RGES EARLY
fEDDING KNOTS
I
I Should Be Maximum Age at
Which Girls Should Marry
and 14 None Too
Young.
By GILMAN PARKER,
tornstloaal Vent Srrvlrc Staff Corre
poodrnt. Chicago, April 24. Eighteen
imiM li h tnavimmn acr at
Phich eirls should marry, and 14 is
Pone too young, it is firmly believed
ry Mrs. Laura D. Lawson of Chi-
ago, who was a grandmother when
die was 30 years old. She was
larried when 13 years old and had
daughter a year later. The daugh-
er married at 15 and presented her
mother with a granddaughter when
he was 16 years of age.
Now Mrs. Lawson is 4, an atn-
ete, and the possessor of a com-
lexion that a sub-deb would envy.
"I fuppose they'd try to stone nic
ut of the United States if I advo-
ated the marriage of girls at 14,''
khe said. "So all I will say is that
nine, a year earlier than that,
turned out splendidly.
"I believe that girls should marry
ivery young, 18 at tlic very latest.
iOne big trouble with modern young
women is that their mothers are too
old for them thev simply cannot
get the right point of view on their
daughters daily problems.
"I always was more of a com
panion to my daughters than a
mother a mother of the modern
Hype, at least. 1 took a wlioie-
. . . i. - I
niq ana ironi ineir viewpoint, unu
took part in their affairs just as a
girl friend would.
"It is mv srreat hope to live to be
MOO years young,' and T believe I
will. " It is easy for a woman to re
main young all her life. All she has
to do is: 'Follow the Golden Rule
and keep her face clean.' I've done
that, and had only two facial mas
sages in my life. And I never worry
over trifles, which is an aging habit
and a great fault of women today."
Miss Hazel Doherty. Mrs. Law
son's granddaughter, who is now 17,
does not wholly share her youthful
grandma's opinions. She says she
doesn't intend to get married "for a
long, long time."

Plans for Overall
Parade Cause Large
Cut in Clothes' Prices
New York, April 23. Coincident
with the announcement that nearly
20,000 persons attired in overalls
and old clothing are expected to
parade here Saturday as a protest
against the high cost of clothing, 30
or more clothing dealers, including
the larger stores, Friday advertised
substantial reductions in prices of
ready-to-wear clothing.
Comparisons of advertisements in
newspapers with hose of last week
revealed that reductions on men's
clothes alone averaged $5 to $20 a
suit. The price of the ordinary
grades of ready-made suits, which
last week averaged about $60, has
dropped to near $45 with smaller
average reductions in shirts and
neckwear.
Reductions on women's clothes
were even greater, one of the city's
principal stores advertising reduc
tions of $10 to $24.50 of certain
styles of misses' spring suits, coats
and dresses.

In "Rumbellion" Prosecuted
Chicago, April 24. Federal prose
cution of Martin S. McDonough,
state's attorney of Iron county,
Michigan, in connection with the
Iron River "rum rebellion" was re
quested by the Illinois Anti-Saloon
league in a telegram sent to Attorney
General Palmer and made public to
day. The action of the league fol
lowed conviction of the Scalcucci
brothers, central figures in the Iron
River controversy.
Two to One, He Laughs at Westerners When
They Get 'Bumped by 'City Slickers in N. Y.
James P. Lyford, broker, of New
York, dismounted from his train at
the Burlington station Friday after
noon. He was a blase young New York
er and wore a cane on his arm as if
it belonged there.
But he was entirely unprepared
tor Omaha's metropolitan ways.
He evinced surprise when he left
the Burlington station and found
paved streets and surface cars. He
was more surprised when a dapper
youth wearing a stiff green cap ap
proached him and offered to deliver
his bag at any hotel free of charge.
But he surrendered the bag, an
excellent bag of genuine alligator
skin, to the yorrth with instructions
to take it to Hotel Fontenelle.
He then strolled slowly down
town, found the hotel, registered,
told a bell boy to take his bag to
room 219 when it arrived and went
out for another stroll.
Three hours later lie went to his
room. His bag had not arrived.
He looked for the bell boy he had
instructed, and was informed that
No. 9 had gone oft duty an hour
before.
He then complained to Assistant
Manager Stafford.
Baggage was never lost at the
Biltmore or the Ritz, he informed
Mr. Stafford, and he would not tol
erate such carelessness at th-i Fon
tenelle. Had he not given the bag
to a hotel boy in front of the sta
tion fully three hours before?
"Your's is a case for the police,"
Mr. Stafford finally informed him
But Mr. Lyford of New York did
not report the case. It meant "un
desirable newspaper publicity if he
did. he said.
Mr. Stafford has received other
reports from transients of a youth
with a hotel cap who offers to carry
baggage to hotels for transients. He
will place the matter before the
police.
Wilson Approves Air Mail

