\ Million British Women Doomed to Life of Spinster

power to elevate his ideals. Fortu-
nately for the million unfortunates
this Is leap year, and it IL going to
be lively season for British bach
elors.
Everybody is talking about the
leap year privilege and speculating
as to its bearing on the matrimonial
market, but, as is usual with such
matter, it is difficult to get any
one to discuss it seriously for publi-
cation. Mrs. Beatrice Heron-Max-
well, widely known English novel;
ist, says that the native chivalry of
men may prove embarrassing If girls
actually propose, as the men will feel
under obligation to accept for po-
liteness' sake. She says she knew
one girl who proposed to three men
in one evening and was accepted by
all Of them, the men not having the
courage to say no.
Mrs. George Norman, the drama
tist, believes that the girls do good
share Of the proposing every year;
that is, they all but" propose, and
the man does the rest. Miss Phyllis
Dare, English stage beauty, who
probably doesn't have to worry
about proposals, unless it is to find
way to head them off, said that,
in her opinion, If a girl cared for a
man there was no reason why she
shouldn't tell him.
Advocates Marriage Bureau
Winifred Graham, tho novelist,
who in private life is Mrs. Theo-
dore Cory, is carrying on an active
campaign in behalf Of an interna-
tional marriage bureau through
which unmarried women and WIFE
less men may be brought together.
Suppose, for example," she said,
that a young man In Canada, Aus
tralia or South America Is hard put
to discover the girl that he would
like to marry or one who would be
willing to share the loneliness Of an
isolated ranch, a mine, or pioneer
railroad building, he could write to
the consular bureau in the country
New-York tribune., 1920-04-25
from which he would like to choose

from which he would like to choose
a wife.
Governments have other bureaus,
so why not a bureau to deal with
the basis Of all life and enterprise?"
One remedy which has been seri-
ously suggested Is that every Briton
select one woman to be the mother of
his children and another to be his
intellectual companion. This plan is
dismissed by some who are opposed
to polygamy and by others who con-
tend that not every Briton needs an
intellectual companion, while many
Britons are not anxious to be called
father. Another argument in oppo-
sition is that raised by the high cost
Of living, but the reply here is that
!. would be good business policy for
the state to subsidize families, Just
as it Is doing in the case Of bread.
There is still another remedy.
Australia has a preponderance OF
men. So has Canada and New Zea-
land. England produced fine type
Of woman in the land girls who came
to the rescue Of the country In the
time Of the most acute food shortage.
Encourage these healthy, robust
young women to emigrate to the COL
onies is the advice of those who are
giving serious thought to the diff
cult problem Of finding life COM
panions for the excess Of women.
Has Fewest Boy Babies
Various causes are responsible for
the unhappy situation. OF all the
European countries Britain has the
smallest proportion Of boy babies.
On the other hand, the relative male
mortality is higher, while there is a
tremendous emigration annually of
the most virile males. During the
war Britain suffered heavy losses on
the field Of battle of the men who
should to-day be either potential or
actual husbands and fathers. From
whatever angle the situation is
viewed, 1t appears extremely serious

to the women, but to those who

who has Just returned from a trip
through several Southern states, she
said.
II am glad Of the opportunity to
say that residents Of the South are
more appreciative to-day than, ever
before of Theodore Roosevelt, the
typical American. AS history
sketches in the all-enveloping back
ground Of his sturdy Americanism
many Of the criticisms which South
erners had Of his individual policies
and acts seem to lose something
Of their pointedness. Perhaps 1t
would not be fair for me to make
this statement without certain quail
fications. In my recent visit to
Georgia, Florida and Louisiana I
met leading Southerners who can
not talk Of Colonel Roosevelt with
out recalling that he incurred their
criticism by entertaining Booker T.
Washington at the White House,
There Is no doubt that strong
minded men and women in the South
ssffered with Theodore Roosevelt on
this episode and other Of his official
acts while he was in Washington.
The Epic of Roosevelt
There is plenty Of evidence to
show, however, that tho remarkable
legend Of Roosevelt, the epic Of his
struggle for Americanism which
began In his birthplace on Twentieth
Street and continued until death
came to him in his sleep at Saga

South as it Is to the rest Of the

This Is the estimate Of DIR. r.
Murray Leslie, who is an eminent

In his opinion this sex dispropor-

ethical standards and q serious
lowering of the standards Of moral
ity. Other eminent authorities will
vouch for the fact that Britain needs
a million maids Of the serving class.

Feelings Unsmothered.
With those who are not summoned
to sit as jurors there is no effort to
smother feelings regarding just what
took place at Centralia on Armistice
pay, JUST now-r was planned IN ads
vance and just how it was executed.
They do not give he possibility of a
doubt to the stories that came out
immediately following the shooting.
However, these men. almost without
an exception, say they want to sec
fair and impartial trial. Press the
question of guilt or innocence further
and you get them back without any
effort to the positive statement of
guilt. Their idea of fairness appears
to be a conviction without trial.
In the court room there always is a
large number of men in uniform. In
the hall there is a similar scene and
on the streets Of the village there was
no such display of khaki before the
trial date. Almost over night the
town changed from the peaceful To-
cl,ing village to a community such as
often was found just at the close of
hostilities and the return of the ser
vice men from war.
AS to the effect or purpose in hav'
ing large number of men in uniform
parade about town where Others are
being tried for having shot ex-service
men, that may be well left to the
citizen of average intelligence to an
swer satisfactorily.
The explanation that wobblies
are so likely to be present and show
their desire to see their fellow work
ers liberated will not stand the aoil
test and that, too, is generally vel
known here.
