30 respectively. The percentages OF |
hos" reported as divorced, o. and
D. .. respectively, are believed "a be- too
small. because OF the probability that
many divorced persons class them
selves as single or widowed.
That the percentage single Is sol
much smaller for women than for
men il due partly "a the excess al
males In the total population, and
partly 10 the fact that women marry
.ounger Thus ia.5 per cent OF the
females from ~ q" "a years of age
ire married, as compared with IL per

Ncly, In the age group Si 10 90 the
Inference Is less marked while IN the
age group the percentage
married Is higher among the males
rhnt there Is a larger proportion ~
\ idoWs than OF widowers may indi-
ate that men more often remarry
han women, but since huibnnds are
older than their wives. the
marriage relationship n more OFTEN
'roken by death OF the husband than
~ death of the wife.
