 Desserts

Connecticut housewives will do well to take advantage Of the apples that were blown from the trees by the hurricane Of last week and use them in the many different ways that are available says Howard A. Rollins, fruit specialist Of the Agfis cultural Extension Service at the University of of Connecticut. The Mcintosh apples were ripe aiid ready to pick ct the time Of the storm, and are of excellent quality except for bruistng.
 Mrs. Marion Evans Dakin, nitFis tlonist Of the Extension Service, suggests that housewives can the apples as apple satce, either stFaiiis ed or in chunks, make them into apple butter or apple Jelly, or make them into desserts such as pie, cob" bier, apple betty, dumplings, turn. overs, or ToiypOlyg. The variety Of uses, sch adds, is sufficient to pro- vide an apple dish every day.

 The statistics are especially pug 9llng in view of the extreme jump in the number of divorce petitions filed during the past few months. For the month of September, alone, co divorce complaints were return cd, and entries already made so far ln the current court year to nearly 500.
 Court observers point out that the divorce filing comes in cycles, with veryo busy periods noted at times and @ lack of petitions ct others. It is believed the present war condi- tions are directly responsible for the institution of the majority of the actions which were entered on the court docket in recent months.
 With the large entry of actions so far in the court year, and the com. paratively small number of decreeS granted during the past court year, observers predict that there will be an unusually high increase in di- vorces during the coming year. The current court year, which started July 1, is only in its third month.
 Many of the actions which were ready for hearings last winter and spring have not yet been disposed

of, and these added to the new di- vorce suits are expected to give the court large amount of divorce bus- iness in the next few months.
 During the last court year, which began July 1, 1o43 and ended June 90, 1044, divorces were given to % mer and 70 women. The charge of cruelty was again the leading one, 5l petitioners obtaining decrees on that claim. Tn the year ending June 30, 1e4S, o0 decrees were given on the charge of intolerable cruelty.
 The breakdown on the causes of divorce during the last court year Is as follows: cruelty, 10 men and 4i women; desertion, 14 men and 2i women; intemperance, eight wo. men; criminal conviction, one man and two women; misconduct, one man and one woman; cruelty and intemperance, two men and three women.
 A total of 127 children were in. volved in the actions, as compared to 2l3 the previous year.
 Two divorce suits were dismlssde last year, and one divorce which was granted was later revoked when further evidence was discovered by the jurist.
 The abundance of new divorce actions Is believed to be c direct ef- feet of the current high salaries and the favorable financial condition of the petitioners. The independence secured by women because of war jobs is accredited as c deciding fac. tor in institution of the divorce M- tigation.

BEARS TAKE SECOND GAME FROM StEkA
GremIins Win from Bank ! ers-DougIds to Play
 Sifka Tonight

After a whirlwind start that net ted them two free losses before the home team scored, Sitka High School cagers lost the initiative and dropped another game to the Ju- neau High School basketeers in the gym last night by a score of A to 9. Neither team was able to make their shots count, although there were some spectacular plays made. Nordling, Juneau center, was the steadiest of the bunch, and played a fine game, and the Sitka team was led by Wagner as on the pre- vious match Saturday night
 The preliminary between the Gremlins and the Bankers was one of the most fantastic struggles yet seen in the Juneau gym. It was a comedy of errors from beginning to end, with frequent pileups, passes to opponents, and for a while look ed like game of give-away. Sev- eral minor injuries were suffered, including an ankle injury when Specht was catapulted against a bench on the sidelines. Powers garnered 12 points for the Bankers and Rieschel made 13 for the Grem- lins, including one fancy shot over his head. The game went to the Gremlins 29 to 21.
 Pomorski acted as referee for the preliminary, and Kitty and Powers for the game between Sitka and Juneau. These officials have done an excellent job of refereeing.
 Following are the box scores:
