Anxious to Marry Though Not 21. Town Clerk David Flagg was obliged to turn. down on Thursday a young man who came here from Worcester looking for a marriage license because the applicant was just three months under the age of 21 years. The case was one in which the sympathy of Mr. Flagg was aroused, but he could do nothing to help the young fellow out. The applicant for the license told Mr. Flagg that he was employed in [*Worcester as a machinist doing fine work on automobile crankshafts. |He said he learned never less than $13 a week and often earned as high as $13 a week, all of which he was obliged to give up to his parents excepting $1 a week. He claimed that he did not get a sufficient allowance to even keep de- cently clothed and, having found a fine young woman who was willing to marry him, he proposed to haye a home of his own. He had tried for a marriage license in cities in Rhode Island, he said, and had been refused on account of being under age, but left the local clerk’s office with the deter- mination to be married befere he went back to Worcester, So it is likely that the young man became 21 years of age before nightfall Thursday, He left here for another nearby tewn to get a marriage license, Necessary Precautions Take: Cases of diphtheria that have ap- peared in the city have caused some ap- prehension, but physicians say that there is nothing in the situation te be- come alarmed about.
