FEWER U.S. DIVORCES
HOME IS CHEAPER. The divorce rate in the United States, recently described as the high'est in the world, has been cut by 22 per cent, owing to the prevailing hard times. Judge Joseph Sahath, who in Chicago not long ago pronounced his 50,000th decree, attributes this decrease to the shortage of ready money. "As long as there was plenty of : cash for pleasure," he says, "hlisbands were inclined to grow dissatisfied with their wives, and wives with their husbands. Now they have more serious things to .consider, and many plea- J sure-loving couples are finding rea7 happiness for the first time by timi" j own firesides."
