REFORMS NEEDED IN
 MARRIAGE LAWS
Investigation Shows All States
 to Be at Fault

New York, April S,--There Is need for important reforms In the marriage laws and their administra- ton, either or both, In practically every state in the United States, &C., copding to a l5O-page report on Child Marriages" issued here to- day by the Russell Sage Foundation as the result of a several years in- vestigation extending into 90 cities In practically every section of the country,
 The report which was prepared by Mary E. Richmond, under whose direction the study was conducted. with the collaboration of Fred S. Hall. takes the position that at this stage reforms must be effected state by state. It calls upon associations of parents, women's organizations, school authorities, ministerial asso- ciations, social workers, legislators and others interested in the problem of child marriage, to undertake the following ten steps toward a solution ] Ol llllS pIuDltli'
 1.-Work toward a reasonable and enforcement minimum mar riageable age law; the minimum for girls should be at least 16; In many states it is still 12.
 2.-Procure in states which now are without it law requiring five days advance notice of intention to marry; such law is now in opera ton in eight states.
 S.-Put the marriage market town out of business; there are at least 40 notorious Gretna Greens where the exploitation and commercializa- ton Of marriage are responsible for numerous child marriages.
 4.-Through cooperation with ad- joining states discourage nasty mar riages across the state border, where out t-of-town marriages are railroad ed through either at the license of fee or the justice of the peace of fee, or both.
 5-Know the work of your license issuers, so that the difficulties with which they are now contending single -handed may be brought 10 light, and that they may be encour- aged to use the discretion which the laws of many states now empower them to exercise.
 6-Destroy the fee system; in so far as the system of fees in lieu Of salaries to license issuers survives, it interferes with the disinterested character of their service.
 7.-Strengthcn requirements as 10 proof of age of applicants for mar riage licenses: at present no proof of age is required in most marriage license offices and the practice of &C., cepting affidavits leads to falsifica- ton by applicants and sometimes by their parents, making possible the marriage of children Ii, 12, 13 and 14 years of age.
 S.-Substitute better evidence ot age for affidavits; no other form ot evidence is so unsatisfactory. Aside from birth and baptismal certif1- cates, 16 other forms of documen- tary evidence of age are suggested in the report.
 s.-Require both applicants for marriage license to appear in per
