Lack Of Religion, Mis-
mating and Spelling
Blamed by Three.
By Eloise walton

Lack Of religion, spoiled women
and n1ismating.
These were the reasons given by
three Indianapolis women today for
the fact that S.OO6 wives were
granted divorces in eighty-four In
diana counties in 1925, while only
S04 husbands were granted separa-
tions.
1T is the lack of religion that is
responsible" said Mrs. Felix T. Nc
Whirter, president Of the Woman's
Department Club. I'm no other
country is there less religion than in
America today. And we have more
divorces. We cannot keep home
together without religion.
Longs for One Man
'T believe that every normal
woman longs for the love Of one
man. Every normal woman wants a
home; and since there can be nc
real home without reverence for
God, when size finds this lacking.
she Is ready to break up the home.
