 STRAIGHT WAGE GUY; SAYS
 WOULD WORK HARDSHIP
BODY OF DROWNING VICTIM NOT FOUND Servy Held for Death of Man and Wife in River
 at Windsor

Windsor, Conn.,, Jan. 2G.'--Whlle search continued today for the body of Mrs. George Okanus who with her husband was drowned in the Farm ington river at the trolley bridge spanning the stream at Poquonock, little hope was felt that it would be recovered at this time. Dynamite will not be used because the tendency would be to disodge the body and float it still further down stream and under the ice field. The mans body was found in open water close by the bridge abutment. The open water was dragged until late last night un- til the conclusion was reached that II had drifted away and under the ice. The weather is so cold that the river freezes over in the quiet water as fast as the ice was broken in the search.
 If the body got under the ice it may stay there until spring. As the village authorities turned the case over to the state police the matter of arraigning Peter Servy, the auto mobile driver who ran the machine to the edge of the bride, rests With those officers. The preliminary com plaints charge responsibility for death of the couple and violation of the law in driving a machine while intoXi- cated. u.
 Coroner Calhoun is yet to hold an inquest and until his finding is made Servy is not likely to have a court hearing.

MASS. LEADS STATES IN UNMARRIED WOMEN
3l.4 Per Cent. Of Those Living There Have No Husbands-EcwcrS Sin-
 gle Men In Country

Washington, Jan. 26.-The propor- population of the country 5 years of age and over increased from 55.S to 5y.2 per cent. in the ten years pre- ceding the 1920 census. according to q compilation of marital statistics made public today by the census bur eau. The bureau believed, however, that this was probably more indica- tive of a change in the age compost tion of the population-an increase in the percentage of males between 15 and 25 years old due to increased inn sity to matrimony
 Of the total male population Of o3, 900,431 above the 15 year classiiica- ton, the census figures showed 2l, S49,266 married, 1.75S,30S widowed, and 235,2S4 divorced, the latter figure, however, including none divorced and remarried. The divorce total showed an increase of 20 per cent. in it's ra- tio to the total population during the ten year period,
 By states, Massachusetts led the field in the proportion of single wom en with a percentage of 34.4, although the District of Columbia exceeded this with 373 per cent
 The census bureau pointed out however, that the ratio of men to women in the population naturally has very important bearing on the proportions of single men and wom on Wyoming led with TO per cent in the proportion of married women while the largest proportion of mar ried men, CPS per cent. was shown for Mississippi and Arkansas, and thu smallest, 45.9 per cent. for Nevada.
