Women Said to Be Real Home Wreckers

cording to statistics that are being
compiled from the divorce court rec
ords OF the state of Kansas. So far
as the statistics show, so per cent. cf
the divorce suits now pending are
brought by wives, while virtually the
same percentage of the suits are
brought on so-called trivial charges,
such as incompatibility OF temper. quar-
rels and other allegations which do
not charge attractions of the moral or
civil laws.
Previous statistics show that In
jackson county, in which Kansas CITY

nled for every five marriage licenses
issued, and this startlingly high per
centage prompted IN Investigation in

nj EW YORK.-Perhaps no other city
~ in the world quite equals New
York In the great diversity OF its pop
ulation and in the variety OF the In
terests engaging the populations at
tention. Constantinople would seem
to be the only rival. In New York
pretty much every civilized nation has
its representation. There are gath
cred Jews, Italians, Greeks, Poles, Ar
menians, Chinese, Hungarians and so
on. Many nationalities not only
have representation. but they have
large ones. There are today undoubt-
eddy many more Jews In New York
than ever had permanent residence in
Jerusalem at any given time. They
constitute about one-sixth of the s.
100000 of population.
So 1t comes about that New York
is not a typical American city. 1t is
too crowded with people who do not
have typical American conditions in
their homes, who do not have Ameri-
can ideals before them and who do
not go about their duties with the
American spirit. In brief, New York
is thronged with multitudes who are
living in a different age of the world
and who are dominated by other ideas
of morality, duty and the like Their
ideas OF cleanliness are not those OF

then they have been on the same car

Neither has missed more than an
average of three days a year because
OF sickness since 1854 Counting hoii-

For thfrty-nine years on horse car
they averaged forty miles a day. or
569,400 miles up until the time they
took their first electric car. Their
average daily fares amounted to s35,

In the eight years they have been

$4,000 miles a year, making a total of
$4,000 miles. Their electric car has
averaged 5000 day, or 1000 nickels.
That would mean 100000 nickels a
year. or 11,6S0,OOO nickels for the eight
years.
On the horse car in thirty-nfne
years they took in $49S,225. In eight
years on the electric car they have

Foreigners a Problem for New York

the typical American. 1t is doubtful
whether American institutions mean
much to them. Foreign thoughts, pur-
poses. ideals, business methods, man.
ners and customs are swapping the
city.
In spite OF the very considerable
number of high grade American peo-
pie who live and do business in New
York, they do not form a percentage
sufficiently great to control conditions
in any effective way. There is ire
mendous prevalence Of crime, insol-
ence, incompetence and ignorance.
The number of persons now in the
city who in Italy belonged to the GRIM
inal classes is probably to be reckoned
in the thousands. In the trolley cars,
in the subway, In the department
stores and even In the great new H.
brary one will find Incompetence ana
inattention upon the part OF employees
with respect to their duties towards
the passenger or visitor.
AS one moves about and comes into
contact with New York employees he
will be fortunate indeed if he does not
suffer from their bad manners, not
to say insolence. Probably some OF
this is due to the conditions of great
city, and would occur even under the
best of circumstances. However, the
presence in the city of such enormous
masses of ignorant and incompetent
people, saturated with unAmerican
ideals and purposes. cannot help hav-
ing a tremendous and bad influence |
upon others. The conditions in New
York really constitute a very great |
problem indeed.
