INTERNATIONAL MARRIAGE POOL NOW PROPOSED Only Solution of Greatest Social Problem Today, Prof. Carnot Says. APPLIES WAR LESSONS PARIS, May 7.—The startling proposal that an international marriage pool be formed to provide for the repopulatiug of Europe and the salvation of the white races of the earth is made by Prof. Paul Carnot, famous member of the faculty of medicine of the University of Paris.. Europe, he declared, has a surplus of millions of women for whom there never will be husbands unless some arrangement can be made to have them marry outside their own countries. The whole future of the white race, he asserted, Is bound up In the problem. “The last census figures," said Dr. Carnot, “showed a great surplus of scales over females In the United States. “We have millions of surplus women. “Then why not a Franco-American bureau to facilitate the marriage of American men with the girls of France, where the war left such a shortage of men? “Why not a Franco-Argentina bufeureau, a Franco-Austxaiian bureau? In short, why not a great International bureau where each country i may make known its human needs and provide facilities for courtship and eventual marriage? “We, on the allied side, pooled our supplies of munitions to win the war. “We pooled our shipping, we pooled our finances and finally we pooled our men. “Is there, then, any reason why we white races of the world should not pool their greatest of all productive resources so that civilization itself may not perish? MORE IMPORTANT THAN BOUNDARIES. “Supreme councils and ambassadors, councils and prime ministers and foreign ministers are sitting up nights discussing territorial boundaries and the rates of exchange, but they are actually doing nothing to solve the greatest social problem that has confronted the world since 'Christ was born—the question of what to do with the millions of marriageable young women who are destined to repair the war’s human wastage, but who find no husbands awaiting them. “I call it a social problem, but the whole future of Europe and the whole future of the white race is bound up in it to such an extent that territorial and financial questions are infinitesimally smalL "In the far east, in China and Japan, hordes of yellow people are constantly multiplying until we hear talk of a ■yellow peril’ that will Inundate white civilisation. CITES DECREASES IN BIRTH RATES. “In the United States and other civilized countries that suffered little loss of man power in the war the birthrate Is Vailing off and apparently nothing Is being done about it. “Europe, staggering to her feet from the wounds of war, confront* a problem of repopulation with an excess of between 15,000,000 and 20,000,000 women over men. “I have suggested the recruiting o? a volunteer army of maternity, an organization of women who would agree to rear babies to repopulate devastated Europe, to help France back to her feet “I have even urged that governments recognize the right of woman maternity outside matrimony and for these suggestions I have been attacked and called a ‘free lover.’ “I am not “I am merely cognizant of the great problem confronting the white races of the world. “When I made these suggestions I had no hope that they would be adopted. “The world Is not far enough advanced yet for that “But I see no reason why there should not be organized at once an international marriage bureau whereby a country like the United States, with a large surplus of would-be husbands, can not carry on satisfactory negotiation* with another country, like France, with a sirplus of would-be brides.”

Rational Home Remedy For Wrinkled, Baggy Skin

Bathing the face In a simple lotion made as follows, Is the best thing known to disperse wrinkles, from the finest lines to the deepest crowsfeet: Powder?d aaxolite, one ounce, dissolved In 'wie-'h-baael, one-half pint Your nearest drcggist can supply the constituents. It .Is a natural and rational treatment, as It tends to remove the cause of those reQ-tale signs of advancing age, worry or 111 health. Having both astringent and tonic properties, the solution tightens the too-loose skin and tends to solfdffy the underlying muscular tissue. This smooths out the wrinkles and glTes the skin a firmer supporting foundation. Obviously this effect must also reduce hanging cheeks, double chin and baggy neck. The remarkably prompt action of this harmless lotion Is another commendable feature.—Advertisement.
