BIRTHS INCREASE
DEATHS DECREASE

More than twice as many births than
deaths have occurred in Kenosha coun-
ty this year and more than FIVE times as
many marriages as divorces have taken
place. In other words, both the NOR
tally and the morality reports for the
year 1919 in Kenosha county are good.
In the twelve months ending today
there have been 1172 births reported to
the health board and to the register
of deeds and 538 deaths. The births
for 1918 were greatly in excess of the
births in 1918, according to the state
ment made at the city health depart
ment while there have not been nearly
so many deaths. The cause of there
being fewer deaths this year is that
the principal rayages made by the in
fiuenza in this county were in 1918.
Up to noon today there had been 353
marriage licenses granted. This was
almost twice the number of licenses
granted in 1913, the number for that
year having been 191. The cause Of the
great increase is that the young men of
manageable age were away in the war
Many Early Marriages.
Some Of the marriages were by per
sons. who got married the very first
minute the law would allow them Ac-
cording to the laws oe Wisconsin, a girl
from fifteen to eighteen years of age
must have the written consent of her
parents or guardian before she can
marry. Under the age Of fifteen she
can not marry even with the consent
of her parents However, there were
quite number who obtained marriage
licenses as soon as they arrived at the
age of fifteen. The same way with the
young man Between the ages of
eighteen and twenty-one the man must
obtain the consent of his parents or
guardian and under the age of eighteen
he can not marry even with their con
sent. But there were large number of
young men who married just as soon as
they had reached their 18th birthday.
"There were not many pieces of anti
guilty to apply for licenses,'' said Miss
Russell, deputy county clerk today.
There were a few over sixty, but none
had reached the age of seventy"
1T was impossible to obtain the exact
number Of divorces granted in the year
1919, but Judge j. R. Clarkson stated
that they were approximately seventy.
