OF course YOU must not marry a
man of whom YOU know absolutely
nothing. II you don't know whether
to put confidence in him or not. that
is probably because a wise little sem
tinel down in YOUR own soul is warn
ing you against him. I regard a IL
year-old girl as really too young for
marriage. l regard this case as one
i'm which you do not really love. You
see, YOU are thinking about your fine
position and hesitating to sacrifice
material things for the sake of this
man. Now find the sum total of every
argument against the marriage. Here
YOU have doubt of the man. plus your
own youth, plus your unwillingness
to sacrifice for him, plus your uncer-
tainty whether he Is free to marry at
all. So of course you won't make a
marriage which offers so little chance
of happiness.

Captain Turicy Ready to Enforce
Robinson Law Compelling all
to be at Work

~ Special Correspondent.
TOTTENVILLE, May 15:-Police
Captain John j. Turley, Of the Six
tieth precinct station, Tottenville,
under orders from Commissioner En-
right, has begun preparations for en-
forcing the Robinson law signed by
Governor Whitman the first of the
week which requires every male per-
son between the ages of eighteen and
fifty to work during the duration of
the war. This applies to all, both
rich and poor alike, and q general
the city who are not at work and can
give no satisfactory place of employ
ment will be taken in charge by the
police.
They will be arraigned before a
magistrate and will be either sent to
some place to find work or IT, not so
inclined to work will be locked up.
Captain Turley does not fear any
trouble here because there is hardly
any between the ages Of eighteen and
nifty that are not at work doing some
thing in the plants hereabouts. New
ertheless the police will keep a sharp
lookout for any offenders that may
come this way from the thickly popu-
lated sections of the city that will try
to make their escape through this
way to evade the law. Many came
from New Jersey. it is said, when the
same law was passed in that state
some time ago and it is thought that
they will attempt to go back across
that state to get to other places where
the law Is not in vogue.

lore Justice of the Peace William e.
PaXton, at borough hall on Tuesday
morning. the justice gave a verdict of
no cause for action and levied the
costs Of the case against Mrs. William
lawson, of Spotswood, who had
made the charges against James
Johnson and son Russell. Witnesses
1or Mrs. Dawson testified that John
son mad assaulted Mrs. Dawson with
out cause but evidence brought out by
witnesses for johnson showed that
instead of Johnson being the aggres-
sor, he was really a good Samaritan
as he was engaged in rescuing a cat
from beneath the Dawson porch af-
ter Mrs. Dawson was charged with
lll-treating the feline. This took place
on January and no action was taken
until Tuesday, which show that spite
was at the bottom of the case as
Johnson as town marshal had been
instrumental in sending Dawson to
jail. Witnesses for the complainant
were Mrs. John l.. Soden, Miss Edna
Rigler and Miss Evelyn Dawson. For
Johnson Mrs. Joseph Brenner was the
main witness and Russell johnson. a
