When he tried to give one eg? away, someone would snatch two. To a 5-year-old the sudden loss of a prized egg can be quite serious.

(Daily Record photo) New Type Os Survey Made On Sex Habits INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (W A Purdue University soclc'-gist has developed a new way to study American marriage customs with out asking a single intimate ques tion. Prof. Harold T. Christensen be l lieves his "record linking system” will prove more reliable than the interview technique employed by Dr Alfred Kmsey, another Indiana ■ scholar interested in America's sex life. t 1 1 Christensen gets all his statistics from public records of marriages, births and divorces. With informa tion from these easlly-accessible sources he has come up with such conclusions as: 1. Newly married couples are ; waiting longer before having theft 1 first child that they did 20 and 30 years ago. 2. Farm couples have their first child sooner than city couples. 3. The later in life a man mar ries, the more chance he has of wearing the pants In his family. Christensen just completed a sampling of records of 1,531 per sons in Tippecanoe County, Ind. His findings will be Included In a bock to be published soon under the tit'.e “New Approaches to Family Data.” DISLIKES KINSEY WAY The Purdue professor believes the interview method employed by Kinsey researchers Is open to error CONDEMNED KIDNAPER COLLAPSES m \ C gw !§■ ! i Jpsv 2 fIU Ejfei V v 'w S rm HAiLy mecobp, qunn, h, c, because persons being interviewed are tempted to evade or falsify answers about their personal life. From his courthouse research, Christensen found that in the per iod between 1919 and 1921 the aver age interval Between marriage and the first baby was 17.6 lunar months. In 1929-1931, the interval had grown to 19.2 months,' and In 1939-41 the time was 213 months. “A logical ’explanation for this,” Christensen said, “may be the trend toward voluntary contracep tion among married couples.” He also found that the marriage birth Interval was shorter among younger couples. » “This is due to a preponderance of pre-marital pregnancy among younger people, and probably be cause of a desire to. start a family sooner after marriage.” Chrlsten send said..'. > * .' The records also showed that couples marrted in civil cere monies tended to have children sooner than- those who exchanged vows in church. This reflects the fact that a bby marrying a preg nant girl U nitre , likely to do so in a civil ceremony, He said. Another of his projects revealed that women who become pregnant after several. 3 ears of childless marriage generally have daugh : ters. Younger mothers who become pregnant soon after marriage tend to have boy babies. —’y . ■ Familiar Names In New York Campaign I ter KIRTLAND I. KING United Press Staff (Correspondent ALBANY, N. Y. BE Roosevelt ... Farley . . . Dewey. An ironic triangle oi politics is shaping up again around those three names, turnin’g the clock back to the days when three giants fought for the presidency. Tills time the prize is not quite so high and one of the contestants is the son of the Roosevelt who won the battles of the 19405. But the outline is strikingly par allel. For Rep. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr. Is clearly a candidate for gov ernor of New York this year. He 1 may have to bowl over James A. \ Farley to win the Democratic nom inaoan. And Gov'. Thomas E.

Most of the critics frown?d on the play, that theater goer 3 al- , ready had bought tickets on the strength of the names of Boyer and Mary Martin. But Boyer shrug ged off the defeat. “I enjoyed the play enormously,” he said. “It was fun to do. Actual ly, the audiences seemed to like it.
