OUR NATIONAL LIFE
STARTLING FIGURES SHOWN BY
NOTED JURIST-JAPAN OUR
ONLY RIVAL

Winona Lake, 1nd.-(A P.)-Di-
vorces are granted in America at the
rate of one every four minutes
throughout the year, and are more
numerous here annually in proper
ton to total population than in any
other country which records marriage
statistics. The annual total of de-
crees for the 48 states is in the
neighborhood of 100000 and is in
creasing three times as fast as the
population. Such are the conclu-
sions of Judge w. H. Thomas of San
ia Ana California, former associate
justice of the California district court
of appeals, drawn from a world sur
vey of marriage and divorce figures
in preparation for an American cam
paign for a national code governing
marital relations.
Judge Thomas survey included 81
countries, and the summary of his
study, made public here, reaches back
into the domestic relations of ancient
Rome, Greece, and Babylon. In his
conclusions is the suggestion that our
national life is seriously threatened
by the present status of our family
relationships. Much of our trouble,
he believes, is chargeable to the
chaotic state of our marriage laws,
and his recommendation is a uni
form law, applicable to all American
territory, based on wisdom and ex-
perience.
In contrast with nine records, one
divorce for every nine marriages"
Judge Thomas said, those of France
and Germany, our closest competi-
tors, dwlndle into significance We
have only one rival, Japan Until
recently that nation has been grind
ing out divorces faster than our own.
Now, however, the United States CEN
sus bureau discloses rapidly ,
table of divorce which far
the ratio of increase in
population. Our rate of increase in
divorces between 1870 and 1917, was
for the entire country, exactly 400
per cent" In 1870, he said, we had
20 divorces for every 100000 of popu- I
lation; in 1916 the figure was 112 for
each 100000
{" Our country heads the list among
the nations of the world in this down
ward procession. In 1890 there were
81, JOY divorces here; in 1916 there
we're 10000. In Canada in the whole
year OF 1913 there were SO divorces"
Judge Thomas came here recently

he National Reform association at

erence on Christian citizenship.

HARRINGTON NOVEL FILMED

Foremost among the novels which
have brought Booth Harrington last
ing fame, is undoubtedly 1.-THE Man
From Home" which has now been
translated to the screen and which
will be showing at the Kenworthy
theatre, next Wednesday and Thurs
day. With the action laid mostly in
Italy, and several scenes in England
and America, the story is a thrilling
one and in it's transference to the
screen it has lost none of its inten-
sity. Produced by George Fitzmaur-
ice for Paramount, it has been in
vested with the customary fire and
vigor expected from this virile direc-
tor. One of the chief details is the
excellent cast, which comprises such
favorites as James Kirkwood, Anna
@. Nilsson, Norman Kerry, Dorothy
Cumming, and John Miltern.

Tennessee, and Vermont, the common

by the courts. In 10 states there is

1.-THE need of uniform divorce law
is apparent" Judge Thomas declares.
Disregard for the sancity OF mar
riage, over-emphmasis Of sex, under
emphasis of domestic responsibilities,
lack of uniformity in the law were
among the chief contributing causes
that led to the downfall Of Rome, of
Greece, of Babylon. We cannot al
low the rate of divorce in the United
States to continue at three times the
rate of population increase.
But legislation will not usher IN
an era of wisely planned marriages.
The real hope of the world lies in
putting as much painstaking and pro-
gressive thought into the great bust
ness of mating as we do into the
other big businesses OF our day, and
in bringing to bear upon marriage the
advanced ideas Of science, religion
and law, so that we shall be able to
offer to young men and women a
sensible presentation of the subject
that will convince them of the neces-
sity of permanent family relations
and assure them of the happiness to
be found in a wholesome, family life.
Unification of marriage and di-
yorce laws is only partial solution
of the problem. There must be early
training for marriage and parenthood,
and this cannot be provided for by
law"

Most folks forget that the kidneys
like the bowels, sometimes get slug
gish and clogged and need a flushing
occasionally, else we have backache
and dull misery in the kidney region,
severe headaches, rheumatic twinges,
torpid liver, acid stomach, sleepless-
ness and all sorts of bladder dis

