Alarmed by the number of yru -ful Benedicts heard from in the last few weeks, authorities iti Uitje cities have been puittng pan. t, is throng!) their annual spring ques tioning on the marriage question. Marry early is the advice of Ue troit experts on the subject, who frankly voiced their opinions when the subject was broached. "I am a strong believer of love in a cottage," declared the Ki-v. Rodman Shippen, pastor of the Unitarian church, "liurly mar riages are the most politic, but no general advice can be given. The right time to marry is when you find the right person to marry, and this generally happens before you are very old. The economic bar rier to early marriage is greatly over-estimated. I sincerely be- j lieve that two young people who are truly mated can live to better advantage together than separate ly." "It is hard to determine just the right age." sjid Di Mary Th"ii r mjii Stevens, "but I think in most cases 21 or 22 is old enough. The great thing is love, however.

As far as history goes, it is known that is the aver age age of marriage." "Circumstances alter cases," said Judge Alfred J. Murphy.
