New Marriage Law
 Features Stressed
Health Officials Explain Issues Regulations Necessary
 for Blood Test Requirement for License

than 40 days before the license 1s Issued and not 90 days before the license Is first applied for. Tn briex any test done within % days Of issuing the license will be accepted.
 A marriage license issued in 1895, or any year previous, is now invalid. A license issued in le36 complying the law effective January l, 1o30, may be used at any time after it has been issued, and will bc valid until the law of io30 may have been changed by future sessions or the general assembly.
 While the applications for mar riages are at ell times open for inc spection during business hours, the physician's statement and laboratory report are not 50 open for inspec- ton. They will be carefully pre- served by the registrars, as authority for issuing Q marriage license, but the applicant need have no fear that others will be able to pry into his or her record. The attorney general has ruled that the records concern ing the new test shall be kept secret.
 In the opinion of the attorney general, also, 1t is not sufficient that the application be signed and sworn to b yone of the contracting parties when it is filed with the registrar, but that both must sign and swear before the registrar. Only one party ig required to do 90 ct the time of filing. The other party must do 50 before the certificate shall be granted.
 The five day interval, required by law, between making application for license and the granting of 1t by the registrar commences when either party Cor both) submits Q physi- clans statement and laboratory re- port. In other words. the physicians statement should accompany the application. It is merely waste of time to make application first with the intention of submitting the phy- sicians statement later--take the test and get the statement first, then see the registrar.
 It should be noted that the appli- cant must sign the physician's state- ment in the latter's pr6sence in the space provided on the latter's blank form. Since the applicant must also sign before the registrar, the two signatures afford on easy check on the statement, avoiding any chance of duplicity in trying to defeat the law. Moreover, registrars will not accept physicians statement or laboratory reports which contain any erasure or defacement. Also for the purpose of preventing fraud is the requirement. that the registrar must check the name of the physi- clan and of the laboratory against tho ofiicial state list of registered physicians end the list of approved laboratories.
 Significance of Bleed Test
 Although their mechanics are too technical for description here, there are three standard types of blood tests authorized by the Connecticut sanitary code for use In enforcement of tho marriage law. They are known As tho complement.fl or Wasserman, the Kahn precipitation and the Kline precipitation tests. All three in their present stage of development are highly sensitive and remarkably specific. fl~

Tn order to clear up any misun- derstandings which may exist con- corning Connectlcut's new marriage law requirements which became ef- fective January 1, the state depart- ment of health today Issued the fol- lowing statement explaining the statue and the instructions con- corning its enforcement which have been given by the department to physicians and town registrars:
 The new marriage law merely re- quires each applicant for c marriage license to 90 to his or her physician and submit to Q blood test for syph- ilis; the physician will take Q sam pie of blood and send 1t for analysis to the state department of health laboratories in Hartford or to an- other laboratory approved by the de- partment; the laboratory will return Q report of the blood test to the physician who will then, if in his be- lief the applicant is free from syph- His or that the disease is in such Q stage as to be communicable, is- sue . certificate to that effect; both applicants must present physicians certificates to the registrar before the license may be Issued. No license may be issued without these certifl. cates showing that there is no dan- ger of infection of others with this disease.
 The law applies only to syphilis and to no other disease.
 Although health authorities are agreed that by enactmentof this law Connecticut has taken . great stride toward the protection of fu- ture generatoins from the effects of congenital infection, the statute is not new in general substance. Twenty-two other states have siin- ilarly restrictive marriage laws ap- plying to venereal diseases.
 Regulations Necessary
 The various steps which must now Do taken to secure c license are out- lined as follows:
 If applicant is uninformed about the law, Q copy may be obtained without cost from the registrar of vital statistics. It is easily under stood.
 The next step is to have the family physician secure Q sample of blood which he will send either to the laboratory of the state department of health, or to Q laboratory ape proved by the department. The physician is equipped by the depart inent with containers for mailing the blood sample and with oil necessary blank forms.
 The test will be made in the labor atory and c report mailed to the physician on two forms, one, the usual laboratory report for the phy- sician to retain, and the other to be presented to tho registrar. If tho test is satisfactory, the physician will sign his official statement; and the applicant also signs tho state- ment In the presence of the physi- clan. The statement is now complete and may be presented to the regis- trar. Note that the laboratory does not interpret the results of the test; the physician makes the decision based on the report.
 Upon receipt of the physicIans' statements, the registrar will accept the application and on the fifth day following will issue the marriage li- cense if both parties by that time shall have surrendered to him their physicians' statements.

