of population a large proportion are
marrying in the earlier ages than was
the case 1920 years ago"
The principal reason is the freer
position of women. The girl who is
making little money would rather
marry earlier and keep on working
than wait until her future husband
is making enough for two. And being
modern girl, she isn't bashful about
letting the boy know exactly how she
feels about it.
Youth will always seek adventure,
frequently without stopping to count
the cost. and marriage is the greatest
adventure of all

Should Appreciate Homes
But-when looked at the papers this morn
ing and saw the picture of school children in
Europe studying in gas masks, realized how
unimportant the small annoyances Of life are.
There before my eyes were these little ones, the
real joy and inspiration around which the home
is built, buried in those grotesque masks, learn
ing at that early age how to try to save them
selves from the next war.
The children cannot remember our last ter.
rible war, but they can go into a moving pic
ture house almost any time and see pictures of
it, see men being blown to bits and what is
much worse, suffering the tortures of the
damned while being sent back to the first aid
stations.
And, in the same way, they can see these
things being repeated in China at this very
moment.
What a new meaning our safe homes take
on when we look on this side Of the picture.
Yet we must keep our faith in fairness, in
justice and in peace, and know that right must
triumph in the end.
