The report, which waa prepared by .Mary K. Richmond, nnder whose direction the etndy waa condncted. with the collaboration of Fred B. Hail, takea the position that at thin stage reform must be effected state by atite. It calls upon .association of parents, ministerial associations, aocial worker, legislators and others Interested in the problem of child marriage, to undertake the following ten atepa toward a solution of this problem : 1. Work toward a reasonable and enforceable minimum marriageable age law; the minimum for (iris should be at least 16; in man stairs It la still 12. 2. Procure In states which now are without It a law requiring fire days' ad ranee notice of Intention to marry; auch law la now in opera tion In eight states. 8. Put the marriage market town ot of burinem; there are at least 40 notorious Gretna Green where the exploitation and commerclalicsr tfon of maniac responsible for trmerone cMld jaarrtagea. 4r -Through co-operation with ad Jodning atatea alacourage hasty mar riage aeroM the state border, where ono-osVtown marriages are railroaded tbxougb either at the license offlo or the Justice of the peace office, or both. 6 Enow (he work of your Hceaee Haera, m that fbe difti col ties with which tbey are bow oon tending aingle h ended sosor bo brooght to bgbt, and that they may be encouraged to use the discretion which the laws of many atatoa now empower them to exercise. & Destroy the fee system; In so far as the system of fees In lien of salaries to license issuers surrires. it interferes with the disinterested character of their service. 7. Strengthen requirements as to proof of age of spplicants for mar riage licenses; at present no proof of age Is required In most marriage license offices and the practice of ac cepting affidavits leada to falsifica tion by ailicants and sometimes by their parents, making possible the - marriage of children 11, 12, 13 and 14 years of age. 8. Substitute better eridence of age for affidavits; no other form of evidence is so unsatisfactory. Aside from birth and baptismal certificates, 111 other forms of documentary eri dence of age are suggested in the report! 0. Require both applicant for ft marriage license to appear in pcrsor before the license Issuer. . 10. Harmonize the different state lawn in which a minimum age Is re quired; the minimum marriageable age should not be lower than the minimum working age, and the com pulsory school attendance age should fit into both theae others. Adoption of such reforms, says the report, would act aa a check upon tbore parents who are willing to marry off their boys sod girls while tbey are still children. What is moro important, they would protect other parents who at present nerer know when some designing person or Im pulse of the moment may spirit away the Immature girl or boy from; the home and make the child the1 Tlertm of an administrative system j which la without proper safeguards. ; Dr. Helen S.

Just aa everybody thought the whole question of Tit amine had been thoroughly straightened out along comes a discovery that has science guessing. Dr. Helen S. Mitchell, director of nutrition research at the Battle Creek Sanitarium is now carryinjt on a close investigation of what is believed to be ft new vitamin christened Vita min X. "So little la known about Vitamin X that It is hard to say much about It," says Dr. Mitchell. "There is even some doubt whether there Is auch a thing and until ita existence or non-existence has been established there will be a battel royal among scientists. Four Vitamins Accepted Four vitamins have been accepted as established. There is Vitamin A, which is pres ent in fats, particularly cod-liver oil, butter, egg yolk, milk and also in green leaves. Then there Is Vitamin B, present la seeds of plants, especially whole grain, egg yolk, yeast and in many fruit vegetables. Vitamin 1) is little known but It Is generally conceded to be found in cod-liver oil and certain green foods and is useful in the prevention of rickets. !

A number of lecturers and round table leaders of last year's WUliami town Institute will attend the Hono lulu conference, it is announced. Among those are Xusuke Tsumuri, son-in-law of Vihcount Goto; Henry Pratt Fairchiid, New York university, and George H. ttlakeslee, of Glark university.

