cured by legis lation. Parents, however, can do much to discourage too early marri ages and can do It effectively If they have the proper control over their children. It will surprise many to note that whiskey and drugs com bined are responsible for only 15 per cent of the matrimonial misfits. It la commonly supposed that the liquor habit alone was a relatively greater destroyer of happiness. Judge Germll's assertion that wo men are better "stickers" in time of want and trouble than are men will te admitted by any fair-minded per son of either sex. In fact, any un prejudiced observes at a divorce court la forced to the realization that men provide by far the greater causes for divorce.

The spirit of fairness 'still prevaila In Oregon; the spirit of de cency and honesty of the great ma jority is plain to bs seen.
