MANY MARRIAGES,
 BUT FEW BABIES
Unemployment Reducing Fami-
 lies in British Isles

London, April 17,--Thc blight of unemployment, which has kept more than a tenth of I3rMains workfolI idle for five yearA has not dulled the darts from s-apids bow. Just as many marriases were performed last year for every thousand people in England and Wales as in 1923.
 Although marriage is as popular as ever, people are bringing fewer and fewer babies into the world. Last year the birth-rate dropped down 10 1S2 a thousand, the low est level ever reached in the coun- try. excepting the abnormal years in the closing half of the great war.
 The provisional figures for last years vital statistics, issued by the registrar general, report 73O,2S6 births and 473,270 deaths. The births were almost 3O,0O0 fewer than in 1923, and the deaths almost SO,- 900 more, but the natural increase in population, it will be seen by comparing deaths with births amounted to roughly 250,00O peo- l pie.
 Emigration rids this overcrowded land of only minor proportion of i the increase that the population makes every year. There are more people in the country by over 2,OoO,- coo than before the war, and doubt less there are almost as many at work, yet the army of unemployed remains around 1,250,000. This has led many to believe that unemploy- ment has become chronic in Great | Britain.
 Both the death rate and the in- fant mortality rate were slightly higher last year than in 1923.

WAGNERIAN ROLES
 MADE HER FAMOUS
Mme. Brantzell, Who Sings Here Sunday, a New Met" Star

Karin Rrantzcll. swedish contral- 10 from the Metropolitan opcra company, who will sing for the benefit of the Chidren's home at inc annual charity concert of the Swedish churches and societies in the Capitol thcater Sunday after noon. by Saturday night will have made 2S appearances in a short season with the Metropolitan opera, which Is regarded IS an unusually large number. Details as 10 the divas achievements and popularity with New York opera 'goers were received in this city today.
 The success of Mime. Brantzell is regarded as remarkable for a singer who made her debut with that great opera company aS recent as February 6. She came to New York after having attained front rank in the Berlin opera, and her greatest fame rests upon the interpretation of Wagnerian roles. How well she does this is reflected In reviews by New York newspapers.
 The New York Times reviewer on February 7 pronounced the follow ing: This performance, C'Wal- kure") introduced a new, important and admirable addition to the ranks of the Metropolitan in the person of Karin Brantzell. ," A woman of gigantic stature, she loomed over even Margaret Matzenauer on the stage. And not only that, her voice has the range, the power and the quality required by Wagner's or chestra. she made the shrew- ish Frieka a character eloquent and human, and sang her music in the grand manner"
 The New York Herald-Tribune: Nine. Brantzell should prove 10 be a welcome addition to the Metropolitan company. She Is woman of fine presence and dis closed a valuable knowledge of ac- ton and pose. She is the fortunate possessor of very beautiful mezzc soprano voice which has a vein ot contralto in its timbre. In the music of Fricka 1t was noble and fluent and reposeful. The newcomer sang like an artist of fine instincts and intelligence"
 The Brooklyn Eagle; "Mme Brantzell is unquestionably one ot the finest Wagnerian singers of the Metropolitan company. She con tributed her magnificent voice and her truly Wagnerian personality tt the role of Waltraute, and the scene between this Nalkyrie ant her more mortal sister was the finest moment of the afternoon"
 The singer has had an uphill bat tie to fame. She was heard by tht late Princess Margaret of Swede1 in a small country church and s' heased was the princess with he
 inging that she secured a teache
 or her and got her in the way o musical training. In due cours' he made her appearance with thu Royal Swedish opera. Her caree hen took her to the Berlin opera Her success there was so pro nounced that she was brought t America by the Metropolitan man ugemcnt. She is of course not ye as well known throughout Americ as some other singers but consider ing that she only made her debu at the Metropolitan in February an will sing there next season, he career in America is certain to be

EXCHANGE RATES
 VEX |. s. EMPLOYES
Workers in Foreign Countries Troubled by Standard Changes

New York, April 1.-The Amer ican dollar in some parts of the world is not always good. The Ma tional Foreign Trade council re- ports this Is particularly true in the majority Of silver" countries of the Far East.
 The council says that the ups and downs in foreign exchange there, the ratio between what money of one country brings in money Of an other, work hardship on resident Americans who cannot figure fam fly budgets with a reasonable de- gree of certainty. They never quite know just what they will get when they convert their American dollars into coin of the local realm.
 Employes in foreign service of American export corporations have been the hardest hit, the council says. Each month, when they come to cash the otherwise welcome pay check home offices send out in some form of dollars they find 1t gam, ble whether they win or lose. The chance of profit is discounted by the corresponding risk of loss. American export houses are accord ingly taking up the problem in hope of evolving some method of pay ing foreign salaries which will eliminate the present hazard.
 The situation was first brought officially to the councils attention by an American corporation having large branch in Singapore, Straits Settlement. The concern paid its employees there in drafts against the American dollar, issued in the form of a revolving letter of credit. 1 Recent strength in sterling ex- change, however, was reflected by 1 sympathetic strength in the Straits | dollar, with the result that the number of Straits dollars realized by the employees in selling their drafts in American dollars dropped pcrceptibly.
 The council started Investigation ] to see whether others had found any way to circumvent this diffi- l culty. Under the method used for 1 l.. S. government employees, the 1 treasury department fixes a definite l exchange rate for three months periods. The government worker is paid under this rate, with the op- ton of accepting payment in either silver or gold.
 If in Singapore, for example, the ! exchange rate for American dol lars was down, he took gold; pro- l tectng himself against a loss, If dollars were up, he took silver, and netted a profit.
 A rate so fixed, however, the council found comes only within 90 days of accuracy. Furthermore it caused the government itself to take quite a loss, more than would probably be desirable in a com mercial enterprise.
 The council then canvassed lead ing manufacturing exporters in steel, oil, construction and eIectri- cal goods. There was no uniformity in their practice.
 One paid its mon fin actual cur rcncy of the country. Another paid at an arbitrary rate of 56 5-8 gold cents to the Straits dollar, regard less Of f1uctuation A third paid on the basis of American gold; the en- ployc could not win, but he could not lose. The fourth made up any loss by the cmploye suffered in ad- verse exchange, provided this loss
