Weddings Jump 94,780 or
8,4 Per Cent and DEGREES
Granted Increase 1924
or II Per Cent

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov 10
Marriage and divorces in the United
States increased last year, as com
pared with the previous year, ac-
cording to a statement Issued today
by the United states department of
commerce. The increase in the
number of divorces was II per cent
as compared with S.4 per cent in
marriages.
The statement shows there We're
in the United States in 1928, 1,229,826
marriages and 165,139 divorces. In
1922 there were 100000 marriages
and 14S,S15 divorces.
The increase in marriages in 1928
over 1924 was 94,7S0, or ga per cent.
Nebraska was the only state in
which there was a marked decrease
in 1928, due, it was stated, to an
amendment to the marriage law in
1923 requiring the posting Of the APP
plication for marriage licenses for
ten days before the license is issued.
Divorces reported for 1928, with
three counties lacking, show an in
crease of 1924, or Il per cent, over
the previous year. The large in
crease shown for the state of Wash
inston was said to be due to
change in the divorce law in 1921
which caused considerable de-
crease in the number of final de-
crees entered in 1922 the first year
in which the new law was in effect.
The number of marriages and di-

Unending Rains Washing
Crops Away Force Poverty
Exodus From Bleak West
Coast of Ireland

NEW YORK, Nov. Six months
of seemingly ceaselss rain along the
bleak west coast of Ireland is sweep
ing to American shores such a flood
of maid servants as this country has
not seen in a generation.
A cargo of 140 answers to the
servant problem recently arrived
upon the S. S. Laconia alone.
From Donegal bay, north of Coun-
ty Sligo, to the river shannon, south
Of County Clare, the dark-haired,
blue eyed pink checked daughters of
West Ireland's farm folk are in pow
erty-fOrced exodus.
IT seems as though the wee folk"
of the Irish tales we're at some tragic
prank.
What with a rain that has no end
ing, and the potatoes washed from
the ground, and the deep, long val
leys carrying torrential destruction,
great poverty and need have come
upon Mayo, Galway and Clare.
