O'Clock, the craft was totally destroy

tended to fish.
I When they were preparing to make
the landing at the mouth of the small

contents poured into the bottom of the
bnat.

them sustained any injury. The wood

steel ribs, which were badly warpeC

THAT "POP- GUN APPLAUSE"

Madison, Wis, Aug, 3, 1911. Hon. Oscar w. Underwood, Chairman Ways and Means Con- nlittee, Washington, D. C. My Dear Sir: According to press reports your address befor the house of representatives, August ?. was an attempt to discredit Mir. W. J. Bryan.
 have not read the interview given out by Mir. Bryan, nor have l read the details of your reply to him, but l have studied the woolen measure drawn by your committee and passed by the house. l have also read your defense of that measure in the house. In both, there is a decided protective tone. This peculiar coincidence has awaken ed a lively suspicion that will be difficult to dispel. especially if you assume a hostile attitude toward the greatest and ablest leader any political party has had since Lincoln's time. Your pop-gun applause in the house will be rather faint when pitted against the heartfelt cheering of the rank and file of the democrats at home.

Increased Divorce Rate

From the New York Sun.
 The divorce rate in this country in- creases as one goes westward. The rates in the North Atlantic and South Atlantic divisions in 1906 were respectively fl and 4S, while in the western division the rate was 16S
 The average annual number of dvorces for the year period of which 1900 was the median year was 200 per 100000 mar ried population for the United States as a whole.
 During the same period the rate in Washington was 515, in Montana 497, in Colorado 409 while in New Jersey and New York it was 50 and in Delaware 43.
 Interesting figures showing the increase in the number of divorces granted each year from 1867 to 1906 have been compiled by Prof. William H. Bailey of Yale uni versity '.Ir 1S67,'' he says, in the Inde- pendent. there were 9S7 divorces. and in 1906 72,o62. During the 40 years covered about 1250,00Q divorces were granted.
 Although 1t must be borne in mind that the population of the country has also Increased remarkably during this period,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-12-17

the increase in population has not been sufficiently rapid to account for the 1n- crease in divorces.
 Tn 1870 there were 2S divorces per 1000 of population, while in 1900 there were 13. Perhaps more accurate unit of meas urement could be obtained by substituting married population for total population. On this basis the number of divorces per 100000 married population in 1870 was S1 and in 1900 was 200
 "A careful study of the statistics will bring out the fact that in periods of com mercial depression the increase in di- vorces is less than in periods of pros perity The reduction of the family in- come seems then to knit the family more closely together
