BABBSTT OUTLINES CHIEF FACTORS TBk MBW MARBIAOE LAW McHenry county marriage license business, which showed a gain in the first six months of this year as compared to the same period last year, is expected to take a bigger boom in the next six months following the passage of amendments to the state law and the passage in Iowa of a premarital examination law eliminating Iowa Gretna Greens. Under the new law, which became effective Tuesday of last week, Illinois couples no longer need file formal notice of intention to wed, Attorney General George F. Barrett said. Chief points in the amended law as outlined by Barrett are: 1. It is not longer necessary to file formal notice of intention to wed. 2. Each applicant still must obtain a health certificate, each must personally sign it and a county clerk may require affidavits by others than the contracting parties. 3. Applicants must appear before the clerk and certify their age and, other details. 4. Licenses may be obtained between one and fifteen days after date of health certificate. 5.- Laboratory tests not required where certificate is issued by health director or his representative. A fine of from $100 to $600 is provided where any county clerk issues a license to a person who fails to present the required health certificate and where a physician commits an infraction. Couples violating the law may be fined $100 or imprisoned three months, or both. f i-.

BQ6TON.--Everyone along Boaton's newspaper row knows Nate Sodeksoo, spry little city circulation boss for the Globe, bat very few people know that be has S5 "sons" who are Harvard grndttates--all former newsboys like himself. In fact, very few of those "sons" ever hoard of Nate and he knows only a half-doson of them personally. But every yoar at commencement time, when he gralw a paper wet from the pre and thumbs through the list of Hnrcaxtf ^aduates, he knows that dMbp* was a recipiant of a Boston nsanboys Harvard scholarship that lis started back in 1908. wina C.PA. story," Nata says. "But what mora do I want? Don't I know thai I'v* make a hStari socialist, a an architsc^. some teachers in the Philippines out of poor kids -who sold papers on the street corners?" Don't get .the ideajbat Nate was in the pMpqr IslfyBW, and Just wrote a .check ter s few thousand and turned It over to Harvard. He was still a ><newsie" himself, but as a former president of file Newsboys' Protective union, he hit upon the idea of raising a fund to give newsboys a chance at something better than the grammar school education. Those were the days when the newsies hung out in a section where their heroes were prize fighters and pool room sharks. "Tlie union was doing a good job at bettering conditions," said Nate. "W4 htd $120 in our treasury, and I sold the boys idea of giving $100 of it for a starter toward a schol arship. Don't faint, but the idea was to raise $5,000 so that the interest would give free tuition to some smart newsboy every year." Washtngtori m-t National Editorial Washington, July 9--Legislators returning to their official duties after the holiday are attempting to digest and weigh the significance of the barrage of oratory.

The recall of Japanese Various Lines Bound Greater City of Boston BOSTON.--When a visitor asks how Urge "Metropolitan Boston" is, it is more than likely he will be answered with another question: "What Metropolitan Boston do you mean?" There are altogether more than 12 different divisions known as Metropolitan Boston, the smallest of them containing 14 communities and the largest containing 80 cities and towns. The different districts are the result of smaller communities being linked to Boston to obtain a water supply more efficiently and cheaper or to co-ordinate other services. Most of the communities co-operate with Boston along business lines but refuses to be Joined to the hub in ventures that would bring them under the city's higher taxes and property assessments. Among the Metropolitan Bostons commonly mentioned are the areas served by the Boston planning com mission, the Boston portal district the Metropolitan Tansit commission the metropolitan police, the metro politan water division, the metropoli tan park district and tfre New Eng land Telephone Ar Telegraph com pany. None of the districts.is similar to another and none is absolute. The commonly accepted division, how ever, is that of the planning commission, which contains 43 cities and towns. ships to home ports and proposals for lifting the ban on ar. Army abroad coupled with extension of the draft had made necessary by esperfincss ik actual combat overseas. Airplane and tank output has been slowed down, and, in some instances, halted to install important improvements like the new revolving turret. What this means in altering plant equipment ready to turn out vast numbers of airplanes and armored tewka cannot be appreciated by those not familiar with the tooling required for machines used in mass production. Among the political angles tending to slow down vital defense output is the pressure placed on defense officials by Senators and Representatives seeking defense plants in their bailwicks. The "higher-ups" must ncessarily devote valuable time to these patronage matters when subjected to Capitol Hill influences. In fact, the hearings in appropriation bills show the subject is uppermost in the minds of many lawmakers. Senators have publicly admitted it is irritating to defense executives but contend the legislators are likewise an noyed fcy the folks interested in th« location of plsnt facilities. Letters continue to pour into Congress asking reasons for voting hug* funds to the Works Progress Adminservice *ad the lawmakers on their iatr»*ion- °ffic5a,1 to the ^ number of unemployed are freely disw putted.

When an airplane, flying win, Mich., dipped its left wing, residents knew it was a baby girl for Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Smith. Hm father, a pilot, had previously arranged this signal to announce the child's arrival. V as a result of the Russo>Nasi war i« watched with keenest interest here. One of the many "economic pressures" exercised to keep Nippon in line is relatively unheralded. An investigation is quietly underway into the migration routes, food and other life habits of the Alaska fur-seal herd. It is an inquiry which may hit the Japs between the eyes because they have served notice to abrogate the sealing treaty of 1911. Commercial fishing is a leading industry over there and they claim the seals are harmfld. Uncle Sam believes the Japs have a lame excuse to raid our sealing herds. Hence, our experts are now seeking facts to expose the Nipponees hand when the treaty expires in October. The Jap fishermen are always irritating to the U. S. Navy for their "fishing" is used as a cloak for spying on military and naval subjects. For years these craft have managed to appear in the Pacific during naval maneuvers and international incidents have only been avoided by a narrow margin. The various government agencies are striving mightily to meet problems of morale in connection with the Army camps and Navy stations located near cities and small towns The issue has assumed such proportions that Charles P. Taft, Coordinator of Health, Welfare and Related Defense Activities, is working night and day to smooth the rough spots in the program. One result of co-ordination is to* lift burdens from town officials who previously yrere swamped with Federal inspectors. Many communities have no funds to meet new demands for recreational facilities without hiking local taxes. Uncle Sam is now helping community organiia tions. In addition to soldiers and sailors, the influx of civilian worker* to new defense plants present headaches to local officials. Sidewalks are jammed, traffic is snarled and food soon exhausted in villages adjacent to these defense areas. Of course, • major activity of the government is to control social diseases and repress prostitution around these ramps. While disappointment is expressed at the lag in producing defense material, there are many explanations for this condition ranging from political factors to labor disputes. One phase which has received little attention is the constant change in designi sons win be jobless during the fiscal year. They claim that the stimulus of defense expenditures i? spotty and only 781 counties out of 8.07S have received defense contracts and many of these are for only small amounts. Furthermore, these officials allege that employment redactions in plants producing for civilian consumption are already being reported because of tfettermaiiii | Service SHVCLAHL OAS S : AEBOILS ^ MO W-2 or 38t -- Jetasirarg -- Blaskemitiiing, Horseshoeing, Omnuotil Iran Worfc and Wood Work.
