Too Young to Marry.

Dear Miss Fairfax: l am mar
ried woman with five children. We
are just poor people and can hardly
make a living. Ny husband works
ir the packing house and we are
paying for home. In addition to
our five children we are supporting
a 15-year-old orphan girl Her wild
owed mother was very dear friend
of mine and just before she died
four years ago l promised her that
l would care for her daughter. Now
We care for her almost as much as
one of our own children. Now, Miss
Fairfax, here is my problem. A
man 4 years old, who is a widower
with six children, the Oldest a girl
II years old and the youngest 5
wears old. wants to marry our or
phan girl. He claims that he loves
her and while | am sure that she
doesn't know what love is, she is
certainly infatuated with, him. He
is wealthy farmer ana lives in the
country. She would have lovely
home and 7 guess that he could buy
her most anything. but considering
the difference in their ages and she
being so young, do you think 1
would be doing my duty to give my
girl. She Just came to live with us
and we never even thought Of it.
Now as things are could we prevent
their marriage by with holding our
consent?
Please tell us, Miss Fairfax, what
you think our duty is to the girl
and to her dead mother, whom /
], faithfully promised I would care for
the girl. Would it be necessary to
have the girls consent in order to
adopt her now? MRS. L. d.
A girl Of 15 is too young to marry.
The difference in age between this
girl and the man is more than is
desirable, but il she were 30 and he
5S the case would be different,
though the same difference would
exist. Encourage her to wait until
she IS Is or 20. I do. not think
you would have any legal control
over the girl.
sIikc a Child"
I would like to have your advice
on this question. I have sent a
birthday card to my sister-in laws
sister for fun. But I find out now
that she did not take II for fun.
There is a married man here in
IOWn ana WTOtS d UlEtludy Sdio
addressed to her from him. She
does not like him. She asked this
man about the card and Of course
he said he did not write it. Should
I tell her 1 wrote 1t or be silent?
And then also, Miss Fairfax, I
do not care to so with boys, SO how
can I let them know. Just tell
them right out or what? l have
mapv how friends hut am like a
child Of IL and instead am II.

You seem to like to think Of your
self as childish. Better overcome 1t
or you will find yourself silly old
thing about the time you are 40.
Some women never get over the
idea that they are just like child"
and 1t Is not very becoming when
they are old enough to know better.
1t is what psychologists call ''infan-
tility."

But this is not all. Under the author
ity of those who are urging the bill
there has been prepared a book (pub-
lished at government expense) on Ma
ternity, Care and Welfare of Young
Children. This document has been
prepared by Miss Grace Meigs, Miss
Viola Paradise, Miss Helen Dart, Miss
Letitia Fyffe, Miss Dorothy Williams,
Miss Janet Geister, Miss Stella Pack
ard, Miss Mary Lane and Miss Eta
Philbrook. A companion book on in
FAINT mortality is credited to Miss
Meika Allen, Miss Melissa Farrell, Miss
Roberta Kane, Miss Elizabeth Moore,
Miss Jessie Rial, Miss Mary Van Zile
and Miss Reno Rosenberg. Still an
other companion book dealing with
rural children is by Miss Frances
Bradley and Miss Margareta William
son. Still another OF maternal NOR
tally is the work of Miss Grace Meigs,
Miss Emma Duke and Miss Viola Para
disc. From all of which it would seem
that spinsters alone are competent to
direct maternity matters.
But this is not the worst or the mat
ter. The law was framed, offered and
urged not because there is need in free
America for government supervision
of maternity, but because, as Miss La
throp put it
Germany, Austria and Hungary
early established maternity systems,
and Denmark, Norway, Russia, ST.
IBERIA, Sweden and Switzerland have
provided maternity benefits. No such
system, once undertaken, has eve
been abandoned. The tendency in
legislation has always been toward
including larger and larger groups,
toward increased benefits, and toward
the compulsory as contrasted with
the voluntary principle.

EXTRAVAGANCE, BAD HABIT

Habits are most relentless taskmast-
ers. This is especially true of bad
habits.
One of the worst of the bad habits
which got the government by the
throat during the war was extrava-
gance.
In spite of the more or less sincere
efforts to get rid of this habit during
the past two and a half years, it must
be admitted that not enough progress
has been made to be visible to the
naked eye.
One of the chief difficulties seems to
be that many of the people back home
who talk loudly of the necessity for
government economy are constantly
bringing pressure on the government,
either as individuals or as members OF
organizations, to spend large sums for
this, that or the other unnecessary
purpose.

INCOME TAX FACTS

The new requirement of the income
tax law that returns shall be made of
gross income of IS, 900 or more regard
less of the amount of net income upon
which the tax is assessed, necessitates
careful computation on the part of he
taxpayer. "Gross income" includes
practically every dollar received by
the taxpayer during the year 1921 in
salaries, wages, commissions, rents,
royalties, interest on bank deposits,
cash dividends on stock, "or income
from any source whatsoever Net
income is gross income less certain
deductions provided for by the act, in
Guiding all business expenses incurred
in the conduct of a business, trade,
profession, or vocation.
Certain expenditures, however, are
not ~deductible as a business expense
when made for the purchase of articles
more or less permanent in character,
or for permanent improvement of
property. For example, a merchant
would not be allowed to deduct the
amount expended in the erection Of a
new store, or a farmer the cost of a
new tractor or threshing machine,
since such investments are held to be
capital investments. The law ex-
pressly prohibits the deduction OF
family or living expenses, such as
rent for a dwelling, repairs to a dwell
ing, cost of food and clothing for the
family, education of children, SER
wants wages, and similar items.
Amounts spent during the year 1921
for any of these items are not de-
ductible.

