BL4MES M4RRIAGE Law:
Bishop Cotton Lays Decrease OF

Buffalo Feb 2O-B.shop Charles H. Cotton, of the
Catholic diocese of Buffalo. discussing to-day the
decrease In marriages in New York State and the
appearance from vital statistics OF the state that
couples of foreign birth figure more numerically in
marriage licenses than young American couples.
said:
That the Italan-Amer.can. Polish American ana
others of foreign birth or descent are prominent
seekers for marriage licenses can be attributed 10
the fact that those good, hard working people are
content with little, not filled with eXtrtvagdnt
notions OF living, und willing TO assume the
RESPONSIBILITIES Of marriage in spiritual than
a material way. The average young American
couple no matter of what denomination they may
be are reluctant take up the burdens OF life
after the manner OF their fathers and mothers ana
desire TO have elaborate homes of their in
which to start
To my mind however the greatest explanation
OF the apparcnt decrease of marriages Is the OBJ
noNious marriage rcenses law. The time must
eventually come when this law must he annulled.

people. discOurteous TO the honest and high minded

speeding are bailed out by means of
jewelry that their employers happen

brooches and watches, but never in
all that collection Of jewels have /

rings arplenty are thrown; in to make
up the required amount. There
doesn't seem to be SO much senti-
