United States Has $4,000, 900
Single Male Adults, Says
Census Figures.
MORE THAN ANY OTHER NATION
Matrimony Claiming Less Persons Now
Than at Any Time in Decade
Housing Shortage Important
Factor in Situation.

Washington. About 100000
adult males in the United States are
unmarried, reports of the census bu-
reau show. America, it is indicated,
has more bachelors than any nation in
the world.
Reports that new record for the
number of marriages was established
during the last II months are not cred
tied by government officials. Matri-
mony has and still is claiming less per-
sons now than at any time In a decade,
It is believed.
Young men and women seemingly
are becoming reluctant to tread the
path to the altar. Government officials
are studying the situation to learn the
cause of the apparent unpopularity of
romantic love.
The cost Of living was examined
first, but it is not believed that high
prices tended to discourage matrimony
until after the armistice, when they
began to act as brake upon the es-
Establishment of new families.
Million Marriages a Year.
Approximately 100000 marriages
occur each year in the United States
This is not u large number in proper
ton to the adult population. In ia
pan. England, and especially in Ger
many, the proportion is much higher
officials say.
The nationwide housing shortage is
believed to be an important factor in
the situation. Widespread unemploy-
nent Is another. Both men and wom-
en- hesitate to assume responsible
ti0 when pay envelopes are an un-
known quantity.
The so-called new Independence
of women is being studied to determine
whether it throws any light on the
problem. According to many sociolo
gists, many women hesitate to marry
because generally they must give VI
their jobs. Approximately S,5O00O(
women are regularly employed in the
United States, according to the census
returns. The number is constantly in
creasing. A propaganda Is being car
ried on in many sections intended Il
keep married women out of industry

Opossum Plays Dead.

Pottsville, Pam opossum that,
true to its nature, simulated death in
order to avoid capture, was killed on
the Eastern Pennsylvania railroad at
Middleport the other day, despite ef-
forts to prevent the killing The troll
ley car was almost stopped in order to
give the animal chance to escape,
but it persisted in lying across the
track, pretending it was dead, and the
wheels cut it in two. 1t proved to be
an unusually large and fat specimen

while unemployment is widespread

Age Being Lowered
Other reports to the census bureau
seem to make the problem more COM
pick. These reports show that the age
of marriage is gradually being lowered
in many sections of the country. Wom-
en- especially are assuming the respon-
sibilities of matrimony at ages very
much under twenty. Formerly most
women married between the ages Of
twenty and twenty-five. Earlier mar.
riages would seem to point to more
marriages, but in this respect the re-
turns do not coincide.
The majority of men marry between
twenty-five and thirty, the reports
show.
There are some government officials
who scott at the study of the census
returns in their relation to the mar
riage problem. Figures these officials
say, can be made to prove anything.
They put no faith whatever in the old
theory that figures never lie."
Ministers and sociologists interested
in the divorce problem are showing
keen interest in the returns Of the cen
sus bureau with respect to matrimony

OLD ENGLISH HEDGES GOING
Landscape Beauties Being Sacrificed
to Demands for Increased Pro-
duction From Land.

One Of England's greatest beauties,
the hedgerow of hawthorn, or May"
is rapidly disappearing. Driven out
by the tractor, either in the west Of
England, noted for its double hedge
rows, sometimes with narrow paths
between. er. the Eastlands, with hedges
and dikes alternating to the marshes,
some landmark of this kind has dis
appeared.
In Hertfordshire and Sussex this
Ame thing Is happening and the old
sturdy roots are being dug up and
burned, and replaced by miles upon
miles of wire fences, to keep the sheep
within bounds. Young college-bred
farmers, filed with enthusiasm, facts
and labor-saving ideas, have 1t all
worked out, and much of the beauty
of rural England with it. Cut all the
hedges out of four fields of 10 acres.
and you have one field of 40 acres
one man and one tractor can plow II
in 10 days; where with hedges it took
horse pillow 40 days to accomplish the
same result.
