Illinois registered second for di-

States ranked: Ohio, 1886; Cali
tornia, 1928; Michigan, 1924, and
Missouri, 9,104.
All States showed increased d..
vorces oyer 1928.
None In South Carolina.
South Carolina was the only
state without a divorce-the State
legislature abolished laws permit
ting divorce in 1878.
New York, in spite Of its great
population and record of JOG, 312
marriages, was low in the divorce
statistics. Only 1922 legal separa-
tons were reported.
Illinois ranked next to New York
in marriages, S1,91S ceremonies
States in the first division" Of
marriage were:
Pennsylvania, 1881; Texas, H.
1856; California, 55.677; Ohio, 50,346,
and Michigan, 9,788.
The census bureau does not go
into the causes for divorce nor the
excuses for marriage.
Officials, however, declared that
the main basic cause for increas-
ting divorces is the lack of prelim-
mary consideration, of the troubles
and duties of marriage.
Put Blame On Laws.
Officials were inclined to place a
great deal of blame on the mar.
rage laws, although the statutes
pertaining TO legal separation are
held responsible for many divorces.
Weakness of the divorce laws are
said to make experimental mar
r1ages easy in many States.

bobbed haired housewife and the
belled trousered male, are held by
some authorities to form cOmbi-

Of papa and mamma"
On the other hand some liberal
minded experts charge TO the moral
reformers responsibility for an
enormous increase in hypocrisy in
the United States that has had a
distinct reaction in marriage fizzles.
Convention Is Gone
Blame. too, was put en- the past
generation. Sociological authorities
attributed the alleged moral laxity
and free living of today to "siIly
and ill-advised restraints" clamped
around the boys and girls of yes
terday.
Yesterday these girls were bound
as tightly with social conventions
as were their bodies squeezed with
iron ribbed corsets,' one Govern
n1ent social worker said.
Now these ribs and conventions
are gone. They wear virtually ne
clothes and run wild. Marriage al
an institution suffers"

When you see The Ace, you will marvel
that anything so yielding can yet be so
strong. But until you experience its era

Aftera lifetime of use, twill still be flexible,
firm and quiet. When other springs of
equal age are creaking, bulging, broken
and sagging, The Ace will still be giving
luxurious and silent service.
There is literally no other spring like it.
The stout frame of angle steel is stifened
by 9 large cross members. To this sturdy
foundation, 90 resilient spirals, 8 inches
deep, are securely anchored.
At their centers, as we'll as their tops these
big main spirals are tied together into

Ace comfort and long life is further in

See The Ace before deciding on any bed

Scouts Take ECLIPSE Hike.

Saturday morning, January Gath,
just at day light long line of
some 20 scouts sailed forth from
their headquarters equipped with
the latest devices for observing
solar eclipses. The vantage point
sought was a high barren hill about
a mile south of the Memorial School.
Up to appointed time, SOL, every
thing had gone as per schedule but
about that time things began to go
wrong as a few. thousand other
would-be eclipse viewers can also
testify. Clouds piled up in the east
and all that could be seen was
half baked shadow supposedly de-
scending upon the earth. The scouts
were bitterly disappointed. One of
them summed his disgust up in this
wise $50 this is the eclipse and it
never even got dark"
After the great event the tote

tory and it's fifth of the season
when it came back in the second
half to overwhelm the Aurora five
10 to 9 at, the Memorial gym fl-
day. This was the second defeat
of the year for Aurora at the hands
of Ely.
To date Ely has the second best
record on the range, Virginia hay
ing not yet lost a game. With
WINS over Gilbert, Biwabik, Tower
and Aurora, and only two losses,
the team stands an excellent chance
of presenting one of the most
satisfactory seasons records an Ely
team has enjoyed for some time.
They are expected to win from
Eveleth tonight and should get an
even break in their games with BIZ
wabik, Mountain Iron, Chisholm,
Gilbert and Two Harbors.
Aurora threatened to bring Ely's
winning streak to an abrupt close
and made Coach Buckley's stalwarts
travel at their fastest gait to win
before large crowd of ardent sup
porters. With Ely playing ragged
ball in the first half the visitors
sprung surprise by gaining an
"a advantage. But in the second
half Ely staged desperate struggle
t overcome the margin, drew up on
even terms in the final chapter and
then swept on to a clear-cut VIC
tory to bring a melo-dramatic sltua-
ton to a melo-dramatic close. The
interest of the spectators was kept
at a high pitch of excitement and
several hundred went home satisfied.
Ely showed DINNER eye for the
netting than previously. Shots that
would have been unfailing baskets
were missed, especially so in the
first half when numerous pot shots
went astray. But in the latter half
when the team recovered from its
slump the shooting took on new
aspect and Anderson scored twice
on two long, soaring losses which
swished through the basket cleanly.
Aurora played, an aggressive sort of
ball marked by plenty of passing
and must be credited for their fine
showing. Both teams emphasized
on their defensive pay and that ac-
counts for the low score. In their
brilliant drive of the second half
Ely held Aurora to a lone point.
Heittola of Aurora made all of his
teams nine points.
He opened the scoring of the
game by connecting with two free
throws. Soon after he scored again
from the court but a field goal by
Pluth and free throw brought Ely
up to Aurora's heels. In the Sec
ond quarter Aurora added four
more points to its total while Ely
could garner only one. But with
the score 8-4 against them Ely be-
gan to overtake the visitors. Maki's
free throw and two long shots by
Anderson put Ely into the lead 9
to 8. Aurora attempted a rally
but their efforts were in vain as
Roterus, Maxi and Pluth all count
ed in quick succession.

A letter from Phil Olin at Rio
Linda, California, states that him
self and family are all well and en-
joying the climate. Phil says ''the
frogs are singing in the low places
and our coolest weather is over.
We had some pretty frosty morn
ings around the first of the year
and the temperature got down to
20 above, but what is that to a
former Minnesotean? One cord of
oak wood will do me this winter"
From the papers we learn that the
citrus trees were damaged by frost
and we will tell Phil and the world
that the orange and lemon trees in
Minnesota were not frosted even
with the temperature down to 40
below zero.
