MORE BACHELORS THAN MAIDS
Unmarried Men Are More Numerous
Than Are Single Women.

Unmarried Men Are More Numerous
Than. Are Single Women.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer: 1t
appears that people generally are
greatly mistaken in their notion that
there is an enormous surplus of Hnmar-
ried women in this country. The truth
is that no such excess of spinsters ex-
lists; in fact, it is quite the other way,
the bachelors outnumbering the maid
ems. At the present moment there are
in the United States 100000 more I'M
attached males than females similarly
situated, the exact figures being 5,427,-
767 bachelors against 1924, 1874 spin
sters OF ages from 20 years up. Thus
it is obvious that if girls do not find
husbands Il is not for lack of a plenti-
full supply of the article. What is re-
CURED, seeminglY is general migra-
ton Of spinsters from the north and
east to the great and growing west in
parts of which there are ten available
mates for every maid. From the last
remark, however, it must not be infer
AVO tddI 1uCIC 10 ill SACSSS Vi
unmarried women in the northern and
eastern states. Even in those parts of
the country. there are more bachelors
than sninsters 20 years old and upward.
Notwithstanding the theory to the con-
trary SO widely accepted. No state in
he union has as many maidens as
bachelors-not even Massachusetts,
where the figures are PIG, 255 spinsters,
against 226,085 bachelors. Massachu-
setts is the banner state for spinsters,
the bachelors outnumbe~ing them by
only tWo-tenths OF per cent. Next
comes Rhode Island, where the excess
of bachelors is 2 per cent. The ex-
cess Of bachelors in the District of Co.
lumbia is 8 per cent, in North Carolina
3 per cent, in New Hampshire 8 per
cent, in Connecticut 20 per cent, in
Maine 81 per cent and IN Vermont "a
per cent. In Maryland the bachelor
surplus Is 10 per cent, in New Jersey
1t is p per cent, in New Yock it is 20
per cent and in Virginia It is - per
cent. All Of these are low percent
ages so far as the superiority of bache-
lorF Ia point of numbers is concerned.

Theory Of Hunger.

We all know whom we arc hungry.
but we do nos know why we are hun.
cry? The WusCigntidc person will re-
PLY that We ere huurry becarse we
need food. and tt's is certainly true.
Professor AuUcUhcimcr. OF HCidel'
ucrg. agrees with this. bIt he agrees
that there Is much more TO be said on
the subject
According 90 the professor. tho sen
satlon OF hunger i5 felt by the human
being whenever. the food supply that
nourishes the stomach is deficient in
quality on the other hand. the long.
ing for food disappears whenever the
stomach IS filled. for at that time,
through the process OF digestion. the
necessary supply Of blood Is furnished
for the nourishmCnt OF the stomach.
This rule does not hold good In the
case OF many invalids. as. for example.
those suffering from chlcrosis. since
various tests show that they do not
feel hunger even when there Is no
food in their stomochs.
The reason for this. says the profes.
sor. "a because there is. as a rule. too
much blood in the vessels that serve
for purposes OF nutrition. Whenever
the stomach is more or less out or or
der In consequence OF q deficient blood
supply. n certain stimulus acts ON the
nerves. which are thus excited until
they cause the well known sensation
known as hunger.

A fierce electrical storm accompanied
by an hour and a halfs steay down pour
of rain broke over Jersey City about

the lightning, but SO far as is known no

Whole acres of tall meadow grass were
beaten down by the rain.
This was the second storm of the dav.
The one which broke over the city in the

were heavy roars of thunder The wind
rose to a gale, and before the rain came

dirt and other refuse of the streets. The

1t was steady downpour Of rain and the
city was deluged. Those who remained

hue and white caps were rolling uadlv
F'erryboats in the river crowded with
