PRUDEN LONDON LOVERS DEFER THEIR MARRIAGE
 TILL LEASE IS SIGNED

LONDON, Nov. 14.-The average marrying age in London has risen from the pre-war figure of 12 for bridegrooms and 20 for brides, to between 32 and 28 for bridegrooms and 27 to 27 for brides. A registrar explained this as being largely due to the dearth of suitable small hous- es or flats. He says couples will wait suitable opportunity of obtain ing some place to live before marry ing
 I have had cases of people taking out license," this registrar told an interviewer, land not marrying at the time arranged on account of the accommodation they hoped to get being taking by someone able to pay higher rate. These couples, by paying two shillings every three months, have kept their license valid so that they can marry at once if they wish.

SPORTS ARE SCORED
 BY BRITISH DOCTOR

LONDON, Nov. 13.-The British public golfs too much and eats too much, according to Dr. Leonard Will Hams, a Harley Street specialist and a corresponding member of the American Climatalogical Society
 As for golf, the game has a bad moral effect, according to the phys ician. "A man loses his match" says Dr. Williams, "and, as a re- suit, is unhappy about it, is dis gruntled, is bad tempered. His thoughts are on the next game which he VOWS he will win And too often he is discontented until na does win.'
 "The way the English take their food is almost as disturbing to Dr. Williams as the way they take their golf Tt is not realized Dy the public that it takes as much energy to digest an English meal as it does to take a five mile walk. Peo- rle eat far too much The day is started with a heavy breakfast; a full meat lunch follows; then there is tea, accompanied by scones and cakes; and finally there is dinner, running to several courses. This is far more than can be properly di- gested.
 Tt would be saner and healthier to start with a Continental break fast, and follow it with light lunch. Tea should be cup of tea and nothing more. Dinner then could remain what it is."

Many Deaths Among
 British Aviators Deeply
 Concerns Government

LONDON, Nov. 13-Since the be- ginning of the present year there have been 5S deaths among officers and men of the Royal Air Force di- rectly due to accidents to machines. Considerable anxiety is occasioned by such large number of fatali- ties to the personnel of the youngest arm of national defense, and the Aeronautical Research Committee is urging that steps be taken immed- iately to lessen the losses due to lack of technical knowledge among members of the force. All of the experts declare the skill of British pilots cannot be questioned
 The Aeronautical Research Com mittee last year emphasized the need for a higher standard of technical knowledge in all ranks of the Royal Air Force and particularly among report they note with satisfaction that the Air Council agrees with them.
 But a general raising of the stanrNard of technical knowledge, 2 the committees report declares, must take time Meanwhile acci- dents which, in the view of the committee are primarily due to the absence of this knowledge, continue to occur Many machines are de stroyed, while in some cases lives are lost. The committee has felt it to be within their province to urge any steps that might reduce such losses"
 heronautical experts are prompt to Suggest, as the real remedy for present defects, that the Royal Air Force be equipped with machines that will not stall, machines which, when they get to the stalling point, will simply glide forward and sink lat.
 ITO provide the remedy may mean he expenditure of money" said one observer, but you have either supply an elementary training machine that is foolproof or go on with the present method with it's oss of life?"
