DIVORCE RATIO
NOT INCREASING,
\ JUDGE ASSERTS
Proportion to Population
B Constant Enough to
h Cause No Alarm.

CHICAGO, June 22.-Alarm over
the divorce situation in America is
unnecessary, since divorce has in
creased very little more in percent
age than has population.
So says Judge Joseph SABBATH,
who has heard more than $1,000
divorce petitions while serving in
the Cook County courts.
"We are always seeing figures
about the huge increase of divorce, "
Judge SABBATH said, "but while in
the last fifteen years there has been
some increase over the growth in
population, it has not been enough
to be alarming. Even in the old days,
when conventionality barely coun-
tenanced divorce, marriage was not
much less than a 10 to 100 shot.
Hits Trial Marriages
''Today Government figures show
that fifteen out of 100 marriages
fail Considering the increase in
population, that isn't such bad
record.
1--WE have innumerable reasons
for this increase, too. For many
years after any war certain condi-
tons exist that do not last
even one generation. I guess a lot
of people will say there goes the
same old alibi about the war, but
it is the truth and has much to do
with present-day marital conditions.
81 smile at the very term COM
panionate marriage Why should
the most sacred venture in the life
of any man or woman be placed
on the same terms with buying
an article on approval with the
privilege of sending it back If you
don't like it.
"Why, It is such talk as that
that is helping to increase di-
vorce. In placing the blame for
the increase in divorce I would
give such publicity first place. II.
the second place is the craving for
pleasure, both in cid and young,
and lack of home life.
Idle Women Blamed
"It is the increase in the divorces
of the older people, married twenty
years or more, that is the saddest
phase of the question today Night
life and sudden riches are to take
the blame there.
1.-THE third place goes to the idle
woman. Her class has increased tre-
mendouSly in the last few years.
I blame the men as much as the
women for this because any man
who marries a woman should start
out with a home where the wife
has at least a few duties.
"He should demand more than a
delicatessen supper and he should
have some understanding that chill
dren will be expected fairly soon
after marriage"

love. How could she hold these when
he knew she had been secretly
meeting a man who had the power
to make money for her and when
she showed no reluctance to be
parted from him for two months?
Nathaniel stood staring at her,
his mind temporarily dazed by the
rapidity with which the situation
had changed. He, the accuser, had
become the accused.
"Why didn't you tell me?" he
asked helplessly.
Virginia shrugged a shoulder. She
was still fighting along the lines
she had first laid down for her
campaign, but her heart was sick.
Because you would have been
jealous" she replied bluntly.
Nathaniel flushed, though he was
glad Of something he could combat.
Now she had struck a blow, too,
and he did not feel quite such a
villain.
Granted" he said quickly; 'but
does that justify you? I always

ly walked off the stretch of rug be-
tween his desk and the door.
His coat would never hang the
same again as a result OF the force
with which he kept thrusting his
clenched hands into the pockets
each time after taking them out to
pick up the letter and read it over.
He was torn on the wheel OF
doubt and jealousy, blindly hurt.
Chris words of the night before
came back: "She won't stick, Mel;
she's got money in her system"
And Virginia was proving it. Like
bird of passage she was following
the sun to the warm south.
She had done it she was the
daughter of rich farmer. Why not
when it was offered her as pleas
ant occupation?
Hell, that doesn't prove any
thing" Nathaniel told himself. eff
it did there'd be a lot of sap hus-
bands in the north every winter"
The letter on his desk proved
something, though. 1t proved that
Frederick Dean was the vilest
scoundrel alive or it proved
that Virginia was cheat.
"a rotten little cheat" Nathaniel
swore, and was sorry the next in
slant.
He'd got to see her, though. God,
he'd die if he had to live with this
doubt all day!
He looked at his watch. He had
been looking at it every other min
ute since it had told him he could
not reach Virginia before she left
her hotel.
Five minutes Of nine! A girl with
money lust wouldn't be early to
work, he thought contemptuously.
His suspicion was uppermost at this
moment.
He wasn't fool-everything had
gone to prove Dean was right. Oh,
yes, he could see now that she had
offered some damned thin excuses
on the nights she had wanted to
get rid of him. Get rid of him to
sneak off to Cutter-the wealthy
young broker,
Laughter rasped in Nathaniel's
throat. The laugh of self that makes
no sound except to the ears of the
soul.
Strange that he could speak so
naturally when the switchboard
operator at the Blue Capella an
swered.
Stranger still that he could speak
calmly to Virginia when he heard
her lovely voice.
"Can you leave the Office and
come up to the studio?" he asked.
"Why, Mel, what's the matter?"
"Can you come? I must see
you"
Virginia hesitated. At. Il was

remembering that he did not know
about her visit to Oliver. Wont

BEASTS GROW FASTEST
Farm Animals in Day Equal Mans
Development in Year.

KANSAS CITY, June 22.-Dr.
Samuel Brody of the Missouri Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station has
found that young farm animal
grows much faster than a young
human.
A child, according to Brody, grows
but 10 per cent year between the
ages of 4 and IA. A young ami
NAL, such as a rabbit, calf or
guinea pig, grows 1000 per cent in
a year or in one day grows as much
as human in one year.

Thinks Radio Board Erred
in Allowing 1t Band.

Chairman Ira E. Robinson's differ

vision and visual transmission.
The chairman challenges the dis

in permitting any visual broadcasting
upon the broadcast band during daylight

claring that "the best engineers say
that the time has not yet arrived for

has been filed with the general order

ords.
Scores Manufacturers.
The "forwardness" of the manufac-
turers also is scored by the Judge. "One
induced by the order of the commission
to buy television receiving set Is like
ly to be so disappointed that he will
not only damn the commission but at
the same time junk his new tangled
contrivance for which he has paid the
advertised price," the opinion states
The visual broadcasting order, ac-
cording to their commissioners, is de-
signed only to encourage the infant
television art, and in no sense means
that television shall remain on the
broadcasting band after January /,
should it create undue interference
with aural broadcasting or otherwise
conflict with good, ordinary reception
The order reads that visual broadcast

designed to prevent interference with
reception from broadcasting stations"

than one hour per day at time of the
