EARLY MARRIAGES FAIL
Girl, 10, and Brother, 16, Prove
Parents Were Wrong.
marrying Burches" of Kansas City,
Advocates of Early Unions, Dis
iIlusioned by Experience of
TWO of Family

Kansas City, Kan.-Early marriage
is losing one of its greatest supporters,
the marrying Burch family of this
city. Mrs. Burch says that times are
changing and maybe it is better to
wait longer Her four married chill
dren all went to the altar before they
were sixteen, but two of the weddings
have turned out unhappily. Goldie,
who married last year when thirteen
years old is home seeking a divorce,
and John, who is sixteen, and mar
ried a thirteen-year-old girl, is also
suing for separation.
1t was hard blow to the early mar
riage theory of Michael and Rhoda
Burch, who eloped when Rhoda was
sixteen, and it is believed that the
experience will hold back the marriage
of the younger children. Michael
Burch, minister and stone-mason,
whose home is also built to be used
as a chapel on Sunday, had consid-
cred his children of manageable age
when they reached their teens.
Flossie, Oldest daughter, married
when fifteen years old at the altar in
the home chapel. She has several
children, and like Pearl, who married
at fourteen, has been very happy.
Their parents have pointed with pride
to these examples of the success Of
early matrimony.
Then, John, sixteen, and neighbor
%b;rtoo,1 uroro NOR Gnldfo
thirteen, said she was old enough to
wed, too, and she became the wife of
Jerry Hines, twenty-one. But these
two marriages did noe endure like
those eff Flossie and Pearl
Goldie, not yet fourteen. is home
with her baby because she could not
live happily with her husband, and
John blames his wife's relatives for
his marital troubles.

Country schools should be com1nu-

Comings of Wisconsin. The school
should provide not only classrooms
but an auditorium, a home for the
teachers and a garage where auto

repaired by the rural schoolboys un-

Lewis Manufacturing Com
pany Experiment Proves
Success Here

Combining the building operations
of a number OF clients and saving
individual costs by cooperative
buying is the plan recently inau-
gurated by Guy s. Zepp, local
manager of the Lewis Manufacture
ing Company.
He reports gratifying results and
unusual satisfaction among those
who have entered into the plan.
With this new idea a number
Of home builders pool their opera
tons to this extent, that instead
Of having a plumbing or heating
or other subcontractor give an
estimate on an individual house,
they solicit these estimates on q
number of houses at the same time.
Where the estimates for building
a single house has been $10,00 and
$11 900, by combining the same
house with a number Of others on
the cooperative plan, this cost
has been reducted as low as $4,000
and $500.
Mr.. Zepp reports a new high
record in the sale of Lewis Homes
for March and the first of April
indicate that this month will break
the March record considerably.

REALTY.
Directors a n d Advisers
Boards Hold Spring SEES
sion in Chicago.

The board of directors and ad-
visory board of the National Asso'
citation of Real Estate Boards held
its spring meeting in Chicago.
April Is and Ia. This group OF
national realtors, comprised OF all
officials and directors. is the gov
erning body OF the National Asso.
citation OF Real Estate Boards, and
holds periodical meetings in between
the annual conventions for the pur'
pose Of formulating policies and adj
ministering the work of the National
Association.
One of the principal items disposed
of at this meeting was the adoption
Of the final program for the annual
convention, to be held in Cleveland,
June 27-30. Usually the programs
of these conventions are prepared
by special committee appointed by
the board in the city in which the
convention is held Matters to be
discussed in convention, as well as
the educational phase Of its program,
are always passed upon by the gov
erning body.
At the last meeting Of the direc.
tors, held In Jacksonville in January,
the plan of creating separate divi-
sions of the National Association was
adopted. Under this plan are
grouped several sections intended to
develop specialized information and
service to meet the needs OF the va
rious phases of real estate practice.
Separate sections have been created
for farm lands, mortgage and financ-
ing, home builders and subdividers.
industrial properties, brokerage and
property management.
The chairTnen OF these different
groups are in charge of developing
the activities of the National Assoc
citation along specialized lines and
also viii be in charge of the sections
Of the annual convention that deal
with their specific problems.
1t is possible under the new ar
rangement to provide at the annual
conventions a series of formal dis
cussions on these particular and spe-
cialized subjects, SO that the realtors
In attendance at the convention may
participate in such portions of the
convention as are planned for the
particular benefit Of the members
engaged in specialized lines.
