Are Women Going
To ALiOU IT.?

California husbands for French
wives is the latest suggestion Of
DR.. Paul Carnot. OF the Paris fac
ulty of medicine, for solving the
problem of Frances shortage of
males since the war.
According to recent statistics,
there are more than 100000 French
women who have the barest kind of
4 chance OF marrying, while Argen-
tina, portions of Canada and Cali
fornia are constantly complaining
that there are not enough women
for wives for their men.
Regarding California, DIR. Carnot
said that he had received scores OF
letters from California asking for
information and advice about
French wives, but inasmuch as his
office was not designed as matri-
monial agency he suggested that
the French government investigate
the case or establish bureau TO
introduce marriageable women.
"The French do not like to emit
crate" he said, land therefore,
why not bring American and other
husbands here? There would be no
great difficulty in doing this, as the
whole world admires France, and
comforts and wines are always to
he found here"

The San Bias Indians occupy the

Their coast and islands are said

of any of the American Indians,
as no men in the world have guard
cd their women with more jealous

In country everywhere touched
