FRENCH DIVORCES GROW
In Increase of Twenty Per Cent
Record During War

lOultcu fIcS1 A1SpaCCzl{
Paris, Novsmh or 23.-The number
Of divorces IN France has Increased
by nearly twenty per cent since the
war. Statistics just complied for the
first year after the war show more
than Is, 900 divorces, or nearly seven
per cent Of the total marriages.
Owing to the steadily decreasing
birth rate the increase of divorces
constitutes a serious problem IN con-
nsftiOn with the future defense of the
Madamoiselle Helene Miropolsky,
one of the few women lawyers prac-
Using In the French courts, said:
aside from the moral causes that
influence the conduct of men and wo-
men, the economic revolution caused
by the war Is largely responsible for
the increase.
During such q cataclysm as the
war the number of domestic dramas
multiplied. A separation Of more than
four years Is bound to have some re-
suit. In the majority OF c4ses Il re:
suited in binding closer the tonds Of
affection-but there were hundreds OF
failures and surprises,
"The exceptional character OF the
present situation is revealed By the
statistics which show that the number
of divorces demanded . by the hus
bands Is dhuble the number dem and
ed by the wives. Before the war the
situation was exactly the reverse"

Bobby E7ar17e erich
 Model Athlete or The Diamond

Bobby '1Rabbit' Emmerich is not a big fellow physically, but he's ace high as a ball player.
 Emmerich has been one of the hardest and consistent workers in the Derby outfit-Emmericki is always on the job, whether the team is in the van or in the rear. He doesn't know what it is to ftlay down or lag in a game. The same EmmeriCh day in and day out full of pepper and ac- tfon, always fighting until the last man is put He's a splendid ex- ample of the sterling athlete.
 .aEhe Rabbit" by the way is. the leading run getter of the team, having crossed the plate S3 times. Hitting the ball around the .2S0 mark bis timely waIlops have also dispatched many of his comrades across the coveted rub ber.
 The brilliant work of Emmer- ich in the outfieid has also cut off many runs of opposing play CTS, and has been a PIeasureabIe incident for the fans during the season that is soon to end.
 In brief, Bobby Emmerich is 8 model type of ball player. He plays the game to win all the time.
