C. of L. and Lack of Rents Dis- courages Stork in France Paris, Jan, 12.~The high cost of living, lack of apartments and homes | for newly married couples, selfishness, | too many women employed in indus- try, and too. much pleasure, are the general causes assigned for the alarm- ing decrease of the birth rate in France, now the lowest in Europe, 1. This is & condition that has been accentuated by the war, which took many men to the front, whence many never returned, The war also created new conditions of living for women, gave them work, made them inde- pendent, and disinclined to marry readily, and less inclined to have chil. | dren, This situation is set forth at length | by the National Alllance for Increas- | ing French population. . In comparison with a hundred years ago, each French marriage brings less | than two children, lostead of four | | children, whereas England's mar- ! rlages bring nearly three children in- | stead of nearly five a hundred years | ago. In Germany In 1841, the average | marriage brought 4.44 children as compared to 2.2 in 1921 The birth decrease does not result from high mortality, or relatively fewer marriages. France's population of 39,000,000 in 1922 s practically that of 1900, The number of marriages for that year was 299,000, or about the average since then, with the years | following the war showing a larger Inumhrr. which is now returning the average. For 1921 the number of mar- [ ringes was 456,000, and for 1922 it was | a little higher. Until 1914, the number of births averaged 800,000 yearly. During sev. eral of the war years the number | dropped to fewer than 400,000, The | 356,726 as compared to 421,180 for I'the first six months of 1921, | | It is argued that if France is to hold "her piace in the world and send emi- | grants to her colonies, she must pass | laws, as already proposed in Parlia: ! ment, to give the voting majority te | married men, reduce family taxes, and give bonuses for each child born. Al | ready, families enjoy lower railway | | fares. _— - SEEK SAFE MEASURES | British Steamship Plans to Avoid Confusion in Casc Agents Making of Accidents at Sea. London, Jan. 12.—Since the sinking | of the steamship Egypt last May, with the loss of over 100 lives, British | ! shipping companies have been en-; dcavoring to work out a system which | would prevent confusion in the event of passengers having to take ta.the boats, and British line are keenly in- torested In the experiments in " this direction made by the French Mes- sageries Maritime Co.
