TO AVOID HAsTY MARRIAGES.
Kansas ChiIdrcn's Code Association 10
Go Befere LcgIsIature.

Go BefeFe Legislature.
To avoid hasty and in-advised mar
riaSes, intention of marriage should
be formally announced long enough in
advance to prevent the caprice of cir
cdmstances of the Impulse of the mo-
ment from carrying people into re-
gretabls and unhappy wed1ock. And
it should be made a mtsdemeanor not
only for the contracting parties to vio-
late the law but for the minister, JUS
tice of the peace or other official au-
thOriZcd to, solemnize maria ges, 10
disregard the law.
This is q recommendation which
probably will be made to the next leg
islature by the Kansas children's code
commission appointed by the governor.
The recommendation is contained in
a report by Wilbur n. Mason. member
of the state board of administration,
chairman of the code ommission's
committee on dependent, deficient and
delinquent children.
1T is a lamentable fact chat almost
any couple, however undesirable. can
find a minister who will perform the
ceremony if they so wish" said Mr..
Mason. ANY legislation adequate to
the demands Of dependent deficient
and delinquent children must start
! back of the Immediate conditions call
I ing for relief.
1T is. therefore, necessary that laws
be enacted and rigidly enforced to
:
birth of ehil5ren into surroundings
that almost certainly lead to depend
ency. together with various forms OF
Effectiveness and delinquency.
with this broad general principle
as a guide, the law should hedge mar
rage about with such restrictions as
will prevent hasty. ill-assorted or tran
sient marriages. The law should make
definite and exacting requirements OF
persons who propose to enter into OBJ
legations involved in marriage:

Knocks OF Chiefs Hat.
Then c.. w. Miller, 75, Old Sol.
der, Turns in His Star.
ROW OVER THE CHAUFFEUR
Sergeant Had Sent Officer to
Get Car for Matron.
Hannah Kept His Temper and
Refused to Fight:

{. w Miller 75-year=old desk ser
geant at police headquarters, slapped
George G. Hannan.s chief of police, in
the face and knocked the chiefs hat
from his bead Monday afternoon.
Then Miller walked to the city hall
and turned in his star to Mayor
Herbert J. Corwine. At the same time
he rendered his resignation to the
mayor.
The famous police car, which has
caused the police department all its
troubles in the last few weeks was to
blame for the row Monday afternoon.
Miller stated this morning that the
police matren asked for the police car
to take some women to the clinic in
the city hall for social disease. There
was no driver at headquarters, Miller
stated. and a police officer volunteered
to drive the machine.
Then. the chief appeared on the
scene. according to Miller. and up
braided the desk sergeant for diSebey-
ing orders in permitting anyone ex-
cepting the police chauffeur to drive
the car. Miller denied receiving such
orders.
Spirit of 'G3.
zone word brought on another"
Miller said this morning. and the
chief expressed doubt as to whether 1
was telling the truth"
This doubt, expressed audibly by the
fchief. was the match which kindled
the flame of anger and revived the
spirit of $50" in the heart of the old
man who wears G. Ar. badge on
the lapel of his coat. Miller slapped
the chief and told him that while in
body ne was older, his spirit and will
lingness to fight was as young as the
boys of the Thirty-fifth division in To-
peka these days.
Police officers give the chief credit
for holding his temper. He didn't
