Cupid's Bow Taut

In Saida (Sidon), Syria, 600 beautiful and unmarried girls pine for husbands. There are none in Saida. Sadly they gaze across the Mediterranean and sigh for the United States. The Syrian quota is full. Desperately determined, the girls would sail to the three-mile limit and invite matrimonially inclined Americans to choose their brides. This suggestion is said to have reached the Near East Relief.

(Syria is at present under a mandate held by the French.)
