MORE DIVORCES AND
FEWER MARRIAGES
This Is Condition That Is
Reigning in Indiana Ac-
cording to Statistics.
INDIANA PEOPLE CRUEL
TO DIVORCE COURTS MORE
THAN DID ANY OTHER ONE
CAUSE.

WAYNE county was right in line
with the others OF the state in respect
to the "divorce evil last year. The
Indiana bureau OF statistics has issu-
ed reports showing the divorce record
of the state was broken in 1907.
Wayne county did not obtain any con
spCuous place in the column OF foot
ings, but the same proportions that
existed in this county obtained
throughout the state. The number OF
divorces granted in this state last
year was 1880. While divorces were
becoming more numerous the MARI
ages were fewer. There were only
28,702 marriages last year, this being
sc fewer than the year previous.
Comparisons of figures for 1906 and
1907 show that husbands were reck-
less. Of the entire number Of divor-
ces, 1857 were granted to wives and
lob to husbands. The same condi-
tons were true in 1906, when 2,795
DEGREES were granted to wives and
874 to husbands. Marion county. on
account Of it's population perhaps, was
one of the leading counties both in
divorces and marriages, the number
Of divorces being 500 and the number
of marriages 2,935. Union county had
the fewest number of marriages and
divOrces-forty-three marriages and
two divorces.
Record of Gretna Greens.
lake county and Clark county, the
gretna greens of the state. held their
usual record the number OF marriages
in Clark county being 1885 and the
number of diVOrCescmfWyp mfWyppp
number in Lake county 1919. Lake
county is 4 faVorite marrying place
for clipping couples from Illinois and
Chicago and Clark county is the haven
of lOvelorn couples from Kentucky.
These counties have long held high
records for marriages.
AS to causes for divorces the rec
ords show that cruel treatment" as
usual, led to more family estrange-
ments than any other cause. OF the
total number of divorces in 1907, 1854
were due to cruel treatment Any
thing from blow in the face to a
harsh word may be designated as
cruel treatment. Abandonment ranks
second in causes for divorce, the tota
number of divorces caused by aban
donment in 1907 being 1908. Drunk
enness caused 343; failure to provide
54S; criminal convictions, Sc and in
fidelity 295. These proportions have
been pretty well maintained for
great many years.