The fact that 5O0.000 lire disap peared with Troiae makes It seem un likely that he will return, and now the authorities are searching for a method of making legal all of the ir regular demises, illegitimate births and automatic divorces the careless official left behind him. Livestock is Driven In London Streets LONDON, April 1L OP) The custom of driving pigs, sheep and cattle through the streets, a practice begun centuries ago when London was but a village, ia still being car ried on. However, it is seldom that the public generally witnesses this sight as the work is done during the early hours of the morning. A herd of cattle, delayed on its way to the market, got into' a traffic jam recently in Holborn, one of the city's main thoroughfares, and extra policemen had to be called to assist the drivers in their task of getting the animals started again. The pres ent day city regulations provide that live stock can be driven through the streets only between the hours of midnight and five in the morning. Fast Traveling Colt PARIS, April 11. A French year ling colt, owned by an attache of the Dutch legation in Paris, is the first race horse ever shipped by airplane froinNone country to another. The colt was carried from Paris to the owner's farm in Holland in a plane with a special horse stall. E TO FOR STEAKS NEW YORK, April 11. W Alaska has ita eye on the gradual falling off In American beef produc tion, and aspires to develop an equiv alent of the once famous Texas steer in its own Arctic reindeer. Chsrles DeWItt Brewer, a New Yorker who has lived 41 years In Alaska, told a gathering ftt the City club recently that New York city waa, already tak ing 150,000 pounds of reindeer beef a year, and predicted by the end of 1025 it would consume 375,000 pounds. What Mr. Brower called a defi nitely established beef industry In the north rested, he said, upon herds of 300,000 beef-bred reindeer which fatten In a great grass triangle as large as Texas whose apex is Point Barrow, 200 milea north of the Arc tic circle. By 1940 he expected 4, 000,000 head. Nome was the packing house cen ter, and so far the meat output was only about large enough to meet the domestic demand, according to Mr. Brower. However, the nucleus of a future export business was provided in the growing New York trade, and refrigerator boats were bringing beeves direct to the Hudson river, by way of Seattle and the Panama canal. The reindeer, Santa Clatis to the contrary, had become s.vnonomous with steaks and chops in the north country rather than sleigh bells, said fr. Brower. Sledging there was now , done exclusively by dogs, which could traverse stretches reindeer could not. Beef possibilities of the reindeer were first discovered when Pr. Shel don Lewis, a missionary, imported them from Siberia to succor the Es quimaux who were threatened with atarvarion by extinction of game ani mals. The present herds bsve been bred up from the 1.2S0 origins! ani mals brought over Bering sea be tween 1S92 and 1902. Heindeer calfskin furnishes what Mr. Brower said was the warmest fur for its weight In the world, spec ially favored for clothing bv maux and Cbukrheeti, mhai and explorers.

(API A landlord who puts out his tenants when they become too prosperous, ia order to make room for poorer ones, preferably those with children. Is the cur ious spectacle presented by the city of Stockholm. Aa there is i a shortage In housing, the city has ordered those who can af ford to pay higher rents to more . In order to provide homes for those with less means, many of whom are now llvlnc In tempor ary shelters. J It Is only after careful lnvestl- f atlon, bowever, that the city aa-' thorltles rive a tenant notice Thus, out of 600 families propos-j ed for ejection thli year, only 1 of green vegetables which contain these vitamins supplies the body with certain substance which are ne cessary to proper development of the body. These known vitamins, A, B, C, acd I), are really food balancing substances and help to put the body In a position where it can ward off disease. Vitamin X is different. It Is be lieved that the new vitamin, if it ex ists, affects the reproductive powers of at least animals. May be Balancer "Personally I am rather inclined to believe that what we think may be a new vitamin isn't a vitamin at all but some other substance, or per haps a better balance of substances already known," Dr. Mitchell Bays. Experiments with rata by addition al diet have proved successful in j changing; reproductive power. Just what effect the experiments 1 will have on the human rare is at this time problematical. Kesearch i experiments, however, on rata are duplicated to a great degree in hu mans. If there Is a Vitamin X It may mean that future generations will be improved because parents knowing of this vitamin can eat food containing ' it. , j The whole thing contains tremen- j dous possibilities and advantages if; there is such a thing as Vitamin X. i And that is what science is now busy ' trying to establish. j 200 have been selected.
