Of Rome, Professors GrOsSi Condi and

OLDEST OF STATE NOTICES
That of Maryland Was Adopted In
16a8-Enshrined in History Of
the Commonwealth.

The Maryland suffragists WHO pro
pose altering the states motto, "Fntti
Maschy Parole Femlnae" Ito use the
old spclling}, are proposing to put
rough hands to what should be sacred
The offensive translation, "Deeds are
masculine, words are feminine" is not
the only one possible. The secretary
of state could readily be directed to
give official approval to "manly deeds
and womanly words" which would
give women recognition they enjoy
In no other state motto.
But the best reason for jealously
guarding Maryland's motto IS that 1t is
the Oldest the nation can boast-the
date Of It's adoption is placed in 164S
and Is enwrapped with Maryland
history to remarkable degree Throw
away the Baltimore motto and Mary
land might as well turn the portrait
of George Calvert, first Lord Balti-
more, to the wall.
There are other state notices that
are open to attack. Alabama's "Here
We Rest" suggests an obvious Joke.
SO does Washngton's "By and BY"
Nirginia's motto recalls John Wilkes
Booth, New Yorls's the rather tawdry
defamation by Longfelow which it
inspired, and those OF several other
states-likc Kansrs' "Ad Astra Per
Aspcra"-the rhetoric of commence
ments. While these states clcuvc to
their notices Maryland may we'll be
boastful of hers and It's associations.

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

French physicians see in the nerv-
GUS reaction following the triols 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
itecrs. slackers and men physically
unfit for combatant service have been
boys.
SOcioiOgtSts looking into the future
predict that X the present dispropor-
tfonnl feminine brthrate continues
over half of the girls born in France
in 1910 and 1920 will be doomed to
spinstcrhood. Thc proportion of young
and mfddle-aged married men In
France who saw no service on the
front is so small that the boy babies
born I'm their families are outnun.
hercd more than two to one by the in

While at loss to explain the work
ings Of the mysterious influence pre-
determining the sex Of the children
born to eN-soldiers, Frchch physicians
agree that the relaxation OF mems
nerves SuddCgly relieved from the
high tension Of constant pcrilS and
hnrdShips, is ut the bottom OF the puz-
zling question.
SO long ns the war continued and
men remained keyed to n high nervous
pitch their children were more often
boys than girls. SiXty-iivc per cont OF
soldiers babies born during the war
were boys. Now that the hectic days
of shot and shell are over the pcndu-
lnm of gravity has swung to the other
extreme, and the pages Of Frances
