ChiIdren's Code Commission
Would Alter State Constitution.
Both Bear ON Marriage Rela-
tions in Kansas.
WOULD Be HARDER TO MARRY
One Amendment Would Re-
quire a Physical Examination.
Another Demands Notice of In
tentiOn to Marry.

Two amendments under considera-
ton by the state children's code COM
mission for presentation to the 1928
legislature are exciting considerable
interest One would require a regis
tration of intention to marry by both
contracting parties in the probate
court ten days before a marriage IL
cense may be issued. The other
amendment to the marriage laws
which may be introduced would re-
Quire a physical examination of both
parties before marriage.
The first mentioned amendment,
according to Mrs. H. Mayfield, execu-
tive secretary of the children's code
commission, is intended to cut down
the number of runaway marriages and
'tthoughtless unions which take place
on the impulse of the moment"
when the marriage and divorce
court records are studied" Mrs. May
field said, cit is obvious that some
thing is wrong. From July, 1920. to
July 1921, there were 21, 07S marriage
licenses issued in Kansas. During the
same period, 4,191 divorces were
granted This means that one out OF
every five marriages was failure.
Prevention Best Remedy.
"An eminent child welfare special
list has said that it is better, more
a prevention of unwise marriages
than thru Tightening up the divorce
laws. Prevention is less expensive
than cures"
Thru the amendment requiring
physical examination, Mrs. Mayfield
explained, it will be possible to enforce
the present laws forbidding the mar
riage of the feeble-minded, insane and
epileptic
These laws now are practically
dead letter on the statute books" she
said, "as there is no person provided
for in the law responsible for their
enforcement. The new law would
provide that the certificate would
show the applicant was free from
these inherited diseases which pro-
duce an inferior race.
1.-The certificate would also show
that the successful applicant was free
from communicable diseases at the
time of his or her marriage. Many
pitiful stories are told of suffering,
broken homes, and handicapped chill
dren born as result of marriage
when transmissible. disease is present.
As a protection to the race it is the
duty of each citizen to feel a personal
responsibility to his or her partner and
to their children.
s Are People YetsReady?
THE advisability of introducing this
bin at this session of the legislature
is under consid eratiorl. The difficult
ties of administration are great. Arc
the people as whole yet ready for
lit? The club women of the state
would render a great service to the
state, If each club would study the
question and develop first a feeling
of personal responsibility in all mem
bers as a solid foundation of public
opinion on which the law could be
built Mrs. Mayfield concluded.
The preliminary report of the chill
dren's code commission, discussing all
the bills under consideration, may be
had in any number by writing to the

To those who are interested in char
acter study, the lobby of the Central
Y. M. c. A. offers an unlimited field.
All types OF persons from the pros
porous and successful merchant or
banker to the striking or unemployed
day laborers are seen daily in the
lobby.
The unemployed men are the first
to be seen at the 2. NJ. C. A in the
morning. They go into the reading
room to find the latest news on the
employment situation or assemble in
the situation. These men are always
on the lookout for any sort of employ
ment that the association secretary
can find for them.
At 1880 o'clock members of the
noon volleyban teams begin to ar
rive. This group includes many of
the prominent physicians, lawyers,
merchants and bankers of Topeka. In
half an hour these men are no longer
stern looking bank presidents or
their ability on some problem; they
are a group of happy overgrown boys
running around the gymnasium and
bubbling over with pep and enthu-
siasm. For forty-five minutes these
men play series of volleyban games
and then they return to their offices.
The Cafeteria Line.
When the IL o'clock whistle blows,
office clerks stenographers and busi-
ness men fill the lobby and form a
line in front of the cafeteria room. In
this line is the pretty young stenog-
rapher who just can't wait to be
because she has an appointment with
because she has an appointment with
a beauty specialist at 1880 o'clock to
have a permanent wave put in her
hair. Another : known character
in line is the dance hound He
just can't keep his feet still when
there is a jazz record on the Victrola.
He shuffles back and forth and does
all the dance steps possible in his
limited space.
Sitting in an easy chair where he
can watch the-line is an old gentle
man who seems to know everyone.
He can tell you a little story about
every one in the lir-e. He is so reg
ular in his noon visit to the lobby that
you could regulate your watch by his
arrival.
In the dormitories there is another
assortment of interesting types" The

