DIVORCE COURTS IN CANADA DO NOTHING Arcadian Fgmiliw Loyal “Till Death Do Us Part” Tradition Ottawa, Ont., July 31—Marriages in Canada are successful, and, families still are loyal to the “till death do us part” tradition. Divorces granted in the Dominion numbered only 544 in 1922, or two-thirds of one per cent of all the marriages contracted, accord- ing to a report just complled by the Dominion bureau of statistics. Based on population, the report shows, divorces numbered seven to every 100,000 persons. Divorces in the United States, according to offi- clal figures for the last year on rec- ord, numbered 112 to every 100,000 people, “The 1922 figures,” says the re- port, “probably indicate that the wave of divorce due to the war has reach- ed its highest point and is now on the decline, Total decrees granted last year showed a reduction of four compared with 1921, The remarkably low per cent of divorces shows the ctability of Canadian homes and in- stitutions.” Of the total divorces granted, hus- bands received 316, or about 60 per cent and wives 228, or about 40 per cent. British Columbia led in de- crees issued, with 138, followed by Al- berta with 129 and Manitoba with 97. One province, Prince Edward Is- land granted no. divorces. Only one divorce has been granted in this pro- vince sinee 1868, and that was in 1922. ed were residents of cities. Compara- tively few applications were made among the agricultural population.
