Early Marriages Are Blamed
for Much of Nations Crime
Wave in Statement of Chi
Cago Scientist

CHICAGO. Dec. 23.-If one doesn't
want to run chances of being a
moron. one should arrange to be born
to an elderly couple. And If you do
arrange to be the offspring of per-
sons we'll along in life, your chances
for greatness are excellent. This is
the conclusion of Casper l.. Redfield,
Chicago scientist. who today an
nounced an educational campaign TO
have state legislatures enact laws
prohibiting marriage under the age
Of 81.
In a statement to the United Press.
Redfield said he had been making
his investigations for almost so years
and hopes that every state legislative
body will enact laws against we'd
lock for minors.
Last year there were 5000 mar
riaGes of couples under fifteen years
of age. "Redfield said. From this
class come the principal part of our
criminals and paupers. In twelve
states it is legal for 12-year-old girls
and 14-year-old boys to marry.
"ChiCago'S crime wave would not
have reached its present peak if mar
riage laws had been passed in Hi
nois 80 years ago.
To prove his theory that many of
the most distinctive men of history
were born of parents we'll along in
years, Redfield names Sir Francis
Bacon. Charles Darwin, James Wall.
John Wesley. Benjamin Franklin.
George Washington, Abraham Kim

war leaders have been the sons OF
young fathers, whose fathers before
them were older men. Alexander the
Great. Napoleon Bonapavte and L.

that the eldest child is lighter in
weight, dies at an earlier age and is
more apt TO become a criminal than
any other children in q family.

Acceptable Fertilizer Formulas for
Cotton

Acceptable Fertilizer Formulas for
Cotton
I. NJ. L, Torreon, Mexico,
writes: 1 wish some information
in regard to the fertilization of
cotton. ! have learned from eX-
perience that it is not necessary
for me to use nitrate of soda on
my land as the stalk will grow
to the size to carry from 60 to
125 bolls, but I believe it pays
me to use acid phosphate and
potash Which grade of phos-
phate would you advise me to
use? 1 think it will pay me to
Use the highest grade on account
OF freight charges. Also wish
advice in regard 10 the use of
potash.
Phosphoric acid doubtless is con-
cerned with fastening the maturity
of cotton This IS an element which
enables the plant to elaborate and
develop seed satisfactorily. 1t IS,
therefore. fundamental and essential
in all soils in which it may be lack
ing. Most of the soils in the south
ern part Of our country are deficient
in this element, and l presume the
soils in Mexico are also deficient
therein Hence. we feel that its
liberal and generous use in your agri-
cultural operations is both a profit
able and desirable thing. Here IN
Georgia, we find it good practice to
use formulas carrying from S 10 az
high as u per cent phosphOric acid.
As we use fertilizers at the rate of
500 to 900 pounds per acre, you
viii see that an application of 40 TO
80 pounds of available phOsphoric
acid per acre is made in most in
stances. We apply less phosphoric
acid on heavy, clay lands than on
sandy soils. In other words. the
ratio increases as the soil becomes
thinner and sander in character.
This is due to the fact that the sandy
soils contain less phosphorus. The
same practice is pursued with refer
ence 10 potash. We advise the use
Of from to per cent of this ele-
ment. In a few instances. : to S per
cent may he used 10 advantage. The
rate at which potash should be APP
piled increases as the soils become
sander and thinner. In other words,
we believe that the minimum amount
of potash to use is about fifteen
pounds per acre. though as high as
eighty pounds per acre may be used
with advantage under certain con
ditiOns.
Potash has 10 do with building up

rot go straight lacks either principle
OF intelligence. and because man
seldom ever forgives such woman
or trusts her, or finds any real hap
riness with her. And also because
oose-living woman is no III
mother for his children, and because
a woman who is taboo with other
women IS almost an insurmountable
handicap to her husband.
But beyond these objections to a
prospective son-in-law or daughter
in-law there are very few causes
that justify parents in refusing their
consent to a marriage of their chill
dren with the man and woman OF
their choice.
Certainly parents have no right to
break off match because Of a diff
ference in religion.
A man and woman who love each
ether can walk hand-in- hand along
separate paths to God. And those
who are so narrow and so bigoted
/ and so intolerant that they cannot
| concede to each other any individual
right of thought or conscience would
| quarrel just as much over politics
or pie as they do over creeds.
Nor does nationality justify par
ents in breaking off a match.

