WOMEN ouTNuM6ER MEN
By MoRETHAN MILLION

London.-Sir James Chichton-Brown
speaking before the York Infant Well
fare association. said that the excess
OF females over males in Great Britain
estimated at 1905. 81 in 1918, must
now beTvery much more. There had,
English masculinity during the last
year; but temporary fluctuations in
the rate were common, and no safe
conclusions could be founded on the
figures so far quoted.
Soldiers returning from the war
married in large numbers, so some
rally in the birth rate might be an
ticipated, but such evidence as they
possessed suggested a probable fur
ther decline in masculinity.
