FRANCES SURPLUS OF GIRLS
Overwhelming Preponderance Of
Babies Born to Wives of War Vet
Grams Are Of Female Sex.

French physicians see in the nerv--
Gus reaction following the trials and
perils of war the explanation Of the
epidemic Of girl babies which has
swept France in the last year.
They base their conclusion on the
remarkable fact that, while over 80
per cent of the children recently born
to men who served under fire are girls,
60 per cent of the babies of war prof
iteers, slackers and men physically
unfit for combatant service have been
boys.
Soclologlsts looking into the future
predict that If the present dispropor-
tional feminine birthrate continues
over half of the girls born in France
in 1919 and 1920 will be doomed to
spinsterhood. The proportion Of young
and middle-aged married men In
France who saw no service on the
front is so small that the boy babies
born in their families are outnum-
bered more than two to one by the in
FAINT daughters of the war veterans.
While at loss to explain the work
ings Of the mysterious influence pre-
determining the sex Of the children
born to ex-soldiers, French physicians
agree that the relaxation of mems
nerves, suddenly relieved from the
high tension Of constant perils and
hardships, is at the bottom Of the puz-
zling question.
So long as the war continued and
men remained keyed to a high nervous
pitch their children were more often
boys than girls. Sixty-five per cent OF
soldiers babies born during the war
we're boys. Now that the hectic days
Of shot and shell are over the pendu.
lum of gravity has swung to the other
extreme, and the pages Of Frances
birth registers are filed largely with
names of newborn girl babies

A Patriotic Fighting Irishman.
One of the political sensations Of
the week has been the announcement
of Lieut., Colonel O. J. Duane of the
st. Peter Herald of his support of
Jake Preus for the governorship.
Duane was contender for the demo-
cratic nomination, won by Larry
Hodgson. He is democrat and has
been giving his support to his success
full rival for the nomination until Mon
day of last week, when Preus and
Shipstead both spoke and staged rival
demonstrations in st. Peter, the cradle
of Minnesota governors. The very
potent effort of the nonpartisans to
curry favor by appealing to un-Ameri-
can sentiment was more than patri-
otic fighting Irishman could stand. He
fought in France and keenly resents
anything that savors of compromise
with those who opposed the war. This
| is a trying campaign for democrats
in Minnesota. They kcenly resent the
unworthy and unfair attacks Of the re-
publicans on President Wilson and his
administration. They have an able
and worthy candidate for governor
whom they wish to support. Yet they
are patriotic above all else, and some
will forget party as Duane has done in
the state campaign.-Hutchinson Lea

A famous old mulberry tree In north

years ago it is said the American Dec

the weight of its age. American boy
scouts attending the international
scout conference in London visited
the tree only assfew days before it
crashed and its history was told to BOO
of them, who had their photographs
taken beneath its branches. The tree
stood on one of the lawns of the Mild
may conference hall. Many religious
leaders have addressed meetings un-
der its ample shade. Hundreds Of re.
quests for chips from the historical
tree are being received.

Cement Trust Talk Absolute Rot.
The opponents of the amendment
have had much to say in opposition to
concrete or hard-surfaced roads and
have talked great deal about the
cement trust in that connection. So
far as the cement trust" argument is
concerned it is so absurd that it is
ridiculous. Would person refuse to
erect a building or construct side
walk for fear Of enriching the So
called "cement trust?" Lumber is the
principal material that goes into a
building although considerable hard
ware is used. Do people decline to
build because in doing so they might
benefit the lumber trust? Any such
argument is not worthy of serious con-
sideration. There is an honest differ
ence Of opinion as to the advisability
of hard-surfacing the whole trunk
system, but the objection to hard
surfaced roads should not be directed
against the amendment, as nowhere
in its provisions does it call for any
particular type of road. That is a
matter that is entirely up to the legis:
!!lature.- Kanabec County Times.

WANTS PONZI RECEIVER
Wizards Lawyer Petitions for Ac- counts to Bc Put in Hands of Man Appointed by Allen.

Boston, Aug. 17.-It was agreed in the federal court today that Charles Ponyis quick riches scheme should be placed in receivership for the ben eft of the 10000 outstanding creditors wffose claims run into several mill lions of dollars.
 Counsel for Ponzi joined with pe- titioninE creditors and Attorney Gen. eral Allen in an agreement that a re- ceivership was advisable, but ad- vanced the possibility that Ponzi would prove to he solvent after all. and asked for representation in the roceivership. Judge Morton took un- der adNisernent the question whether one or three receivers would be named.
 The attorney general announced that his records of Ponzi liabilities as reported to him by note holders to date exceeded s3.Ooo.o00 with the morning mail Of 500 Ponzi letters still untabulated. The possibility of sol vency for Ponzi was advanced by Daniel V. McIsaac. his counsel. and was based on an estimate which he
 attributed 10 the attorney general. that liabilities would not greatly ex- ceed s3.00O.0O0. 'Ponzi having over s4,OO0.00O in assets 1t might easily be found he is solvent" he said.

AGED MOTHER NOT

London. Aug. 17.-Proposals by Premier Lloyd George in the house of commons yesterday that every facility be given the mother of Arch bishop Mannix of Australia to come to London from Ireland to visit her son was denounced as "preposterous' by the prelate in an interview with the Daily Mail. The archbishop said his mother could not possibly travel, owing to her age, no mtter how much assistance should be given her. He all so denied having said he wished to go to Ireland, he declared, 'it will be with all the freedom of a free citi- zen"
 He denied rumors that he had been summoned to Rome and said he ad- hered to his original intention to go to Rome at about Christmas time.
