D. c. DIVORCE RATE
LOWEST IN UNION
Census Bureau Reports OFT
Per 1000 of Population
as AScertained Ratio.

The District of Columbia had lower
divorce rate last year than any State
in the Union, it was disclosed last night
by the Bureau of the Census. The Dis
trict had ratio Of OPT divorces per
1000 of population, despite the fact that
the figures for the country showed a
steadily rising divorce rate, accom-
panied by a decline in marriages.
Next to the District, the lowest di-
rorce rate in the country was found in
New York. where there were but 0.44 di-
Vorces per 1000 population in 1927.
Figures Given for the Year.
Divorces granted during the year
numbered 192,037, an increase of IL .184.
or 81 per cent above the previous high
year, which was 1926. Marriages for
1927 numbered 1,200,694, or 1880 less
than in 1926.
Since the estimated population of the
United States on July /, 1927, was 49,
$4,000, approximately 500, 900 greater
than the 117,l36,000 population esti-
mated for 1926, the marriage rate was
shown to have reached a new low fig
ure at the same time that the divorce
rate was making a new top. The num-
Der of marriages was 1912 per / 1000 of
population in 1927, whereas in 1925 it
was 1927, while the divorce rate was
1.62 per 1000 population in 1927,
against 1.54 in 1926.
Nevada Cited As Example.
Though many other States were found
by the bureau figures to have had
larger number of divorces than Nevada,
the effect of the rapid divorce status of
that State was shown to have been
maintained in 1927. The number Of
legal unloosenings of the marital lie in
Nevada during 1927 was 1853, an in
crease of 81 per cent over the States
total of divorces in 1926 producing a
ratio of 1928 divorces per 1000 OF the
States population in one year. Oregon
was the State with a divorce ratio for
1927 most closely approaching that Of
Nevada and the figure was $50 per
1000 of population.
Nevada, likewise, had high record
for marriages, which set 1927 record
of 81 ceremonies per 1000 population,
the bureau said, was "due largely to
change in the marriage law of Califor-
MIA requiring three days notice before
the issuance of a marriage license"
Other States Listed.
Aside from that phenomenon in send
ing UP the Nevada marriage rate, the
palm for supremacy in the large num-
Der of marriages went to Mississippi,
which had in 1927 1876 marriages per
1000. Florida had a rate of 1876 and
Maryland, 14.7. while the lowest rates
were attained in Delaware, AZ, and in
wisconsin, So. The figures, the bureau
noted, are subject to correction after
reports.

Towns i'm Suburbs
Urged to Relieve
Gotham Congestion
Report Is Made After Five
Years of Intensive
Study.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December IA redis-
tribution of population, industry and
commerce is the only solution to the
growing congestion of the New York
City region in the opinion of the COM
mittee on regional plan Of New York
and its environS.
The report on five years intensive
study was made public yesterday by
Thomas Adams, general director Of
plans and surveys for the regional plan
The report suggests the creation of
complete, self-contained suburban towns
which will have not only residences, but
also industries to give employment to
the inhabitants, commerce, markets and
theaters to care for their ordinary
needs.
The adding of new traffic and transit
facilities never could adequately relieve
the congestion, they said.
The present suburban trend any way
from the crowded areas of New York is
taking place along the wrong lines, the
committee said, in that it is promoting
too much separation of homes and
places of work.

Marion County voters had before
them today lists of legislative candi-

League Endorsement.
The states were drawn up, said
John w. Esterline, the leagues
executive committee chairman, upon
recommendation of the ward Or
ganization. Republican league men,
bers selected the Republican ticket,
he said, and Democratic members
the Democratic slate.
The lists were advanced, Ester
line explained, because of the large
number of candidates. 1.-THE eX-
perience of the past has taught the
people that if they go to the polls
and vote Unfortunately for the
nearly one hundred candidates who
have offered themselves, those who
do not represent the best interests
of tn people would surely be nomi-
natd," he said.
There has, therefore, been an in
Sistent demand for some method of
concentrating the vote of the peo-
pie on preferred list of candidates
in each party.
There were more good candidates
than places and to include all of
them would mean the defeat of all.
We earnestly urge united support
of these candidates to the end that
the city manager statute may be
preserved"
