LAW PROPOSED
FOR STATE OF MISSOURI
Bill Would Provide for Marriage
Licenses With Certificates of
Health Also.
MUST HAVE coon HEALTH
This Would Mean an End of Elope-
ments in This State-Like Wis
consin's New Law.

jefferson City, Jan. 9.-At the re-
quest of several ministers and club
women of Kansas City, Frank C. Will
kinson, member of the house from the
Second Kansas City District, will in
troduce a bill to put the Wisconsin
Eugenics Marriage Law into effect
in Missouri. Several clubwomen said
they wanted to be heard by the legis-
I~lative committees when the bill came
.(up for consideration.
The bill would require every ap-
Pplicant for a marriage license to
bring with him a medical certificate
from a competent physician. The APP
plication then would have to be pub
lished and if no objection was filed in
three days, the license would be
granted. Incidentally, the bill would
put clippers out of business alto
gether. In case three persons, not
blood relatives, objected to the grant
ling of a license, the bill would pro-
wide for an immediate hearing be-
fore the circuit court.
The subject of eugenic marriages
has been discussed before women:
clubs all over Missouri. The women
hope to see the legislature give the
matter consideration.

out eyes, hears without ears and has

been reduced to so cents.
Miss Keller has written quite a

\. G. COMPANY FOR THIS
CITY AGAIN DISCUSSED
-Four Regiments in Missouri With the
Exception of One Company,
Burton Says.
TO IMPROVE STATE HIGHWAY
Rails County Lawyers Think Exten-
sion of Electric Line A Spleen
did Move.

The matter Of a National Guard
company for Mexico was before the
Commercial Club, at the Luncheon,
Friday. This proposition has been
discussed before at various times but
no definite action has been taken.
Col. E. Y. Burton, of M. M. A., in q
short talk, said he spoke to Adjutant
Gen. John B. while in Jeffer-
son City in regard to such a company
for Mexico. He says there are four
regiments in Missouri, lacking one
company and the adjutant general is
very anxious 70 organize one more
company to fill out the four complete
regiments. Headquarters for the COM
pany could be had in the new gym
nasium of the academy according to
Col. Burton.
David H. Robertson, who was cap
tain of such a company in Mexico,
several years ago, said the State
would furnish about $4,000 worth of
equipment for the company besides
other expenses. Nothing is asked of
the Commercial Club and business
men except their moral support, these
gentlemen stated. The matter was
turned over to a committee ap-
pointed by the president to look into
the proposition and report on its ad-
visibility. Those on the committee
are Col. Burton, Mr.. Robertson, and
H. B. Mckinley.
On motion of R. E Race, it was
voted that the Good Road Committee
start a movement to improve the
North Missouri Cross-State Highway
through Audrain county in readiness
for the traffic across the continent
next summer
James o. Allison, a prominent law
yer of New London, made a short
talk. He said Rails county regrets
very much the poor railroad connec-
tons with Mexico and expressed the
hope that the electric line eventually
be extended.
Ed L. Afford, of Perry, also express
sed his desire, which he said was that
Of his entire community for the ex-
tension of the electric line from Mex
leo to Perry. He also talked on the
statutes of Missouri and what changes
may be made. He is a member of the
commission appointed by Gov. Major
to recommend to the Legislature stat
utes on the books obsolete, unconsti-
tutional and useless that they might
be repealed.
A large crowd attended the lunch
con and President Fred w. Pitcher
presided.
