MARRIAGE OF MINORS
ATTACKED IN ILLINOIS

CHICAGO,-Casper L. Redfield,
famous scientist of Chicago, has an
nounced an educational campaign to
have the state Legislature prohibit
marriage under the age of 21.
In statement to the United Press
Redfield said he had been making
his investigation for almost so years
and hopes that every state legis-
lative body will enact laws against
wedlock for minors.
Last year there were 5000 mar
riages of couples under Is years of
age" Redfield said. From this
class come the principle part of our
criminals, paupers, 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
marriage laws had been passed in
Illinois 20 years ago"
To prove his theory that many Of
tHo ulOSI ulSIluCIlN0 Dl6U OI history
were born of parents we'll along
in years. Redfield names Sir Francis
Bacon, Charles Darwin, James Watt,
John Wesley, Benjamin Franklin,
George Washington, Abraham Lin
coin, Robert E. Lee, and Henry
Ward Beecher.
The investigation has brought an
other genealogical phenomenon, ne
declared. The great aggressive war
leaders have been the sons of young
fathers, whose fathers before them
were older men. Alexander the
Great, Napoleon Bonaparte and u.
S. Grant are among them" he de-
clared
In his research Redfield has found
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 the family.

G. N. 7. CAMPS.

According to plans just ap.
proved by the Commanding Gen.
eral of this Corps Area, G. 1T.
Camps will this summer be held
at Ft. Sam Houston. Ft. Crock
EFT, Ft. Bliss, and Dallas, Texas,
Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, Ft. Logan,
Colorado and FIT. Huachuca, Ari
zona. Three new camps are in
this way established, no camps
being held last summer at Ft.
Bliss, Ft. Crockett or Dallas,
Texas. The new camps are es.
tablished with the view of ion.
proving on the present G. M. T.
Camps BY making them slightly
smaller, thereby giving each
student more of the instructors
individual attention. Also, this
plan, by reducing the distances
to camps, will allow more par.
ents to visit their sons while
camp is in progress. Visitors
are always welcome and will be
entertained at each camp in the
best possible manner. Dates for
the camps have not yet been an.
nounced by the War Department
but, as last year, they will pro
badly be held during the month
of August. 1t is expected that
the quota allotted to this Corps
Area by the War Department,
will be 4100 men in camp. To
get this number into camp will
require our securing about 5000
applications. Application blanks
can be secured from the G. M.
IT. c.. Officer, Headquarters
Eighth Corps Area, F't. Sam
Houston, Texas. Many boys
were disappointed last summer
because there we're no vacancies
for them in the camps. The rule
is, first come. first served" so
don't delay but send card or
write . letter now for YOUR ap.
plication blank. Ask some boy
who has attended the @. M. r.
