ONE can't understand why all of the
candidates should throw their hats in
to the ring. Hats cost money and when
they are thus carelessly flung about
they are likely to be damaged before
they are restored to the Uranium of
the wearer 1t is such squandering of
property that lays the foundation for
corruption charges against our pres
ent day politician. He should cease
hurting his hat into the center. Why
not place it or lie it in the ring with

its safe return?

IS WAR BRINGING MORE
 BOY BABIES TO ENGLAND?

LONDON, Jan. 22.-Is war respon- sible for a greater and increasing proportion of boy babies? This ques- tion is engaging the attention of British medical authorities following the Registrar-Generars report that all records for boy babies born in 36 large towns in England and Wales have been broken during the last nine months.
 As against 100 female births, 1,032 boys were born in January and March; 1,O4S in April and June and 1,O55 in July, August and September. Advance records indicate that the ratio will be even greater from October to January, 1916 A theory that some natural law, yet undiscov- cred, lends to the birth of more boys than girls during a nations war stress is partially borne out by re- ports from Austria, where male births have exceeded female births during the war, to an even greater extent than in England.
 Professor W. D. Halliburton, Dean of Medicine at Kings college, London, discussing the subject, declared to- day that there is no scientific theory to justify the belief.
 "The fact is there" he stated. "We must look upon it as a wise dispensa- ton of Providence. One popular ex- planation is that the anxiety or priva- tion of the mother during the pre- natal period has some influence on determining the sex of her child. But no scientific explanation warrants such an idea" Professor Arthur Dendy of the Geological and Animal Biological faculty, Kings College, de- clared that prevailing birth conditions could not be attributed to mere coin cidence. He was unable to explain further.
 Official records made public by the Registrar-General also said that the marriage rate for England and Wales during the last three months was the highest in history-2L8 person per 1000.
