NEW LONDON, Conn, Aprfl H.
Twenty-three to twenty-five Is the
ideal age for both men and women
to marry, said Prof. Benjamin r.
Andrews, who holds the chair OF
household economics, Columbia Uni
versity. speaking to the students
of the Connecticut College for
Women.
When people marry at thirty or
thirty-five," said Prof. Andrews.
they are apt to be too set in their
ways to adapt themselves readily
to the psychological and social re-
adjustments incidental to marriage.
ITO facilitate earlier marriages
we should create some economic
device which would tend to bring
them about. Is soon as q child
is born, girl or boy, the parents
should begin the creation of a fund
for that child's future welfare.

big game hunter, who, after a

II believe the timber wolf is the
hardest animal in the world to

The statement of Adjutant General

"The recent transfer of the oath In
fantry was a necessary incident in the
reduction of the army as prescribed
by Congress and was directed only aft
er careful consideration of the many
problems involving the most econom-

for supply, shelter and training for the
entire army within the limit of funds
available. 1t is, therefore, regretted
that your suggestion to transfer them
to another post cannot receive favor
