Woman Sociologist
Fears for Birth Rate

Frau Wilhelmine Mohr, a sociologist OF
reputation, declares that II the birth rate
is to be raised, the present system of mar
riage must be changed.
'salen marry too late and women too
early in Germany" she says. The men
began too soon to work in the treadmill OF
life. They have earned honor, fortune and
social standing at the expense of consider
able physical and mental energy, before
they become fathers"
According to Frau Mohr, this state of
affairs would be very much improved by
a more general partaking of women in all
professions and business lines. In this
case women will marry later, but not too
late because IL is proved that the height
of maternity is reached only at more ma
ture age Besides, by the contribution of
women to the livelihood OF their family,
men will be in a position to marry early,
while still in the prime of physical and
mental energy. Frau Mohr concludes
THE first creative deed OF man, who is
the creator of states ought to be the main
tenance OF his natural numerical superior
ity over the woman"
The marriage problem IS one OF those in
the focus Of public interest in Germany.
Never has there been so much talk about
marriage before. 1t is one of the favorite
topics at social gatherings. Bachelors
and married men. mothers and daughters.
are in the throes OF heated discussion
about il. II is impossible to eat couple
os sandwiches peacefully at a Berlin eve
ming party without replying several times
TO the typical question: Are you mar
ried, and II not, why not?"
II IS at such moments that one realizes
the significance in German life OF social
problems in general and of the question OF
marriage in particular I'm fact II is by
far more characteristic and illustrative OF
the life Of this country than many poiti-
cal or economic phenomenon, which easily
misleads the visitor to Germany by abb
sorbing his entire attention.

Surplus of Women Grows
Until Total Is 1900 900

The situation is aggravated by the gem
eral after effects of the war. The curplus
OF women OF the ten principal nations
which took part In the war is now esti-
mated at 100000. as against 1000, 900 in
1914 In Germany there are now 1,1S0
eligible women TO every thousand men,
while the proportion in Austria is 1890 to
the thousand. Before the war every TWEEN
tieth woman had to renounce marriage,
owing to the shortage OF men: now every
seventh remains without a husband.
German sociologists therefore urge en-
ergetic measures for the protection of ba-
bies, particularly of baby boys. II is
pointed out that according to birth statis-
tics. there are 10s births Of boys TO every
hundred births OF girls. Yet. even in times
Of peace, there was always considerable
surplus OF women In almost every country
Countries with a sober and intelligent

portance to the financial condition of their
husband elect. For according to the law,
war widow loses her pension on marry
ing second time. Nevertheless, many
German marriage candidates prefer wild
ows to girls, and the number of widows
who get married again is constantly in
creasing and considerably reducing the
girls chances.
OF a thousand marriages in Germany
in 1914 ffty-two were widows, while
the number of the latter grew to over
100 out of thousand, or 10 per cent. of
all women married in 1888. The Ber-
liner explains this fact by the term fur
nished widows This expression refers
to the fact that most of the widows, and
especially war widows, already possess a
furnished home, which is now a great
temptation to thousands of bachelors. In
fact, the difficulties of the housing ques-
ton are enormous, and it is almost i'm
possible to find suitable apartments, either
furnished or unfurnished Thus the Ger
man widow is most dangerous rival OF
her maiden sisters. Out of thousand
young girls in Germany. 90S got married
in 1914, while in 1918 their number de-
creased to S56
Economic conditions here have brought
about considerable decline in the num-
ber of marriages. and 1t has become clear
that the. marriage wave which swept over
the country after the armistice was simply
and only due to the fact that many thou
sands OF marriages which were postponed
owing to war conditions, were concluded
as soon as the state Of peace had returned.
The number Of marriages In Greater Ber-
lin in 1914 was 3s.s19: in 1915, 27,661; in
1916, 24,1S5; in 1917, 25,5S3; In 1918, 29,111:
in 1919, 51,s92. and in 1920, 1851 While
during the first quarter OF 1921 Germany,
with the exception OF Wuerttemberg.
Mecklenburg and the Prussian part Of the
Sarre territory. recorded 1892 marriages;
1885 took place in the second quarter
This does not mean an increase, but
noteworthy decrease of marriages, because
there are always considerably more in the
spring than in the preceding three months.
Measured by normal peace standards.
there should have been 100000 marriages
in the second quarter of 1921. Their num-
ber has. therefore. gone back by more
than 10 per cent.

Officers and Aristocrats

On the whole. male candidates are now

and almost in every instance he Is required
to possess business ability. On the other
hand men looking out for hancees are not
SO materialstic as might be expected, now
that the outcome Of the war has upset
economic life and social traditions. There
are, of course many who expect their wife
to bring capital into their business. But
most of the seekers are chiefly bent on
marrying a good housewife and mother
Sense and knowledge of art and music are
often required.
The planless and lonely life led by 80
many million men during four years OF war
have aroused In them a longing for a
comfortable home and this is their first
and foremost consideration in choosing
wife. War widows who intend to marry
again cannot, however, help attaching inn
The New York herald., 1922-03-12

My surprise was therefore genuine
when by the courtesy of the agent 1 saw
some photographs of female marriage
candidates" My eyes rested on the por-
trait OF charming, exquisitely dressed
young lady.
THE only child of the owner of one of
our biggest banks" was the comment.
Her parents are looking out for serious
young man OF good family. He must be a
graduate of law and able to take charge
OF the bank one day" My eager question
whether there were already any suitable
candidates for this marriage, was misun-
derstood. There are three already, but
can put you on the waiting list" was the
reply
Another photograph shows a slender,
well built young lady with beautiful fea-
lures, standing in front of what looks
like a garden door of a gorgeous country
home She is 23 years old and the daugh-
ter OF a wealthy landowner. Another very
handsome lady, Countess ~. about 20
years old. is the heiress OF huge prop
erty which is famous for its wine produce
tion. She would prefer getting married to
no condition OF IT, Her future husband
is expected to be able to run the property
and the extensive wine export business.

farmer OF German extraction, who lives In

edge OF agriculture.

are wealthy. but there was couple OF

their charm.

declared whenever we find a good match

The New York herald., 1922-03-12

peasant population and wholesome climatic
and food conditions, like Bulgaria, have
no such surplus, because the simple and
wholesome life is a great preserver of
babies.
1t is again and again emphasized in the
German press that, while Germany pos
sesses excellent institutions for the pro-
lection of children and poor mothers.
measures must be taken for the particular
protection of baby boys and careful phys
ical and moral education shouiu DE cx-
tended to them.
The difficult economic situation in Ger
many is also responsible for the growing
habit among the population of artifcially
restricting the number of children. Meas
ures are now advocated which are to en-
courage married people to refrain from
this practice, which is both new and detri-
mental to Germany. The number OF
births in this country during the second
quarter of last year was about 100000.
On the other hand, the death rate here is
now below the normal, /. e. pre-war, fig
ure Many Germans ascribe this to the
rrivations OF the four years blockade,
which did away with many who otherwise
would have died now.
