The unique star is given the oppor-

could handle as Mae Marsh does. All
these qualities which first brought
her fame she displays with COMPEL

There have been thousands Of girls
who came from the Emerald Isle to

to the stage. In the new GoldWyn

to make more women realize that

First and most important, a far

movement for training retail sales

a school for training men and WON

One may be pardoned for specu-
lating on prevailing fashions and
the part their provocative audacity
may have played in the securing Of
these $3.50 DEGREES.

DesertiOn ana Divorce.
Desertion is the most fruitful
source OF divorce in the United
States, being the cause of about
one-third OF all the DEGREES. This
charge may mean incompatibility,
whole category of human failings.
The irresponsibibIe partner has a
way Of side-steping his matri-
mOnial blunder, He prefers to fade
away" rather than to stand and
face the music; this enables the sur
vivor to sue on a charge of deser-
ton.
Many people are under the impress
sion that alimony Is peculiarly q
perquisite Of the wife-a glance
At the State Of Wisconsin disproves
this fallacy. In 1915, PSI per cent
Of the Wisconsin DEGREES gave the
husband a preferred position as TO
alimony.
The significant fact is that di-
vorce Is on the increase in the
United States One marriage out OF
every ten goes on the rocks. and

4 BULLETIN OF the Federal
"A Census Department reveals
4 the fact that more than 10
per cent Of the marriages in this
country end in divorce. And that
the number and proportion Of di-
vorces have been steadily increasing
for the past thirty years.
Since 1906 the number Of divorces
has inreased in every State of the
Union except Colorado, Maine, South
Dakota, and West Virginia These
states are sufficiently far apart,
geographically speaking, to elimi-
nate the question of climate, food
and laws as factors in the conserVa-
ton Of family life.
The only conclusion one might
draw from these four banner states,
domestically speaking, is that each
has q large agricultural population
and that people who live on farms
are too busy to squabble. But as
the argument fails in regard ito
other States with equally large
farming communities, we are driven
TO believe that these four happy
valleys are entirely a matter OF
chance.
Divorces began to increase in the
United States rapidly after the civil
war. From the year 1857 to 1875
they climbed to 1922 per year; in
1915 the official figure showed 1l2,-
O26 DEGREES. In the ten years pre-
cedinE the last Federal census the
population OF the country increased
2O.7 per cent and the divorces in
creased 6S.4 per cent
AEainst the Husbaa4A.
The detailed statistics Of lOs.7O2
decrees granted in 1915 indicate
that 31.1 per cent were granted to
the husband and 74.e per cent TO the
wife. Desertion and nonsupport,
which are the .commonest cause OF
breaking the marriage tie, leads the
department officials to suggest that
Il Is due to this fact that the hus-
bands appear as the chief sinners.
The question OF inhdelity and the
divorces granted for this cause ar
ford food for thought. More men
were granted divorces for unfaith-
fulness on the part of their wives
than vice versa. OF the I2.4S6 de-
erees granted for this cause, $3.50
