was another result of our search of the
records Instances Of young girle being
married to cloak relations between the
husband and mother CT the young wife
and hide them from The girl wife's faith
er have been found by our special offl-
GERS who have be.n working in the 1tal-
ian and Sicilian districts.
From what has already been discov-
cred and which Will soon be embodied in
detailed report wherein startling sta
tistics will be given 1t is plain that the
laws of Illinois should be amended to
absolutely prohibit marriage of any girl
under eighteen years of age and require
proof of age of every female between
the ages of eighteen and twenty-one,
such proof to be submitted by sworn tes-
timony of parents or guardians, church
record, or some verification similar to
the provision of the child labor law,
which prevents children of illegal work

America from Italy. He had come to
this country some tirie before, leaving
his wife and children in their old home
to await the tim that he could earn
enough to send for them. He came to
Chicago and made the acquaintance Of
countryman who wanted a wife. It
is said that the average Italian prefers
not only a young wife, but one who
comes in her freshness and purity from
sunny Italy itself
There are plenty of young italian
girls in Chicago that 1 could have
married" Superintendent Bodine
quotes one OF the men whose mar
riage to an imported Italian girl he
prevented, but 1 would not. / don't
want any girl reared In Chicago for q
wife"
This WAS the Lothario whom the
father referred to above met shortly
after his arriyal In Chicago The
countryman who wanted a wife d.
rect from Italy was willing to paw not
only her transportation but that of the
other members Of the family to Amer
lea, that he might have the twelve
year-old girl for his wife. The bar
gam was made and sealed and the
Iafnlly sent for. They arrived, but
the wedding has not yet taken place.

Wholesale Importation of Wives

IL is such conditions that have aroused
the attention OF the officials of the com
puisory education department. S1,nerin-
tendent Bodinc asserts the belief that
his Investigations, IL successful will re-
veal regular system of such innnor.a-
tons of young italian women to become
the brides CT their countrymen already
established in Chicago. Similar eondf-
tons are said to prevail in all the Iarg-
er cities, and similar Investigations TO
that inaugurated this week by Superin-
tendent Bodine are being undertaken in
New York and elsewhere.
In speaking of the result of the InvAs-
legations Of his department thus far
Mr. Bodine says: The investigation
thus far shows the methods of obtain
ing marriage licenses 4on the mere afl-
davit of the applicant, unsupported by

Worse Influences Than Marriage.

'"ro be sure" continued Mr.. Grosser,
the idea of an early marriage for ones
own daughter is repugnant. Americans
with daughters generally dislike to think
Of their marrying until they have reach
ed at least the age Of eighteen. And
yet, l believe that most of those who
would dislike. as general thing, TO
have their daughters marry young
would prefer a marriage at say fourteen
to other alternatives that suggest them
selves. And this being true of American
parents, as / believe IL is, how much
more reasonable Is the attitude of
parents among races where women ma
ture much earlier than is the case with
Americans and are thus earlier suscept-
ible to influences that are far worse
than early marriages."
Mr.. Grosser Is skeptical of the state
ment that there are thousands of child
wives under the age of fourteen in Chi
cago, 1T Is a most difficult thing about
which to secure statistics that would
have the least weight They cannot be
obtained from the records of the county
clerk, for these records would show no
licenses issued to girls under fourteen

dine in his crusade against Cupid will
find many child wives who are young
enough to make them amenable to the
compulsory education laws" says Mr..
Grosser.
In spite of all adverse comment. many
cases or young girls married under four
teen years have been brought to light in
the courts. While the last United States
