mentary school subjects and one-half
on agriculture according to rules to
be announced by the committee.
4. The representve selected under
these rules shall have no claim on the

ILLINOIS LEADER
IN DIVORCE CASES

Chicago, Feb. 21.-Illinois leads the
world in the number of its divorces, &C
cording to the first report of the ILL
nois commission on marriage and d.
vorce issued Wednesday. Statistics
are presented to show that from 1857
to 1906 10000 divorces were granted
in this state, $4,000 in the nine mid
die western states, and 1,250,000 in
the United States.
The report points to the pitiful con-
dition of 100000 divorce orphans"
who have been deprived of homes
and of one or both of their parents
in the United States in the recent
so years.
A hundred thousand divorces were
granted in this country in 1912. In
1900 20 European countries and Aus
tra,ia, New Zealand and Canada con-
tributed to the marriage tragedies of
the world $1,000 divorces. In the
same period this country had $4,000
DIVORCES. Yet this nation had only
100000 population, while the other
nations cited contained 267,0OO,O0O
people.
The rate Of divorce, reads the re-
port, is seven times greater than that
of Europe. This condition, existent
for so many years, has brought on
/ the American people opprobrium
from the civilized nations Of the world.
The report points out, however,
that Illinois has divorce laws which
/ have been used as a standard in
many parts of the world. But COM
plant is made of the execution of the
/ law in the state.
The report says most Of the divorces
go by default. In half the cases the
defendant cannot be found or has
/ left the state. This, says the report,
/ presents large field for fraud.
The report urges attention to the
hearing of divorce cases and advises
the passage Of additional laws. The
state should become a party to the suit
and the states attorney OF the county
wherein the case is being heard should
represent the people.
Criminal provisions in the divorce
code are urged TO check abuse. Uni
form federal marriage and divorc,
laws are urged as an amendment t.
the constitution.
The report promises more recon
mendations will be made in future re-
ports.

COMES IN AUTO
FIR ON CHICAGO
w. G. DENIES of Local Machine
Company Brings Car Here
in Eight Hours.

w c. DENIES of the Dennes-Kuttler
Machine company of this city arrived
here late yesterday afternoon after
a cross country trip from Chicago.
He came in a Marathon As horsepower
roadster, which it was intended to ex-
hibit at the auto show in Davenport.
Because Of the already cramped ex-
hibit of the company, the car was
kept outside the Coliseum last night
and will probably remain outside dur
ing the rest of the show.
The trip from Chicago required eight
hours. Miserable roads and various
mishaps prevented the establishing of
record such as it was felt the car
was capable OF making.
