CHICAGO DIVORCES
BREAK ALL RECORDS

CHICAGO, July 25.-The court year
which just closed will go down on
court records as the greatest divorce
year. DEGREES numbered 6.220, which
almost IS per cent. Of the marriage
licenses issued.
The war, liquor and an increasing
laxity Of views regarding the solem-
nifty Of marriage are blamed for the
unusual number OF ruined romances,
according to the experts.
THE war, which prompted hasty
marriages, has greatly increased the
number Of domestic tragedies" assert
I'd Judge Hopkins. WAR weddings in
Z cases out Of 10 proved failures. The
Young brides were afraid Of those !
strange men they married two years
ago. A great cause Of unhappiness in
married life is liquor. The next few
months will see a great decrease in
divorces"

other elements which increase the
cost OF operating the roads under one
head. such as the rentals of the small
roads. relations with short lines not
under Federal control. inland water

Cong. Griffin Attacks
Trick transfer System
As Absurd and Unjust

Characterizing the trick" transfer
system on Washington's two street
railways as absurd and Unjust" and
declaring the system should be at
once honored by a simple transfer
plan between cars oof the two COM
panies, Congressman Anthony J.
Griffin, of New York. has written a
letter Of protest to the chairman Of
the Public Utilities Commission.
In his letter Mr.. Griffin states that
in all probability one-tenth of the
patrons of the street car lines in
Washington are unaware of the tech
nical distinction between them and
the complicated system of transfer
and acceptance the commission has
authorized. Washington is pre-
eminently a strangers city," the let
ter states" and any system of street
railway transfer should be simple,
direct and comprehensive; without
devious tricks and exceptions"
Asked for Transfer.
The Congressman states that he
distinctly asked a conductor OF the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company for a transfer to the Navy
Yard line at Massachusetts avenue.
The transfers were sold, he states,
but the conductor on the Navy Yard
car failed to honor them. They sold
the transfers and are probably doing
il every day." the letter says, but
it was not until we got on the Navy
Yard car that l found the transfers
would not be honored."
stripping the matter OF all YER
biage the fact stands out clearly that
the conductors on the Washington
Railway and Electric Company line
should not sell transfers to the navy
yard line. knowing that they are
going to be presented at North Capt.
