American Girls Who Marry Young.

The census bureau finds that hun
dreds of American girls in every twelve
months are married at fifteen. Thou
sands annually are married at sixteen.
Out of every 100 women in this coun-
try eleven have married before pass
ing nineteen. In New England (ac-
cording to the census data) only one
woman in fifteen gets an acceptable
proposal before she is twenty. In the
south, the desirable man offers himself
to one out Of five or one out of six
girls of nineteen or under. 1t is shown
by the census that young woman's
chance of offers is decidedly better in
q rural community than anywhere
else.

ever, has any attempt been made to
compile an exhaustive list of holidays
for the guidance of bankers and mer-
chants. This task has just been COM
pleted by the Guaranty Trust Com
pany of New York City.
Contrary to the popular notion, the
new democracies of the west enjoy a
greater number of holidays than their
sister nations OF the eastern hemi-
sphere. Of the 81 nations or depend
encies listed Brazil leads, with 81 holt
days. The United States, with "a, is
a close second, although she, unlike
Brazil, practically ignores the church
days. Another popular deluSion is
shattered when we find that France
has only Is formally observed days
and Italy only %. We had supposed
the Latins always outdid us in this
particular. Among the other belliger-
ents Germany, it is presumed, will OBJ
serve 20 days next year, Great Brit
ain Is, Japan Is and Russia IT.
The United States has no national
holiday. Acts of Congress and Presi-
dents announcements in this respect
apply only to the District of Columbia
and the territories
Among the favOrite months of holi-
days the world over November leads,
with 26 out of its possible 80 days.
May comes next, with % and an addi-
tional Sunday not otherwise celebrat-
ed, thus actually tying November in
+hn number of DAVIS closed to h11c;noce
March, on the other hand, is the long
est all around business month, having
only 10 holidays.
New Years Day is the only holiday
universally observed. But, alas, it falls
on IL different dates in different parts
of the globe, and some countries OBJ
serve more than one of them.
Christmas Day. due to its religious
significance, is not so generally OBJ
served as New Years Dav. II has
moreover. only three different dates.
