CYJLDLESS DIVORCES

= Here taken from address by Judge who has
presided many hundred divorce cases, is what
looks like the key to the modern divorce evil.
Ninety per cent of the divorce in his court,
the Judge says brought by chidless couples, and
95 per cent Of them involve persons who make effort
to own their own homes.
Here we seem to find two simple truths. Di-
vorces nearly all from lack of children and lack
of real homes.
Too much comment on divorces has assumed that
there were children. Needless tears have been shed
for the plight of those supposed to be robbed Of one
parent left dangling uncertainty between two sep
arated parents. What cases there are Of this sort
are sad enough but if nine-tenths Of the divorced
couples chdess there fewer children thus de-
prived of their natural rights of parents and home
than has been supposed.
Every child should have home. But the child
comes first 1t is children, more than anything else
that make homes. 1t is children in the home, more
thar anything else, that lead parents to own their
own home Given children and home-ovnership,
matrimonial venture is likely to be successful.

assuring It's well to know that if another war ever
should break out, American at least will be pre-
