DIVORCES IN FRANCE
DOUBLED SINCE WAR
Infidelity, Desertion and Lack OF
Moral Responsibility Given
as Main Causes,

Divorces have doubled in France
since the war, according TO figures
made public recently.
A general divorce law was nrst
passed in France in 1884, and In that
year there were 1857 divorces.
In 1913, the number Of divorces were
1872. In 1919, when the armies
were being disbanded and people were
free to put their houses in order, this
number reached 1906. In 1920 1t
reached 81, 4e5, in 1921 the number
was 30, 49S and the last year 3O,753.
The causes of this increase of d.
vorces are not tabulated, due to the
secrecy of court proceedings relating
to family affairs.
However, the general causes are in
fidelity. desertl0n and the slow break
ing up Of the family tie during the
war, with the greater freedom that
has come to women who began to earn
their living during the war. Both
sexes, 1t Is said, lave lost in some
measure their sense of moral respon-
sibility.
Another cause given is nervousness
growing out of the war, making both
sexes less able to bear the restraints
and trials of married life. Yet an
other cause is the tolerance of the
courts and the ease with which d.
vorces may be obtained. one factor of

SEEK MARK SUBSTITUTE
Germans Experiment With Bonds
Based on Commodities.

Based on Commodities.
In an effort to find a stable basis
for Investment, public and private Ger
man Institutions have noated issues
based upon some commodity rather
than on the paper mark, says Consul
o. n. Nelson of Berlin, in report
to the Department of Commerce. Rye,
wheat, coal and coke have thus been
used.
Although bond based upon COM
modify is not absolute protection for
the investor, purchase of such bonds
is a guaranty that depreciation will be
limited by fluctuations in the price of
the commodities. Further, relative
rise in the price of the commodity be-
tween the time of investment and ma
turity of the bond gives the investor
an opportunity to profit.

GOVERNOR AGAIN
EXTENDS SESSION
Third Time Sitting of Legislature
Has Been Prolonged for Budget
Bill.

CHARLESTON w. VA, May IN.
--Governor Morgan tonight called an
extended session fthe legislature,
the third such call since the regular
session ended, for the purpose Of
passing a budget bill, and this time
made the extension until June 80, the
end of the fiscal year.
B The call was sent to the final
meetings Of the two branches to-
night in a proclamation read to the
members when they met as a COM
munication fros. the executive.
As soon as the proclamation had
been read at the senate session a
statement from the governor was
given out, in which he expressed his
views on the latest action in the ef-
forts to carry through the legisla-
ture the passage Of bin to make
appropriations for state expendi-
lures for the next two years.
In extending the session, the state
ment said; Il have complied with
the duty that the constitution inn
poses on the executive, and / mere
" request the legislature to perform
the duty imposed by the same con-
stitution on the legislative arm Of
the government. The session has
been extended that the legislature
may have ample opportunity, not to
act upon an ultimatum of the gov
ernor, but to comply with the solemn
mandate Of the constitution.
II am very hopeful that an agree
ment will be reached on the budget
during this extended session. There
are no political considerations in
volved in. the passage of budget
that should impede orderly progress
in the two houses. Early enactment
Of the budget bill means the contin-
ued transaction fthe states busin-
ess with little interruption, while
failure to provide appropriations
would be calamity to the entire
state that ought to be avoided"
The proclamation itself merely re-
viewed the fact that twice since the
regular session ended April ~, ex-
tensions Of 10 days each had been
proclaimed, and further extended the
session ended April n, extensions of
10 days each had been proclaimed,
and further extended the session un-
til the 30th day of June, 1923, or
such portion of said period as may
be necessary for the passage Of said
budget bill and supplementary APP
Precipitation bill. Just three mem
bers Of the senate attended its sess-
ion and heard the proclamation and
adjourned until Monday afternoon.
Senator Clyde B. Johnson, democrat
ic floor leader, presided, while before
him sat Senator Cohen C. Arnold, of
Upshur county, republican, chairman
o fthe finance committee, and Sem
ator Hugh Byrer of Barbour County.
