"I'll read you what it says,"
volunteered' Helen at our right
back, while Willie at center back
nuzzles two fists in our coal collar
and Norman wants to know if that
is the "Bagdad yet," and Willie
wants to know what "is a bag
bag anyway." But it doesn't mat
ter. Helen' can reads "yarn' for
yearn and not miss a single bit of
the romance. She can even : read
that "the mottoes ate storming
the city" Instead of tbe Mongols.
Why not? Persons at center front
were wishing "someone would
' make those kids shui up." But
we hoped no one would. The
marvelous scenes were too amaz
ing for mere adult minds to drink
In to the--full, too j incredible.
How wondrous they grew as

If theiflylng carpet were a bit

with enthusiastic whistles and
cheers. The plot and the romance

tending single-handed may be

6. Dstroy the fee system; in so
far as the system of fees in lieu
of salaries to license issuers sur
vives, it interf ers with the disih
tereted character of their service.
7. Strengthen requirements as
to proqf of age of applicants for
marriage licenses; at present no
proof of age 'is required in most
marriage license offices and the
practice of accepting affidavits
leads to falsification by applicants
and sometimes their parents, mak
ing possible the marriage of child
ren 11, 12, 13," and 14 years of
age.
8. Substitute better evidence of
age for affidavits; no other form
of evidence is so unsatisfactory.
Aside from birth and baptismal
certificates 16 other forme of
documentary evidence of age are
suggested in the report.
9. Require both applicants for
a marriage license to appear in
person before the license issuer.
10. Harmonize the different
state Jaws in which a minimum
age is required; the minimum
marriageable age should not be
lower than the minimum working
age, and the compulsory school
attendance age should fit both
these others. '.'
Adoption of such reforms, says
the report, would act as a check
upon those parents who are wil
ling! to marry off their boys and
girls while, they are still children.
What is more important, they
would protect other parents who
at present never know when some
