Want Weddings Legalized
Couples Ask Law Validating
Aldermanic Ceremonies

Albany, March 9.-The recent de-
cision OF the Court Of Appeals valid
ating common law marriages has
caused such commotion in Westches-
ter County that Senator Slater to-day
introduced bill legalizing marriages
performed by certain aldermen in that
county within the last year.
In 1916 law was enacted providing
that aldermen did not have the right TO
solemnize marriages. but Westchester
County aldermen did not become aware
of Il until later. the consequence being
that many couples were joined in mat
rimony by them. which unions would
come under the head OF common law
marriages.
Having gone through what they con-
slider tho proper ceremony. the couples
objected TO being known as parties TO
q common law marriage, valid or not,
and at their request Senator Slater in
q oduced his bill.

J. P. Morgan
Insures Life
For S2,5OO,OOO
New York Life Underwrit-
ing Biggest Personal Pol
icy Ever Issued

J. P. Morgan is having his life in
sured for s2,5OO,OOO, the largest per-
sonal policy ever taken out in America.
The New York Life Insurance Com
pany is underwriting the risk on the
bankers life. but, as is customary when
the amount sought is in excess of the
total any company is entitled by law to
carry, it is being distributed among
more than eighteen other companies
under the reinsurance plan.
While neither Mr. Morgan nor Off
cials of the insurance company would
discuss the policy. it is said that il
was taken out By Mr.. Morgan as an
Offset to the state Inheritance tax.
Larger Business Policies
There have been larger policies is
sued for business reasons, such as pro-
tecting business interests against de-
probation through the loss of a guild
ing personality by death, but, so far as
is known, no one person carries a
straight life policy in excess of that
taken out BY Mr.. Morgan. The business
interests OF Rodman Wanamaker are
protected By S4.OO0,OOO against his
death, but this will not go to members
of his family save as stockholders in
the business.
The only other man prominent in
the financial district who is known TO
carry insurance in excess of $l,0O0,000
is Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the
National City Bank. About a year ago
Mr.. Nanderlip took out an additional
policy for 100000. making his total
more than sl.5000OO.
The late Thomas l.. Shevln. of Min
neapolls, the famous football star, was
the most heavily insured young man
IN this country. His policies totalled
81 .525.OOO and the money paid out by
lie and accident companies at his
Death was greater than all that paid
as result of the sinking of the Ii
tanic.
An Excellent Risk
Il is understood that one member Of
Mr.. Morgan's family will be named
beneficiary under the policy. The in
surance experts who have considered
the inancier's prospects of life regard
him as an excellent risk. Although he
is fifty years old, his strength and
soundness of constitution we're dis
played when he recovered from an as
sassin's bullet which passed through a
vital part of his body.
1t is said that the policy is for
straight life insurance, with an annual

81 Am a Movie Actress, y
Child of IL Tells Court,
Answering Charge
She Hires Private utor
Six Other Children in One
Family Show They Earn
$50 a Day in Films

There's more in playing hooky these
springish days than meets the casual
eye, as was evident yesterday when the
case Of Maxine Elliott Hicks. twelve
years old, was called before Magistrate
Appleton in the Municipal Term Court.
The Board Of Education was the COM
plainant, and it complained that Maxine
had been absent from school for TWEEN
ty-nine days. Maxine did not deny the
charge, but told Magistrate Appleton
that she was to busy to attend school.
What are you doing, my child -
asked Magistrate Appleton, kindly.
Maxine is not used to being addressed
as "my child and she stiffened bit.
"Why. / am an actress" she replied.
Il am IN the films with Mary Pickiord.
Maxine Makes $50 a Week
Here Maxine's mamma, Mrs. Marga-
ret Hicks. who lives with her daughter
at 361 West Fifty-fifth Street, cut in
with the explanation that her daughter
had been on the stage for three years
But the movies lured her, Mrs. Hicks
explained, from the footlights. Mrs.
Hicks satisfied the court that her
daughter was studying with private
tutor and was above grade in academic
knowledge.
"My daughter joined Miss Pickford's
company because she was offered $50 a
week" said Mrs. Hicks. after she had
finished the picture william a. Brady,
for whom she had been working before
on the stage, sent for her. Maxine is
getting just exactly what ] always
wanted. ! wanted TO go on the stage
when | Yves child. but never did.
When my little girl wanted to go on
the stage | made up my mind that she
should have her chance, and she is
making good"
Another truant over whom the Board
Of Education worried is Madge Evans,
seven years old, daughter of Mrs.
Maude Evans, of 1G West l0lst Street.
Mrs. Evans assured Joseph l.. Coppin-
ger, division supervisor of attendance,
that her little girl was doing well for
one of her tender years, drawing $50 a
week from a moving picture concern.
Little Madge car afford to have pri-
vate school of her own. She pays a
gray haired teacher modest salary TO
instruct her in reading and writing and
arithmetic.
Six Players in One Family
Then there is Albert Marion Ewitt,
who with his FIVE brothers and sisters,
all his juniors, has been absent from
Public School 60 for ever so long. When
Miss J. ID. Miner, assistant secretary Of
the New York Child Labor Committee,
called on the Ewitt family she was in
formed that Albert Marion and his five
brothers and fisters were earning a
matter of $50 day for their parents
and that the children could afford TO
pay one tenth of their daily income for
teacher, who called at the house TO
give them instruction.
Miss Miner said that few weeks ago
237 children Of compulsory school age
had received permits from the school
authorities to act in film studios. She
said the number was probably bigger,
as great many went daily to studios
in New Jersey, where there is no law
regulating the employment of children
in screen plays, and no public record
kept Of infant actors and actresses.

