Careless Marriages
Are Main Cause of
Increase in DiuorceS
Says Ida TarbelI in An Inter-
esting Article Regarding Big
Problem of Today.

Ida M. Tarbell, the well known
journalist, contributes to the January
Woman's Home Companion an article
entitled What Women Are Really
Doing article in which she an
swers with facts and figures some dis
turbing questions as to the status Of
women in the United States today.
Miss Tarbell has made a careful
study of the Thirteenth Census in or
der to get at the truth in regard to
marriage, divorce, child bearing and
other subjects. After proving that
more women marry now than did for
merly she takes up the subject of di-
vorce as follows:
Increase in Divorces
There has been an increase in di-
vorce. In the thirty million married
women whom the census takers of
1910 reported, they found 1906 who
had been divorced. Considering the
difficulties OF married life, the number
does not appall. 1t rather gives one
a greater respect for human beings
to see that they can handle such a
complicated relation with such a
small percentage of disaster. There
is no other human relation that can
show anything like so large statis-
teal proof OF success The number OF
divorces found in 1910 is greater, pro-
portionately. than the census takers
in 1900, still larger than
they found in 1890. In each Of these
ten year periods there has been an
Increase of one tenth OF one per cent
1t is doubtful II this be due to loss OF
faith in marriage. A proportion of
it is due to a higher ideal Of mar
riage. an unwillingness to see the
relation prostituted by a dissoIute
cruel, or unfalthful partner.
Carelessness I'm Marriage
"A percentage is due, too, to the
greater carelessness with. which mar
riages are made under or changing
social practices. We fava removed
largely from boys and girls the pro-
tectiye social devices by which we
once guided their relations and
choices. They go and come freely
and, as might be expected, marry with
less sense Of the seriousness Of their

the Turkish frontier. and the Com

the conquest. In awarding Batum
to Russia, 1t was stipulated that the
port should not be made into naval
base, but the city is now a strongly
fortified station. In 1911, following
