men than there are men in the United
States, the official figures being "a, 900
divorced men and 114,00O divorced
women. The disparity is accounted

than the women under like conditions
The number of divorced men is
largest in Indiana, which has $500.
There are more than 1000 each in
California, Ohio. Michigan, Indiana,
New York and Pennsylvania. Texas
has $500 and Massachusetts, $500.
South Carolina. the only state which
has no law authorizing or permitting
divorces, has 275 divorced men among
its residents, and South Dakota, a
state which has become noted by rea-
son Of the facility with which divorce
is granted, has $685.
New Jersey has, proportionately, a
very small number, $50, and Kansas,
much smaller state in population, a
much larger number, 2,165.

were the rule among the Mormons
