Judge Fails to Give Decision in Child Rites Juvenile Jurist Announces Hands Off Policy in Young ster Marriages Before His Attention. Parent* have the right to prevent their boys under 21 and their girls under ill from marrying. But if children run sway and are married the only recourse open to parents is a suit for annulment of the marriage, which must he decided on its merits. So declared District Judge D. R. Day of the domestic relations and juvenile court, in discussing Monday morning the seven or eight rhtld mar riages which have been brought to his attention. Nothing Vicious. "There Is nothing vicious or im moral In these early marriages," said .Judge Day. "Scores of them have been consummated since the first of this year. “It is like predicting the weather to attempt to predict how they will turn out. Sometimes It Is the wed ding when there are the most flowers lhat fails, and the one which takes place under the worst circumstances that succeeds.” "It is remarkai^e that so few rases of child marriages are brought be fore the court, considering the num ber that take place. Soldier Case Again. In Nebraska marriages of boys IS or older and girls IS or over are legal provided parenta ronaent. In Iowa legal marriages may he contracted by girls who have at tained the age of 14 and boys of IS, with parental consent. The case on which Judge Day la pondering at the moment is that of Mary Vokal, 15-year-old grade school girl, and Jesse Vermuellen, 28, former soldier and a father by a former marriage, who were married In Coun cil Bluffs two weeks ago. Husband Released. Mary's parents filed a complaint charging Vermuellen. her husband, with aiding and abetting the girl’s de linquency. Vermuellen was arrested and confined in county jail. Judge Day permitted Vermuellen fo be released on bond Monday morning and took the case under ad visement. Mary’s parents plan to bring annulment proceedings. "In no case haa the juvenile eoiirt attempted to make itself a guardian of the marriage relations of children, unless parents come in and complain lhat they are beyond parental control. And even then, unless the marriage is annulled, little pressure can he brought to bear on the children,” said Judge Day, Tree to Be Planted a* World War Memorial Columbus, April *.—An evergreen tree is to he planted on the Platts county court house lawn by the mem bers of the American I.egion auxiliary in honor of the service men of the world war.

PROSPERITY AHEAD SEEN BY C00UDGE (Continued From Page One.) that policy that will be found any where. Within this doman we have an extent and variety of natural re source* far beyond those of any other country. Yet from our national be ginnings we have sought no advan tage by reason of lhl» primacy In natural resource*. Whoever wanted them was free to come here and buy our raw materials at exactly the same prices as our own people. Such staples as copper, cotton and petroleum might have been made the basis on which In build great national monopolies. Yet they have been as freely available to the industries of other countries as to our own. Under our constitution our export trade is free of duty. Possibility of Monopoly. "At times, when I have heard criticism of our Industrial policies. I have been tempted to wonder how many other peoples, endowed with the same natural wealth, the same possi bilities of maintaining something like monopoly, would have been as gener ous with the rest of mankind as the Americans have been. Not a few among us have even been Inclined to fear lest our liberality In this regard might at length leave ti* at a dis advantage In comparison with coun tries more willing to exploit their op portunities for monopoly, or less lib eral with their natural resources. "I do not refer to these matters with any intent of criticizing the countries whose methods differ from our own. We freely concede their right to de termine their economic procedures with a view to what they believe their own best Interests. But It ts only fair that we should keep In mind all the justification* for policies of our own which have sometimes been unfairly criticized."

The folks who realty few; Most tliink they hut never ft«» - Old Mother Nature. The Drumming l»g. Peter Rabbit had said that the log on whi'h Thunderer the Grouse drummed was hollow, and Jumper the Hare had grinned in a most pro voking manner and told Peter that he didn’t know what he was talking about, for if he hadn’t looked to see he couldn’t know tnat that log was hollow'. ‘ Thunderer isn’t nsfng a bellow log now,” declared Jumper, as they listended to the long, rolling booms that sounded like distant thunder. “Is trie log you have seen him drum ming on over v here the sound is coming from, Peter?” Peter had to admit that. It was. At least, that sound seemed to he com ing from very near the place where he had w itched Thunderer on a cer tain mossv old log more than once. “There .4* only one*log over there that Thunderer ever drums on, and that must he the one you have seen him on,” declared Jumper the Hare. And, Peter dear, it isn't hollow.” “I know better!” snapped Peter Of course It Is hollow. You ssy he doesn't strike the l*g with his wings in order to make that noise. Then how does he make It?’’ "Th.it I ' in t explain exactly,” re piled Jumper. "Of course, you can't!" cried Peter, itriumphantly. "I tell you what. Jumper, let's go right over there now, amt If Thunderer is still there well watch him drum. That will settle the question.” i; Jumper grinned, for ha had watched Thunderer drum many times and never had been able to decide just how he made that noise. But he agreed, and they headed for the place where Thunderer was drumming When they came In sight of an old log they saw- Thunderer the Grouse standing on it. He had just stopped drumming and appeared to he listen ing. Peter and Jumper stopped. They hoped to see Thunderer drum again. ,Rut to their great disappointment he spread his wing and whirred away. "Anyway, well look at the log. Thunderer's drumming log,” said Jumper and led the wav. It was an old log. It was a very rid log. It. was such an old log lhar It was covered with moss. It must have been lying there for years and hollow,” Jumper demanded. "Look nt the ends and see If it is hollow," Jumper commanded. Peter looked. He couldn't well re fuse. He looked, and he found that that log wasn't hollow. Anyway, there were no openings at the ends Jumper made him look that log over from one end to the other. There Wasn't even a tiny opening in It. Such a queer look as was on Peter's face! Jumper's eyes twinkled. "Jump on that log, Peter,” said he. Peter did so. "Now thump It as hard as you can " Jumper commanded. "What for?” asked Peter. ' To see if you Van make a noise on It.” replied Jumper. "If Thunderer, the Grouse ran make all that noise bf ; hitting It with his wings, you ought to he able to make a loud noise by thumping It with your feet." Peter thumped. He thumped with all hi* might, lie did moke a noise, r. hut It wasln't a loud noise. You see, the old log WHB revered with moss. And lhat noise wasn't anything at all like the noise made by Thunderer the Grouse. "You see," said Jumper, "the leg isn't hollow and the drumming lan t made by heating the log.
