SERIOUS ROUEN!
THEFUTURE OF 2,000,000
MARLUAGEA.BLE GIRLS.
How to Conserve the Purity of
French Race and Ensure
Its Increase.
France is taking up seriously the
problem of her 2,000,000 marriageable
girls, who as a result of the war's
losses can, never hope to have hus-
bands,
About the economic future of these
girls and women France is not worry-
ing
orrying Inuch. She is convinced they will
have no difficulty in taking care of
themselves. The 2,000,000 vacancies
created in French economic life by
her killed and mutilated during the
war will afford them opportunities for
becoming self -dependent.
But what does worry France is this:
• At a moment when the future of
the French race is threatened by a
death rate that exceeds her births and
when the national economic life Is
handicapped by a shortage of human
beings, those 1 wo million potential
• mothers are condemned, to unproduc-
tiveness.
Same Problem in England.
The problem in France, thus set
forth in a despatch from Henry Wood,
United Press staff correspondent in
Paris, has its counterpart in England,
where the oversurplus. of women num-
bers 1,500,000, and is growing rapidly,
with an incident decrease in the male
birth rate, and the female preponder-
ance already has caused the crumbling
„
of old ethical standards. Statiticans
say that .chances of every English
woman finding her proper mate has
long since passed. Meanwhile the
labor market is depriving the nation
of its best potential mothers, the
social butterfly, both male and female,
is more prevalent than ever and
scientists, despite great efforts, so far
have failed to devise a remedy.
Specialists studying the subject in
France see only two alternatives, gays
the United Press correspondent.
Either France mast overcome, the pre-
judices and customs which in all
civilized countries have always sur-
rounded the "natural child," or child
born out of wedlock, or else France
must consent to these two million
, girls and women finding husbands
among foreigners. This latter solu-
tion would of course mean tiro begin-
ning of the enol of pure French blood
and race.
Ma-u'ice-de Waleffe, one of the best
known French writers and a specialist
on the subject, thus discusses the
Problem:
"Aside from the 1,500,000 losses
during the war that concleum to
sterility a corresondiug number of
French women, two other causes bring
this total up to two million. First,
there is the established disproportion
between male and female birth, our
French statistics showing 107 baby
girls for every 100 boy babies. Second-
ly, there is the increased cost of liv-
ing which is driving large numbers of
men to celibacy. We can, therefore,
estimate at two million the number of
French girls for whom no husband is
possible.
'But what worries us is the four or
five million babies that we could nor-
mally expect from these two million
women. That is the wealth that we
must seek to save in onr present
alarming state of decreased natality.
Two Courses to Pursue.
"There are only two ways and only
two ---not three, Between them we
Must choose. Either we must accept
• the natural born child or else we must
accept a. foreign child.
"If we want to conserve the purity
of the French blood and the French
race then we must accept the natural
child, which will necessitate the com-
plete and active protection of its girl -
mother, with maternity homes and the
Ima.terial welfare of child and mother
ssuured over a period of several
months. Finally without entrance
formalities and without incongruous
publicity the child must be adopted by
the State.
"If this solution proves' shocking,
for it of course entails the abandon-
ment of a very old prejudice that has
very respectable roots, then we must
• favor marriages with foreigners, but
• in this case we Must theta do every.
;things possible to oblige the husband
to occupy life wife's fatherland and
to become installed there so that we
nay have the fruits of their marriage.

Because the hollow fibres of cotton
are loaded with oxygen they buru

to cotton, which is already loaded
with oxygen, oil, which is also loaded
with oxygen, the excess of oxygen is

The Cause of Failure.
Td be successful, farming mun b
made a business. Failures an farm
ing are as often due to negleetie
the business side as to any oche
cause. Farmers who neglect to kee
exact records of their receipts an
expenditures should ponder the :fol
lowing extract from'- the •I''ebruar
"Teller," issued by the Sterling Bank
"When asked recently by the Na
tional 'Association of Credit Me
what in their opinion was the the.
cause of business failures, 10,00
merchants replied ;almost to a man
'Failure to keep books.' About th
same time, another investigatio
among 6,000 merchants taken a
random from all parts of the coup
ty showed that only 10 per cen
kept records that 'told them: Wha
they had' in stock; what profit the
were making; what their expendi
ture was Tor selling, advertisin
and other items of overhead; wha
particular part of their busines
,,was profitable or unprofitable."
Every farmer who does not kee
books should make up his mind t
begin. Send to the Commission o
Conservation for a free copy of th
"Farmer's Account Book."

The well child is a joy to the home
it is a laughing, gurgling, happy littl
piece of humanity which drives dul

baby is the opposite—he is cross and
Peevish; cries a great deal and is a
source of constant worry to the
mother. But mothers there is no
need of your little ones being sickly.
Regulate the baby's bowels and sweet

thorough laxative and baby will soon

of mothers have proved this through
their use of Baby's Own Tablets

"Now, iuy amen," snarled the ser-
geant -major, haughtily, "answer my
questions smartly. What did you do
fora living before you joined the
Army?"
"I was a clerk in an office," replied
the private, Happily.
"Washing out the ink -pots, 1'spose?"
sneered the autocrat,
"No, sir!" replied the private,
sweetly. "We employed a retired ser-
geant -major for that sort of work."
Making Use of the Useless
What to do with the
amount of furnace slag that accumu-
lates in the iron foundaries was suc-
cessfully solved some timeago by an
English concern, which has converted
this slag into paving flags, paving
tiles, bricks, ete.
The process of making the paving
Sags is about as follows: The slag is
carried to a crusher having a capacity
of about one hundred tons daily,
where it is broken up and then taken
to screens, where it is graded, the
Coarse being ruu into cars to be used
as ballast and the rest subjected to
further crushing. The excess dust is
removed by screening and used for
the manufacture of tiles.
The slag suitable for paving flags
is mixed in a dry state with a,cenlent
like material and then. water Is added
and the whole thoroughly incorpor-
immense, ated. A pressure of four hundred tons
is exercised upon this mixture by a
hydraulic pressand all tht moisture
is :forced out, leaving a hard, dense
block of uniform character.
A different cementing material is
employed in making tiles from the
dust, the effect being to give the mix-
ture a certain amount of plasticity
which. allows. It to be moulded by me-
chanical means and permits it setting
into a dense mass. If rapidity of pro-
duction is desired the action of set-
ting can be accelerated by artificial
means and the goods, made ready for
use within twenty-four hours. The ad-
dition of coloring matter allows the
construction of building blocks of
various hues. Experience with these
slag materials shows that exposure
to cold and frost has 110 effect except
to produce a greater hardness in the
material.

Th tckeray's Alppetite.
It was at Antwerp that `fhaekeray,
who loved his food 104 well tss a.,y
man, enjoyed one of the best dinners
of his life,
It consisted, he wrote, "of green
pea soup, boiled salmon., muesels,
crimpled skate, roast meat patties,
melon, carp stewed with mnslil c nns
and onions, roast turkey, cauliflower,
filets of venison, stewed calf's ear,

cept five, thirteen and fourteen., I ate
all, with three rolls of bread and a
score of potatoes."
Those twenty potatoes that Thacke-
ray enjoyed at Antwerp to maintain
his six -foot -three of hulk remind one
of... the dreadful disillusion of Char-
lotte laroute when she carne to Lon-
don and sat opposite her literary man
at dinner. "Oh, Mr. Thackerayt" she
cried In shocked surprise as she
watched him eat. She had never
imagined a hero who ate potatoes by
the score.
