ADELINE-The average girl of 1s
is far too undeveloped (mentally) to
marry. She has no comprehension OF
love and is without ideas as to the
serious side of married life, with its
problems and ~perplexities. There are
a thousand reasons why she should
not marry and practically none why
she should.

of the adjectives applied to Secretary
OF the Interior Ballinger by l.. r. Gla-
Wis. the deposed land office Official.
yesterday afternoon in giving the con-
gressional investigating committee OF
his opinion of the secretary.
Chief Counsel Fertrees for Balling-
err had asked CLAWS why he thought
Ballinger guilty OF misconduct" The
former chief of field service paused
moment and went on dispassion-
ately:
First, think the action OF Mr.. Bal
linger in drawing up the escrow agree
ment with the Wilson coal claimants
was wrong. AS q matter OF fact, this
agreement was criminal, although the
statute OF limitations has run. and the
evidence is not clearly conclusive. But
the report of Judge Hanford's decIs-
Ion on these cases speaks for itself
"Ope of the most important things,
showing that he was not loyal TO his
trust or faithful TO the people was his
/ action after giving me instructions

cause 1t shows that there has been an
understanding prior to making entry
and suggests fraud rather than COM

The next step which shows he was
untrue, and not protecting the peoples
rights. was that he appeared before
the public lands committee in the
house for the Kale BILL which would
have carried out his statement to
James that he would ask congress to
help the people get their patents.
''The Kale bill. If passed. would have