Ward Burgess Buys Large
Tract South of Fairacres
A 17-acre site, just south of Fair
acres, on which he plans to erect a
home, was purchased yesterday by
Ward Burgess. The record price
of $50,000 was .paid for the land. It
lies between the estates of J. Ervine
Brandeis and F. B. Kennard.
Harry Tukey handled the trans
action. Five acres were purchased
from T. W. Robbins and 12 acres
J. A.
from
Sunderland.
TO dominate the open road
in a handy, quick-about,
light-weight car this is the
trend of the time.
Long have we waited for a
car so thoroughly well balanced
that its every movement is for
ward so shorn of surplus
weight that its up-keep cost is
negligible so inherently fine in
line and design as to gratify
every desire for beauty and ele
gance. Jordan cars were built only
after careful study of all Amer
ican and foreign cars had re
vealed the prime car needs of
today. For its wheelbase, the
Jordan is the lightest car on the
road.
' Men wearie'd with" the exces
sive cost of driving big and bulky
cars, choose with joy the Jordan.
Says Sugar Profiteers
Rival Pirates of Old
(Continued From Tbs Ont.)
United States for distribution to
consumers at cost. A government
sworn to protect its people permits
this robbery and puts no curb on it.
Profiteers Go Unhung.
"This profit-taking campaign of j
speculators and profiteers in sugar
surpasses in bare-faced larceny any
brutal demand yet made on this
long- suffering and outraged nation.
These profiteers and known, but they
go unhung. Wall streets melon
patches continue to be warmed by
the sun of privilege,' fertilized by th-J
pirspiration of labor, watered by the
tears of poverty and this year will
raise a record-breaking crop, free
from the blight of income taxes,
while the people are being urged to
buy their coal early, to abstain from
steag one day a week and to buy
war savings stamps that Uncle Sam
may live in a $9,000,000,000 style on
a $6,000,000,000 income.
"The extent to which people have
been bled by extortion is almost un
believable. The speculation and
profiteering in cotton and cotton
goods has been open, flagrant and
scandalous; a recent senate investi
gation received proof that the spread
between farm and store prices of
cotton materials was about 1,800 per
cent, and that the reail price of cot
ton goods is so high that ordinary
persons can scarcely buy beddings,
cottons, muslins and ginghams. If
this is not grand larceny in daytime,
I don't know."
Raps "Melon Cutters."
Senator Capper said the National
Candy company showed increase of
545 per cent over 1915; Burns Bros.,
largest coal dealers in the country,
maae a net profit ot 40 cents per
ton against 2i in 1916; United
Drug profits were 242 per cent
greater than in 1916; Steel com
pany's surplus after dividends ag
gregated nearly $500,000,000 in the
last five years, although $315,000,
000 was spent on improvements.
"The patriotic melon cutters,"
senator Lapper continued, urge a
tax on sales to pay the soldiers'
bonus. It should be placed where it
belongs, on war prots and stock
dividends. The poor man's luxury
is tobacco. Smokers may be in
terested to know the tobacco pro
ducers' corporation shows a rise of
1,547 per cent ocer 1914 profits. The
General Cigar company amassed a
net income of almost 38 cents out
of each dollar of sales in 1919.
"City rent hogs arc not satisfied
with a 20 per cent return on capi
tal. They hold up sceekers for shel
ter, for all and more than they can
pay.
100 Per Cent Americanism.
"It is time when 100 per cent
Americanism should be defined. If
it means to evade taxes, cheat the
government, swindle the people,' let
this be clearly understood. But it
would be instructive to know just
the different in principle, between
cheating the government and put
ting it 'in band' and attempting to
overthrow it in the dure manner of
'the bolshevists. Both methods reach
the same results; one is merely more
crafty than the other. We can regu
late profits as we regulated usury
and in such regulation provision
can be made for maintaining a
sinking fund for the lean years. We
have laws against profiteering.
"If those charged with their en
forcement will see that profit-hogs
go to jail, prices will soon tumble.
The United States has become a
robber's roost; greed has become
morally and criminally lawless. In
self-protection we must find the
remedy and apply it."
"The Department of Justice," said
Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin, ,
"has been setting mouse traps when
bear traps were needed to catch the
profiteers. There has been heal, ef
fective action to curb the big profit
eers and I don't think any will come
from this administration. The presi
dent refused last summer to exercise
powers that we have prevented the
present exortation in sugar. Con
gress extended these powers as late
as December 2, and still there was
no action."
