PEOPLE MARRY OLDER.
Interesting Facts Cleaned at Missouri
County Court House.

Ages given in marriage licenses in
the recorders office show that men
and women are marrying later in life
than ten or twenty years ago, says the
Kansas City Journal. The average
age is considerably above that of ten
years ago and very much above that
twenty, thirty or forty years ago. For
merly it was the rule rather than the
exception for brides to be seventeen or
eighteen and grOoms twenty or twenty
one. Now it is almost reversed. Fig
ures for several months show that the
average brides age is between twenty
five and twenty-siX and the groom's
between twenty-eight and twenty
nine. The average age of the first six
couples applying for license at the re-
cOrder's Office Saturday was 3312 for
the men, and 30 for the women. When
the number Of couples had reached
nine the figures were reduced 10 80
for the men and % for the women
These figures, however, are not good
criterion, the couples applying Satur-
day happening to be little older than
ordinarily. Figures also indicate that
couples marrying in May are younger
than the average, than those marrying
in the fall Of the year. Il don't know
TO what to attribute the tendency TO
marry later in life" said the marriage
license clerk, unless it is that il takes
the young man longer to get start in
the world than it did twenty or thirty
years ago. The country Is more de-
veloped, there are not so many oppor-
tunities open to him, and he must
wait longer before he finds himself in
a position that would warrant his
taking the responsibility Of supporting
a family. In other words. men no
longer marry young because they can
not afford it"

Electric Cln1e Alarm.

When the bell of an ordinary alarm
clock begins to ring the sleeper is apt
to wake up sufficiently to think it will
stop soon and as he is not compelled
to arise and stop it the result is often
another nap, with its consequent de-
lays throughout the day. This objec-
ton has led to the designing Of the

several are already In USE The cleo

he gets up to stay. Underneath the
bed is a series of contact points, one
of which is shown in the picture, the

WOMEN HUNTERS FEWER.
The Adirondack Woods Like Lounging


Place in These Days.
Woodswomen are growing fewer in
number, relatively and absolutely.
The women who find pleasure in
tramping over the mountain ridges
with a gun in quest Of deer. in fol-
lowing the windings Of the stream
with a rod alluring the trout. or cast
ing for bass, are disappearing before
the women who come into the woods
with big trunks and many OF them.
True woodswomen are not confined to
the Adirondacks. They may be found
in any of the localities where there
are good hunting and good fishing.
They enjoy outdoor life and growing
strong in roughing it. The member
ship OF the Adirondack League club
contains many women who are devot-
ed to hunting deer and fishing, tramp
ing through the forest and withstand
ing hardship But the number OF
women who have entered the forests
this fall to hunt deer has been smaller
than usual and it Is seen that the
number grows smaller each year.
The conversion of the woods into
fashionable lounging place has had its
effect upon the woodswomen. While
there are woodswomen today, the ma
jority have grown timid through the
display of fashion about the hotels
and are now rarely seen in short
hunting skirts and high boots. When
floating was permitted in the Adiron-
dacks women hunted deer much more
than they do now. Latter day condi-
tons have decreased the number OF
women hunters greatly.
