WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. Is
The Department of Commerce an
nounces that, according to the re-
ms received, there were 1,1S1,S3S
marriages performed in the United
States during the year 1925, as COM
pared with 1,17S,31S in 1924. These
figures represent an increase of $500
marriages, or 0.3 per cent. The rel
alive increase, however, was some
what less than the estimated in
crease in the population, which
amounted to 1.5 per cent.
In Indiana there were S6,S28 mar
riages in 1926, an increase of 500
from the number in 1925. This was
11.9 marriages for each 1000 popu-
lation. There were 7,46S divorces in
the State compared to 4,212 in 1925
an increase Of S.5 per cent.
During the year 1925 there were
175,495 divorces granted in the
United States, as compared with
10, 1852 in 1924, representing an in
k3E ase of 4,543, or 81 per cent.
1.-THE estimated population Of the
United States on July /, 1925 was
115,378,0 94, and on July l, 1924, 49,
727,432. On the basis of these esti-
mates the number of marriages per
1000 of the population was 1912 in
1925, as against 10.4 in 1924 and the
number of divorces per 1000 of the
population was 1852 in 1925, as
against $50 in 1924.
Differ In States
While the net increase in the num-
Der of marriages performed in the
country as a whole was only g per
cent, the relative change in the diff
ferent States ranged from a decrease
of 1875 per cent in Georgia to an in
crease of 1914 per cent in Florida and
an increase of 81 per cent in Ne
braska.
Other States showing considerable
decreases in theNnumber of marriages
were Iowa with a decrease Of 11.S
per cent; Wyoming with a decrease
of 1913 per cent; Michigan, with
QCCI case VI IL pSA SSllNJ anu AehdAiOf
with a decrease Of SIS per cent. Other
States showing large increases In
clude North Dakota with an increase
If 1871 per ce ut; South Carolina, with
an increase Of &c per cent Utah,
with an increase of 80 per cent, and
Tennessee, with an increase of So
per cent.
The rate of 1912 marriage per
1000 of the population for the United
States as a whole represents an av-
erage of rates in the individual
States ranging from in Delaware
and ST. in Wisconsin to 1868 in Mary
land and 1919 in Florida. In general
Re charges in the number of mar
ges per 1000 Of the population
form a more satisfactory index Of
the trend with regard to marriage
in the several States than do the alb
solute figures or the numbers Of
marriages, because they take &C
count Of differences in the rate Of
increase in the general population.

BLOOD TEST FOR CHICKENS
URGED

A blood serum test for chickens
suspected of being carriers" of the
baccilary white diarrhea germ is be-
ing urged on poultry raisers who are
experiencing high mortality during
the early life of their chicks. The
agglutination test will not only
bring to light the infected individu-
ais in the flock, but will also, by
bringing about their removal, pro-
tect the healthy chicks and growing
stock from infection.
Reports from many sections of the
East indicate that there is an unus-
ual amount of baccilary white diar-
rhea prevailing this season. From an
economic viewpoint, this disease is
probably the most serious scourge
with which the poultry raiser has TO
contend. What makes it all the more

In contrast to common diarrhea,
baccilary white diarhhea is not only
infectious but highly contagious, es-
pecially during the first days of a

tute. The affected chicks are drOw-
sy, listless. ruffled and droopy, ap-
pear "shOrt-backed" and "all wings

In a great many cases the source of
the disease lies in the infected ovar-
