nth STREET BRIDGE
MUST Be STRENGTHENED
Legislature Having Failed to
Pass Loan Bill the Situa-
ton is Acute.

The defeat of the Legislative measure
providing for either of the two bridges
proposed for Wilmington, by its dying"
in the Senate committee on Municipal
Corporations. was a sore disappoint-
ment to those who had hoped for that
one of them, at least, might have been
authorized.
County Engineer Charles r. Grubb
was on hand at Dover until the last
moment, prepared TO give any infor-
nation in his power 30 the committees.
He said this morning: Il felt that the
passing of the bridge measures was
due Wilmington and cannot understand
why that view did not prevail. The
Eleventh street bridge Will have to be
strengthened. which is a makeshift
policy: the Market street structure will
stand up for another two years, but
is not wide enough to handle present
traffic adequately.
The 100000 bond issue already au-
thorized for a bridge between Eleventh
and Market street bridges is not enough
to reconstruct either bridge, even If
available. which is a matter for the
Iseyv Court To decide. This was in
tended for replacing the Pine street
bridge, but is inadequate for that pur-
pose or anything but a foot bridge"

DIVORCE EVIL SPREADS
ALARM|NGly IN THE US
Rate in Twenty-four States is
Higher Than it Ever Has
Been in Japan.

Washington. March 28-"Tn no other
land are - many homes wrecked by
divorce. declares the Interna ional Re
form Bureau in a report on divorces in
the United States Just made public The
report declares that sin and the divorce
ovil are running rampant in the nation
and calls upon American women TO use
their vote in checking them.
The report contains tables Of sta tistics
on the divorce records. the first table.
which gives net divorce rates for A.
States and the District Of Columbia in
1916. showing that "a American States.
ranging from Vermont. at 253 divorces
per 100 600 population. 70 Nevada. at
652. had a divorce rate higher than was
over known in Japan. whose record was
supposed n be the worst in the world.
@Japan's rate uas 229 in 1886. but
a Federal law-take note-brought il
down in one year. 1899. To Isl. and by
1916 it had fallen to 109.' :" says the re
port.
This rate of 100 FOR Japan in 1916
is better than that Of eight more Amer-
can States from IL n Maine 70 ia
in Nebraska. This makes a total Of %
American States two-thirds Of AL. that
had a higher divorce rate than Japan
in census of 1915. The rate for all
states in 1915 was 136 per 100 900 net
population and liz per 100 900 total
population, and SO greater than Japan's
rate from every standpoint"
