DOUGLAS,,July IS—A fire was dis
covered at f read well Foundry last

“MARRY YOUNG"
SAYS BENEDICT
SACRAMENTO, July 18. — The
twenty-one years of '‘age” limit for
women, advocated in a bill passed
by the last California Legislature
and vetoed by Governor Friend \V.
Richardson, would have been disas
trous to many well-ordered matri
monial plans, according to W. L.
Morrison of Redlands in a letter tc
the Governor lauding him on his re
fusal to raise the age of feminine
majority from eighteen years.
Mr. Morrison agrees with a state
' ment made recently by the executive!
that "early marriages tend to hap
piness and good citizenship" and re
fers to himself as an example. "My
wife married me before site was sev
enteen years old and she is yet the
most, wonderful of women. We will I
celebrate our golden wedding in
1924.”

BRITISH COMMISSION SAYS
BATTLE SCARS OF FRENCH
ARE NOW FAST VANISHING
LONDON, July 18.—France of to
day, like the France of 1871, is
making a magnificent effort by hard
work to restore the ravages of war,
according to an official report of
he British Department of Overseas
Trade. The report is the work of
the Commercial Counsellor of the
British Embassy in Baris, J. It.
Cahaill. and is painstaking and ex
haustive. The general conclusions
of the report are:
The present economic position of
France is strong.
Her industrial population is fully
employed, and her output in most
fields of production is only limited
hy shortage of nfhn-power.
The industrial reconstruction of
the devastated areas is fast ap
proaching completion.
The report states that the de
stroyed or damaged coal mines are
ncreaslng their output with improved
technical equipment. The great
woolen and cotton works are kept
?o!ng to the full extent of the labor
• t their disposal. The great agri
cultural areas of wheat, and beet^
•oot, the chief crops of northern
-'ranee, will soon approximate pre-1
var areas.
Ports, waterways, railways, and
roads have been and are being Im
proved. Water power, the report
continues, is being systematically
turned to account. New resources,
in ores, coal, potash, and nil have
been developed. There has been
advifnce in industrial organization
in a marked fasbion in chemical,
electrical, mctalurgic al, engineering,
-r
aluminum, and other Industries, dis
cernaablo through French Industry
as a whole. French foreign trade
in weight has already surpassed pre
war figures.
Fine results Ifafve been obtained
by hard work in the devastated re
gions. Of 8,166,884 devastated acres
7,477.287 have been cleared of pro
jectiles, trench work, and barbed
wire; 19,920 factories have been re
built out of 11,160. Of nearly 4,911,
000 acres of evasfated agricultural
land, more than 1,250.000,000 have
been pul under the p!owr.
The main railway system ha sheen
repaired, nearly all the waterways
have been made navigable, and of
the 36,450 miles of devastated roads.
19,743 have been restored to traffi*
and S.671 have been improved.
AUSTRIANS DRINK LESS WINE.
VIENNA, July IS—Wine grow
ing and wino sellers in Austria are
alarmed at u reeent notable reduc
tion In the consumption of their
wares. They aio loud in their com
plaints, and they inundate parlia
ment witli proposals for help.
The principal eausesi of the fall
ing off in the consumption of wine
would seem to he, first, the exor
bitriit prices asked by both producer
and inn-keeper, and second, the con
ditions of unemployment and half
time employment still reigning in
the country. These have converted
the wine lover perforce into a water
drinker.
