LOOKS UP DIVORCES
W. H. Booth, Of Washington, to
Make q Study Of Records Of
Kenosha Co. Circuit Court
MANY DEGREES IN 10 YEARS

Considerable interest is being taken
in the statistics that are being pre-
pared by W. H. Booth of Washing
ton, an employe of the Statistical
Department of the Government, who
is now at work in this district prepar-
ing a report on the number of divor-
ces issued in the different counties of
the Judicial circuit during the last ten
years.
Mr.. Booth completed his work in
Racine county Thursday, and will
begin his work in the local Clerk of
the Courts Office tomorrow. 1t has
been claimed in the past that Keno
sha is divorce center, and it is ex-
pected that the report for the past
ten years will show that nearly 500
divorces have been granted in this
county. Many of these divorces are
not properly credited to Kenosha
county, and there is question as to
whether the court has the right to
of divorce brought in this county the
plaintiffs or defendants in the action
have alleged that they were residents
of the county on account of the fact
that they had summer home on one
of the lakes about the county. In
some cases it could have been shown
that the plaintiffs who alleged resi-
dence in Wisconsin had not been in
Kenosha county more than fifteen
days during the year, and their real
residences were in Chicago or some
other cities.
The statistics in Racine we're de-
cided surprise, as the report showed
that in ten years but $50 DEGREES of
divorce had been granted in the Cir
cult Court there. During the last
year there have been about thirty
DEGREES issued in the Circuit Court
for Kenosha county, and with this
ratio for the past ten years the total
number would be in the neighborhood
of 300. The statistics being prepared
by Agent Booth will be used by Cong
ress in making provision for uniform
divorce laws in all parts of the
country.

THE CEMENT AGE.
Enormous Growth OF the Portland Co.
ment Industry.

The production of Portland cement
In this country has increased in 35
years from 5000 barrels a year to
'4,000,0 600 barrels last year, and this
with the prospect of an increase dur.
ing next year of 20 per cent. Without
being in the hands of a trust, the
prices have increased In the past Is
months from Is to 20 per cent. from
legitimate demand.
This enormous output for 1906
would be sufficient to build a first
class cement sidewalk five feet wide
three and s~ix-tenths times around the
world, or build a sidewalk 456 feet
wide reaching from Chicago to New
York.
The uses to which this material,
mixed with sand and crushed stone. is
put are almost unlimited. They range
from the smallest culvert to the enor.
nous concrete arches spanning our
largest streams; from the humblest
cottage made of concrete blocks to
the finest sk%yscraper and Office build.
ings built Of reinforced concrete.
To the farmer alone, says Scientific
American, Portland cement concrete
presents an enormous range Of posi-.
bilities. With 1t he makes his fence
posts, drain tile. culvert pipe, well
curhing. feeding floors, watering
troughs, stable floors. silos, granaries,
stables, residences, in fact, he can al.
most make 1t take the place Of every.
thing heretofore made OF wood.

consider Objectionable, 1t has been

~unessential, 1t Is necessary only that
the positive does not get so hot as to

positive Is made large and Of a metal

the blouse In this. Change the water
when dirty. When the lather remains

Few housewives understand the art
OF broiling and consequently chops
and steaks are often robbed of their
delicate flavor by frying in a pan,
A steak or chop properly broiled
should have a thin, weIl-browned
crust. Beyond this crust the meat
should be red and juicy, hardly a
shade less done In the middle than

II the broiling be done on a range,
have the fire very bright and clear.
Open every draft that smoke and
flame may be drawn up the chimney.
Place the piece of meat In the double
broiIer and hold it as near the Goals
as possible until the surface Is brown,
turning frequently. 1t will take three
or four minutes for this. Now raise
the boiler several inches above the
bed of Goals and continue the cook,
Ing until the meat is done.
The boiler must be turned often.
A good rule Is to count ten slowly,
