HAPPINESS LIES IN HOME LIFE
(Special Correspondent.) Received Tuesday, 7.0 p.m. LONDON, July 8. A Gallup poll conducted simultaneously in Bfiitain, Canada, United States and France and published by the London News Cbronicle, shows that 46 per cent of Americans, 38 per cent of British and 32 per cent of Canadians consider themselves very happy, only nine per cent of Frenchmen make the same claim. In contrast to what appears to be the general overseas opinion of Britain at the present time, the British people had a lower percentage of self-confessed imhappy people than any other of the three nations. Thirty-five per cent of Frenchmen said they were unhappy, 13 per cent of Canadians and 8 per cent of Ame ricans. ■ Britain 's percentage of unhappiness was only six. A satisfactory home life was considered by the niajority of people interviewed in Britain as the chief reason for their happiness. In Canada and France money was placed firstas the chief influence upon personal happiness. The majority of Americans agreed with the British that family life waa more important.