COUNTY AGENT.
A Farmers Dream.
Ed. Times:

Ed. Times:
While there are about one per cent
of the farmers on the North Side
tract who have through experience
come to observe certain truths in
some lines of farming. The other
ninety-nine per cent are failures In
their farming because they are not
able to take observations and come
TO a scientific understanding.
The county agents business will be
to exclude chance from production of
farm products. Often people ask If
a county agent has made a success of
farming. That is If the agent has
farmed and saved enough to satisfy
the internal desires by external cir
cumstances.
1t is the same as asking a doctor
If he is able to doctor. The doctor
proves truth by applying an abstract
theory In a concrete way. So we
ask the agriculturist II he ia an ex-
ponent of agricultural knowledge
proved by the government and adop-
ted by scientific farmers. Whether
we like the agent himself or not So
cially, we should accept this scienti-
hc proof that has been gathered by
our government, paid for by you and
all taxpayers.

Care of the Sow at narrowing Time

| 1Hre Oh the SOW at narrowing Time.
II Why does the farmer save only
fifty TO sixty-five per cent of the pigs
narrowed in the spring? This ques-
ton Is at all times paramount With
the producer and especially is this
true when hogs are selling for fifteen
cents per pound. on the open mar
kets. With this question in view,
the following suggestions are offered
to help the farmer solve this impor-
tant problem
The most important factor tending
toward a higher per cent loss Is i'm
proper housing. Before narrowing.
the quarters should be thoroughly
cleaned and disinfected. This pre-
caution will materially reduce the |
canker sore mouth trouble so COM
mon among small pigs, and lessons
the danger from internal and exter-
nal parasites. See to the quarters
that they are dry, and provide sufi-
cient bedding to keep the SOW off the
bare floor, but not enough to allow
her to make deep nest Provide a
fender around the pen to prevent
the SOW from lying on the pigs. A
strip of 2X6 fastened to the wall
about six inches from the floor will
serve this purpose very well.
Next in Importance. and if care
ully studied, will help materially in
he solution of the problem, IS the
aeding OF the SOW before and after
irrowing. If you have some roots.
ich as mangles, carrots, sugar beets.
C., that are not frozen, be sure to
axe use of them in your rations. |
ne roots will tone the system and
duce the usual troubles at farrow- |
g time to minimum For the
st results, the SOW should receive
OTIS some weeks before narrowing II
ne. A small amount OF grain |
ould be fed in connection with the |
OTIS Do not feed the SOW anything l.
cept warm water for at least "a 7
'urs after narrowing. At the end
this period, feed her some thin
ops, the solid part composed OF
an or shorts. Get her back TO full
ed gradually A heayey feed soon
ter narrowing often times causes
digestion which will result In i'm ihi
action and probably the loss of the me
ow. Many sows become mig no
aters" as result of heavy feeding SCI
90 soon after narrowing. M
The following mixture should be or
before the SOW at all times:
100 lbs Stacked coal.
lbs. air Stacked lime.
? lbs. common salt.
l ID. EPSON salts.
Sprinkle over this mixture a solu- -
ton made by dissolving lbs. of =
