One Divorce to 7.6 Marriages in 1922

WASHINGTON.— The census bureau discloses that there was one divorce to 7.6 mar riages in the United States In 1922, as shown by the first marriage and divorce survey since 1916, when the record was one divorce in 9.3 marriages. Illinois ranked second in the number of divorces for 1922, the record for the state being 10,995 divorces to 75,208 marriages. Texas had the largest number of divorces, 12.399. Illinois’ proportionate record, however, was 1 divorce to 6.8 marriages, a number of states having a higher record of divorce. » The District of Columbia had the lowest record, 1 divorce to 35.8 marriages. The total number of marriages was 1.126,418, while divorces totalled 148.554. In 1916 the record was 1.040,684 marriages and 112,036 divorces. In Nevada divorces exceeded the marriages, 1,026 to 935, this being due, of course, to • the divorce colony at Reno. Statistics for the Mid-Western states for 1922 were as follows:

Open Shop Claims Uncle Sam as Ally

Advocates of the open shop in Industry claim an ally in the United States railroad labor board, as the result of a recent decision. “A railway employee’s membership or nonmembership in an organisation should not be matter of compulsion,” the labor board ruled in sustaining a complaint of the Switchmen’s Union of North America against a contract of the San Antonio A Aransas Pass Railway company with the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, guaranteeing that 85 per cent of the carrier’s yard employees be members of the brotherhood. The board thus declared this stipulation void. An anomaly of the case is that, because the switchmen’s union is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. It leaves the federation on record as opposed to the closed shop. The dispute followed dismissal of C. A. Brown, San Antonio A Aransas Pass railway switchman, through operation of the percentage provision of the carrier’s contract with the trainmen's brotherhood. The board directed that he be reinstated, with seniority rights unimpaired, and that he be paid for time Jost, “less any

Dawes Calls Branch Banking a Menace

THAT branch banking Is developing to such a point as to become a menace was asserted by Comptroller of the Currency Henry M. Dawes of Chicago before the joint congressional committee which is investigating phases of the federal reserve system. Mr. Dawes announced that he had just received an opinion from Attorney General Daugherty to the effect that national banks could not engage in general branch banking. The effect of the attorney general’s opinion la to restrict the activities of national bank branches in a few localities where broader operations have been sanctioned during the last few months by the office of the comptroller of the currency. Mr. Dawes’ position relative to the menace of branch banking is in conflict with that of some of the members of the federal reserve board, who have indicated they would favor legislation extending the branch banking privilege.

amount he may have earned while engaged in other employment.” A point brought out in the evidence of the case, which the board emphasizes in Its decision, was that the Switchmen's Union of North America "negotiated the first percentage agreement ever executed, but that organization has renounced the practice and become the victim of it.” “That the rule In question is discriminatory and unfair is beyond controversy,” reads an excerpt from the labor board's decision. "A railway employee’s membership or nonmembership in an organization should not be a matter of compulsion. "He should not be coerced either by the labor organization or by the carrier In the eiercise of his right to join an organization or to make a choice between two rival organizations. Anybody interested In the organization affiliations of an employee can find abundant methods of a legitimate nature to bring to bear upon him. “It must be remembered that railway employees have not advocated the closed shop, and this -principle has not been recognized elsewhere in the railway service."

Besides discussing branch banking. Mr. Dawes took issue with the proposal supported by the American Banking association for the abolition of the office of comptroller of the currency and the transfer of its functions to the federal reserve board. General conclusions presented by Mr. Dawes were summarized by him aa follows: First, that the development of branch banking, unless curbed, will mean the destruction of the federal reserve system and the substitution of a privately controlled reserve system for a governmental system of coordination. Second, that if the federal reserve board has not the power to refuse the admission of institutions engaged in general branch banking, and to curb the further extension of this principle by member banks, it should be given the power. Third, that the abolition of the office of comptroller of the currency would destroy the independent status of the national banking system tn governmental finance.

How a Single Industry Spreads Prosperity A most significant fact about an industry is the large number of people who benefit from it Take the cement industry, as an example: The mills used 9,000,000 tons of coal last year. This meant 9,000 coal miners steadily employed—their families, num- ~ Bering not less than 25,000, maintained —and along with them other people enough to supply the needs of a town of over 50,000. That is, of course, saying nothing of the business created for coal operators and transportation lines. Sacks are not so large an item in the cement industry as coal, yet 50,000,000 new sacks, representing 50,000 bales of cotton, had to be bought last year for replacements alone. Back of this were cotton planters, plantation workers, mill owners, mill operatives and so on —thousands altogether. And consider these other requirements of the industry last year: 3,700,000 barrels of fuel oil 3,400,000,000 cubic feet of gas--15,000,000 pounds of explosives 32,000,000 pounds of greases and oils 1,700,000 linear feet of belting 4,500,000 firebrick for relining kilns 7,000,000 pounds of paper for bags 600,000 tons of gypsum In addition the industry bought quantities of heavy grinding and burning machinery, locomotives, cars, rails, electrical and other necessary equipment. In this way a single industry spreads prosperity to many others.

OHIO'S SANDSTONE QUARRIES Vast Quantities of Whetstones and Grindstones Taken From Pit South of Lake Erie. The world’s largest sandstone quarries are located in Ohio, a few- miles to the south of Lake Erie, in the vicinity of the towns of North Amherst and Berea. From these quarries come also vast quantities of our whetstones and grindstones, and there is very much that is of interest with respect to the industry. One of the quarries has been mined to a depth of 165 feet in places and the distance around it is a mile and a half. Looking into this pit from one edge, one is reminded of the ruins of the Colosseum, for the walls are cut in shallow terraces, which are not unlike the seats of the open-air theater of the ancients. v In cutting a block of sandstone wedges are driven in sidewise at the base of the block, while steam drills bore holes from the top to meet the openings made by the wedges. A machine called a channeler then cuts the block away. Method will teach you to win time.

All Angora Cats Alike. i It was a valuable Angora cat, bat Its owner was governed as much oy humane Instincts as appreciation of its value when'she took it to a boarding place when preparing to start on a European trip. Though friends offered to take care of it she felt that her pet would have even better care in a regular cat home. It was therefore with considerable surprise and Indignation, a day or so after she placed it in the boarding place, that she ran across her cat roaming the streets. Swiftly she picked it up and descendt * on the boarding house. For five minutes she gave vent to her wrath.
