(Reuters)-The Irish- man may have a golden tongue and dreams in his eyes. but he is 1118'- about the world's worst bet. as a husband. a group of Irish writers have decided. In fact. he much prefers to re- main a bachelor. Whlfh 15 Why 50 many coikens have to leave their native shores in search of a man. The criticisms are made in I book, "The vanishing Irish." pub- lished Friday. Fifteen Irish writers contributed. each putinil Nl.f91' low-countrymen under the micro- scope, with unanimously harsh re- sults. The book sets out reasons for Ireland's dwindling population which in the last 100 years has de- creased by almost half. Ireland now has a population of 4.300.000. Its marriage rate is the lowest in the world and the average age of marriage is the highest: 35 for men and 29 for women. Sixty-four per cent of the population is single. MARRIAGE FOR MORONS Frances Mary Keating writes that Irishmen prefer bachelorhood and comments: "Eighty per cent of them seem to believe that mar- riuge is for morons. As a lover thc lrishman is famous-gay. light- hearted. tender and generous. he can make the girl in whom he is interested feel like a queen. "But let the girl get serious, and he will do a disappearing act as neat as anything on the stage... He is not a good father or hus- band. He loathes responsibility. and lives for drinking. gambling, politics and sport." John A. O'Brien. who edited the book. comments that ”the strang- csi. species of male on the face of the earth today is the Irish bache- lor." And playwright Paul Vincent Carroll writes: "If he can possibly avoid it, he will not marry, or if he will do so only at an age when the blood runs cooler and he requires the comfort of a nurse and house- keeper." SOFT CLIMATE Author Shane Leslie blames "the soft. relaxing climate" for Ire- lands predominant bachelorhocd.

"the world's most expensive-hon mone," Dr. Hans Sclye. director of lhe Institute of Experimental Medicine and Surgery, said Fri- day. Dr. Sclye said it lakes about 1,600 pounds of beef for the ad- renal glands to build up a speck of aldosterone the size of a pin- head. He said the hormone would have to be reduced synthetically before it would be possible to de- termine what diseasese the drug will cure.
