MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE .', The divorce . figures for tho United States during the year 19J4 have just been compiled and id. , auod, and as onb studies them h '. is justified in doing some view Ing with alarm. The number et mar s riages fell, of f S.7 per cent from the year before, and. tho number :of divorcee rose 3.5 per cent .if that ratio continues, we Shall be in a bud way In the course of time, h ; .-The number of marriages m 1S:4 was 1,1T8,:06 and the num- ' bir of divorces was 1T0.S6T, Con trary to what most of us would have expected, it is not the big and ' supposedly wicked and sophlst! 'cated communities that show the highest divorce rate. , N'cw York, for example, had only one divorce to 53 marriages, while Texas, for some mysterious reason. . led the procession with a little better than one divorce to each five marriages. Men and women. If these figures mean anything, are less' constant in the great open spaces than la the huddled' cities. ' it'V Is extremely difficult, of ' course, to reason accurately, from 'mere bald, figures III' s, statistical , report " Those who. attempt that, for example, would at once set Oregon ' downv as a: place where- , marriage Is a failure, for our ratio of divorce to marrtoge.'ls "by no ' means flattering. But the figure . are affected by the fact that Ore - gon has a law an utterly foolish .law,' experience has proved that drives would-be brides and grooms over the state lines to be married. while the unhappily mated go : ahead' and get their divorces a: I home. ' Thore may be another reason tor ' the extreme discrepancy oetween ' the records of New York and Texas, -. The proportion of foreign-born la New York's population is among . the highest in the United States, ' and while we are egotistically !c cllrted to think that the foreigner is moro of a law-breaker and a . less moral person generally, than ' the native, we arfj sadlj misled there by pride. . Divorce, like mur- rdcr, Is coming to bo .somewhat of . a typical American tailing, and the "i foreigner Is pretty apt to be more 'constant in the marital relation than the American. The divorce evil is one that' la . not easily abated. It may be, for that matter, that lis evil portents aro . exaggerated. A fairly large share of the total number of di- . vorces Is to be found among the childless, and it is an open ques tion ' whether the childless couple ' that can't get on together isn't bct , tor off apart. But just the same . a constant decrease in the num ber of marriages and an approxi- ' mutely equal Increase in the num ber of divorces is a disquieting ' trend. The future of this country de- : pends quite largely upon its homes, . and If the homes are to go on split ting up the prospoct Is not encour . aging. But If Estell took her husky liege lord's advice literally, she would pick out a nice, high-paying two reeler, say, .about this year arid then would slide along without get ting, in front of the kllegs again until soma time in 1930. jack's Idea la plainly to pick not only the fight that pays the monl. but on that will pay enough to keep him' going, unbrulsed ami unmarred, tor about a half a lifetime. . ' - A ROOD DEED MVtTTIPLIKD 'in 1SSS a woman In New York dly' began forwarding ' her own magaxliipv as soon as she had read them, to some missionaries sent out by her church. From that kindly habit there developed the Periodical club 'of Episcopal churchwomen which now sends books and magaxlnea to all parts of the world. Everything seemi to be wanted and used, from fashion magailnes for missionary women In stations far remote from civilisation, and detective stories for missionary bishops, to textbooks and fairy tale for children. .The mission fields of the church are hot the only region supplied with reading matter by this club. It maintains 200 travel ing libraries In rural communities In the United States. It sends books or magasines on request to ail sorts of inaccessible places. It sends sheet music, phonograph rec ords and games as well as book and magazines. A good deal of this work is done with little expense at headquarters, for donors frequently send their packages of literature direct to the recipients, only writing In to headquarters for directions and ad dresses. ' ! It Is an Interesting piece of work from many angles.. In the first place It appears to satisfy a gen ulne want. It sets a good example of accomplishment without rel tape and cumbersome organisation. And it' is Interesting proof of the development of a great service from a very small beginning.

Tho blue lodge of Masons elected the following officers: A. Lombard, W. M. George O'B. DeBar, 8. W.; J. D. Henslll, J. W.; F. W. Osburn, treasurer; James F. Robinson, sec retary. A marriage license has been Is sued to Lorenzo Huff and Elizabeth Lajolo, both of Walker. H. E. Wylle, who has H acres of orchard north ot the city, has sold S1300 worth of fruit from it this year.