cited no American authority, but for
eign notably Nine. Kallontai, of Rus
STA, an associate of Lenine, who holds:
We must removed children from the
%pernicious influence of the family. We
must register, or, let us speak plainly,
we must nationalize them. Thus, they
are from the very start under the
beneficial influence of communist
kindergartens and schools. Here they
grow up to be real communists. To
compel the mother to surrender her
children to us, to the soviet state, that
is the practical task before us.
American civilization has its weak
spots, but the remedies, if needed, must
be American, not socialistic and boil
shevistic. AS a rule the weak
nesses of the American people in time
find their own remedies, mainly be-
cause the freedom and liberty prevail
ing in this country contain the re-
straints hat may be needed. One
weakness has just found it's remedy in
the emancipation of women from po-
litical bonds that were decidedly irk-
some. They now enjoy equality with
men in our plan of self-government,
and this equality is predicated on their
being as independent of governmental
direction and supervision as men are.
They will be so independent if they
assert themselves against the coterie
of meddling old maids who, if they
were not spinsters, would be the first
to protest against this maternity law.
The thing now to do is to prevent
this law being accepted by the states.
This can be done by protesting to gov
ernors and legislators. Organizations
and individual women can write let
tiers to them disappearing acceptance
If they would prevent acceptance they
should write at once.

S75O,OOO JEWISH RELIEF CAMPAIGN
IN NEW JERSEY

Newark, Feb. Felix Fuld, chair
nan of the New Jersey Jewish Re-
lief, announced that the state execu-
tive committee has authorized an APP
peal for $750,000 to be held in this
state during the week of February 26.
This is part of the $4,000 900 campaign
now being conducted throughout the
country for relief of the war-stricken
Jews of Europe.
The national committee, of which
Louis Marshall is chairman, suggested
a quota of $600,OO for New Jersey, but
when leading Jews, representing every
county in the state, at a conference in
Newark, heard what were the condi-
tons in Europe, especially in Russia,
where much of the money is to be
used, they decided that the original
quota was not enough and tackled an
extra $150,000 to it. What is more,
they will raise the entire amount if
the enthusiasm of the state leaders is
a criterion of their willingness to work
for the success of the drive.
This is the largest amount of money
ever sought by the Jews in New Jersey
for any charitable cause. Mr.. Fuld
says that the campaign will succeed
for two reasons; first, because there
are 165 900 Jews in New Jersey whose
pride will not permit the undertaking
to fail; second, because in Europe
there is a tragedy of children, a trag-
edy of 100000 Jewish children or
phaned in consequence of the war.
Nothing more appalling has ever con-
fronted the Jews in all their long, ter
rible history. People in America will
get an idea of the extent of the child
ren's tragedy" from a comparison of
the fact that there are only 10000
Jewish orphans in the United States.
But these 10000 American Jewish or
phans are in institutions where they
are fed, clothed, sheltered and pro-
tected and given an opportunity to
become useful men and women.
There are in Europe thirty times the
number of Jewish orphans that we
have in this country" said Mr.. Fuld,
but the orphans of Europe sleep in
the fields and in the forests; they eat
roots and grass, and their last rags
are dropping away from their bodies
"The only sad feature is that we
have to hold this campaign, the money
should have been forthcoming without
an appeal. This is a cause which
touches our pride, but if in any com
munity of New Jersey there is not the
right response we will appeal to oul
Gentle friends and raise that com.
munity's quota"
The only community quota that has
been announced is that of Newark
where the local committee decided
upon $500 600, an advance of $4,000
over the suggested goal.
Most of the leading Jews of the stat
| are serving on the state executiv
, committee, many of them %voluntaril.

(From the Williamsport Grit
There has been passed by Congress
and signed by the President a measur
known as 1.-THE Child Welfare" law.
While a Federal law, it is operative in
such states as accept it. States accept
the legislative action. AS the measure
before made law was approved by
"a governors, it may be well for the
people to understand just what "The
Child Welfare law is.
What the law is called and what il
really is are two different things,
What the law is is indicated by its
provisions. The law provides forced
registration of pregnancy, compulsory
governmental prenatal examination OF
expectant mothers, legal interference
regarding the employment of a mid
wife or a physician, and superior gov
ernmental rights in the rearing and
training of a child. Thus, the law
provides governmental invasion of the
home and the msot private and sacred
rights of life, also inspection and in
~termeddling when the mothers desires
should have free exercise. This is the
Maternity" law, so called, a law that
it's proponents and advocates will now
endeavor to have accepted by the sew
eral states.
This measure was advocated by al
organization dominated by unmarried
women working through the children'F
bureau, which is constituted as fol

Every Man Should Own
His Home

The home owning instinct is as old as
man. The first task of the early settler was
to clear a tract and build a home. In those
far-gone days every man owned his home
there were no renters-home ownership was
an essential to standing in the community.
Time has passed but standards have not
greatly changed. The man with a home Of
his own is still the most respected in his
community. His neighbors, his acquaintance,
his employers or business associates regard
his possession of a home as an indication of
sound judgment, foresight, thrift. He is a
man to follow-this man who owns his home.
Resolve now to own a home, first.
