THE COURSE OF DIVORCE EVIL Number ofAmerican Diyorces
 Increase. GOVERNMENT GETS STATISTICS Actors And ShOwmen Head The
 List. The Musical People Are Next-In West More Divorees Are Granted Than in the Eeast--Report Is In the Volumes.

In two large volumes of statistical reports. entitled Marriage and Dl- vorce." recently issued by the Federal Government. there have been compiled complete data upon this absorbing problem of social life in the United States. 1t has been analysed. classi- fled. compared in score of different methods, all of which point to the one dominating fact. namely. that in the United States divorces are steadily in- creasing, not merely in numbers as the population increases, but in proportion to both marriage and population, says The New York World
 The period covered in the report is the twenty years from 1887 to 1906, and the previous twenty years between 1887. and 1886 is fully covered for the purposes of comparisons.
 Starting with marriages. for that Is the necessary preliminary to divorce. it is found that the marriage rate tiuc- tuates according to commercial pros perity. Financial panics always pull down the rate of increase, this being noticeably apparent during the hard times of 1894 and 1904. when in each case the totals decreased below that of the previous year.
 The percentage of marriages Is great CT in the South than in the North. The Western States, during the last few years, have made rapid jump upward in the marriage rate and are passing the Southern States. The percentage of marriages to every 10000 of popu- lation has been decreasing somewhat in the North Atlantic and North Cen tral States. while 1t is increasing rap idly elsewhere in the Union.
 
 The Marriage Rate.
 The highest marriage rate is in the old Indian Territory part of Oklahoma. followed closely by Arkansas and Texas. The lowest rate Is in Califor- mia. Connecticut and Delaware, New York is well down toward the bottom of the list. close with New Jersey. Rhode Island. Pennsylvania and Massa- chusetts.
 In the United States as whole there are ninety three marriages for every 10000 of total population. and 357 mar riages for every 10000 of the popula- tion of marriageable age. or above ff- teen years old. The only countries that rival this high rate are Western Australia. Hungary and Saxony, which present about the same average fig ures. with Sweden next. Ifeland's rate is less than one-half that of the Unit ed States.
 The number of divorces granted fl this country in 1887 was 9.937. Fnrtl years later. in 1906. the number wa 72.062. Taking the census years e 1870 and 1900 as a basis for population this was a percentage increase of from 2S to B per 10000 of population. Tn, rate of increase was nearly three times and the evil has been growing in ever greater proportion during the last hal dozen years.
 The movement, though occasionail' checked or retarded by commercial

West Lead. In Divorce.


 Divorce is far more frequent in the far western States than in the East. Washington has long lead. with Montana a close second. Colorado Is third. Delaware has the fewest in proportion, with New York and New Jersey next lowest.
 It is not easy to account for the wide variations in the divorce rates in different States. New York with only 60 to every 100000 married persons, and Washington with 523 In similar proportion. The results are affected by a great variety of influences. The com position of the population as regards race or nationality; the proportion of immigrants and the countries from which they came; the relative strength of the prevailing religions, and part iculary the strength of the Roman Catholic faith: the variations in d. vorce laws and in the procedure and practice of the courts granting divorce; the interstate migration of population either for the purpose of obtaining a divorce or for other req sons all these, and doutless many more. are factors which may affect the figures.
 The divorce rate is higher in the United States than In any foreign coun- try, except Switzerland. which has the highest rate in Europe. has less than one-half our proportion. Ac- cording to the international figures. the number of divorces per 100000 of population Is as follows:
 Japan. 215, United States, 73: Swift zerland, 32. Saxony. 29; France, 2S; Roumania, 20; Prussia. 15: Italy, 3: England, 26; Austria. 1.

One In Twelve Dissolved.

While definite data are not yet ob- tainable, the Government experts figure that at the present rate in the United States not fewer than one marriage in every sixteen will be dis solved ultimately by divorce, and It seems reasonable to suppose they add that the ratio is nearer one in twelve.
 Possibly many persons will feel says the report. that these figures are not confirmed by their personal observa- ton of the relative frequency of di- vorce. It should be remembered that the comparison relates only to marri- ages that have been terminated either by death or divorce. Existing marri- ages do not enter into the ratio. The figures relate to marriages in all classes of the community, representing probably every degree of wealth and every position in the social scale.
 Almost exactly two thirds of thS total number of divorces in the United States during the twenty years be- tween 1887 and 1906 were granted to the wife. A partial explanation of this preponderance lies in the fact that without any reference to the question which party Is the more fre- quently responsible for the marital unhappiness that leads to the divorce the wife has a legal ground for ii- vorce more frequently than the hus- band
 Certain we'll known and compara- lively common grounds are more read fly applicable against the husband than against the wife. Notably, there is nonsupport, or neglect to provide, which for the husband seking divorce is not ordinarily an available ground. although, in Utah six divorces have been granted to husbands for neg feet to provide. Cruelty, although not infrequently the ground for divorces granted to husbands Is more often ex- istent as the cause for the wife's ap- plication. Five divorces for cruelty are granted to the wife for every one granted to the husband.

THE BEST FAMILY NEWSPAPER

THE BEST FAMILY NEWSPAPER
 An ideal newspaper for the Ameri- can home must be habtually clean and high-minded, it must offer something of interest to every member of the family, and it must present daily the news of the whole world in authentic and readable form. A large contract, you will say. We'll the newspaper that comes nearest to filling it in the West is the Chicago Record Herald. It's moral tone is always high, it's news service is unsurpassed and prob ably no other paper in the United States has so brilliant an array of special features suited to the tastes and needs of every member of the family.
 Business and professional men have long regarded the Record Herald as the best paper for their own reading because of its unequaled faculty for getting all the news of the world and putting it into the briefest possible form for the busy man. They also es- teem it for the reliability of it's finan- cial, agricultural and market reports. Young men perhaps find it's greatest attraction in the excellent sporting de partment, which fills four entire pages on Sunday and a page or more on other days. Wives and mothers em- phatically prefer the Record Herald on account of it's well-conducted feminine departments-its daily recipes and menus, it's daily fashion news and hints for home dressmaking, Mime. Qui Wives pungent and sensible beauty talks, Marion Harland's famous page and the rest of the good things that make up the handsome Woman's sec tion in the Sunday paper. Children enjoy the Little Memo and other comic section pictures, with the bright stor- ies for boys and girls every Sunday. And all the family together can enjoy the interesting travels and special ar ticles of William E. Curtis, Mir. Kisers humor and verse, the serial stories and many similar features outside the news columns.
 The Chicago Record Herald has ev- cry right to call itself the best all around family newspaper in the West
