BLOW AT DIVORCE EVIL.
Rev. John Reid Shannon Bases Ser.
mon on Statistics.

A blow was aimed at the divorce evil
by Rev. John Reid Shannon last night in
his address at the Metropolitan NJ. f.
Church. He said the United States leads
all other countries in the ratio of di-
vorces to marriages. There is now one
divorce for every twelve marriages in
this country, and the ratio is rapidly
increa sing.
Our country stands disgraced before
the world DR.. Shannon said, not only
for the number OF divorces, but also for
the trivial causes of thousands Of them.
More than 100000 divorces have been
granted In the United States in the last
twenty years. We have now more than
10, 900 divorces a Year. The divorce evil
is fast bringing the United States into
close competition with Mohammedan
Syria. through its polygamous practices
under its play-fast- and-loose divorce
process.
In some states he. said. men high
in social life get tired of their life
partners and literally swap wives by the
so-called tandem marriages. which toll
low Immediately upon divorces obtained
when the real reason is preference fot
another person"
DR.. Shannon says he favors a con-
stitutional amendment permitting Con-
gress to deal with the subject of divorce
He calls upon the churches to besiege
Congress for such an amendment, pro-
viding for uniform marriage and divorce
laws.

Thawing Frozen Water Pipes.

conceived the idea OF thawing frozen
pipes by means of electricity and, as
stated in the local paper, demonstrated
il by actual use there by simply con-
Meeting a wire carrying the electric cur

frozen space, the current thus forming a
circuit through one wire then along the
frozen part of the pipe and back through
the return wire. Al the time 1t was pro-
