THE REASONABLE TIME FOR
MARRIAGE

| THE MEASURABLE IlME fO1
MARRIAGE
Many young people marry far too
early, and in a hasty way as the eX-
preston of immature feeling, and
shortly afterward they repent. There
is a different type Of them who mar
ry too late, and fail to have the
children that such worthy people
could bring up.
A great many Of them feel that
they must have a secure and ample
income before they take this step.
The girls expect about the same lux
uries that their fathers gave them,
or they expect to have as much
money to spend as they had while
holding some Office or teaching po-
sition. And the young men do not
wish to give up the pleasures they
had as bachelors.
Living on this basis costs money
now, and so many marriages are
postponed for an unreasonable
time.
Many of these young people need
different point of view. They
would find, if they marry the right
ones, that the satisfactions of mar
ried life Offset the pleasures they
are forced to give up for reasons of
economy. They should be content to
live simply in small apartments, and
the cost for food for two people is
not big, if the wife can cook three
good meals a day.
To accomplish this some changes
in education and point of view are
needed. The girls should be taught
to take an interest in housework,
and to enjoy doing it in the most
competent, scientific and efficient
way. They would find pleasure in
doing it on that basis, and their Ca
pability would save a great deal of
expense. The men also should take
hold and help their wives with the
home work, if at any time the bur-
den is too much for them.
If they could get this point of
view, many young people in Milford
could marry earlier, have good fam
lilies of children, and find infinite
pleasure in family life.

HEADLIGHT BLINDNESS is one
of the most dangerous hazards of
night motoring, a hazard not only
to the occupants of automobiles and
to property, but to the pedestrian.
In fact, walking at night along
state roads or even the more remote
thoroughfares is a matter of taking
ones life in ones hands and might
well be termed "The Suicide Club"
To the conscientious driver of an
automobile glazing headlights are a
source Of torment. He sees two
moons approaching him down the
road. On they come growing into
two shafts of light and finally lose
their individual identities as they
bear down upon the tense driver.
For a matter Of seconds there is
visible before him but a
fog Of light. That interval Of light
blindness is enough, however, to
leave death and destruction in its
Path.
Few drivers in these times are so
careful that they will bring their
cars to a stop at the approach of |
the glaring headlights. It is not to
be wondered at that there are so |
few, for a pilot cautious enough to |
stop for the passage Of binding
lights would soon find that he had !
better stayed at home so far as pro-
gress on his journey was concerned.
Despite crusades against the glar-
ing headlight the menace continues.

make a car salesman respect you
