DIVORCE RATE CONTINUES TO SOARJN U. S. Desertion and Cruelty Lead in Causes for Broken Homes. BY CECIL OWEN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, May 21.—Complete marriage and divorce statistics for 1926, just compiled by the Census Bureau, show a further increase in the mounting divorce rate for the United States. Though total marriages and divorces reached new high levels in 1926, the divorce rate increased. The marriage rate continued the decline from its peak of 1920 when nearly twelve marriages were performed for every 1,000 of population. Divorces Increase Fast Divorces increased “for more than a quarter of a century prior to 1926 at a rate far greater than the growth of the population.” In 1926, the rate was 1.54 divorces for every 1,000 of population, or flfteen divorces for every 1,000 marriages. There were ten marriages to every 1,000 persons or thirty-seven to every 1,000 unmarried persons fifteen years or more of age.” Marriages, in 1926, totalled 1,202,574, and divorces, 180,853. For the country as a whole, 14,200 more marriages were performed in 1926 than 1925, and 5,404 more divorces New York State had the lowest, divorce rate, 0.41, and Nevada had the highest, 13.19. Cruely Leading Cause More divorces are granted on grounds of cruelty and desertion than for any other reasons. Over seven-tenths of all 1926 divorces were for those two causes. Desertion was the most frequent cause of divorces granted husbands, while more wives obtained their decrees because of cruelty. Seventy per cent of all divorces are granted to wives. The proportion of divorces granted for drunkenness, which drop from 3.4 per cent in 1916 to 1 per cent in 1922, increased to 1.5 in 1926. In that year, 8,171 divorces were granted couples who had been married less than one year, an increase of 308 from 1925. The figures indicate a growing tendency toward shorter marriages. ZEPPELIN FOR ENGLAND British to Buy Giant Dirigible for Transh-Atlantic Travel By United Press LONDON, May 21.—A Zeppelin soon may sail over London for the first time since the air raids of World War days. British and German air authorities have started negotiations for anew type of German passenger dirigible which now is being completed at the Zeppelin works at Friederickshai'en. It is known as the LZ-127 and is built for trans-oceanic flights. Motorists Offer Alibis By United Press BRAZIL, lnd., May 21.—Local police are having a hard time trying to convince out-of-town motorists that they must not run through stop signs. Several motorists have been arrested recently for running through the “red” and most of their alibis are that they can not see the signs, because the lights hang above sidewalls instead of at street centers.
