WASHINGTON DIVORCE. MILLS
CLOGGED BY SOARING PRICES
Volume of Nonsupport Charges Doubles in
Year-Derelict Husbands Blame High
Cost Of Living.

That the ever-increasing cost of
living is playing no small part in
the domestic troubles in many
Washington households is indicated
by the increasing number of wives
who complalA to the District Su-
preme Court about the failure Of
their husbands to provide for them.
Twice as many divorce suits, in
which non-support charges are
prominent, have been filed, so far,
in the court than there were during
the same period last year. For
July and August. to date. thirty
wives have carried their troubles to
court, compared with only fifteen
for a like period in 1918.
More husbands, when ordered into
court to show cause why they
shouldn't pay their wives alimony,
blame their failure to provide on
the high cost of living, and protest
when the court orders them TO pay
even a small potion of their in
comes to their wives.
Many wives Working.
More women than ever. who are
having trouble getting their hus-
bands to provide for them, are
either working or looking for jobs,

according to their petitions. and in
variably they complain that their
Jobs do not bring in a sufficient in
come.
Many OF the husbands complain
that II they are to pay such ali
mony as the court orders. they will
have nothing at all left for them
selves.
Women whose court worries are ap-
parently over, those who are getting
alimony by court DEGREES. are coming
back into court to have their alimony
increased because the purchasing
value of the dollar has shrunk. When
these cases are presented In court the
husbands or eN-husbands of these
women have the some story to tell
they cannot afford to increase their
alimony payments because of the hign
cost of living.
worst Yet to Come.
At the present rate, the courts will
be fairly swamped this fall with
divorce suits in which non-support is
the main factor. Many of the cases
that have already been called to the
attention of the court are cases of
almost abjeet poverty, Others are
just on the verge of desperation and
still others are having the usual, regu-
lar hard time to make ends meet. Not
a woman, who has applied to the
court in the last two months has
been refused temporary alimony, al
though husbands have hotly contested
the claims.
