LIFE IN AMERICA.
MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE. DISTURBING STATISTICS. WASHINGTON, Sunday. Complete marriage and divorce statistics just compiled for 1926 by the Census Bureau show that while marriages have fallen off in recent years from the high point reached' in 1920, divorces have increased “for more than a quarter of a century prior to 1926 at a rate far greater than the growth of population.” Marriages still lead the divorces, but the rate of divorces is steadily increasing, while the marriage rate continues to lessen slightly.—Australian and N.Z. Press Assn.
