LONELY MEN
Their Quest for Wives Here ara two astonishing facts. There are more lonely men than women; and women find husbands more easily than men find wiv9s. This is xevealed In the shoals of letters Which have deBcended on Mr. F. C. James, deputyMayor of Dorchester, since he said that Dorset farm Workers have such long houfs that they had no timo to look foi sweethearts. The letters from widowers and bachelors outnumber those from women by eix to one. Most of theni want to be put into touch with an attractive 35-year-old Palmers Gr6en (LOndon) widow who wrote to Mr. JamOs: "I longTor companioaship and home life. Can you find me a friend among your farm workers?" Now she will have a choifce not only of farm workers whose wages are 33s, but of £5*a-week men. An .Edgwaro business man "would like to put himself forward if tliere are no Dorset farm hands." A £2-a-week Aldershot lamp-lighter, a 41-year-old Leytonshire railway guard who wants a mothor for his two children, and a 44-year-old Lewisham man with over £4 a week wero others who wrote. Anothor man with a cottagc near Coventry all ready ior a wife also sent his qualifications. Mr. James is sending the appiication9 to the people concerned. "I doa't want any more letters," ho sa-id.
