Professor De- clares Practice Should Be Made Legal. | By the Associated Press | CHICAGO, June 27.—Divorce by mutual consent has been practiced in the United States since at least 1827, despite laws to the contrary, and should be legalized because most people are in favor of it, the American Associ- | ation for the Advancement of Science was told today. About seven-eighths of the divorces obtained in the United States since 1887 have been uncontested cases, “indicat- ing, undoubtedly in a majority of these cases, that they were obtained through the mutual consent of the parties in- volved,” said Charles R. Metzger of the University of Indiana. “The feeling prevails.” he went on, “that the time has come when divorce by mutual consent should be considered dispassionately with the idea of modify- | ing laws to conform with the custcms of the people.” He spoke before a s posium on “The Family,” sponsored by the American Sociological Society and the Society for Social Research Divorce by mutual consent would facilitate termaination of the marriage contract for people who cannot be reconciled, Prof Metzger said, and would do away with much of the stigma that now attaches to divorced persons It would help them maintain a friendly spirit which would be beneficial in case children were involved Court prccedure would be si fied and legal costs rzduced. He urged that a delay of six months be required tween filing and granting of app tions for divorce by mutual consent to give the parties involved time for reconciliation if possible legalizing of such divorces would “end much subterfuge and perjury which is now prevalent in every divorce court in the United States,” Prof. Metz- ger asserted. Divorces have increased steadi ' spite the fact that civorce laws have | become increasingly stringent since the Civil War, he said. Divorce by mutual | consent does not advocate a more easy divorce. but *“ a more honest and decent .| procedure.” It would not interfere with contested divorces under present statu- wry grounds and has nothing to dc with “companionate” or “trial” mar- riages. Prof. Metzger declared “approximately half of the adult population © United States does not feel the restrain- ing influence of religion” with regard to divorce and there is “a more tolerant, liberal attitude toward divorce in most religious denominations. “Higher ideals of marital happiness the Deodorant applied like a lipstick Endoried by Good Housekeeping If you want pusitive and lasting protection against odor, zflm stik.
