OPINIONS DIFFER GREATLY That it is never too late, but often too early, to marry is the belief of prominent Evanston physicians. The age of "sense," it was declared, Is 30; any love coming before that ag« is "puppy love." The views of the women were directly at variance with the state- ments made by Dr. Frederick A. Hoffman of England, who., in the capacity of delegate to tte Interna- tional Eugenics Congress at London, declared the best ages for marrying was between 23 and 26 for men and women alike. "Then," he said, "we are at our best physical, mental and moral de- velopment, and both the men and women are sufficiently plastic and malleable readily to adjust them- selves and become mutually compli- mentary. Do it at Their Peril. "On the other hand; people ovec 30 who wish to marry do so at their peril. At this age or over a man is generally so strongly individualized, so set to his judgments, that too often in courting a wife he is only courting disaster." "It is never too late, but some- times too early, to marry," retorted a prominent local physician this morning. "The flexibility of youth described by Dr. Hoffman, as we grow older, is changed to adaptability, which is much more valuable. At the early age, the man dominates; the wife merely follows the leader, while if the couple had waited six or seven years they would not have been ruled by domination, but by adaptation. "The whole life of a married pair is the mutual contemplation of ex- perience. If this mutual contempla tion is not superimposed by the domlnition ot one their liv^ should be happy. "Of course it is debirabio «o hav*> children when young, but me only reason for this is that whe.i you are grown up the childrea will be ad- vanced In years also. When you are old yon miss the pleasure of having the children any length of time." Just Getting Sense. "People are just beginning to have sense when they are 30. They should not think of marriage before that age. "As a matter of fact, young men and young women are scarcely through with their education for life when they are 26. They should not get married before they are out of school. That would never do. "Especially is this true of people who prepare for professions. The men who do this are never ready to take up their professional work be- fore they are 26 or 30. Women are growing more and more Into pro- fessional life and they, too, are not completing their education much be- fore 30. Not Ready Before 30. "Under these conditions the man is not ready to provide for a part- ner before he is 30, and until he is comfortably situated he should not marry. His moral development In character, too, Is not really formed before the age of 30. "The early age love, 'puppy love,* does not amount to much. Neither the man or woman knows his or her own mind when 26. They do not know what they want, and as a re suit of the marriage is founded on incompatibility. "The ideal age for a m^n to marry, I should say, is from 32 to 33. His partner should be ir ore thsn two years his junior."

FLATTERY AN INCENTIVE DOCTORS GUT TINY BABY OUT OF A MAN'S HEAD Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 15.--For the second time in the history of medicine and surgery a complete embryonic in- fant has been removed from a man afflicted with «* dermoid cyst. Isaac Willderstein, a patient at the County hospital here ^ad been rffected with a growth at the side <"' the head, which physicians thought to be a tu- mor. Upon being opened, however, there was removed an embryonic infant, well shaped. The physician who per- formed the operation and made the re- markable discovery was Dr. T. A. Sul- livan. The operation was made necessary through the fact that the patient had shown paralytic symptoms, traced di- rectly to the growth at the left side of his head. The contents of the cyst were more developed than aDy ever re- corded in the annals of medicinal his- tory. WOMEN Many vvotncn bank at the City National Bank 'because we gi attention to t nessyf It ofte men use t k, ye hesitate themselves of antages. Every woman who come* to this bank in queaf of information or ad*€ce, may be assured friendly considera- ion and courteous treatment. \m National Capital Md Surplus MORRIS AND WOOD IN ANNUAL RIVER SWIM Many Kvanstoaians took places along the banks of the Chicago river Saturday afternoon to watch the an- nual river "marathon" in which two local swimmers, Joseph Morris, the academy aquatic star, and Irving Wood, crack swimmer of the last year's Purple freshman squad, took part The swim, which was two and one- half miles long, was won by W. R. Vosburg, who led the University of Illinois swimming team to the wesfern title this year. Morris finished eighth and after crossing the finishing line he collapsed. He had to be taken from the water. Morris swam under the colors of the Illinois Athletic club, under whose auspices the race was held. PASTOR AIDS BASHFUL MEN TO GET WIVES Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 15.--"if any poor, bashful man In my audience has fallen in love with some worthy woman, and want* to meet her for a wife, I will see that he is introduced, has a place to court, will help him get his license, pay for it if necessary, marry him free of charge and furnish him with a wedding certificate which lie may hang over the motto, "God Bless Our Home." This was the offer made Sunday by Rev. G. L. Morrill, a prominent Minneapolis pastor, in his sermon on "The Masher Mashed." "If those fellows seem to want a hot time, girls," the pastor advised, "wal- lop him with your bag and then throw red pepper in his eyea" Speaking on eugenics, the Rev. Mor rill said: "Woman was made to marry and not to be a religiouB recluse, eld maid or typewriter, unless she possesses some defect *f mind or body which would result k$iblM90&. ********* Berlin, Aug. 15.