During the court year ending June, l04i, lO4 divorces were grant, ed. The previous year l62 were reg istered, and in the court year end- ing June, l942, a total of l89 were listed.
 Observers believe the total for the last three months establishes a new high record for a single term in the local court. Indications are that the final count for the current court year may set record likewise, in view of the developments during the past few months
 The cause of the large number of hearings in the fall is attributed in part to the extensive filing of cases for the September return day. With a three-month waiting period re- quired, all of the September cases were ready in December and many of them came up for assignment then. The December divorce docket was the heaviest of the three months.
 War conditions are ascribed as a main factor in divorce filing. Too much money" is the cry repeatedly heard at divorce hearings, with working women said to cherish their independence and many of them less anxious to preserve their home life.
 Scores of the divorce actions heard last month involved young couples married since the outbreak of the war, with many of the hus- bands in military service. That fact calls attention to claims of numer- ous sociologists and psychologists who state many war marriages will not last and who predict the divorce rate in the country will increase soon to one divorce in each four or five marriages.
