BY CYNTHIA GREY Should the legal age of a girl be 21, instead of 18? There seems to be no doubt in the minds of those who must deal with the girl of 18. One of the strongest advocates of extending the age limit of girls from 18 to 21 years is Thomas F. Mitchell, former police detective in Spokane. Mr, Mitchell bases his argu-| ment on actual experiences gained from investigating cases of wayward or missing girla. Mr. Mitchell says: “In my estimation a law making a girl's legal age at 18 may have been all right 68 years ago, | but in this age of the bright lights, bobbed hair, short skirts, | rouge and jazz music, together with the coming of the auto-| | mobile, joy riding, road houses and many other temptations | | that were not in existence years ago, new regulations are | necessary. I have investigated many a case where a mere | | girl of 18 became independent, went away from home, stay- ing two or three days at a time, and when questioning her, | found that she had been attending wild parties, joy riding, | etc., many times being urged by older girls to do so because | she was of legal age and might do as she pleased, | “I have also been present when girls have been talked to) by broken-hearted parents, where the advice was simply | scorned because they knew they ‘were of age.’” | _ This is the experience of practically every officer who must | deal with this type of case. Rarely ever does a week pass | that I do not receive a letter from a worried father or mother | which tells the same story and asks the same question—what | todo. The only answer, of course, is a law that will permit) | parents to have jurisdiction over their daughters until they _are old enough to have common horse sense, at least, | | This situation will be remedied if a bill introduced in the | state legislature by Representative Mrs. Jessie B. Kastner 8e8. Mrs. Kastner's principal idea in proposing the new bill & because she believes if girls are kept under the control of | their parents for an additional three years it will do much! toward decreasing the list of unha early marriages. Mrs. | Kastner thinks the feminine mind of 18 ia far too immature to judge for itself. | What do you think, folke?

She says she will nover be happy again until When she was 16 she was visiting some friends of mine who have « boarding house and there met a man whom sho fell madly in love with. He persuaded her to run away with him and be married. They wore only married a few weeks when he was arrested for already having a wife and child.

This volume of deliveries to actual owners is entirely un- precedented for this time of the year— It has taxed the manufacturing ability of the Ford plants working at full capacity— It indicates a volume of business during the rapidly approaching months of “heavy demand” which will be far beyond the maximum production schedule which the Ford Motor Company has sett— ~ And that means a Ford shortage even more acute than the one which existed last Spring and Summer. Dealers’ stocks all over the country are low—there areno reserves to draw upon to meet the demands fordelivery—- | There is no way in which dealer reserves can be built up, as deliveries have been made to customers as fast as Cars could be manufactured since last April. . The only way you can protect your desire to obtain prompt delivery of a Ford even at this time is to place your order immediately. This emphasizes more strongly than anything we could possibly say the necessity of your making prompt arrangements with a Ford Dealer for the listing of your order, particu- larly if you are contemplating the purchase of a Ford Car or Truck for use this Spring or Sammer. “ We believe you are entitled to know these facts as they, : actually exist.
