Uncle Sam and His Divorces.

Almost every twelfth marriage IN
this country ends in divorce. About
two-thirds OF the divorces are granted
TO the wife. Thirty-nine per cent OF
divorces are due to desertlon. The
marriage rate In southern states is
larger than In the north. Americs
with the single exception Of Japan
leads the world in the number Of d.
vorces. The divorce rate Is three times
as large as II was In 1870. OF the d.
vorce cases that come up only Is per
cent. are contested. and rs per cent. OF
the divorce applications are granted
Uncle Sam not only has a high divorce
rate, but has the highest marriage rate
on earth. his only rivals IN the latter
line being Hungary, west Australis
and Saxony. ireland has the lowest
marriage rate and Sweden the next
lowest.
