It la ilgnlflrant that highest in the

By matten. A law to compel the pro
ducing of a certificate of good health
before a marriage license is issued
would have its effect In reducing the
Arst cause, though It must be grant
ad there are various difficulties in the
i way of enforcement of such a law.
Toung and hasty marriages ara list
ed at the cause of 15 per cent of the
marital wrecks, This Is a cause
which hardly can be cured by legis
lation. Parents, however, can do
much to discourage too early marri
ages and can do It effectively If they
have the proper control over their
children. It will surprise many to
note that whiskey and drugs com
bined are responsible for only 15 per
cent of the matrimonial misfits. It
la commonly supposed that the liquor
habit alone was a relatively greater
destroyer of happiness.
Judge Germll's assertion that wo
men are better "stickers" in time of
want and trouble than are men will
te admitted by any fair-minded per
son of either sex. In fact, any un
prejudiced observes at a divorce court
la forced to the realization that men
provide by far the greater causes for
divorce. K ' '
