Commerce Dept. Figures Indicate Fewer Marriages, More Divorces In Connecticut During Last Year State’s Record, However, Is Much Better Than Tha_t of - Country — 9.1 Marriages to Every Di- vorce. | Washington, D. C., Nov. 1.—The department of commerce announ that, according to the returns r ceived, there were 1,182,487 mar- riages performed in the United States during the year 1928, as com- pared with 1,201,053 in 1927, These figures represent a decrease of 18,- 556 marriages, or 1.5 per cent. During the year 1925, there were 195,939 divorces granted in the United ' States, as compared with 192,037 in 1927, representing an in- crease of 3,502 or 2 per cent. There were 4,226 marriages annulled in 1923, as compared with 4,255 in 1927. The estimated population of con- tinental United States on July 1, 1928, was 120,013,000, and on July 1, 1927, 116,623,090, On the basis of these estimates, the number of mar- riages per 1,000 of the population was .35 in 1928, as against 10.12 in 1927; and the number of divorces per 1,000 of the population was 1.63 in 1928, as against 1.62 in 1927. Many Nevada Marriages While the net decrease in th num- ber of marriages performed in the country as a whole was 1.5 per cent, the relative change in the different states ranged from a decrease of 15 per cent in Florida fo ai increase of | per cent in Nevada. (This in- crease in Nevada, as well as the in- crease in Arizona, is due largely to a change in the California requiring 3 days notice to be given before the issuance of a license, which law became cffective July 29, 1927.) The rate of marriages per 1,000 of the population, which represents an ‘average of rates in the individual states, ranged from 4.73 in Delaware and 5.4 in Wisconsin, Mississippi and 53.8 in Nevada. Tn general, the changes in the number | of marriages per 1,00 of the popu- lation, as shown in the table on page 2, form a more satisfactory in- dex of the trend with regard to mar- riage in the several the actual number of marriages, be cause they take account of differ ences in the rate of increase in the general population. Ratio of Divorces Because of numerous requests for | this information, the relative num- ber of marriages to each divorce has been computed. In 1928, for the United States as a whole, six mar- riages for each divorce were re- ported, as against 6.25 in 1927. The District of Columbia and New York | state, each having but one cause for | absolute divorce, reported 52.5 and | 21.6, respectively, while the rates in the other states ranged from 14 mar- marriage law of | to 16.9 in | states than do | riages to each divorce in Georgia to | 1.6 marriages to each divorce in] | Nevada. | | The changes in the various states | as regards the number of divorces | | compared with the year 1927, ranged | 30.8 per cent in | Columbia and 12.3 | from decreases of the District of | per cent in Florida to increases o |52.9 per cent in Nevada and 54.1 per | cent in Vermont. | The ratio of divorces per 1,000 of | | the population In the individual | states in 1928 ranged from 0.16 in the District of (‘ol\ul'llvm and 0.46 in New York, to 3.38 in Oregon and | 33.52 in Nevada. | l Connecticut Marriages | | In Connecticut there were 11,650 marriages in 1928 as compared with | 12,063 in 1927, a decrease of 3.4 per | cent. Every other New England | state except Vermont showed similar | | decreases, Rhode Islahd marriages | falling off 6.4 per cent. ITn Vermont | there was an increase of 8.4 per cent. | The Connecticut drop was greater | than the 1.5 per cent fall in the na- tional totai. ‘ Whereas in 1927 there were T4 | | marriages to every 1,000 people in | | Connecticut, in 1928 this figure had [ dropped slightly to 7. Only Massa- | chusetts had a lower figure than this, |and the Bay State was only per | cent under Connecticut. New Hamp- shire was the New England state | | with the greatest perecentage of | | marriages, the ratio there being 10.7. | | Connecticut showed 9.1 marriages | |tp every divorce, a better record | than any other New England state | could muster and well above the | 6-to-1 ratio of the United States as | a whole. The Districl of Columbia | had the highest ratio, and New York had 21.6. South Carolina, how- | ever, had an infinite number of mar- | riages to a divorce, for divorce | forbidden by the laws of that state. | Connecticut Divorces | Whereas divorces in the United States showed an increase of ? per cent during 1928, in Connecticut they fell off by 10.5 per cent, the third best record in the Union. There were } 1,425 divorces in the state in 1927 | and 1,276 in 1928, These figures gave | a ratio of 0. divorces per 1,000 population in 1927 and 0.77 last year. The national figure was 1.63 in addi- tion there were 26 annulments in the | former year and 227in 1928. Other New Fmngland states showed startling variations in divorce | figures. While Maine remained about | the same Rhode Island owed rease, Massachu- | | setts and New Hampshire rather sizeable incre: and Vermont, | thanks to a new law, a tremendous 54.1 per cent increase, the largest in the country. | Connecticut's 0.77 per 1,000 popu- lation was also creditable, being well | under the average. Of course, Nevada ran high with a 3 ratio, due to | the Reno divorce mill, while at the other” end was South Carolina with no divorces whatsoever, as 1 de Between Samoa and New Zealand | runs a submarine range 1,500 miles | long. | ‘t e Souseof edrakle Srery, | IL 177 MAIN STREET SATURDAY MARVELOUS VALUES— EVERY HAT INCLUDED IN THIS SALE NONE RESTRICTED Felts Velvets Soleils . $1.98 Hats $2.98 Hats $3.75 Hats -$4.93 Hats $1.50 $2.23 $2.81 $3.71 Hosiery Department 1,000 Pairs of Chiffon and Semi-Service Weight Hose, all sizes and colors .......
