WHY DIVORCES INCREASE.

Would a national divorce law. or
uniform divorce laws iu all the states
lessen the total number OF divorces
throughout the country? The number
has increased during the past nalf-
century and is still increasing, and the
fact is deplored by all except by those
who obtain divorces or who want them.
DR.. James P. Lichtenberger, a pro-
fessor Of sociology at the University
OF Pennsylvania, who has devoted
much study to the question, believes
tina. the solution Of the divorce problem
will not be found in any divorce legls-
lation, for the rapid increase OF d.
yorce is due to a social condition
apart flom the law. This is his rea-
soning: Our whole social condition
is in a process of evolution the same
as our industrial world. The depart
ment store has made an cmploye OF
the butcher, the baker, the small
merchant who used to own his own
store and trade with his friends ana
neighbors. The consolidation OF capt.
tai and the wonderful improvements
and inventions in machinery have
worked great changes in the industrial
world. These same agencies have up
set our social system. A better social
adjustment is the only cure
The professor does not suggest how
the better social adjustment" IS to
b. brought about, but bis view that
economic conditions are Intimately
related with the divorce rata is shared
bv an increasing number OF thought
ful men and women, who hold that
a Just social system is impossible un-
less it is based upon a just economic
system.

CANADA BALKS.

II would be very strange If. after all
the strenuous fight for reciprocity
Canada should decline the compact.
This conclusion is not inconcevable.
Sir Wilfred Laufier holds tenaclously
to the belief that the Dominion Par
lament will accept the treaty, but o.
servers OF the situation at Ottawa are
more or less divide as to the out
come.
When reciprocity was first discussed
!. nv orr northern neighbors, the topic
was purely commercial That Is true
no longer. Attempts at pleasantly IN
the last Congress caused acrimonious
reioinders to come from Canada
Champ Clark was one OF the festive
wits vho suggested annexation, and
tn. presidents jocular ramark about
a similar treatment for the aurora
borealis did moi quite take away the
sting.
The matter did not stop with Canada.
From the other side came protests
against this compact which was deemed
to be a wedge to open the question OF
political union. British statesmen I'M
plored Canada to consider long before
taking the step and a strong anti
reciprocity party was created. lhis
opposition still exists, and the Canadian
government apparently does not dare
10 risk q vote at present. An appeal
NAV be taken to the people and the
premier sustained by popular wlL; but
it is very doubtful if the pact will pass
the present Commons.

sidered seriously. Allan Davis, principal
of Business High School. today an

chased for use in his school as soon as

The consideration of the proposition

The use of the pictures as an adjunct

Petition Signe dBy George

w. Sensner, of 1881 Kenyon street, chief
engineer United States navy, retired.
and other residents, The petitioners
say the proposed alley would necessi-
tate the removal of brick building
connected with the engine house in

petitioners say. ''to the fact that there
are but two or three parcels of unim-
proved ground in the block. The own
ers of these could easily provide means
of ingress and egress II they so de-
sired, as has been done with other
property in the square, and thus avoid
damaging the general character Of the
property"
Recommendation that the Commits
sioners proceed with the opening of
the alley Is made by M. c. Hazen, Dis
trict surveyor. In report to the
Commissioners. Mr.. Hazen states the
alley will not Interfere with the build
ing connected with the engine house,
and will not extend across the play
ground property.
"The alley" says the surveyor. will
provide rear entrances for sixteen
houses, which have no outlet for the
removal of garbage or refuse except
through the fronts thereof. I do not
see where 1t would cause damage to
q majority of the property owners In
the square" MI ..
Mr. Hazen's recommendation was
approved by Engineer Commissioner
