|MlR WILL BRING GREATER
| FREEDOM TO FRENCH WOMEN
BY HENRY WOOD.
Inited PresZ Staff Correspondent.

Uses TO end in France what has CON
lstituted in the past the greatest OBJ
stacle to general marriage namely
the dot" that is exactcd of ever

| So deeply Is the custom implanted
In French life that any girl whose
parents are not able 10 provide he'll
with d dot has such a small chance

or hope. French women, who have
come from families OF modest means,
otter have declared that the neccssi-

a. moments Of childhood TO save
every penny in The hope OF occurring

msrriagable age really robbed them
of all that goes t. make up girlhood

While It is generally conceded
tisat this necessity of having dot"
L4s maie the French woman the
most efficient and economic home
n.aGager in the world and also re-
licves her OF 'slavedom,' yet it has
greatly restricted marriage in
France. II has entailed also the dis
advantage OF limiting every girls
choice to that particular class in the
social aud intellectual scale to

Since the beginning OF the prevent
war, an active propaganda has been
esrried on in France To put marri-
age on the American and English
bssisTa basis purely OF love on

tho full responsibility of providing
fer his wife ard children.
Were the hopes of these people to
establish "dotless" marriages in
France based solely on the success
of their propaganda, they probably
would not succeed. A motner who
consented to her sons marriage to

of football practice among the
schools OF the Big Nine conference,

The call for football material was
sent out last week by coaches in all
the schools, who want their playel $
under their guiding wing soon.
Although football practice in this
section will not open until the mid
die of the month. the coming OF
September has found the men eager
for practice. Some candidates for
the gridiron are making the trip all
the way from the Mexican border,
where they went with the national
guard.
