HASTY MARRIAGE
CURB PROPOSED
Capper Measure Also Seeks
to Make Divorce More
Difficult.
SPONSORED BY WOMEN
Constitutional Amendment Sought
to Legalize Federal Laws on
Marital Question.
SPONSORED BY WOMEN

A bill designed "to prevent hasty
and foolish marriages and to make
divorce more difficult" sponsored by
the General Federation of Women:s
Clubs; was introduced today by SEN
ator Capper, republican, Kansas. to-
gether with resolution proposing a
constitutional amendment to legalize
federal marriage and divorce laws
Marriage licenses would have to be
applied for and posted in courts two
weeks ahead of the ceremony, under
the bill, and applicants would have
to present certificates of health and
normal mentality. Girls under six
teen and boys under eighteen would
be prohibited from marriage without
parental consent, and the marriage
of feeble minded persons or of those
closely related or of different races
would be barred.
Divorces under the bill could be
obtained only for misconduct, physi-
cal or mental cruelty, abandonment
or non-support for one year. incura-
bic insanity or commission of felony
No divorce would be effective for
year.
ne Idea Is not 10 make divorCF
easier said Senator Capper in ey-
planning his bill, but to make mar
riage safer for the young. to insur.
children of the future better health
and heredity. and to prevent hasty
and ill-considered marriages.

5000 TONS RECORD
HARD COAL RECEIPT

More than 5000 tons of real, shiny
hard coal rolled into the freight
yards of Washington yesterday, the
largest twentyfour-h hour shipment
this winter.
These tidings frightened the coun-
tenance of Walter c. Allen, secretary
TO the Public Utilities Commission
fuel distributor to speed up ship
mentS to the District.
Yesterdays receipts totaled 10
cars. containing about fifty tons per
car. Washington's quota for the
winter is 1858 tons of anthracite
per week, so that the coal that ar
rived yesterday is equivalent to a
three four day allotment.
1t should be borne in mind. how
ever, that on January /, this city was
1000 tons short of the amount 1t
should have received UP to that time.
SO, while yesterdays large ship
ment will help to wipe out the deficit
il will not enable any consumer to
get more than so per cent of his nor
NAL requirements.
The Pennsylvania fuel commission
has decided that the city as a whole
shall not receive more than so per
cent of the amount of hard coal 1t
burned last winter. Hence, the same
proportion must be allotted to each
consumer.
This means that if the same amount
of fuel is needed this year as was
consumed last winter. forty per cent
of It must be made of coke, soft coal
or briquettes.
