"Till Death Do Us Part" k*
 Goes in Arcadian Canada

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 1.--Marriages in Canada are successful, and fam flies still are loyal to the "till death do us part" tradition. Di- vorces granted in the Dominion mum. bered only 5f4 in 1922, or two-thirds of one per cent. of all the marriages contracted according to a report Just compiled by the Dominion Blu reau of Statisctics.
 Based on population. the report shows, divorces numbered seven to every 100000 persons. Divorces in the United States, according to of ficial figures for the last year on record. number 1i2 to every 100. 900 people
 "rhe 1922 figures" says the re port. "probabiv indicate that the wave of divorce due to the war has reached it's highest point and is now

on the decline. Total decrees grant cd last year showed a reduction of four compared with 1921. This re- markedly low percentage of divorces shows the stability of Canadian homes and institutions"
 Of the total divorces granted. hus- bands received 316. or about 70 per cent. British Columbia led in decrees issued. with 13s. followed by Alberta with 129 and Manitoba with s7. One province. Prince Edward Island granted no divorces. Only one divorce has been granted in this
 province since 1888. and that was In 1922.
 The greater per cent. of the d. vorced were residents of cities. Com paratively few applications were made among the agricultural popula' tion.

Ice Cream Is An Early Outlaw In England

LONDON, Aug. 1-England does not have to contend with prohibi- ton but, according to the ideas of the Ice Cream and Temperance Re freshment Trades Federation. the regulations against the sale of ice cream and soft drinks would make MT. Volstead envious.
 Under the present law the sale of this class of refreshment is prohib- ited after 930 in the evening. The bone of contention is that the West End clubs and hotels are allowed to sell ice creams until midnight while the working classes cannot buy it after half past nine. The regulation was enacted as a war time measure.
 The Federation will urge the La. bor Party to place the matter be. fore the House of Commons.

 With becoming fiignity l have. maintained our rights and have yielded willingly to the rights of others and we dwell in a cherished and unthreatened peace
 Achievements Attained.
 Among the achievements Of the last two years, the President listed the conclusion of peace with Ger many, Austria and Hungary; the arms conference. and the British debt settlement. ~