Lawrence, Kan, July 22.-One of
the hardest problems a football coach
has to face will confront George
''Potsy'' Clark this fall when he goes
onto the gridiron with the University
of Kansas eleven.
The university plays the Army at
West Point October z, and since the
Missouri valley rules do not allow
Coach Clark on the field before Sep
tember Is, only the hardest kind of
the handicap.
Captain Higgins is keeping in touch
with his men this summer, and they
are doing all they can to keep in
grilling training that will open the
season, and for the long railroad trip
to West Point. The team, according
to members of the coaching staff, is
in nearly as fine trim as it was when
the season ended with the Thanks
giving game.
Spring practice was unusually sue
cessful, developing some new ma
terial, and keeping in training the
standby members of the team. Among
positions on the 1922 team are Black
and Griffin at end and Higgins and
Davidson at guard.
In the back field, Wilson will prob
ably work as quarterback; McAdams
and Kruger will be halfbdcks and
Spurgeon will appear again at full
back Andy Mcdonald, who starred
last year at end, will be a strong con-
tender for quarter this year. John
Lonberg. brother of Dutch" Lonberg
of Valley fame. is expected to make
a strong bid for center.
Emerson Norton, freshman, and
promising track material. will also be
a strong contender for a position in
the line. He played little football
while at Central high in Kansas City,
Mo-. but was out for spring practice
since entering the university.

that plying to Antwerp, for first, Sec
ond and third-class traffic, with stops
at Plymouth and %Cherbourg. Slightly
smaller than the Liverpool ships,
these vessels have a slightly lower
rate; but their service and cooking
are famous.
Do not forget that Europe has
Southern gateways as we'll as North
ern. The first is Gibraltar (by ferry
to Algeciras for Spain). In Italy
are Naples and Genoa-well patron
lied entrances to her charms. There
is a good service from both New
York and Boston to these ports; the
steamers are not quite SO large as
those Of the North Atlantic routes;
but in the winter seasons the pros
pect Of a smooth voyage is more as
sured. An additional attraction Is
added in the fact that most, II not
all Of these steamers by the Southern
routes make an intermediate stop
either at the Azores or at Madeira.
A recent ruling obtained by the
steamship companies makes It un-
necessary to have Portuguese visas
for the stop at these mid-Atlantic
islands.
Still these ships are by no means
the minimum. So-called cabin class
ships ply between, New York, Boston,
Philadelphia or Canadian ports to
Liverpool, Plymouth or German
ports. They are somewhat slower
craft, but steady and staunch, and
Of generous size-say 10000 to 1900
tons-and they render excellent SER
vice. Old transatlantic travellers
have a tremendous fondness for them.
College professors and school teach
ers, in particular, demand them, and
upon them one gets a minimum cabin
passage rate Of about Sl25, which IS
cheap for the value given, being four
cents a mile, or whereabouts, With food
and lodging included.
Railroad Faru abroad
Comparing your ocean fare with
that of American railroad travel you
will find 1t cheap. In the United
States We are paying $40 a mile anG
about a cent more a mile for Pull
man charges of course without
meals.
Railroad rates abroad vary. In
:. Germany, to an American, who buys
marks, and then buys tickets with the
. marks, they are ridiculously cheap.
In England and Scotland you will
pay practically six cents a mile, first
class; three cents, third class (second
has become almost extinct in the
British Isles). In France you will
pay barely more than two cents a mile
for first-class travel, and there, as in
Great Britain, the service offered In
that class is the equivalent of our
Pullmans. The French second-class
and third-class services are pro-
|, %portionately cheaper than the fnt,
!, but at the present low rates Of e1-
=. change, second is not a necessity,
. while third. save in rare cases, Is
. hardly to be recommended to the
: clearly American passenger. The
: rates in Switzerland, in Spain, in
!. Italy, and elsewhere upon the Cont
: nent are ranged today variously be
: tween those of France and Great
!. Britain.
