DIVORCE Is INCREASING.
Harvard Professor Says 1t Is Sign OF
More Stable Order.

Cambridge Mass.-Divorce in the
United States is increasing at a rate
three times faster than the increase

gathered by Professor Francis G.
Peabody of Harvard. Professor Pea
body explains the situation thus:
"The divorce evil is sign, not of
decadence, but of transition, the most
of progress paid in the emergence of
a more stable order. 1t is sypmtom
rather than a disease. The eymp-
tom is caused primarily by the social
disease of restlessness, the eXcitation
of the nerves of motion the condition
which may be described as American

This disease in family life takes
the form of rebellion, migratoriness
