EARLY. MARRIAGE THE THING
Or. Eliot Firmly Of Opinion That Il
AZ Should Not Be Put or Until e
Middle Life.

DR.. Eliot, whose name was mem
toned as American Ambassador in
London, Is strongly in favor Of early
marriages. Here are his views:-
You will hear some young man say,
Il cannot invite girl who has been
brought up to do nothing for herself,
and to have. every qualification; and
every luxury provided for her. to
marry me, until can earn an in
come which will enable her to, live
with me in that way y have two re.
marks to make about that doctrine
that; II a girl has been brought up in
that manner, the sooner she has q
chance to live differently the better
for her. and, secondly. that It is only
fair for a young man who loves a
young woman to consult her as to
whether or not she wishes to marry
him before he can earn q large in.
come. 5
'The young woman has clear
right to say word on that subject
to the man she loves, and not to be
obliged to wait till he is thirty-five
years old before he asks her to marry
him. This Is matter Of looking
ahead at a critical point in your lives.
Young men are not in the habit, per
haps, Of contemplating this aspect Of
marriage. It would be wiser to do SO.
The sooner you begin to think about It
the betterfirst, because It, will be
thinking about the, most important
event in your lives in respect to the
development Of your own characters
and to the happiness not only Of your
selves. but Of the women you will
marry, and Of the family life which
will normally result"

GOOD ROADS FOLLOW FLOOD

The truth OF the old saying. ITS an
i'll wind that blows no one good" Is
no less well demonstrated, following
the great flood that swept over Ohio
and Indiana, than it has been after
every disaster the world has seen. In
the present case those who advocate
the transportation Of merchandise by
motor trucks instead Of by horse and
wagon, or rail methods, are the ones
who see a great good to come out of
the food, though they were no less
sympathetic with its victims or
prompt in coming to their relief than
any others in the United States.
1t is the reconstruction Of roads
and bridges destroyed by the great
sweep of waters that the motor truck
advocates are to benefit, according to
vice-President G. w. Bennett Ut the
Garford company of Elyria, O. With
the work OF rebuilding washed-out
roads and bridges completed. Ohio
and Indiana will have some Of the
best truck highways in the country,
says Mr.. Bennett, basing his state
ment on information lately received
from Garford truck dealers IN all
parts Of the flooded district.
