IWenty-CWO OI the marriages were grounded after the principals had been wed less than year.
 26 Years
 The outstanding case was that in which a divorce was granted after the couple had resided together 26 years. They were married Septem- Der 6, 1904 and deSertion allegedly took place May l, 1930. Seven of the decrees were entered after the cou- ples had been married more than 20 years.
 More than half the divorces were granted before the principals had completed five years of welded life, thus showing that the first five years of marriage are the hardest, at least so far as last years of divorce courts were concerned. Fifty-Seven of the 109 divorces granted were in cases where the principals had been wed less than five years In general the remainders were married between 10 and r years before divorced

Crime Games
Result in
Tragedy
Teach Child Killing
Is Not a Lark or
Murder a Joke.
By ANGELO PATRI.

T DO not like to see children playing
with pistols and guns. These are
toys that make crime game for little
children. When a 3-year-old child
holds his little pistol against the chest
OF his playmates and snaps it, and his
friend falls dead" isn't he playing
crime? And would anybody in his
senses approve that idea?
I am realist enough to know that
we have to have guns and ammuni-
ton for the protection of society. But
that function belongs to men trained
for the service, and certainly not to
children. And men trained to pro-
tect society do not hold guns against
the bodies OF citizens and murder them
in cold blood. That is entirely the
method Of criminals, enemies Of So
ciety.
There is nothing funny, to me, in
murder or the thought Of murder. I'm
against games that make murder a
joke, even when grown people play
them. They are old enough to know
better. I am against any toy or any
game that lets children believe, for a
single minute Of their lives. that kill
ing is lark and murder a joke.
II you think this is taking toy too
seriously, must point to the murders
committed by young people scarce
ly out OF their teens, to children killed
by their playmates who handle guns
they did not understand, or which
they thought were not loaded. If these
children had been taught from baby
hood on that gun was an awful in
strument, that it dealt with death,
believe that youthful murderers
would be fewer than they are, and
that accidents to children would be
considerably fewer than they have
been recently.
Death is . fact Of life to be sure.
but it is q finality beyond which a
human being cannot look. 1t has i'm
plications that human being breads.
It is concerned with forces that none
Of us understands and before which an
of us must stand in awe and reverence.
To make a game of any such matter
is about as stupid mistake as We are
capable OF making
am not asking for law against
it. Laws are only the accepted opin-
ions Of the people. Before they can
work the people must have accepted
them and put them to work in their
daily practice. 1 am asking every
groWnup person who has to do with
children to ignore all games that
have killing for their interest point,
and guns for the practice of the game.
All that is necessary is to stop buying
them and the manufacturers will make
something else. They make them now
because people buy them.
What about teaching boys to use
guns? Certainly, If they need to know,
teach them. but teach them from the
beginning that the use of a gun is to
kill. Don't begin that teaching until
the boy is mature enough to under
stand what killing means, what it in
wolves Of destruction, tragedy, cruelty,
as well as protection, sportsmanship
and good fun

Dorothy Dix Says
Wife Wanting to Hold Husband
Must Be Quick Change Artist.

her what = dream she is in floating
chiffons.
Naturally. the girl thinks that he
has fallen in love with her because
she Is = glamour girl. and that all she
has to do to keep him kneeling at
her feet, holding her hand and max
ing love to her is just to 60 on being
glamorous.
Then, to her amazement and con-
sternation. she finds that the very
qualities he picked her out for are
just the qualities he doesn't want in
a wife. He blames her for not being
something else than what she is, which
is just as unreasonable as for man
to order omelette souffle in restaur-
ant and then be peeved because it
isn't roast beef. Most OF the men who
60 around weeping on our shoulders
because they are unhappily married
and disappointed in their wives have
only themselves to blame. The wives
are just exactly what they were when
their husbands chose them. Their
only fault Is that they we're not ma
gicians who could metamorphose them
selves into entirely different kinds OF
women after they ware married.
1t Is terribly discouraging, but 1t Is
true. that while a mans fancy before
marriage may run to the parlor orna-
ment sort Of woman. after marriage
he expects her to be = combined
kitchen utensil and savings bank and
entertainment committee. Hence the
bride who thinks she can hold her
husband by just being herself and
staying as she was when he married
her has another guess coming to her.
The wife who keeps her husband has
to be = lightning-change artist.