The city j Immediate friends have money in and they are nil broken by the law. maintains a publicity department I tempting quantities to cause this less regardless of what crime they In connection with the chamber . Interference and die. un leahm. legislate against. I am told that of corctriice. The garage owner. the grocer, the filling station pro prietor and other concerns which derive a benefit from the motor tourist trade, contribute to this fund. They have largo investments liere. pay heavy taxes to maintain state and city government and em ploy much help at present high wages. How would these dealers ,feel in case the municipal camp were abolished and the private jowners of camps allowed to supply the tourists with their necessities? These camps out of town would monopolize the tourist trade ' in provisions, groceries, articles of dress, tobaccos, oil. gasoline, tires and parts, thus benefiting by Eu- 'gene's publicity enterprises without contributing a nickel toward the city's upkeep In the conduct of i J.-nver th.lr e.n,n hn.ln.u . ""payers.. Abolition of the municipal camp ground on the plea that the city should not engage In a 'private enterprise" has been urged. Such sophistry! As though the city wero not engaged In conducting utility enterprises such as furnishing lights and water: aa though, it did not own an aviation field, besides entering Into private contracts in municipal improvements and do ing its own street repairing. That argument is trivial. Then, again, wc are told that the city, tn maintaining the municipal camp Is depriving tho people of a much needed park. This Is not true, as picnic parties at any time may avail themselves of the prlvll egefl of bathing and forest shade enjoyed by the tourists In this camp. And, besides, those who like picnics generally show an Inclina tion to get out of town, . ..The time Is coming when Eugene will not only appoint a standing committee to extend a welcome to ail motor tourists, but will furnish to them free of cost the accommo dations ot the municipal camp and throw In for good measure band concerts and other entertainment as inducements for them to buy property here and become per manent residents. Rut If wo close the camp and turn tourists over to the mercies of private camp own ers, our chances of interesting them In Eugene as a place to locate will be slimmer. Tho tourist who has traveled far yearns for rest and a chance to stretch his legs. What hi the result? Why If ho in camped In the city grounds he brings his family down town to shop and In the evening they attend a plcturo show and patronize the cafes. If camped outside of town they re main there, buy their gas and oil and provisions In aamp and when feady to depart, step on the gas and Eugene doesn't see them for dust. Eugene residents who have been favored by visits from relatives and friends motoring from eastern states over the Pacific northwest have boon advised by these tourists that the fame of Eugene's auto camp was spread all along the line or travel by motorists who had chane'd to stop here. Especially were they Impressed by Its sightly location ana conveniences, and above all, by its lovoly strotch of water constituting tho best natural bathing pool In the upper valley. Here the travol-elalned tourist may doff his dusty travel togs and en joy a dip in the cool waters ot the Willamette. And, -yet some thoughtless peo ple would shut the motor tourist out of Eugene whilo engaged In spending publicity funds in an in tensive campaign to bring him here. in consideration of all these sur rounding olrcumstances the ques tion naturally arises; Shall the city ot Eugene allow th private auto camps to write our tickets In the conduct of municipal affairs?

About a quarter of a century ago thero .cointnencoa a general hcglra from the rural districts to the cities.. Mechanics 'were needed to cooe with the In creasing demand for labir-saving machinery, and mechanically .In clined men were In great domand. Men took their families to the city and trfered the employment -of some machinery producing factory. Tho result is obvious. The fathor was too busy with his trade, and too busy with his lodge nnd clubs by night, to pay any attention to t'r children except to foot Ihe'r hills for -clothing and books, while tho mother was putting In all ot hc-r tnure time from household du ties,. In social functions and having splendid recreation times oiitliln the home, nllowlng the children to "shift for themselves.". It Is 'easy to gurmlso what be came of tho children. The boys were Irtvlted ' Into the back alloy where they were tnught such use ful, accomplishments n. smoking cigarettes, shooting craps, and playing cards. . At th(i,, movie they bail iren a holdup thrown on the canvas.-nnd out In' the back alley the easo with which the 'holdup was pulled off, and the sensational "getaway" of the robbers were dis cussed, nnd as their "back alley" club need"d money to continue crap shooting and movie picture expenses these children get tho family gun that is of easy access, and tho next thing we hear. Is that some one has been held up.i ihe crime bolng dono by moro youth. That might bo another reason for the youthful crime wave that lias beon sweeping our land. - 1 i . , , We read with horror such news Item , came to our notice a few days ngo. when It appeared that some MorO outlaws killed a school teacher and hung, his head up on a polo as a deterrent, to i other, school teachers. That thing used to be popular away back in tho days of the cave mon, hut wo think It ought to be stampod out of this day ot civilization; hut the Moro people are In their caveman period, as far as they nro concernod. Wo are having just aa atrocious mur lers, r" even moro so considering our enlightenment, ss that by the Moro outlaws.

It Is nut only the biggest glft glvlng festival, but it In also the greatest gift-taking celebration. It Is no( generally realised that (here is a laker fur every giver, A great many people aro takor three or iur limes nnd nre not givers ut all. In spile of (his, the scales bulance, no matter how you lumper wnn ine weights. Tho givers and takers nre oven by matliomallu.il calculation If not on gifts. (lift giving Is supposed In be n mntler of spirit rather than of subsinnce. A young man presents his fiancee with a flvo dollar pni'ki.ibook, Bho Is overjoyed. On Hie other hand, there Is a man who gives his wife a five. hundred dollar necklace. He is overjawed. Until women realty appreciate their gifts, but Ihey realise Hie In dlvdunl spirit In which tho gifts wero presented. The flnncee knows that her pnekothook resulted from a slrenu nus saving of lunch money and tho purchase of twenly-flvn cent neckties. Tho married woman understands Hint the money which purchased hor necklnce wus velvet. She knows In her own heart that her husband would not deny him self an automobile, n flyer In n deadsurs stock, a pleasure Jaunt or any other moro trifle Just lo buy her a Christmas gift. I'n.ler the circumstances, aim can hardly be blamed for believing thai (ho gift enmo from tho pocket rather than (ho heart.
