Mr.. Finley specified the vast mum.

STOP GIRL TRIAL MARRIAGES
Check Put on Prasties Of Young
Women Living with Their Hus-
bands for 4 Short Time.

New York. - Trial marriages BY
young girls who. after living short
time with their husbands, sue for an
annulment on the ground they were
under legal age at the time Of the
marriage, suffered setback when
Judge Greenbaum of the supreme
court dismissed the complaint of An
ME J. Kruger in her suit for an an
nulment of her marriage to Henry
Kruger.
Justice Greenbaum decided that al.
though the girl was married at the
age of II it was with the consent Of
her parents, and she must remain
married unless she can show better
reasons for wanting the marriage an
nulled than that she was not yet Is
when she entered into the contract.
There have been 80 many marriages
among girls who afterward sued for
annulment on the ground they were
under 10 when married that the prac.
tice has come to be regarded az some
thing of joke among lawyers. The
feminine experimenters with the law
revealed that it is possible for young
girls to enter into trial marriages. and
after short time have the contract
set aside.
In his decision Justice Greenbaum
points out this plan in the laws. He
says that in view Of the number Of
suits for annulment by young girls
on one pretext or another he was con,
strained to look into the law careful
~, with the result that he denied the
Kruger complaint. ...,
But the fact remains that . girl
who marries under the age Of Is,
without the consent of her parents,
may have the marriage set aside.

IDEA WORTH DEVELOPING.
Value Of a University In Extending
Village Improvement Work


Village Improvement Work.
President James OF Illinois univer-

In favor Of the artistic IN connection
with home life In Illinois. lie wants
the university to be the medium
through which Information about land
scape gardening, ornamental horticul-
ture and other loca improvements may
be obtained A state organization with
the object of stimulating interest in
such matters might accomplish much.
The need Of attention to them is APP
parent to every one who travels
through the country. Few examples
OF intelligent arrangement Of farm

shape OF buildings. The barns and

whether attractivenCsS. sanitation OF
usefulness is considered Too often
the offer of n few dollars tempts an
owner to sell advertising privileges
that help to mar the face of the land
scape.
The country road might lend itself to
tree planting In n way to secure the
effects to be noted In parts Of the
world where the traveller may ride for
miles along shaded highways. Few
farmers appreciate the usefulness OF
trees about the house or along the
lanes or roads. even when 1.-The woods
are full Of them and transplanting
Is compa ratively easy.
The country village is seldom cared
for in its little details OF cleanliness
and beauty. The churches stand in
the sun. The burying grounds are as
bare OF ornament rs the dusty roads.
There Is no need Of specifications. A
great deal might be done at slight eX
pense OF money or labor If the spirit
were there and with It the knowledge
Of what should be done and how best
done.
If the state university is able to get
something started In Illinois that will
help toward the extension Of the viii
lage Improvement society idea more
widely II will put citizens under ad
ditional obligation to it. The field is
one worth developing Trib-
uno
