IMORE MARRIAGES IN GREAT BRITAIN Statistics Show Big Increase as Result of War. NOT SO WITH THE ENEMY Germany and Austria Show Marked Decrease in Births and Weddings— Proportion of Male Births in Eng- land Noticeably Increases—Popula- tion of Great Britain Increases, While Decrease Is Shown by Enemy. Crudely stated, said Sir Bernard Mallet, in his presidential address to the Statistical society, according to the London Daily Chronicle, the war had resulted in 200,000 persons in the United Kingdom being married be- tween August, 1914, and June, 1917, who in the ordinary course would not have married. The marriage rate for 1915 was the highest recorded—19.4— the previous maximum being in 1853, which was 17.9. Referring to the marriage statistics | ; in enemy countries, in Hungary the ef- fect of the war had been that more than 600,000 persons who in the or- dinary course would have married had not done so. In Prussia, Bavaria, Sax- ony, Hesse, Hamburg and Bremen, six states containing more than 80 per cent of the German population, the total number of marriages in 1913 was 434,103 and in 1914 892,453, a decrease of 41,050, or nearly 10 per cent, in spite of a great outburst of war marriages during the first month of the war. The Birth Rate. The loss of potential lives to the bel- ligerent countries by the decrease in the number of children born was, per- haps, the most important effect pro- duced by the war on vital statistics. In birth the United Kingdom had suf- fered far less than Germany and Hun- gary, the United Kingdom having lost 10,000 per million of the population, Germany 40,000 per million and Hun- gary 70,000 per million. As regards in- fant mortality, the rate during 1914- 1916 had been lower both in the United Kingdom and in Germany than in any previous period of like duration, but the summer mortality in 1917 appeared to have been extraordinarily high in several German cities, and the German rate all through remained at some 50 per cent higher than in this coun- try. More Boy Babies. Some curious results were noted. An alteration in the sex ratio of birth appeared to be established by the fig- ures of the United Kingdom, especially by those of England, the proportion of male births having noticeably in- créased. Contrary to expectation. the war had produced no effect upon the figures of illegitimate births. De- cline in suicides was another interest- ing feature. Comparison between the natural in- crease or decrease of the populations showed that whereas the population of the United Kingdom was now some- what greater than at the beginning of the war, in spite of all losses of life In the army and navy Austria-Hungary and Germany had each suffered a de- crease of some 600,000, in addition to |j losses in the field outside of these countries—perhaps a total decrease of at least four millions, LIVING LAWN MOWERS Sheep to Cut Grass In Rocky Mountain National Park. Little Bo-Peep may be seen in vari- ous sections of the Rocky Mountain National Park system next summer, if a plan being advocated by those in- terested in “conservation” programs is accepted. It is pointed out that sheep can be used to good advantage in the vicinity of Estes Park, as well as in the numerous municipal parks of Den- ver, for “mowing lawns.” Great expense is involved in keep- ing the grass cut in Denver's beauti- ful parks and sheep are said to be ex- cellent “lawn mowers.” The city fa- thers of Denver have also been much impressed with the suggestion that snow-white sheep attended by dainty misses dressed as Dresden shepherd- esses would greatly enhance the pic- turesque landscape. PLEASURE MOTORS STOPPED British Petrol Regulations Stop Non- essential Driving. The complete suppression of pleas- ure riding by automobile and the re- striction of gasoline consumption to strictly mecessary purposes is aimed at in a series of new petrol regulations just issued in England. It is now il- legal for any automobile owner to drive his car merely for his private con- venience. If a policeman sees an automobile standing outside a hotel or theater it will be his duty to find the owner and investigate the use he is making of his car. If the car is being used for any purpose other than those pro- vided in the new regulations 'the own- er will be prosecuted. May Keep U. S. Prisoners In France. Germans captured by United States troops may be kept in France to do farming and other necessary work in that nation. France has made this request of America, and, as the ex- pense of transporting prisoners will be great, the request doubtless will be ah ett nt If Its Farm Machinery You Want, We Have It.
