FRANCES SURPLUS OF GIRLS
Overwhelming Preponderanee o
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,
go per cent of the babies Of war prof
zfteefs, tsrackers and men physically
unfit for combatant service have been
boys.
i" Schoolgirls 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 0utnum-
bered more than two to one by the in
FAINT daughters of the war veterans.
While At loss to- explain the work
sinsS 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-
cling question.
50 long az the war continued and
men remained keyed to high nervous
pitch their children were more often
boys tfansgirls Slxty-hve per cent of
soldiers babies born during the war
were boys. Now that the hectic days
nof shot and shell are over the pendu-
slum' Of gravity has swung to the othe:
extreme, and the pages Of Frances
birth registers are filled largely with
names OF newborn girl babies
