IDEAL AGE TO MARRY.

What is the ideal age to marry? The recently issued British
statistical review Of the registrar general shows that q for girls
and "a for men are the years at which the largest number OF mar
riages take place in England. These are the average ages for both
sexes but the report indicates that marriage among the middle and
professional classes generally occurs later in life. The fact that
the laboring class S the majority explains the low average. An-
tborities generally seem to regard these ages, q and "a, as the
most suitable for marriage. Commenting upon the official report,
Dir. Marie Slopes, of London, says: II think 1t IS the misfortune
of the middle classes that, owing to their professional duties, and
training, they cannot marry at the right and proper age.
The same conditions, without doubt, exist in America. 1t IS
among the working population here, as IN England, that early
marriages. resulting in the largest families, occur. This is owng'
to a great extent, to the longer educational training needed Tor the
professions and for business. College statistics, gathered IRON
a1nmni reports. have for years shown a tendency among graduates
10 we'd late in life. Youths who enter the trades, after a brlet ap-
premiership, are in a much better position to wed early. They are
earning a wage, often from the beginning and, what IS oil mueh
more Importance in reaching a decision, feel that their status IN
life is fixed, while the young doctor, or young attorney, must spend
several years in building up a practice.

CLEAR THE HIGHWAYS

The State Highway Commission has taken a step in the right
direction in starting proceedings against gasoline filing station
operators who are e~ncroaching on the boundaries of state high
WAYS. At the same time action should be taken against the re-
freshment stands so numerous along the roads OF the state which
tend to add greatly to the congestion of traffic. Erected along
the most important trunk highways of the state where auto traffic
is the heaviest, these places, located so near the roadways, cause a
string Of cars to be parked almost on the highway, resulting IN
serious traffic delays, near accidents and general confusion.
Gas filing stations and refreshment stands should be located
far enough from the roads so that cars could be parked without
congesting traffic in any way. The roads of the state in most
eases are too jammed with vehicles to allow this condition, which
is growing more serious each year, to continue. In taking the mat
ter up with the attorney general with the idea of getting re-
straining orders to enjoin these places from operating on state
roads, the Highway Commission has made a wise move and will
receive the support of the motoring public in general.
