Statistical Interlude

Statistics were invented for the busy man.
Like dehydrated food. they are the essence
Of bulky, space consuming matter, condensed
to point where they can be taken at one
gulp.
But statistics can also be an idle, fascinating
subject. Given the leisure and inclination. one
can drop these dehydrated pellets Of fact in
the liquid OF imagination and watch them
swell almost to their former substance
We have spent part Of the afternoon curled
up with coy table Of figures on marriage.
These were collected at the cost of some weary
leg work by Census Bureau employees who went
around to license bureaus in 81 cities Of 10o,-
900 population or more and found out how
business was.
Their findings boiled down to an unsupported
eutback in matrimony. Marriage, while un-
doubtedly here to stay, didn't flourish this
year. Like miniature golf, filling stations, the
Brooklyn Dodgers and roadside hamburger
stands, it felt the manpower and or material
shortages.
Through August of this year, as compared
with the first eight months of 1943, the mar.
rage license business was off 81, SOB or 81 per
cent, in these 81 cities. And in June, the month
OF brides, the drop was 14.1 per cent.
The point is, we think, that June was not
the month of grooms. You will recall that the
Army was approaching its required personnel
about then. And it's natural that weddings
and draft calls should ease off at the Same
time.
For in spite of the old folks head wageing
