 This situation s set forth at length by the National Alliance for Increasing French population.
 In comparison with a hundred years ago. each French marriage brings loss than twp children, in- stead Of four children, whereas Eng lands marriages bring nearly three children instead Of nearly five a hun dred years ago. h Germany in 1841 tho average marriage brought 4.44 children 0s compared to 2.2 in 1921
 The birth decrease does not re- suit from high mortality, or relative ly fewer marriages. Frances popula- ton of 39o00,009 in 1922 is practic- ally that of l9oa. The number Of marriages for that ycar was 299. 900, CT about tho average since then, win tho years following the wa showing q larger number, which is now returning the average. For 1921 sha number of marriages was 456 900. and for 1922 it was a little higher.
 Until 1914. the number of births averaged S00,000 yearly. During sev- eral Of the war years the number dropped to fewer than 100000. The first six months of this year showed 3S6,726. as compared to 421.1S0 for the first six months of 1921.
 II is argued that if France is to bold her place in tho world and send emigrants to her colonies, she must pass laws, as already proposed in Parliament, to give the voting major fly to married men, reduce family taxes and give bonuses for each child born. Already, families enjoy lower railway fares

The one great danger is that water on the bottom will boil, which throws the burning oil over the enbank meats. It runs rapidly and thus there is danger of communicating the flames to additional tanks.

The volume Of trade for the year
