full Consideration to Plans
Outlined.

WASHINGTON D. c., Oct 1.-Pres-
ident Harding, received Miss Katherine
Ludington. OF Old Lyme, Conn. first
regional director, representing the Ma
tfonal League Of Women Voters. and
Miss Christina Norman, Of New
York, secretary of the Foreign Policy
association and chairman of the New
York clearing house and the newly
formed council Of National organiza-
tons on Limited Arament, who pre-
scented him with the National leagues
suggested plans for celebrating the
opening OF the Limitation Of Arma-
ment conference on November IL.
The plan presented asked. first, that
the president issue q proclamation call
ing on the churches of the country Of
all denominations to open their doors
for a half hour on Armistice Day at
the exact moment Of converting Of the
conferences; second, that the president
prepare a brief message to be read in
the churches at that moment calling
attention to the Importance and sig
nificance Of this conference.
President Harding made It clear that
he expected definite results from the
conference. adding that he welcomed
the interest and backing of the coun-
try, and that the more generally the
public expressed its desire for results
the more his hands would be strength
ened. The president, who has had nu-
merous plans suggested for the OBJ
servance of the conference opening. is
of the opinion that the impressiveness
would be greatly increased II the plans
for celebrating be centered on Armis-
tice Day. In this opinion President
Harding follows the plan suggested by
the National League Of Women Voters
through Miss Elizabeth Hauser, chair
man of the leagues committee on re-
duction of ornaments.
Miss Ludington, when asked about
the presidents attitude toward the
leagues plan, said: Our interview
with President Harding was an ex-
tremely interesting one. He gave us
much more hope than we had expected
and gave thoughtful consideration to
the plan we outlined. He talked of his
hopes for the conference. and made it
clear to us that while not expecting
the millennium to follow, he did expect
definite, substantial results. You mean
it will head things in new and hope
full direction, Mr.. PRESIDENT asked.
yes, exactly, was his reply. I feel
much more hopeful than did before
the interview that the international
conference will accomplish at least
part of its purpose"

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-
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
iteers, slackers and men physically
unfit for combatant service have been
boys.
SocloIogists looking into the future
predict that II the present dispropor-
tional feminine brthrate continues
over half of the girls born In France
I'm 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 high nervous
pitch their children were more often
boys than girls. Sixty-five per cent Of
soldiers babies born during the war
were 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 filled largely with
names of newborn girl babies

that Dempsey stops Carpenter IN the

weights meet on July 2. These bets
will be very likely to be the only ones
made with the American champion on
the long end. Most of the others,
from the number Of rounds the fight

doubtless see Dempsey on the short

The Carpenter supporters are 90

do any betting. Dempsey's size and
the general feeling that he is too
strong and too powerful a puncher for
the Frenchman will have a decided
influence upon the wagering.
A knockout in the. first round Is
possible. Dempsey came within a

at Toledo. Many important battles in
