State Health Officer Learns
About Alabama Marriages

DR.. w. II. Sanders. state Health
ohicer, did not know until yesterday
how little he knows of the marriage
business as conducted In his State. he.
like most of the rest of US. has read
often and extensively Of the hymen-
cal ceremonies. But reading Is always
more or less academic.
It takes experience to come by ali
the steps and legal processes incident
to the binding operation under the
laws OF this State Although DR.. san
ders has been repeatedly honored as
the chief executive Officer OF the state
Board of Health has lacked expert
efce in one thing. And not until yes
terday did 1t dawn upon him how
valuable experience in the marrying
line 10 to man in his position.
1t was when he began to open en-
velopes containing monthly reports
on marriage licenses from the probate
Judges of the sixty-seven counties OF
the State. In these reports there are
many items of which the public Is ig-
norant, or at least that part OF the
public who have not attended TO the
formaiities Of a wedding during the
last few weeks.
FOR instance. the probate judges
have been requested by the state
Health ofider to make a note OF many
details about prospective brides and
grooms which In previous years have
not come to light They are to report,
besides their ages and color. their
height. and weight, places OF birth, oc-
equations. the number Of times they
might have been married. religious be-
iiefs, residences and IL there is any
blood, kin between the couple.
When, therefore, DR.. Sanders tore
open his hrst monthly reports from
q probate Judge yesterday. he discov-
cred that these officers had been very
kind Yet there were missing stutfs-
ties hi few cases. And right here
was H&sere the lack Of experience by
the State Heatkn OfIlcer wRs sls&wn.
In explaining that heNcotild notIfurn-
ish ali the data desired. one of the
probate judges frankly wrote that II
was not his fault. He surprised DR..
Sanders by saying that the marriage
business in his county was but mat
ter OF passing comment The groom
ala not even have to make his per-
sonal appearance ar the ONCE OF the
probate Judge. He could be situated
maybe ten miles distant from the
county seat and send In his order for
a license through Justice Of the
peace q
Under such circumstances the pro-
bate Judge did not see how he was
going to gather all the facts wanted
BY the state Board of Health
DR. Sanders intimated that he had
NO criticism to make of the laws OF
Alabama regulating marriages. But
he confessed that he had gained in
knowledge yesterday what he had
missed these many years. He had
been laboriug under the impression
that all steps in the matter Of marri-
ages sswere very formal. He thought
thFe q was not only duty but
pIsasufe for a man to groom himself
in his best when he went about pro-
curing his license surely q groom
must appear before the probate Judge
in person and purchase the permit to

join him 70 another
"But 1t seems that this IL q day OF
hustle and bustle." said the state
Health Oficer. "A man can just take It
as a matter oferoutine 60 get mar
ried. He need not throw donwn his
hoe or his pen or his hammer. He
can simply notify the justice of the
peace In his precinct and the next day
or two win bring him the license. He
has not lost day Of work. That ~
certainly convenient, of course. but /
didn't know"
After ALL the statistical plan Of DR..
Sanders Is going to work out all right
The eases OF missing statistics Will
be exceptions rather than the rule. The
statistics relative to marriages are
calculated 70 be Of great Importance
after they have run through q number
OF years. They win tell many inter
esting things for. the benft OF the his
torian and the socioiogist. Before the
lapse OF many years one viii know

ishing or Increasing.

GUS counties reveal surprises to DR..
