WOMEN LOVE BUT ONCE
Marriage License Clerk Explains
Why Men Remarry More Often.

Why Men Remarry More Often.
"Men like married life better than
do women" asserts Alex Stewart.
Detroit's marriage license clerk, talk
ing direct issue with Shakespeare's
remark that imam love is of his life
a thing apart, tits woman.s whole ex-
| istence.'
Take the case of Noah De Hate of
| Crosse Pointe," said Mr. Stewart.
"IIe has just started on his fourth
marriage. 1t is no common thing to
find men getting married for the sec
ond, third and fourth time. While
VIC have no reliable statistics, | be-
lieye it is safe to say that 20 per
cent. of the men who get marriage
| licenses in Wayne county have been
married at least once before.
'Do women banker after second
marriage the way men do? | should
say not. or course, there are a few
widows who want to tie up again, but
scheming, the number who apply
\ mere Tor licenses Is comparatively
| negligible
This disparity between the num-
bers of widows and widowers is not a
condition of a week, a month, or a
year. | have noticed it for several
years and have often asked men why
they desire second marriages. Few
OF them said it was because of love.
and love alone. Most said it was be-
cause they were lonesome or longed
for some one TO take household re-
sponsibilities off their shoulders. or
needed a woman to care for their
children
but all the men admitted that
their lives were incomplete in one
way or another, without wives. 1t
seems as if nowadays marriage is
moro essential to man than wo-
man. .t.ssg

M0RGANS FLOAT
Big FRENCH LOAN

NEW YORK. June 22-Confirma-
tion OF the much discussed French
credit by American bankers was re-
ceived today when J. i. Morgan a
Company announced the virtual com
pletion OF a one-year loan 10 the
Paris branch OF the Rothchildrs. the
latter acting for the French govern
ment and the Bank OF France. as
well as a syndicate OF Frencn
bankers.
The amount OF the loan and It's in
terest yield are yet TO be determined.
but IL Is intimated that the sum II
not likely TO exceed S5OO0O. 900 at
approximately 3 per cent. IL Will be
secured by collateral in the form o.
high grade American railway bonds,
TO be placed With Morgan a Com
pany. These bonds include some or
the senior securities of America 8
premier roads. of which many mil
lions OF dollars worth are owned by
French investors.
The proceeds of the loan will be
used by the French government for
payment here of its heavy CONNER
cial obligations incurred in the pur-
chase of war supplies and foodstuns.
II Is believed that the outcome OF
this transaction will tend materially
to relax the strained credit condi-
tions between this center and Paris
and bring some ease to the London
exchange market. which has been
the financial medium between New
York and Paris of recent months.