--"All the world flirts," says Edward Fttchs in his his- tory of morals and customs from the middle ages down to the present, which is soon to come from the press and which contains the earliest his- tory of the art of flirting. "The difference between flirting at the present time and in the past," says the author, "is that it is less oen now owing to the stronger con- trol exercised by public morals. "Flirting is now more discreet in form, but its limits are not made narrower thereby. On the contrary there is a hundred times as much flirting today as there was 100 years ago. The inclination to flirt is per- fectly natural and is found even among animals." Flirts Are "Speaking Mirrors/* Mr. Fuchs declares flirting In- creases afi the obstacles to marriage increase. Increased flirting is also caused by marriages of convenience. Discussing the psychology of flirting the author calls flirts "bpeaking mir- rors." Men and women--particularly women--flirt because they like to have said of them things which flat- ter. Mr. Fuchs strongly disputes the idea that flirting is a French and American specialty. He considers flirting international, having- found that every country differs in its method of flirting, according to class and race. More Decent In Middle piass. He finds flirting "more decent and refined" in the middle classes than among the bourgcise and nobility and less harmful among the factory prole- tariat. In the best society of Russia flirting is placed on an organized basis by the formation of "cjurts Of love." That women are fond of flirting with men of other races and color Mr. Fuchs tries to show by citing the attentions showered upon the negroes by the women of Paris and Berlin. ... COMMUNICATIONS August 5, 1912. North Shore News, Evanston, 111. Gentlemen:--I note with pleasure that the front page of a recent issue is devoted largely to the promotion of the project for a harbor on the lake front, between f)avis street and uni- versity place. The following statistics show the i«»gi?it!ide of the work of the life saving station, and may be of interest: For the year 1911 there were eight wreck reports. The total amount of property involved was $57,025. As- sistance was rendered to thirty-eight persons. Eleven trips were made by the boat. In addition to this there were three cases of assistance to pri- vate yachts and three additional trips with the boat, and six persons aided were not brought In. For the year 1910 (unusually light) there were five wreck reports. Eleven persons assisted and property In- volved to the value of $3,800. For the year 1909 there were four wreck reports; 12 trips with the boat, twenty-six persons and property of the value of $191,750 Involved. For the year 1908 there were four wreck reports, four trips with the boat, seventy-five persons and property involved to the amount of $40,030. For the year 1907 there were five trips with the boat, thirty-three per- sons, and property Involved to the amount of $362^20.

Ijj* vobred. -. .'. $--.■-----■■•-■■• Most people do not realise the mag. nitude of the operations of this sta- tion. All vessels that go up and down the lake lay their course by the Groat Point light., This means that in thick weather Gross Point Is of particular meance to navigation. , Experts say that a harbor is needed south of the Point The modern type of lake^oing vaa- sel is larger and of a deeper draught than the ships which sailed the lake in former years. Naturally the new boats ground at greater distance from the shtfre than the old. Toe old beaeh apparatus was designed to reach 300 yards from the shore hut is practical- ly useless at the present time, because wrecks occur as far as two miles east of the Gross Point light Life boats now going to the assistance of wrecks get the full force of the current and the full sweep and strength of the sea. These conditions necessitate the use of modern ^equipment by lite saving stations, consisting largely of high- power gasoline boats of great speed. Conditions prevailing along the shore between Chicago and the naval station render it impossible to use these high-power boats without pro- viding a harbor for they cannot be launched on the open water Of the lake. The practice of sailihg with small boats for pleasure is constantly in- creasing, notwithstanding the danger incurred. On any Sunday, holiday or Saturday afternoon in the season, it is not at all unusual to see fifty boats or small yachts between Evanston and Chicago. These boats are with- out a practicable harbor, nearer than Chicago. In view of the increasing number cf sportsmen, Who engage* ill this dangerous form of pleasure, Such a harbor would be of itself a mean! of saving life. I hope the Evanston News will con- tinue its efforts U> secure from con- gress the necessary appropriation. Touts respectfully, Samuel Topliff. tm We No i Cnltnj M 70S Main St. t«i. lee* gvi in Iniflira :j(3f$^Jjb&' J-../I Editor North Shore News: I am writing to enlist your co-op- eration in locating two boys who ran away from a boys1 school near Chi- cago on July 12.