You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney

best. In case of doubt, French Break
fast in the olive shade, Scarlet Globe
in the round, and some of the 2O-day
specialties can be recommended. Any
of the long scarlet types give much
the same result, the Improvement in
the newer varieties being in regularity
and uniformity of growth.
Radish soil must be rich and fine
and deeply worked. 1t is best to have
the manure dug in during the fall, or
IL that has not been done it should be
well rotted and well incorporated with
the soil in the spring. Radishes will
grow almost anywhere If the soil is
rich and in almost any sort of soil ex-
cept clay. Clay soil needs to be light
ened with ashes or sand and copious
dressings Of manure spaded into it If
rGdishes are to do their best in 1t.
Radishes may be sown broadcast pro
vlded the seed is not scattered too
thickly or in rows as close together
as six inches.

COLOR MASSES OF
SPECIAL FLOWERS
Care Should Be Used in Making
Selection for Background

Special flowers may be chosen to
provide a mass of a particular color
in the flower bed. The United States
Department of Agriculture has pre-
pared a convenient list, which also H.
dicates the height to which the vari-
Gus flowers may be expected to grow,
so that from it one may select plants
for the background of the bed, or
others for low border, and at the
same time make sure of mixing only
those which harmonize.
Among white flowers, or those with
pure white varieties, one may choose
from the four-foot list, cosmos, dahlla
and sweet-sultan, growing three
feet; clarbia, cornfiower, larkspur
and scabiosa, reaching two and one
half feet; baby's breath. china aster,

Pinyon Jays a Nuisance.

Pinyon jays, inhabiting Rocky noun
tain states, are birds of the same FAM
fly as crows and about half their size.
Between nesting seasons they rove in
large flocks, often containing hun
dreds of birds, and cause serious dam
age to grain crops. Successful experi-
ments in methods of control IF these
birds when attacking corn were made
by the biological survey Of the United
States Department of Agriculture in
west-central Colorado, and leaflet
containing directions for using a SIM
pie but effective poison formula has
been distributed in that territory. Dur
ing the wheat harvest control meas
ures are not so successful, and in large
fields, where the birds can find ample
food, the use of poisoned baits Is not
found profitable.

TEXAS UNIVERSITY
PROFESSOR GATHERS
ODD STUDENT DATA
Find Out What Practices
Considered Most .
Reprehensible.

Austin, Tex, Feb. ADJUST what
practices the average college student
considers most reprehensible and
most to be avoided are revealed in
the results of a series Of tabulations,
extending over period of three years,
recently announced by DR.. A. 7.
Brogan, adjunct professor of philo-
sophy at the University of Texas.
Separate tabulations were made of
the opinions of men and women stu
dents in the elementary course in
ethics, the results announced being
those obtained from the spring of
1919 to the spring of 1921. In the
average obtained there are included
the opinions of 534 students, 242 men
and 292 women.
Among the women the practices
which are considered worse are listed
in the following order: Sex irregular.
ity, stealing, cheating, lying, drinking,
gambling, vulgar talk, Sabbath break
ing, swearing. gossip, selfishness, idle
ness, snobbishness, extravaganza,
smoking and dancing. Among the
men practically the same order of
ranking was obtained, the only diff
ference being that gambling was said
to be worse than drinking and gossip
was not quite as bad as ranked by
the women,
The results obtained, extending as
they do over period of years, give
n clear picture Of what students con-
slider most reprehensible. Not all of
the practices were considered bad by
all of the students, and the practices
listed as least bad include at least
few opinions rating them as "least
good" Reports Of individual students
during the years studied and during
subsequent years, have Varied very
eording TO DIR. Brogan. Other vices
have been listed from time to time
Disrespect, criticism and aimlessness
were often named as things which
the student should avoid while in
school, and Speeding, profiteering and
Bookkeeping were listed as vices to be
avoided in the home town..
Comparison of the results at the
University of Texas with results OBJ
tanned in similar fluctuations at the
University of Kansas, the University
of Chicago and the University OF.
Wisconsin, show that the moral
standards OF the different sections
are practically alike. At Texas Sab
bath breaking is ranked eighth, while
at all the northern universities it is
ranked fourteenth. This is, DIR. Bro
gan states. the only striking difference
between the sections.