In America the wheel turns per.

generation are the truck drivers of

Nor are parents justified in for

lack of money. Ninetenths of the
women who are wearing real pearl
necklaces and riding around in

bought on the installment plan, and
took their bridal trip on street car
across town.
We have all seen too many poor

many extravagant girls turn thrifty
when it was their own money they
were spending instead of fathers,

make 1t safe to venture a predic-
ton about how any marriage will
turn out.
For, after all, the success or fail
IRE OF marriage depends on the
spirit that is put into it. If man
and woman love each other. they
can work miracles, but if they do
not love, and bring only to mar

time he slipped away to be mar
ried.
The honeymoon was spent in San
Francisco. Forgiveness was pro
nounced after they returned to Chi
cago to live.
This forgiveness was made endur'
ing after the first child came. II
was a girl-Leona. That was when
Hertz says he first woke up.
He had to work and succeed.
There we're his rarents-in-law stand
ing by with doubtful look in their
eye. And there was the girl he
loved and had married and the wee
bundle that was helpless and had
come to make them happy
An Idea Came
Hertz one day, while selling cars,
came to ponder over the many old
junks of cars that were being traded
for new machines. He decided TO
put some Of the old wrecks into con-
dition and after he had done so,
formed the first regular motor hack
company in Chicago.
Several years ago Hertz took his
first vacation. On his way home
from Europe he read in a scientific
paper that a certain shade of
orange yellow could be seen far
thest and left the greatest impress
sion.
He proposed a fleet of yellow cabs
to directors of his original taxi-com-
pany. They laughed but permitted
him to go ahead.
Chicago SHE'D at the yellow
visions bouncing down the streets
but soon the city took to the inno-
walton and Hertz twas made"
Today he has millions, fine homes
and has made a number of men
who came with him in the begin
ming rich like himself.
To his wife, Hertz attributes all
his success.
She provided him his first real
ambition.
He has realized it. And he is not
only a good husband but the best
son-in-laW in the world. The whole
family agrees on that.

Newsboy of 80 Years Ago

of Cab System Says Wife
Is Cause of It All

CHICAGO, Dec. 2O.-Many sue
cessful men can write a decalogue
on success and say:
do so and so and you'll be rich
like / am"
But John Hertz here is not like
the average successful man.
He has but one rule to win It's
q rather composite rule and he
practced it himself. It's this
Marry the girl you love and
work like the devil and then keep
on working"
Today, at As. Hertz is multi
millionaire. He's the man back of
all those yellow taXicabs you see
running about the country.
Yet, no more than 80 years ago,
Hertz was but a half-fed neWsboy
who used to sleep in Chicago door
ways in. the early morning while
waiting for the presses to turn out
their daily grist of "huXtras."
Hertz started working at 12driv-
ing a newspaper delivery wagon for
$3.50 a day Later he was a cub
rerorter on the Chicago Tribune.
Then he became a przefight man
ager
He might still have been a man
ager of prizefighters had not love
appeared in the offing. But the par
ents of the comely young lady who
had caught his fancy did not APP
prove of prizefighters nor prizefight
managers.
Became Auto Salesman
Therefore Hertz bid adieu to the
ring and set off for more desirable
worlds to conquer.
While the world was looking in
awe at the first automobiles, Hertz
surmised there was something more
respectable in the higher calling of
auto salesman than ballyhooing a
priZefiGhter.

Therefore, while it may be all right
for a French or an Italian or q
Chinese mother and father to pick
out the husbands and wives for
their children, it is all wrong for
American parents to try to select
the life partners of their sons and
daughters.
In this land of the free and home

claims the right of self-determina-
ton in the matter OF what domestic
