 The box of delicious DonofriO cac- tus candy was indeed a great treat to me. for I had never even heard of crystalized cactus. much less tasted it.

WHERE DIvORCES COME FROM

Statistics of divorce show that the highest ratio of divorce to population is found in Algeria, that next to AL geria is Japan, and next to Japan is the United States The figures for the three countries are: Algeria, 2SS divorces a year to each 100000 of the population: Japan. 215: the United States, 73. But suppose we compare the United States with other Chris tian countries. It immediately leads the procession and leaves a large gap between itself and it's closest follower The figure for Switzerland is thirty two. and Switzerland occupies second place. The average annual number of divorces in this country is more than twice as great as in all other Christian countries combined.
 Another comparison considers mar riages and divorces together. and is brought to later date, the first table being for the beginning of the century and the second coming down in many cases as late as 1906. The number of marriages to one divorce or separation in this country is twelve, while in Algeria it is three, in Japan five and in Switzerland twenty three The facts were re- viewed in a communication to the twelfth session of the International Statistical Institute by Walter F. Wilcox, delegate from this country, who indicated that the increase of di- vorce relative to population has been at an accelerating rate. The num- Der of divorces per 100000 of the population rose from twenty-seven. in 1867, to eightysix, in 1906. The

divorce rate relative to total popula
 ton was fully three times as great at the end of the forty-year period as it was at the beginning" Ac
 count is taken of a remarkable in- crease in the south, due largely to the spread of divorce among the ne
 groes. but the divorce ratio is largest in the western part of the country. We note also as affecting the legal aspects of the case that the laws ap- pear to be better than their adminis- tration. Tt is probable that not few of the recorded divOrces. and perhaps an appreciable proportion of them, might be found invalid on either technical or substantive grounds in case they became the subject of judicial investigation"

The Discovery

Here is outline of the story-just enough to
make YOU want it all.
Two years ago, Mr.. John y. WHY'S was dealer
in automobiles. There came to him day
markable car-evidently the creation of me-
chanical genius The simplest, sturdiest smooth
est-running that anyone around there had
seen.
The name of the car was the Overland. And
the price-then, 81, 25O-was amazing the
itself
The sale of this spread like wildfre. Each
car sold brought call for twenty others like i.
Old and new motor owners came by the score
to deposit advance money-attracted by the
Overland's matchless simplicity.
But the did not come. And when Mr..
WHY'S went to the makers he found them on the
verge of receivership.
The genius which had created this marvellous
could not finance the making, in the face of
the 1907 panic.

The New Start

Mr. WHY'S in some way met the overdue pay
rol-took the plant-and contrived to fill
his customers orders.
Then the cry for more from every
place where an Overland had been sold AS the
new cars went out the demand became over
whelming The factory capacity was outgrown
in short order. Then tents were erected.
Another factory was acquired, then another;
but the demand soon outgrew all three
During the next fiscal year these factories sent
out 4,O75 Overland cars Yet the demand was
not half supplied.
Dealers fairly fought for preference Buyers
paid premiums. None could be content with

The Pope-Toledo Plant

Mr.. WHY'S next step was to buy the Pope
Toledo factory-one of the greatest automobile
plants in the country This gave him four we'll
equipped factories-just 16 months from his
start.
But the Toledo plant wasn't sufficient. So he
gave his builders just 40 days to complete adj
dition larger than the original factory.
Then he equipped these buildings with the most
modern machinery-with every conceivable help
and convenience-so that cars could be built here
for less than anywhere else.
Now 4 200 men work on Overland cars The
output is valued at $40, 600 per day. The con-
tracts from dealers for this seasons delivery call
for 20, 900 cars.
Now this man has acquired % acres around
his Toledo plant. And his purpose is to see
from this time on-that those who want Over
lands get them
