London, March 13.--There can be
no real social rest without feminine
contentme Mt, and in England. where
women form the bulk of the popula-
ton, the effect OF their sex prepon-
derence seems to be wholly injurious
This was the subject of a lecture be-
fore the Institute OF Hygiene de-
livered ty DR.. r. Murray Leslie.
DR.. Maurray-Lesiie declared the
female excess was greater in Great
Britain than elsewhere. and the war
had aggravated this disturbing fac
tor, because the men who har fallen
represented either potential or ac-
tual husbands and fathers. There
are now over 100000 excess females
OF reproductive age.
The social effects of sex dispropor-
ton were demonstrated In the
crumbling OF the old ethical stand
ards. DR.. Muray-Leslie said. The
freedom of the modern independent
girl from the supervision OF her par
ents: the tendency to rebel against
discipline and conventional tram
mels; the cry for pleasure for pleas
ure's sake--all these tended to the
encouragement of a ISwer standard
Of morality. 1t is noteworthy that
in ireland the iIlegitimate birth
rate was tar lower than in any other
country in Europe, a fact that might
be attributed to the approximate
numerical equality OF the sexes in
that country.
1t ia In regard to marriage and
family life that female preponderance
is playing the most important part.
Never has there been so many un-
happy maria ges. Many married
women are demanding divorce by
mutual consent. as 1t Is contended
that the present rigid law condemns
many to the society of an utterly un-
congenial companion, while married
men often seek happier relation.
among the numerous unattached
women, Speaking from his own med
icai experience. DR.. Murray-Leslie did
not hesitate TO say that much OF the
existing unhappiness is traceabie to
ciandestine relations between young
women and married men,
An extraordinary diversity Of type
has emerged as direct outcome of
sex dispro portion. The domestic type
still forms the bulk in the industrial
classes. but is becoming rarcr in the
so called middle and upper classes
The social butterfly type has probably
never been SO prevalent az at present

The type contains . large proper
ton OF physically attractive girls with
strong reproductive instincts, and they
are ever vying and competing with
each other for the scarce and elusive
