HUSBAND FAMINE.IN ENGLANDI WAR EVERY TWO YEARS.
Surplus of Women is Estimated at
Million and a Half.
The house famine, referred to by
clergymen as a deterrent to marriage
because of the difficulty of setting up
homes, is not the sole cause of the
falling off in weddings, says a Lon-
don despatch.
An authority states that there are
more- thaw ,1,500,000 women in this
country who will have no chance of
marriage, for the reason that there
is not sufficient men. Ian 1917 the
surplus of single women over single
men was 1,337,000.
Sir Robert ArrnstrongJones, M.D.,
told a Daily Mail Representative that
he did not think the estimate of 1,-
500,000 surplus of marriageable wo-
men over marriageable men too high
A geat number of girls realize that

That Has Been the Average Since the
Days cf Napoleon.
There is a war somewhere on the
earth, on an average, every two years.
That is the record of history which
confronts the Peace Conference when
it turns aside from the urgent busi-
ness of dictating a peac,,p to Germany,
to think about contriving some pl
that will make war impossible here-
after.
A casual glance down the list of
wars since Napoleon's time, indeed,
might suggest to some minds the ques-
t tion if it would be really wise to set
lup' an agency that would "guarantee"
the world . against war -assuming the
possibility of securing any such guar-
antee.
The apparent fact is that wars have
Isometimes accomplished a great deal
of food for the world. They have
settled important moral questions
perhaps about as aften as they have
the question of which side is stronger.
There are many indeed who believe
that it is well that the greatest of all
i. wars, through which the world has
'Init. passed, was not postponed inde-
finitely, in view of the fact that Ger-
many was what she was.

BRITISII AIRSHJP
FLIES 1,285 MILES
OVER THE NORTH SEA IN FORTY
AND HALF HOURS.
Probable World's Record Set in Ter-
rific Storm With One Engine
Useless and Crew Seasick.
The first account is now officially
published of a remarkable ting dis-
tance flight over the North Be which
was performed by a British non -rigid
airship, the US -11, recently.
The voyage took the form bt a cir-
cuit, embracing ,the \ coast of Den-
mark, Schleswig Holstein, Heligoland
North Germany and Holland. The
trip was characterized by extreney
unfavorable weather and therefore is
regarded as ranking as perhaps the
most notable flight of the kind Over
undertaken.
The total length-of:the rouli-t trip -
was 1,285 air miles, and the time taken -
was about forty and a halt hours.
Troubles on Return Journey.
The airship started from the Firth
of ?Forth, laying a straight courses to-
ward Denmark. There was a north-
west wind of fifteen to ,twenty miles
an hour and the night was dark, but
the airship was only a mile from her
course when she passed the Dogger
I3ank Lighthouse. ` After passing the
lighthouse the velocity of the wind i11 -
creased, and calcium 'flares were drop -
mod into the sea frequently to deter-
mine the location.
The airship's troubles began on the' —
return journey. The wind became
stronger and more tempestuous. At
midnight ono engine became useless
and the ship was forced a" consider-
able distance, to leeward.
The captain contemplated landing
In France, but finally decided to hold
on is the hope that the_wind would
abate. The wind abating somewhat,
.a 'land -fall" was made at North Forel.
'At this time the gasoline supply was
running low, ' and only ,one engine
could be kept running.
During the last stage -of the voyage
the wild was very violent, and the
crew had the greatest difficulty In
Controlling the ship. All suffered in-
tensely from seasickness, especially
the pilots and coxswains.

voyage ever made by a British air

a world's record for non -rigid air-
ships.

Tomat,to Growing. -
Where growers of tomatoes have
a suitable place for starting plants
it is recommended that they %should
grow their own stock. By careful
selection from individual plants from
year to year a variety may be much
inproved from the standpoint of
learliness, uniformity, and productive-
ness. ,When sown in greenhouses, in
a sunny window, or in a hotbed the
seed should be sown -in boxes or flats
containing three or four inches of
soil. The seed is usually sown in
rows about four inches apart from
one-quarter to one-half inch deep, the
soil firmly pressed. down with the
hand and made moist but not wet.
When the rough leaves appear the
1. little plants are transplanted into
other flats or 'hotbeds about two
l inches apart each way. Further
transplanting to about six inches
apart is recommended as soon as the
plants commence to crowd each other.
