ST. LOUIS, Mo? Dec. 12.?The divorce
courts, as busy as they are, reveal
but a small proportion of the martial
Infelicity in this country, says
j the Commission of'Famtly Lite which
l reported last week to the quadi
rennial meeting of the Federal council
j of the Churches of C'.rist in Amer!
ica. The report included statistics
! and discussions of many phases of the
! complex problems of martial relations.
As to divorce it says: "At this moment
it is thought that ons marriage
I in ten is broken by divorce, and that
in some states the proortion may be
as high as one in four."
"It is a striking fact." the comraisj
sion says, "that in the majority of dll
vorce cases dissolution ow marriage
i has occurred, not hastily after a brief
i trial, but deliberately after a consid|
viable period of marriage; the average
exceeding six and one-half years. Com- j
mon observation will show frequency
of divorce among people who have
been married twenty years or more."
The commission believes that the
entrance of women into the industrial!
field plays an important part in the
1 increase of divorces. It deplores the
i fact that "unfortunately, the larger
! part of humanity in America, as elsc!
where, are strangers to the lofty views
j which the church entertains of mar;
riage.

mate and most effective method will
lie found In such instruction as the
churches may give to their adherents,
supplemented by such work as the educational
institutions of the country
may be induced to undertake. Tills
instruction will bear upon the ideals |
for marriage. It will teach that marriage
is not contracted as a mere con- j
venience and 'for prudential reasons,
that it is not even primarily intended
solely for the personal happiness of
thoso who contract it; but ij Is hulls- :
per ;ble to the proper filling out of!
life of human beings, that it is one
of the most effective methods of de-1
veloping character, and that the pre- j
servntion of the integrity of marriage
and of the family institution as j
a whole is the only process by which
a truly divine order for society can be
maintained."
"No legislation however, sagaciouslyframed,
can ever effect a complete
cure of marriage maladjustments, but
such preventive measures as give
promise to diminishing the evils which
are now so abundant will command
themselves to thoughtful persons. The
fact that in twenty-three states what
are known as "common law marri
ages, ill which a man anu a wuuiau
take each other for husband and wife
without the services of a civil officer.
or a clergyman and frequently without
any witnesses are recognized as
valid, calls for serious condemnation,
and no reform is more needed than legislation
declaring such unions to be
null and void everywhere in the United
States."

PRINCETON, W. Va? Dec. 12.?In
a suit for $5,000 damages resulting
from a controversy over a nickel a
jury in the Circuit Court here awarded
the plaintiff $51 damages in the
case of Mrs. E. M. Hogan versus J. L.
Forkner. At an auction sale conducted
by Forkner, who is a merchant, a
set of dishes was knocked down to
Mrs. Hogan for 10 cents, but in making
change for a quarter, the plaintiff
charged, the defendant gave her back
only 10 cents. When she complained,
according to the evidence. Forkner
called her a liar, and the suit resulted.
