one of the most prolific causes for d.
vorce, according to statistics computed
by Judge Willard McEwen, who hears
more tales of domestic woe in one
month than do all the other judges of
the superior court combined Since the
death of the late JUDICIARY, Judge Nc
Even has had an opportunity to make
psychological study Of the divorce
problem, as he hears an average of
ninety suits for legal separation each
month.
Figures compiled by the jurist show
that out of 200 applications for de-
creeS which were presented since No
vember Is, in 125 cases conjugal- unhap-
piness was the outcome of a childless
home.
Following W this line of investiga-
ton, the judge has observed that the
childless home also is responsible for
drunkenness on the part of the hus-
band, as in most of the instances where
the childless wife sought a divorce from
her husband she has accused the de-
PENDANT of habitual drunkenness.
A table kept by Judge McEwen dur
ing the last two months shows the fol-
lowing to be the causes for the DEGREES
which he has granted to the 200 per-
sons who have appeared before him:
No children and drunkenness -115
No children and cruelty 10
Another woman and desertion. $50. rs
Another man and desertion. 10
Religious conflict ....................
Jealousy .....--.... ...-........-..... IL
Lazy husband 10
Dubious past .
The list shows also that of 200 COM
plainants more than 60 per cent We've
women, but the judge explains that
this does not indicate that the nan
usually is the offender. When, Cor the
reason or another, a husband and wife
separate he says, the husband usually
will allow his wife to get the divorce,
and in these cases the charge as gem
eraI rule is based on desertion.
Incompatibility of temper, judy. Nc
is no such thing" he says, and when
separation it is safe . say there is an
other woman or another man in the
case"
The subject of ages also is gone into
by Judge McEwen in his investigation
and the figures kept by him show that
persons between thirty AID forty years
of age are more likely 10 seek divorces
than are those who are older or others
who have not reached the age 0f thirty
years.
Taking the 2oo cases upon which the
figures were computed, the judge finds
that more than tw0-thirds d the COM
piainants ard defendants in those suits
were between thirty and forty years
old Ages of the others ra nged b@-D cen
twenty-five and thirty years, and there
were very few who had PASSED the
forty mark to seek a dissolution of the
martial bonds.-Chicago Chronicle.

Mr.. Brisbane passed an hour at the

resented upon the results of his visit to
the home of Mrs Eddy was as follows:
II visited Mrs Eddy as the representa-

cordanee with the arrangement that you
had made. l had a long and extremely
interesting talk with her. ] am glad to
tell you that L shall be able to write the
article which you ask for, and that 1t will
be positively reassuring and comforting TO
Mrs. Eddy's great army of friends.
Mr.. Brisbane describes the conditions of
Mrs. Eddys home as follows.
Those about her are devoted to her.
She is in absolute control of her own
movements, and mistress of her entire
household. That is evident.
Mrs. Eddy is thoroughly competent to
take care of herself and her business. The
suggestion that she should be deprived
of her personal liberty. or of the property
that she has earned, is preposterous and
shameful

in putting off the races this afternoon
on account of the bad condition of the
track. The committee announced at 3
o'clock, after making an examination
that the races would he postponed, ana
also that the, purses hung up by the Com
mercial club would be increased for d
future date, probably July 4.
With the exception of this disappOi1t-

other visitors are pleased with the re-
ception provided for them by the people
of Provo and will probably come again
