A “Navy Marriage” in the South Seas 
Some of our readers may be interested 
in the following matter: The war has 
brought about many strange marriages or 
escapades on the part of young people. 
There are many who married in haste, 
and now certainly have abundant leisure 
for repenting. In the case now reported 
a New England boy, less than 38 years 
old. enlisted in the United States Navy. 
While serving in the Southern Pacific, he 
seems to have been married to an Ha¬ 
waiian woman, located in the territory 
of Hawaii. The relatives are greatly 
concerned over this, and applied to us to 
know whether the marriage of this minor 
in the United States service to such a 
woman could be broken. We applied for 
information at various departments at 
Washington, and we were told that the 
laws governing Hawaii would settle this 
case, it being out of the jurisdiction of the 
United State Government. We therefore 
applietl to the Governor of Hawaii, who 
I never hear a complaint from my neigh¬ 
bors having this kind of truck, and they 
seem to be always on their job in good 
and bad weather. FLOYD B. WHITE. 
Westchester Co., N. Y. 
I have a two-ton truck, internal gear 
drive, with hard tires. This is the sec¬ 
ond truck of the same make I have pur¬ 
chased. I have used this truck three 
years; the one before it two years. It 
is still in operation by the other party. 
If I were to buy another truck, I would 
buy with hard tires. My hauls are short, 
from three to live miles. If I were to 
haul peaches or soft fruit five to 30 or 20 
miles, I think I would like the pneumatic 
tires. They claim they are easier on a 
truck and the load rides easier, whirl) 
I think is true, but I have never had any 
experience along that line, and they do 
not slip as badly on slippery. pavements. 
Wayne Co., N. Y. w. p. Rogers. 
While I have been drawing fruit, ber¬ 
ries. etc., on the market for five years a 
distance approximating 20 miles, over 
all kinds of roads, I do not pose as an 
expert on trucks. I have, however, tried 
out four distinct types, and have studied 
more or. less about every type coming on

very courteously gives tie full information. 
Under the laws of Hawaii, parties con¬ 
tracting a marriage contract must not be 
related to each other nearer than the 
fourth degree of consanguinity ; the male 
at the time of his marriage must be at 
least 38 years old, and the female at 
least 35 years old. The license must be 
obtained with the usual observance in 
other countries. The law, however, states 
that when a male under 20 years of age 
or a female under 38 years is to be mar¬ 
ried, the. consent of parent or guardian, 
if within the territory, must be obtained. 
Therefore, ii the guardian o/ this young 
man had been a resident of the territory, 
he could object to the marriage and have 
it annulled at the present time. In this 
case the guardian lives outside the terri¬ 
tory. No such action can be taken, and 
the marriage is valid. We give consid¬ 
erable space to this matter because there 
are, evidently, other cases of a like na¬ 
ture. Life is very open and free among 
the South Sea Islands, and evidently a 
number of our young men in the navy 
have married women of that section, 
greatly to the trouble of their relatives. 
From what is here written it is evident 
that such a marriage will stand. 
Selecting a Truck 
I am about to purchase a truck, and 
some dealers recommend chain drive, 
hard, solid tires, and platform springs;. 
others worm-gear drive, pneumatic tires 
and single cross axle spring. I have 
reference to small, 3 to 1^4-ton truck. 
Some claim they can pull heavier loads 
with chain drive, but are not so fast in 
making the distance. In this section are 
many chain trucks, hut almost everyone 
claims his next will be a worm drive. I 
claim for riding fruit pneumatic tires 
should be used. H. w. 
New Jersey. 
My own experience is limited to a light 
truck with pneumatic tires, as most of 
my heavy or bulky crops are sold on the 
farm, and the purchaser sends his own 
two or 10-ton trucks here for it. Eggs 
and small fruit are the products I have 
to handle, and must have an easy-riding 
truck. As to purchasing another. T 
would prefer worm d-ive and pneumatic 
tires, except for excessive weight trucks. 
the market. For drawing berries ^and 
small fruits I 'consider pneumatic tires, 
or some device to overcome solid tires, 
absolutely essential to have the stuff ar¬ 
rive in good condition. For other fruits 
solid tires are good as any, less trouble¬ 
some and more economical. 
For a truck of small capacity, 1 to 3 % 
ton, I would not consider a chain drive. 
To it man located a long way from mar¬ 
ket. one of the most essential things for 
everyday work is speed (also one of 
the most dangerous and expensive). To 
him who has short hauls and heavy loads, 
it is of small importance. As to what 
kind I would buy then, one with pneu¬ 
matic tires, if for berries or small fruit, 
and of sufficient speed if for long every¬ 
day runs. By that I do not mean a 
one-fruit season, or rather the season of 
ripening or marketing of one kind of 
fruit, but going practically every day 
from Spring until the holidays, and of 
sufficient capacity not to require over¬ 
loading. WILLIAM IIOTAI.JNG. 
Hudson River Valley, N. Y. 
My first truck was a five-ton model, 
made in Connecticut, and I soon had an 
orphan on my hands; a big truck with 
no responsible maker behind it. My next 
was a three-ton model, with a well-known 
service behind it. In running a fleet of 
trucks to New York one Summer we only 
found three machines that would bear up 
under the strain. I have found the worm 
drive very satisfactory. My carting busi¬ 
ness is not as large as it used to be, and 
during these last two years I have done 
my hauling with a l^-ton truck, worm 
drive, and my total expense for repairs 
and supplies, other than gas and oil. has 
not amounted to $5. I would greatly 
prefer a worm drive truck, for the chains 
are always a source of noise, bother and 
oxnense. iiorace Roberts. 
New Jersey. 
Noticing one of her pupils nibbling at 
some luncheon in school one day, the 
teacher called the culprit to the desk. 
“You know,” she began sternly, “that you 
must not eat during lesson hours. Now, 
as a punishment, you must stand in front 
of the class and oat every bit of it.” The 
small boy did as he was told, a curious 
grin overspreading his face. The teacher 
misunderstood that grin until the last 
scrap had disappeared, when from the 
class a small voice wailed in tearful ac¬ 
cents: “Please, teacher, that wasn’t his 
lunch he was eatin’—it was mine.”—New 
York Globe.
