This time it looks like Poffenber-

team left manager Bunny" Crit

by coincidence, or not, the team
started playing better ball (and the
pitching staff suddenly started 60

games) from the day the suspension
of Poffenberger was announced.

Deputy Sheriff A. r. Ward said

her clothing was otherwise disar-

She had been stabbed three

Declaring that the institution OF
the family, as we have known it in
the past, is in peril, and with It,
our civilization, DR.. Hornell Hart,
professor of sociology at Duke
University, told a gathering OF
parents, teachers, and students
last night that that peril is not
hopeless, if we apply the intelli-
gence of organization to human
courtship as we apply it to every
day economic problems. BY that,
he said, the family can be saved,
and America will move forward.
Dr.. Hart, introduced by E. R.
Blakeslee, principal of Wilmington
Catlett school, opened the second
annual Cooperative Community
Family Life institute last night in
the New Hanover High school audi
forum. The institute will continue
today with a parents symposium
held at the high school from 10
a. m. to 2 p. m.
Speaking on whittier Family
Life = Shock Absorber of Social
Change, DR.. Hart gave a gloomy
picture of the family life of today.
The divorce rate, now n out OF
every three marriages, has in
creased steadily and regularly and
is headed directly toward 100 per
cent. Times of prosperity, of war,
and at the end of economic depres-
sions bring a great surge Of di-
lvorces, he said.
MANY divorces r the tragic
endeavor of people to run away
from themselves"
The transfer of functions outside
the home means that family and
home life is shrinking and faces
the possibility Of extinction, he de-
clared. Citing by-gone days when
the family was almost the only
social institution, when all train
ing, protection, religion, health.
land discipline came from the fami'
ly, he stated that almost all these
functions have been taken out of
the home and transferred to out
side agencies.
He contrasted the life and work
of the frontier woman to the mod.
ern apartment dweller, whose
homework and family chores, he
said, take not over two hours g
day.
Speaking on the present low
birth rate, DR.. Hart said tina,
America as a whole is following
the example of France and Eng
land who reached their peak popu-
