WHO IS FIT?

TINE Iowa bureau of child welfare lists
i 100000 Iowans who are ineligible TO
marry These include the inmates of
insane asylums, and all others whom the
board knows to be unfit for marriage"
If the last classification means what 1t
says, the list is too short. Not medically,
perhaps; but humanity.
Who is fit for marriage?
Certainly not the selfish, the inconsider-
ate, the stupid, the lazy, the moody or
the unclean.
Not those who cannot have n difference
of opinion without quarreling over it. Not
those who stand too rigidly for their own
way. or yield too weakly TO the others.
Not the too intense nor the too placid
those who measure marriage wholly by
happiness or wholly by duty; those who
are too alike or too unhke-not, in fact,
most of us.
Indeed, it is doubtful if anybody is fit
for marriage but the angels - and they
don't.
For us. we must get along as best we
can. And, considering the unpromiSing
nature of most of the material, we do sur
prisingly well.

TOO DANGEROUS

ONE weapon of war is too dangerous
" to use against even rats. That is dis
ease.
The California board of health has
vetoed a proposition to combat rats by
spreading disease among them. Theoreti-
cally, if some disease could be found to
which rats were susceptible, but to which
human beings and all useful animals were
immune, that would be an ideal way of
getting rid of mans smartest and most
persistent enemy.
But the health authorities hold that not
enough is known of diseases to be sure
that even the rattiest of rat diseases might
not spread pestilence elsewhere. So the
rats will be shot, drowned, smothered,
poisoned, starved and trapped, but not
infected.
