MARRIAGE LAW REFORM

slider changes III the marriage
laws of Maryland at this session,
and that there is a real likeli-
hood Of salutary amendments.

shock the community at other
points in 4hc State are at last,
it seems, 10 receive serious at

The Grctna Green business
can be stopped as it was III
ncighboring States, by requiring
i residence qualification. Flop
ing couples from other States,
who now can come into Mary
land and be married between
trans will no longer cross the
border
So lar as the ministers OF the
State are concerned. there is a
simple explanation Of the "inar-
riage scandals" and one that APP
peals to the sense OF justice. All
of them ought not to be held re
sponsiblc for the cupidity and
bad taste or lack Of responsibility
Of a very few. But the fact re-
mains that so long as the State
law requires religious cerc-
mony scandals are unavoidable.
The church in the days Of the
past as today teaches that mar
riage is sacrament. The State
regards it only as a civil CON
tract, and Maryland occupies 4
peculiar position i'll the nation in
refusing to recognize as legal any
marriage not solemnized in the
church.
Ministers are in many in
stances lax, taking the State as
4 whole, in making returns of
marriages to the clerks of the
courts. although required by law
to do 50. The license. always
directed to a minister. and gen
orally bearing a certain name. is
practically a command to him
from the State to perform the
ceremony but, it cannot be en-
forced. Ii any minister sees ut
to exercise the courage OF his
convictions and refuse to marry
any couple he does not know or
to the marriage OF whom he is
aware OF an impeachment" he can
resist the command" OF the
State with impunity- \ law of
fcer Of Maryland has been
known to insist that the marriage

Thompson had moved his court from,

Harder Schedules
For Big EIeUens
BY HENRY w. FARRELL

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.
New York, Dec. 17.-Glory in mod
ern football is not so much a mat
ter of how many you beat as who
you beat. Ssa@I
Harvard hasn't lost game in 3
years. yet the Crimson is being ig-
nored each year when it comes to
selecting a championship eleven.
who did you beat?" the experts
ask when Harvard howls for recog-
nition
A successive string of victories
down velvet-padded road is not
convincing and the big eastern elev-
ems are beginning to realize it.
Next season will see harder sched-
ules and greater number of big
intersectional games than ever have
been arranged.
Two and perhas three teams of
the Western conferenc are coming
east, according to present plans.
Chicago is to play Princeton, llli-
nois is considering a place on the
Yale schedule, and Ohio state, the
champions, will take on some big
team in these parts.
Harvard offered the Buckeyes a
game, but refused to play in Col
umbus the following year and the
Ohio officials declined the invita-
tion. Ohio wants a big eastern
eleven to open the new million dol.
lar stadium in Columbus in 1922.
Some talk is being heard of the
Navy team there, with President
harding in the Presidential box"
The midshipmen play Pennsylvania
in Philadelphia and Princeton at An
napolis, while their rivals, the West
Point Cadets, are dickering with Col
umbia and Harvard in addition to
their annual game with Notre Dame.
Harvard plays an early game with
Centre College and also would like
to have Georgia Tech for another Sat
urday. Pittsburg cancelled relations
with Tech, so the southerners must
seek another spot for their annual
trip to the north.
rinceton, with the prospect of one
of the greatest teams that ever lay
ed in the east, is said to be plan
ming terrific schedule of big
games, dotted with intersectional con.
tests that may earn for the Tigers
the national championship.
Syracuse and Dartmouth likewise
are looking to the west for visitors
on the promise to give them re.
turn games in 1922.
Yale made no friends by cancen-
ing relations with Boston College,
a team which beat them two years
in succession. But Boston will have
no trouble getting games.

CHRISTMAS TOYS FOR
THE YOUNG AMERICANS

BY United Press.
Washington, Dec. 17.--"Wrap with
care if you care a rap says the
Postoffice Department to everybody
who is in private consultation with
Santa Claus these days. This is par
ticularly to be impressed upon those
who are telling Santa Claus about
toys for certain people, says the
American Forestry Association for.
the American toy business is a big
one and the shipment Of these toys
Is a business in itself. Thirty mil
lion feet of lumber is used every
year in the American toy business.
The question of "bucking" the foreign
made article is up to the consumer
and all he has to do is to demand
the home made article.
When the mechanical toy is taken
into consideration some idea of the
immensity of the toy business may
be gained, the American Forestry
Association adds, when you stop to
figure how many jumping jacks, for
example, can be made from thirty
million feet of lumber. Wood holds
first place in the material for toys,
because of cheapness and because
the articles of metal are not suita- |
BILE for the age of those for whom
toys are intended.
There seems to be no end to the |
kinds of things that appeal to chill
iren and the fact of the matter is
here are styles in toys just as there
IRE in other things. A war will de-
eide the run of toys for a period. |
vi of us remember the vogue of |
hings Russian and Japanese during
he war between those countries. The
World War brought to the fore again
hings like battleships and submar-
nes and guns of all kinds.
