In other words, it you live in this section your chances of getting married are be- | low the average but once you reach the matrimonial state your chances of staying there are better than the average. This i{s shown by an anal the recent report of the federal de- partment of commerce on marriage and divorce in the United States. In all New England there were 7.9 marriages and 0.94 divorces per 1,000 population in 1925 as compar- ed with 10.2 marriages and 1.52 di- vorces in the whole country. New Hampshire led the New Eng- land state in the marriage rate with 10.1 per 1,000 and Massachusetts stood at the bottom with 7.5. Maine had the biggest divorce rate, 1.58 per 1,000 and 0.78 While the marriage rate per 1,000 showed a slight decrease from 1924 and the divorce rate, a slight in- crease in the United States, both de- creased somewhat in New England. Incidentally the department’'s re- port shows that New England pro- bably has passed the eight million mark in population. It's estimates place the population of the six states at 7,895,313 in 1924 and 7,986,320 in 1925. The 1925 figures were compil- ed from the official state censuses of that year in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, department estimates on Maine, New Hampshire and Conecticut based on the rate of the 1320 federal census figures for growth between 1910 and 1920, and Vermont, where the population de- creased between 1910 and 1920.

Prof. ‘Jastrow., noted psychologlst from the University of Wisconsin, opened the symposium last night in |an address attacking the case for spiritualism as presented in a let- ter read from Sir Arthur, author and exponent of spiritualism. In answer. to the assertion of Doyle that “of those who have look- ed into it, the vast maj rity have ailable.” | Jastrow declared, “We may give up New Haven—Richard H.

It is either psychism or psychology, sclence or pseudo science we must choose. “Less than men working in fact not more than about 200 them in the world—are willing give credence to the contentions the spiritualists, the things that claim.” S8 science today— of to of the metapsychics psychic phenomena be safeguarded against such frauds so as to elimin- ate the danger of scandal. Doyle's Assertion. After discussing the results of material investigations of psychica phenomena including *“cctoplasm’ against which Jastrow had chara- terized a “Joke,” Doyle asserted the real heart of the subject was reli- glous. “The ultimate aim of the whole movement is to afford earnest minds in this age of doubt and stress some method of gaining knowledge of our duties and our destiny which shall be disassociated from outworn ob- servances and conflicting faiths, so that by actual contact with intelli- gences which are now above own may pick our path more casily amid the morass of religion. he ultimate result will be the ' of seience and religion, and ich an increase of inspired knowl- edge as will 1ift hum higher p send it reassurcd and con d upon its further jour- vey into the unknown.” we of onto a DIREGTORS TACHLE CENTENNIAL DEBT Sesoui Formally Ends But Qut- one per cent of the | -in | or to believe any of | Spiritualism is absurd and unten- able from any standpoint of logic, unsubstantiated by scientific tests, and a delusion toward “the slums of best arrives nowhere.” The battle today, “is the battle of white science, that fis | the mind at its worst.' 'and, “at its | | but ofr legitimate | sclence, against black sclence other- | se known as fake science.” Laughs At Doyle. Turning to Conan Doyle, Dr. Jas- | ed for closing da trow declared, “he is mainly of in- | terest as an instance of credulity which is strange only because he a sclentist and tective storles in which he was wise cnough to employ simple human motives and material evidence. Both these elements are lacking in his views on spiritualism.” The British author in presenting |started so that the his side of the case admitted that one cause for weakness in spiritual- ism was that many of its supporters | were uneducated and that “a retinue of rogues has heen attracted to the standing Bills Remain Philadelphia, 30 (P —Cel bration of the 150th birthday anni- versary of the nation ends officially today.
