There are 81 ,53S divorced people in
the United States. of whom 80 .2O5 are
women. and 1884 are men. The
reason for such an excess of women
is explained on the theory that di-
vorced men are more apt to remarry
than divorced women. There are very
few cities in which the number of di-
vorced men is greater or even equal to
the number of women. Omaha is the
most conspicuous. for among its inhab-
itants are 249 men and 236 women
who have been separated from their
conjugal mates by the courts. Chica-
go is the champion divorce city. 1t
has had that reputation for long time
and although the 4,341 divorced peo-
pie who reside there may not have
been separated by the local courts,
they have nevertheless chosen
it as place OF residence, and they
number more than twice as many as
are found in New York. Certain 9th
er cites have a similar distinction, al
though they are not as conspicuous as

The closing of the gambling joints
in Denver is a huge joke. We have
been told all along by the fire and po-
lice board and Chief of Police Arm
tsrong that no open gambling existed
in Denver OF course this was known
TO be false and that the members of
the board. along with other Democrat
ic politicians. have used the gamblers
to perpetrate fraud in elections and
that those who are now crying the
loudest against the institutions were
benefciaries.