College Students Found To Excel In Height And General Physique

factors have q great deal to do with body development
 It B possible, however, that the economic condition of the family able to send it8 children to college may have something to do with the development Of these youngsters.
 Tine provision of good food and housing, and of proper hygiene during childhood, must certainly be important in bringing about better developed children from q physical point of view. It is re- ported, for example, that the aVs craze income of families Of students of the University Of Minnes0ta Is in the upper 90 per cent bracket Of family incomes in general.
 Recently, height and weight measurements were recorded for 5000 college men and 1000 college women.
 The American college woman, at the age of 10, it was found, IS heavier than the girl who does not go to college. By the age of 10, the girl who has not gone to c0ls lege weighs more, but B not as tall
 College men are taller and heavier, the age of IG, than men who do not go 10 college, and they keep on getting bigger and heavier than the others.
 College students of today are physically superior t0 college gtu- dents Of an earlier day. VaSar studcnB in 1923 were i-3 inches taller than they were 37 years ago
 Over q period of 90 years, men in the University Of Minnesota have increased three. .fourthB of an inch in height and four pounds in weight,
 Harvard students today average 1 i-4 inches taller and eight pounds heavier than did their fathers when they were undergraduates at liar. yard.
 All this would seem to point to the fact that proper knowledge of hygiene and the provision Oi suitable quantities of the right kind of food in youth, as well az control Of physical disease and physical ed' ucatiOn, can do much to promote bigger and healthier children.

GIOriting Yourself
By Alicia Hart
MA Nervloe Rta9R WrlteF

The very young girl who Is pret- tier than she is beautiful and cutter than she is smart should make the most of her youthful cuteness rather than try to look older and more so- phisticated. Light, natural-looklng makeup, Q simple coiffure and clothes from the Junior Miss de- partment will enhance her charm far more than layers of mascara and eyeshadow, an intricate hair do and guave black dresses with white touches.
 Except for special occasions, such as formal parties, high school and college girls ought to wear pale shell pink or natural nall lacquer. They need rouge, Mpstlck and pow der, but these must be put on ever 50 sparingly. Soap and water, toothbrush, deodorant and hair- brush are the best friends of one SO young.
 It Is Q good idea for . mother to impress upon the mind of her l2. yeRr-old daughter the importance of cleanliness, how necessary ade' quate sleep, exercise and Q sensible diet arc to beauty and that proper grooming can make Q swan out of the ugliest duckling. If your child iS just at the awkward stage when she seems all arms and legs, try to teach her tho fundamentals of excellent posture. Dancing lessons and pro. fessional instruction in ono active sport have been known to cure cases of self-consciousness and ado- lescent inhibitionS.
 Oct your child Into the habit of looking for clothes that arc not too old in design and fabric for her tender years. Encourage her to take an interest In fashions and beauty for the young fads that were created for you or her older sister, Let her know that she has only a few years during which to make the most of her cuteness and that there is time enough for sophisticated beauty later on.

Your Children
BY OllVe Roberts Bart0R

TOdays sermon will be . bit sharp, fear, Not for parents, but for those of our young people who arc using parents as . means Co their own ends.
 In the past few years we have read rearas about the poor dis- gruntled youth who graduated into the depression. And more reams about the poor girl who Is nnisun- dorstood by her parents, and is un- happy because she is misunderstood and not allowed to live her life as she would.
 Actually am tired and sick of hearing about both. Tired of list- ening to the poor fellow who. pre- pared for law or engineering or teaching, cannot find Q job in his preferred line. Sick of listening to the girl who chafes because mother and dad do not cough up more dispensations. Tired also Of hearing about parents who are too hard on their offspring and be- hind the times.
 True, every parent Is old-togie and behind the times. He lived 20 years too soon, that is all. But this very fact, so 1t seems to me, wNs intended. Youth is progress siVe, but 1t also needs . halter, Q bit and rein.
 Some parents are for too bigot- cd in their opinions; let us grant that, Some are unreasonable and stupid; let us eonoede that, too, But the common run of people, as Calvin Coolidge used to say, are kindly to Q fault; have tried to bring their children up to . stand- ard one step or more beyond that of their own. They have worked and saved and sacrificed to give their children Q good chance ct life.
 Little has been said, or la- mented, about these parents who have seen their almost adult chll- dren put to tho test and turned short sports when the world did not continue to deal out It's bless ings. About the heart-aohcS and diSappolntm when their Ideals In their families crashed, Or the bitter crosses they have borne when 1t was beyond their power to do still more In way of compen- sation for the disgruntled son or daughter.
 Some young people have been magnificent In their years of trial. but this article concerns those others who go about, sourly la. menting their lot. There arc stiV too many. still too many who lie about the house and take 1t all out on tho old folks.
 In their turn, these parents come in for criticism, rather than sym. pathy, because they lack spirit or courage to say, T am still boss Of my own home. You will treat us decently while you arc here. If you cannot give us love, you must Rt least pay us respect. We turn over our home to no ono. In this house our word is law and you must heed it. We refuse to be door mats to any generation"
 Doesn't 1t sound terriflcP And yet after certain pitiful corre- spondence, feel thls way today and ell days when critical grownup children are pre-empting home rights and home comforts with no better thanks than ridieule or sulk- mess. Blaming 1t on soul-Sickness or some such trash aS that. Soul. sickness; blasted hopes: no future: can't hold their heads up; threaten ing to run away. Well, I'd lot such an one run away as fast as he could. run, # ho ever held that over my head. He might get hungry for homemade peach pie some time and Do sorry.
