DIVORCES GAIN WARRIAGES OFF Gonnecticut Following Treod of U. 5., Statistics Show Washington, Dec. 17 — The De- partment of Commerce announces that according to the returns re- ceived, there were 1,200.694 mar- riages performed in the United States during the year 1927, as com- pared with 1,202,574 in 1926. Those tigures represent a decrease of 1,580 marriages, or about one-fifth of one per cent. During the year 1927 there were 1 137 divorces granted in the United States. as compared Wwith 180,853 in 1926, representing an in- crease of 11,184, or 6.2 per cent. There were 4,252 marriages annull- 927, as compared with 3,825 1o estomated population of con- ental United States on July 1, , was 118,628,000, and on July 1, ., 117,136,000. On the basis of those estimates the number of mar- yer 1,000 of the population was 10.12 in 1927, as against 10.27 in 1926, and the number of divorces per 1,000 of the population was 1.62 in 7, as against 1.54 in 1926, While the net decrease in the nuniber of marriages performed in ne country as a whole was (.2 per cent, the relative change in the dif. ferent states ranged from a decreas of 25.4 per cent in Florida to an i crease of 95.8 per cent in Nevada. (This increase in Nevada, as well as the increase in Arizona, is due large- Iy to a change in the marriage law of California requiring three days to be given before the fssu- of @ license, w W became ve July 29, 1927, of marriages per of ypopulation, which repre: average of rates in the indivi states, ranged from 4.7 in Delaware and 5.8 in Wisconsin to 16.6 in Mis- sissippi and 31.0 in Nevada. In gen- eral, the changes in the number of marriages per 1,000 of the popula- tion, form a more satisfactory index of the trend with regard to marriaj in the seceral states than do th actual number of marriages because they take account of differences in the rate of increase in the general population. The changes in the various states as regards the number of divorces compared with the year 1925, ranged from decreases of 35.3 per cent in Vermont and 19.3 per cent in Dela- ware to increases of 51.1 per cent in the District of Columbia and 91.3 per cent in Nevada. (Changes in the laws governing divorces, effective in 1927, are re- sponsible for the figures shown b Vermont and Neval In the case of the former, divorces do not be- come final for six months after the granting of the decree; in the latter, the residence requirement has been modified from 6 to 3 months. The increase reported by the District of Columbia is due directly to the num- ber of cases held over from 1926 when strongly contested patent case occupietd the time of one of the courts to the exclusion of divorce cuses.) The ratio of divorees per 1.600 of the population n the individual states in 1927 ranged from 0.27 in the District of Columbia and 0.44 in New York to 0 in Oregon and 23 in Nevada, The tables which follow on pages 2 and 3 give the number of mar- elages and divorces for each state for both 1927 and 1926, with the percentages of increase or decrease end the number per 1,000 of the population for the two years, as well as the number of marriages annulled during the same period. The figures for 1927 are preliminary and subpect to correction.

The flight is intended both to put |t {the modern ‘airplane engine to the acid test of endurance and to dete ne lon the human system i To Refuel Ship “There will be but one ofjective after the plane takes off at Los| Angeles,” said Maj. Gen. James L. | ¢ | Fechet, air corps chief, “and that is | {to refuel it when fuel is needed, and |to keep the ship in the air until the motors cease to hum.” { | The Question Mark, leaving Boll- | ing field here today in company | with one of the refucling planes, will !go to Rockwell Field, Los Angeles, | by way of Middletown, Dayton, Scott | Field and Oklahoma City. Authori- | zation for the test was granted after a successful series conducted over | Bolling field here yesterday by these | ¢ two planes. A third plane will be arranged for at San Diego, Imaking two refueling planes. No objective has been set with irespect to the length of time the plane will remain in the air. The problematical feature of the mis- sion is best indicated, officials stated, in the naming of the ship. “While it will be interesting to {learn how long airplane motors will |continue to run under actual flying {conditions and without a landing being made,” said Gen. Techet, “our primary concern is to deter- mine the practicability of rcfucling hile in the air.” | Two officers will be on duty in the {pllot compartment of the Question Mark as long as the flight lasts, In- asmuch as Major Spatz will attend [to the trauster of supplies and Cap- italn Eaker will be at the wheel dur- | st ing the contact period—of which | A |three to six a day—these {wo office |will pilot the ship during the day- time while Lieutenants Halverson land Quesada will be at the controls | |at night. | Arrives In Washington : The Question Mark and refucling Plane No. 1 arrived here yesterday from the air corps depot at Middle- ltown, Pa., where during the last sc leral weeks they have been unde golng equipment with special ap- | ( paratus. The refucling plane has | two 150 gallon gas tanks and one 40 | gallon oil tank to which is fastened a 50 foot hose, 214 inches diameter. A similar hose is attached | to the oil tank.

Every time this happens she’s 'got fo go down- stairs—if there isn’t an extension telephone upstairs—and afterwards, she probably has to go right up again, Or, just as she’s making some fancy dessert for your dinner, the telephone rings—and it's probably 'way off in the living room.
