WOMEN'S STOUTS IDEA
IS GAINING IN FRANCE
Paris.—The American idea of
sports for women is rapidly gulning
headway in France, despite opposi

tion has just been fc.lven by the new
bishop of Strasbourg. Mgr. ttuch,
which will probablr have cous.der
able influence in converting those
who still think sj orts harmful to
girls and women.
Mgr. Kuch was thief chaplain of
the French armies during the war
and took great interest in organiz
ing sports for the rien. He now ar
gues that since an athletic training
was obviously so successful in the
ease of the men with whom he came
in contact, it shoulc. be equally good
for women. He has. accordingly,
given instruction tnat all the Cath
olic girls' societies within this dio
cese should, under medical supervi
sion. institute athletics for girls, a
lead wich is likely to be copied in
other parts of France.
