EASIER MARRIAGE LAWS

BY the Associated Press
PARIS, March 12.-Respectability

as necessary remedies for Frances
population problem
Children born out of wedlock, all
agree, should not suffer for their

tions. The men make as good sol
diers and the women as good wives
and mothers, supporters of these ideas
contend In any case, they believe
the French must be encouraged to
have children and lay sermons and
10 per cent tax reductions have failed
OF their object.
One suggestion is that mRriage
formalities should be as simple as in
the United States. The French must
fulfill troublesome formalities and the
parents consent is essential IL the
| man is under % or the woman un-
der 21.
Illigitimacy is high, in Paris espe.
cially. The necessity for marriage

| for many reasons.
The free union, or sort of com.
mon-law marriage does not figure in

MEXICO CITY, March 1.-TWO
small boys, the eldest of whom has
barely touched his teens, have become
the most famous bullfighters in
Mexico.
These babies of the bull ring, them
selves the sons of a once renowned
matador, are Spanish brothers, Man
uel and Jose Bienvenida, aged 13 and
IL. Almost from the time they could
toddle their father taught them the
tricks of his trade. Now, still mere
children, and the first TO succeed in
this CORY game at so tender an age,
they perform feats surprising those
of adult heroes of the ring.
Their courage, skill and audacity,
the sheer bravado with which they
dare death on the horns of infuriated
animals, their grace and precision in
the intricate and dangerous postures
required during the fight, have
frenzied the fans of Mexico. The lads
are little less than idolized by devotees
of the game.
