WANT UNIFORM
 DIVORCE LAWS
Southern Baptists Blame Moving Pic lures, Lax Laws and Intemperance for Family Breaks-War Mar
 riages, Too, Blamed.

Washington, May 17.--Moving pie ! lures, lax laws and intemperance are blamed for the numerous divorces in the United States by the committee of temperance and social service in it's report to the Southern Baptist conven- tion today. Enactment of uniform code of marriage and divorce laws was recommended as a remedy. Quoting from government statistics on the number of divorces obtained annually in the country, the report shows that in 1916, when the last fig ures were gathered, there were l12.- 036 dlvorces.
 Were later figures available, the re- port continued, "the picture would doubtless be darker still, certainly this would be true of 1919, owing to the large number of hasty and foolish marriages contracted during the war"
 As a primary cause of "this sad con- dition" which is characterized as an ugly specter which looms on the hori- I.zon of our civilization" the report de- nounces the motion picture as now produced, declaring that nearly every l film put on the screen contains some where some evil suggestion. Many of l the films are based on the eternal triangle and the suggestion of disre- gard if not open breach of the mar | Itial relations"
 Liquor has been one prolific cause of divorce, according to the report, but this cause is now removed, it says, If we shall demand the enforcement of the law"
 Laxness of the laws of marriage and divorce is ''unquestionably one of the most fruitful causes of the pre- valent and growing divorce evil" the report states, emphasizing the need of better laws regulating marriage
 Many of the marriage and divorce laws of the states are described as 'foolishly absurd"
 State Legislation. Amendment to the constitution to give the federal government control over the matter is suggested, but ow- ing to the time this would require Legislative enactment in the several states is recommended in the mean. time.
