DesertiOn Causes 0ne.third Of
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 ineOmpatibility,
shiftlessness, non-support and q
whole category Of human failngs.
The irresponsible partner has =
way Of side-stepping his matd-
monial blunder, he prefers to Hfads
away" rather than to stand and
face the music. This enables the
survivor to sue on q charge Of de-
sertion.
Many people are under the i'm
preston that alimony is peculiarly
a perquisite Of the wife--s glance
at the State Of Wisconsin dis
proves this faIlacy. In 1916 PSI
per cent Of the Wisconsin DEGREES
gave the husband a preferred po-
sition as to aimony.
The significant fact is that d.
vorce is on the increase in the
United States. One marriage out
of every ten goes on the rocks, and
yet the cry is for easier divorce
laws. 1t would seem as the life Of
a nation is made up of its eollec-
tive home life, and one cannot sur
vive without the other, that our
speeding up the divorce mill will
bear looking into.
Patrons of Divorce Are the Rich.
The great patrons Of the divorce
courts are the rich, or at least the
weIl-to-do, since legal separation
is luxury well-nigh out Of reach
Of the poor. Nor do the poor seek
relief from the courts as often as
the well-to-do or rich; they are too
busy trying to keep alive to con-
slider seriously the trivial causes
of disagreement Of their more
prosperous neighbors.
A lack Of the homemaking quail
ties on the part of the girls Of this
generation is another fruitful
cause of divorce. Would it not be
well if our nublic schools con-
cerned themselves with this prob
lem seriously? Initial attempts
have been made in this direction,
but they have not gone nearly far
enough. A thorough course in
domestic science ought to be given
to every future wife and mother in
the interests of better and more
stable American homes
The Washington times., 1919-08-15
Fairfax Writes Workers
Especially for Washington Women

A BULLETIN Of the Federal
"A Census Department re-
veals the fact that more
than ten per cent Of the mar
riages in this country end in di-
vorce. And that the number and
proportion Of divorces have been
steadily increasing for the past
thirty years.
Since 1906 the number Of d.
vorces has increased in every
State Of the Union except Colo
RADIO, Maine, South Dakota and
West Virginia. These States are
sufficiently far apart, gsographi-
cally speaking, to eliminate the
question of climate, food and laws
as factors in the conservation 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 re-
gard to other States with equally
large farming communities, we
are driven to believe that these
four happy valleys are entirely
matter C chance.
Divorces began to increase in the
United States rapidly after the
civil war. From the years 1887 to
1876 they climbed to 1922 per
year; In 1915 the Official figures
showed 112,026 DEGREES. In the ten
years preceding the last Federal
census the population Of the eoun-
try increased 20.7 per cent and the
divorces increased 6s.4 per cent.
And the end Of the great world
war may lead US to expect a still
greater speeding up in the number
Of divorces. War is q notorious
stimulant of the "marry in haste,
repent at leisure" policy. Young
people are urged to marry for pa
triotic reasons and apparently re-
ouire little persuasion. The drama
of the situation is q most valuable
first aid to Cupid, or the wicked
fairy that would seem to masque-
rade as Cupid when these unions
fail.

too much for milk because the price

cry. You are right
Apparently. however, you have not
considered this element in the equa-

II should be graded. It Is very waste
