A_MARRIAGE MARKET.

HOW FRANKFORT DEALS WITH SURPLUS WOMAN.

In the German city of Franklert, lung known for its progressive tendencies in municipal affairs, a daring venture has been made to solve the problem, though it might not appeal to British ideas of sentiment and modesty.

It has established a "House of Con- fidence as a social centre for young prople with matrimonini aspirations.

The marriage problem is not a new one in Germany, the only new phase in the situation there being due to the unrest and uncertainty of present-day conditions and the fact that the class àf society which formerly proceeded calmly anik såfely along the path of married life now finds this path bristling with difficulties and, dangers

LEGLESS SWIMMER. IMAGINARY KICKS IN THE WATER.

A curious Bill has just been introduced into the French Chamber. Its object is to Great interest has been aroused" in the fake as a condition of French citizenship ewimming world by the victories of Mr. for natives of Senegal the formal ronunicW.

In Senegal the great majority of such natives are Musulmans and they have been allowed to follow their own customs and laws according to the Koras, including polygamy, while exercising their right to vote in the colony. That is to say they exercise political rights without submitting to the French Common Law. The Cham ber and Senate voted in 1916 that natives of the communes of Senegal enjoying civic rights were French citizens (and, therefore, subject to military obligations).

Mr. Morris was looked upon as one of the State's most promising swimmers eight months ago when be lost both legs in a tramway-car accident. As soon as he had sufficiently recovered he determined to swim again.
