F1urchInSon OF New YORK has dellV-
cred a body blow at the new theory
of scientific mating by saying that
the good, oId-fashioned way of fall
ing in love is the best and only proper
way of achieving matrimony.
Even the most profound and cold
blooded of scientists have never sue
ceeded in finding a better excuse for
getting married than falling in love-"
he says. For the most part we have
come to the conclusion that if the
young people were given little in
struction they could be pretty well
trusted to make their own matrimo-
NAL selections.
There is a natural inclination for
a man to marry beauty and good tenn
per and good sense-as much as he
can get in single package. And
there is a natural tendency for a
woman to prefer vigor and whole
someness.
'The whole tendency of the race is
to marry for betterand not for worse.
We should put away such things as
inheritance and pedigrees.
1.-The English aristocracy is the
only aristocracy that retains degree
of Vigor and that's because occasion
ally a member marries a wholesome
chorus girl or dairy maid"
l think DR.. Hutchinson is mainly
right in these statements.
The natural choice of man or
woman, is toward the eugenically
perfect mate. But unfortunately, the
natural choice is horribly complicated
these days by the necessity of recon
CLING it with the economic problem.
A poor but perfect young man may
love poor but perfect young woman,
yet he may feel the necessity of mar
rying his employers homely daugh-
ter to get on in the world.
And the young girl of the period,

Love SHOULD BE the only reason
for marriage. But it can't be so long
as one man can pay 100000 for a
peach-blow vase and another doesn't
know where he is going to get money
for his next meal
The age of marriage is growing
later and later all over the world be-
cause the age at which a man can
support a wife and risk the burden of
a family is growing later and later.
Girls consequently are forced into the
labor market because there is no one
to marry them. They marry today at
25 or 3O-a good 10 years later than
their grandmothers were made wives.
Let us hope the perfect babies of
Los Angles may grow up and become
perfect mates.
: If their parents are moderately
well off, maybe they will. But so I'M
reasoning thing is love. that William
Flynn, aged 81 months, and engaged
to Alene Houck, aged II months, may
yet prove false to his baby vows, love
some maiden with an uneugenic
squint and jilt his perfect mate for
someone not so faultlessly faultless.
And Alene may prefer short, red
headed, freckled fellow to her 100 per
cent fiance.
And if she loves the red-headed
man, Alene will be 100 per cent right.

LIFE. INSURANCE MEN
TO SOLVE PROBLEM


New York, Dec. Declaring that
The abandoned farms of the Eastern
states might well be worth $4O0 an
acre. instead Of 500 Dr. Cyril G. Hop
kius Of the University of Illinois today
sounded note of warning as to the
need for permanent and scientific soil
enrichment throughout the agricultural
lands OF the United States-in the
West as wei as the East He strong
ly urged cooperation to this end on
the part of city people. Dr. Hopkins
made his plea before the ninth annual
convention Of the Association of Life
Insurance Presidents which Is consid-
erng various problems involved in
loaning life insurance funds on farm
mortgages. At present about six hun
dred and sixty million dollars of life
insurance money Is loaned on farms.
principally in the South and West
"The most important and the most
neglected factor in American agri-
culture is that OF soil enrichment"
said DR.. Hopkins. For three cen
turies the American farmer has drawn
the support Of the nation from the
fertility contained il our virgin soils
with widespread soil depletion as
result When the land became too
poor to raise a profitable crop by the
ordinary means of soil stimulation, the
American farmer has, as a general
rule allowed the farm to go back to
nature. and he has either moved to
newer lands or joined the increasing
urban population.
"The improvement of seed, the use
of tile drainage the invention and
general adoption of labor-saving
the development of cheap
and rapid means of transportation,
and the opening OF the worlds mar
kets to our farm products, have all
combined 10 make possible and to en-
courage raph deterioration of Ameri-
can soils Crop rotation is good farm
practice, but it makes possible more
rapid soil depletion because Of the
larger crops produced where insect
pests ami plant diseases are avoided
by such rotation
"The I h!ted States bureau of CEN
sus reports that the aggregate area of
improved farm land agriculturally
abandoned from 1880 to Trio was g.
SO9,S34 acres in New England, New
York New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
If a state like Massachusetts should
entirely stop farming, the fact would
be made known and emphasized the
country over and the world around,
but, if another equal area of improved
farm land is to be agriculturally aban-
loned, it could be so selected as to
stop farming in eight states, includ-
ing New Hampshire, Vermont, Massa-
