DETROIT CLAIMS PRIZE
FOR ELIGIBLE YOUTHS
Bachelor Surplus Is GiVen a.,
Being "a, 1899.

DETROIT. Moe. 2s.--Detroit probably
has more eligible men than any other
city in the country. That is, proportion
ately.
The tip comes from Arthur ". Le6srie
supervisor OF attendance Of tl,e board o.
education. Mr.. Lederle has Just corr
pleted school census In which he dis
covered that between the ages of 30 ana
40 there are 105.306 males in Detroit, e.
compared with s4,027 fernaIca
All in all. there arc 3l.339 more r.cn
than women In the city.
Which," says Afr. Iederie "iilaNes
Detroit 8 good place FOR tho women
seeking mstrirnonY, for there ara pientr
OF eligible men here"
Just what makes an eligible man =
Mr.. Ledcrle does not say, but IL ~ pre-
sumed that he means any man betwees
10 and the end. regardless OF his bars
account and other assets, is eligible.
But II Detroit 10 a good place for ths
woman in quest Of q man. II frn't sue
a good place for tire person who look,
forward to the age Of four score.
Mr.. Lederie found that there are only
2.210 persons over the age OF 80. o.
these s07 are men and 1903 women.
lie explains that the small number cf
men who are octogenarians is due to tha
civil war.

IS SOUGHT BY FRANCE
Independence From Foreign
Oil Supplies Desired.

PARIS, Nov. 2s.--A national fuel" for
automobiles and internal combustion
engines, that will make France less de-
pendent on other countries for xRsolene,
is being sought by government and pri-
vate laboratories. Many tests with de-
natured alcohol and benzoi added IN
small quantities 20 gaeoleue have given
good results
A week OF competition with various
fornnufae will be held in Besiers In
February. 1922. Private interests have

Independence OF foreign OIL supplies.
During the war there were at times
dangerous shortages OF fuel for air
planes and automobiles.
One OF the problems TO be solved is
the effect OF any new mixture on engines
and their fabrication. Another difficulty
is the necessity OF some redeaEning In
