French physicians see In the nerv-

epidemic of girl babies which has
«*epl Franco Jn the last yenr.
They base thotr conclusion on the
remarkable fact that," while over 8u
per cent of the children xwontly born
to men who served under fire are girls.

it Iteeis,,, ^inciters nrul men physically

Sociologists looking Into the future
predict that if the present (Unpropor-
tional feminine birthrate continues
over half of the girls bora In France
In IBID and 1020 will bo doomed to
aplnsterhood. The proportion of young
and middle-aged married men In
France who saw no service on the
frout Is so small that the boy babies
born In tlielr families are outnum-
bered more than two to one by the In-
fant daughters of the war veterans.
While at a loss to explain the work-
ings of the mysterious Influence pre-
determining the sox of the children
born to ex-soldiers, French physicians
agree that the relaxation of men's
imrvos, 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 a high nervous
pitch their children were more often
boys tlmu girls. Sixty-five per cent of
soldiers' babies born during the war
were boys. Now that the hectic days
cni | x>t shot and shell are .over the pondu-
1 lum of gravity has swung to the other
j extreme, and the pages of France's
v I'irth registers M-e filled largely with
names of new-born girl babies.—'

The Maryland suffragists who pro-
pose altering tho state's motto, "Fattl
Maschy Parole Fominae" (to use the
old si>elling), t ore proposing to put
.roogh hands to what should be sacred.
The offensive translation, "Deeds are
masculine, words are feminine," is not
the only one imsslhle. The secretary
of state could readily ho directed to
glvo official approval to "munly deeds
ami womanly words." which would
give women a recognition they enjoy
in no other state motto.. •
But the best reason for Jealously,
guarding Mnryhiufl's motto is that It is'
the oldest the nation can boast—the
date of its adoption is placed In 1648
—and is enwrapped with Maryland
history to a remarkable degr*H . "liirow
away the Baltimore motto and Mary-
laud might as well turn the portrait
of George Calvert, first Lord Balti-
more. to the wall.
There are other state mottoes that
are open to attack. Alabama** "Hera
We Best" suggests an obvious joke.
So does Washington's "By and By.1*
Virginia's motto recalls John Wllkea
Booth. New York's the rather tawdry
declamation by Longfellow which "It
Inspired, and those of several other
states—like Kansas' "Ad Astra Per
Aspera"—the rhetoric of commence-
ments. While these states cleave to
their mottoes Maryland may well be
boastful ot hers and Its associations.

Tn a survey r-f family incomes In
nearly one hundred cities of tho Unit-
ed States, tho department of labor
found that hi Johnstown. X. Y„ three-
qunriors of the wives earn money.
The Labor ltevlow explains that this
remarkable condition prevails in Johns-
town because glovoinaklng is tho prin-
cipal industry there and furnishes
work which women can do at home.
This appeals to them, because they
are able to earn good wages without
leaving their household.
In almost one-sixth of the New York
city homes visited women contributed
earnings toward the support of the
home. t,i Boston, one wife out of
ton works; in Buffalo, one in twenty-
eight; In Cleveland and Cincinnati one
in seven, ami in Pittsburgh only one
in fifty. It Is interesting to note that
Investigators found that a surprisingly
large percentage of town dwellers dc-
rivo some income from gardens and
poultry. Ninety-time per cent of those
visited in Cleveland had a garden or
chickens.

The Greatest Aid in Cooking
Accurately Measured Heat
THE first rule of good cookery is "measure accurately." To
guess at quantities is a podv way to get quality. Yet you
are now required to guess at the most important part of cooking
— oven temperature. '
Invention has solved this problem. The "Lorain** Oven Heat Regulator
measures heat with positive accuracy., After you have selected the heat you
want and set the temperature wheel, your oven heat cannot increase or
decrease. Thus you are assured of
cooking perfection — the one desire of
every housewife I ...\ v, '
