Marriage Wait Bill
To Be Offered in
Virginia Assembly
Foirfox Delegate
To Reintroduce His
'72-Hour' Measure
By a stan Correspondent Of The Star.

BY stan Correspondent Of The Star.
FAIRFAX, Va. Jan. 1.-Francis
Pickens Miller. Delegate to the Vir-
ginia General Assembly, said today
he would reintroduce 72-hour- wait
marriage bill at the session of the
Assembly which opens at Richmond
next week.
The effect of the proposed legis-
lation will be to discourage "Gretna
Grsens" which sprang up in the
Old Dominion almost Immediately
aftar Maryland strengthened its
marriage laws.
Some nearby Virginia clerks have
adopted a policy" of requiring a
three-day wait. but others, further
in-State, have noted about 600 per
cent increase in licenses issued dur
ing 1889 because of the Maryland
law.
Mr.. Miller introduced 72-hour
wait bill at the last session of the
Assembly in 1888, but it failed to
pass the Senate.
Il want to commend the atti-
tude taken by the court clerks in
Fairfax and Arlington County by
requiring three-day wait between
application and issuance of licenses, -
Mr.. Miller said.
He said he was in favor of health
before-marriage laws and would
support such legislation in prefer
ence to bis own bill, if this is placed
before the Assembly. His own bill,
he said, would be reintroduced for
the purpose of having it on the
docket in case health laws are not
considered.
Meanwhile, State Senator William
D. Medley has announced he would
support a proposed 72-hour wait bill.
II supported the bill before and
I will do so again if it is introduced
in the Senate" he said.
Tourist camps would be required
to maintain permanent registers and
records of automobiles, in another
proposed bill being considered by
Mr.. Miller He said the bill has not
yet been drafted. His attention has
been called to a situation where
such records would assist the State
police, he declared.

S220 Salary Increase
Per Teacher 10 Be
Asked in Virginia
Stote School Budget
Would Be Boosted
By S3,846,3l0
By the Associated Press.

Bv the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Jan. IAN increase
of nearly so per cent in the State
of Virginia's appropriation per
teacher unit will be asked of the
,194O General Assembly by the State
Board of Education, according to DR..
Sidney B. Hall, State superintendent
of public instruction.
The current guarantee of $500 in
State funds per teacher would be in
creased to $720 under the boards
proposal. Which is indorsed by the
Virginia Education Association. 1t
would increase the State school
budget an estimated $3,846,310.
The minimum per-teacher allot-
ment has been raised to its present
figure from 1854 since 1890.
Some Virginia educators have
been encouraged in the belief the
Assembly will regard favorably the
increases in school funds sought be-
cause of Gov. Prices announced in
tention of building his budget
recommendation around the schools.
In addition to the teacher pay
ment boost, the board will press for
an actuarially sound retirement law.
estimated to require an additional
1878, 1893, and free textbooks, de-
manding, it is estimated, s878, SAB
appropria ton.
The movement for enlarged State
appropriations for the schools has
marked every session of the General
Assembly during the last decade,
and except for depression years has
yielded gains to the school fund,
though never to the extent sought
at the time
DR.. Hall said that for more than
10 years Virginia has ranked among
the highest States for approved edu-
cational laws, and that consequently
the chief room for advance was in
the field of school funds.
Major advances in this line, aside
from the teacher pay angle, have
been increased appropriations for
vocational education, with Federal
aid; larger appropriations for library
development and stimulation of spe-
cial, adult and music education.

Baby Talk

Children should be treated as indi-
viduals no matter how young. They
should not be corrected in public for
such correction tends to make them
self-conscious. Although the child
must become adjusted to social codes
of behavior, parents should not keep
up constant nagging about good
manners.
A child's fears deal with things
imaginary but as the child becomes
better acquainted with his surround
ings the mystery is dispelled from
such terrifying unknowns as the dark
and loud noises. Instead, his fears
center on the attitude of the social
group of which he is part.
With the changing of the adolesceni
to the adult the fear of social opinion
should largely be cast off. No pro-
gressive work can be done if the
adolescent is ever afraid of the criti
cism of others.

Glamour

A deodorant is a preparation which
destroys odors while an anti-perspir-
ant does not remove odors already
present, but checks perspiration and
consequently prevents further forma-
tion of odors which arise from perspi-
ration. A simple solution of aluminium
chloride which can be purchased in
any drug store, has been found to be
the most effective, and for most peo-
pie the safest anti-perspirant gener-
ally available. Aluminium chloride is
the base Of nearly all anti-perspir-
ants but there are many risks run
even by using any commercial prep
aration to check perspiration. To
avoid trouble in asing any anti-per-
spirant the skin must be absolutely
free from soap, well rinsed and thor
oughly dried. 1t must not be used
where there appears any raw or
broken skin or any types OF skin erup-
tion. Aluminium chloride is also par
ticularly hard on cotton or linen
clothing because it tends to rot the
fibers. Therefore the skin should be
thoroughly washed and dried both be-
fore and after using any of the prep
arations. No commercial anti-per-
spirants have been found absolutely
safe for all persons, therefore some
experimentation by the individual is
necessary to find which may be used
with the greatest degree of effective
ness and safety.
Frequent bathing is most often
found the best guard against unpleas-
ant body odors followed by the use
of a sweet scented tale, boric acid, or
baking soda solution. Some girls
prefer a mild toilet water sprayed
from an atomizer after their bath.
